We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is usually only carried out with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of data is required by legal regulations.
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
Personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion or performance of a contract.
If personal data concerning you is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights against the controller:
You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed.
If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the controller:
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.
Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of processing of your personal data:
a) Obligation to erase
You may request the erasure of personal data concerning you from the controller without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
b) Information to third parties
Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about these recipients from the controller.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Additionally, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller
without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, if:
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1) sentence 1 point e or f GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such purposes.
You have the option to exercise your right to object in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – by automated means using technical specifications.
You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent declaration at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
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
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR unless Article 9(2)(a) or (b) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
With regard to the cases referred to in points 1 and 3, the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you 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 the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
