Security and protection of your personal data
We consider it our primary duty to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. We therefore apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a private-law company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our external service providers.

Definitions
Legislators require that personal data be processed lawfully, in good faith, and in a manner that is comprehensible to the data subject ("lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you below of the individual legal definitions also used in this privacy policy:

  1. Personal data
    "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
  2. Processing
    "Processing" means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
  3. Restriction of processing
    "Restriction of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
  4. Profiling
    "Profiling" means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
  5. Pseudonymization
    "Pseudonymization" means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  6. Filing system
    "Filing system" means any structured set of personal data which is accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized, or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis.
  7. Controller
    "Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
  8. Processor
    "Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  9. Recipient
    "Recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of such data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
  10. Third party
    "Third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
  11. Consent
    "Consent" of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Lawfulness of processing
The processing of personal data is only lawful if a legal basis exists for the processing. A legal basis for processing may in particular be, pursuant to Article 6(1)(a)–(f) GDPR:

  1. the data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;

  2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

  3. processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

  4. processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

  5. processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

  6. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Rights of the data subject

(1) Withdrawal of consent

If the processing of personal data is based on consent given, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of the consent before its withdrawal.

You may contact us at any time to exercise your right of withdrawal.

(2) Right to confirmation

You have the right to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. You may request this confirmation at any time using the contact details given above.

(3) Right of access

Where personal data is processed, you may request information at any time about this personal data and the following information:

  1. the purposes of processing;

  2. the categories of personal data being processed;

  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations;

  4. where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

  5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing;

  6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in those cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Where personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organization, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer. We will provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies requested, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If the request is made electronically, the information must be provided in a commonly used electronic format, unless otherwise specified. The right to obtain a copy pursuant to paragraph 3 shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

(4) Right to rectification

You have the right to request that we correct without undue delay any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of a supplementary statement.

(5) Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to request that the controller erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obligated to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

  2. The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

  3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

  4. The personal data has been unlawfully processed.

  5. Erasure of the personal data is required for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

  6. The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

If the controller has made the personal data public and is obligated to erase it pursuant to paragraph 1, it shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that a data subject has requested erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.

The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

(6) Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:

  1. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,

  2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead;

  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or

  4. the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted under the conditions above, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject's consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

To exercise the right to restriction of processing, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact details given above.

(7) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, provided that:

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a), or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and

  1. the processing is carried out by automated means.

When exercising your right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability is without prejudice to the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(8) Right to object

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning you carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

You may exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(9) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:

  1. is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller,

  1. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or

  1. is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

The controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy where you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
