Security and Protection of Your Personal Data

We consider it our top priority to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and the latest security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

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

Definitions

The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner understandable to the data subject (“lawfulness, fairness, transparency”). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions 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 to 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 marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

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 work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements of that natural person.

5. Pseudonymization

"Pseudonymization" means processing personal data in such a way 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. File System

"File system" means any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, regardless of whether the collection is centralized, decentralized, or organized according to functional or geographical criteria.

7. Controller

"Controller" means a 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 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 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 are not regarded as recipients; the processing of such data by those authorities is 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 signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them, either by a statement or by a clear affirmative action.

Lawfulness of Processing

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. According to Article 6(1)(a)–(f) of the GDPR, the legal basis for processing may include:

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

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

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

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

e. 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;

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

We provide a copy of the personal data subject to processing. For any additional copies you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If the request is made electronically, the information will be provided in a commonly used electronic format unless otherwise specified. The right to receive a copy under paragraph 3 must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

(4) Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we promptly correct any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Considering the purposes of processing, you also have the right to request completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

(5) Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

You have the right to request that the controller delete personal data concerning you without delay, and we are obliged to erase personal data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

a. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

b. You withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

c. You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

d. The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

e. The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

f. Personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged under paragraph 1 to erase them, they shall take reasonable measures, considering available technology and implementation costs, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.

The right to erasure ('right to be forgotten') does not apply where processing is necessary for:

– exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

– compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller 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 controller;

– reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;

– 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 paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or

– the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

(6) Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request from us the restriction of processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:

a. 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,

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

c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or

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

Where processing has been restricted pursuant to the above conditions, 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 a Member State.

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

(7) Right to data portability

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

a. 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) of the GDPR, and

b. the processing is carried out by automated means.

When exercising the right to data portability under paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Exercising the right to data portability does not affect 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 to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for 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 processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

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

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or 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 the 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:

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

b. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which includes suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or

c. is based on your explicit consent.

The controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention from the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

You may exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.

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

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, particularly in the Member State of your residence, workplace, or the location of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates this regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or out-of-court remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you believe that the rights granted to you under this regulation have been infringed as a result of processing your personal data that is not in compliance with this regulation.
