III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 § 1 lit. (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 § 1 lit. (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 § 1 lit. (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6 § 1 lit. (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Article 6 § 1 lit. (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

  2. the categories of personal data which is processed;

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion versus the responsible party if your personal data processed is inaccurate or incomplete. The responsible party shall make the correction without undue delay.

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:

  1. if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the responsible party to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

  2. if the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;

  3. if the responsible party no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or

  4. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 § 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the responsible party outweigh your grounds.

Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may be processed, with the exception of their storage, only with your 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 a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the responsible party before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the responsible party to delete your personal data without undue delay, and the responsible party is obliged to delete such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

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

  2. you revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6 § 1 lit. (a) or Article 9 § 2 lit. (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

  3. you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 § 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 § 2 GDPR.

  4. your personal data has been processed unlawfully.

  5. the deletion of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the responsible party is subject.

  6. your personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8 § 1 GDPR.

  7. information to third parties

If the responsible party has made your personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17 § 1 of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data responsible parties which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data.

b) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

  1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the responsible party is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the responsible party;

  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 § 2 lit (h) and (i) and Art. 9 § 3 GDPR;

  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 § 1 of the GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in Section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or

  5. for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the responsible party, the responsible party is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the data responsible party.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the responsible party in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another responsible party without hindrance from the responsible party to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

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

  2. the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that your personal data is transferred directly from one responsible party to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

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 responsible party.

7. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 § 1 lit. (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The responsible party shall no longer process your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose 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, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under the data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated decision in individual cases 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 the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract between you and the responsible party,

  2. is permitted by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the responsible party is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

  3. is done with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 § 1 of the GDPR, unless Article 9 § 2 lit. (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the responsible party shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms of, and the legitimate interests of, the data subject, which shall include, at least, the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the responsible party, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

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 residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. Current status is August 2022.
