General information on data processing

Scope of personal data processing

We utilize our users' personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide an operational site and as well as our content and services. The utilization of our users' personal data is only undertaken periodically with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for legal or circumstantial reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for processing personal data

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

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

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard 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, Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Data deletion and storage duration

The data subject's personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Blocking or erasure of data will be carried out even if a storage deadline prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless data storage is a necessity for concluding or performing a contract.

Rights of the data subject

The following list includes all rights of the persons concerned according to the GDPR. Rights that are not relevant to the own website need not be mentioned. In this respect, the list can be shortened. If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights with respect to the controller:

  1. the purposes for processing the personal data;
  2. the categories of personal data being processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
  4. the planned storage duration of personal data concerning you or, if specific information in this respect is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
  5. the existence of a right of rectification or deletion of personal data that concerns you or of a restriction on processing by the responsible party or of a right to object to such processing;
  6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority
  7. any available information on the origin of the data if the personal data has not been collected from the data subject;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 para. 1 and 4, GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information regarding whether your personal information will be transmitted to a third-party country or an international organisation. In this respect, you can request the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. Art. 46 GDPR to be informed with regard to the transmission.

This right to information may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realization of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfillment of research or statistical purposes.

The right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion with respect to the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller shall make the correction immediately. Your right to rectification may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realization of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfillment of research or statistical purposes.

The right to restrict processing

Under the following conditions, you may request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted if:

  1. you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period that enables the responsible party to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted;
  3. the responsible party does not need the personal data for longer than the processing's purposes, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  4. you object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the responsible party outweigh your grounds.

Where processing of the personal data that concerns you has been restricted, such data – apart from being stored – may be processed only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on the grounds of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the processing restriction has been done in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.

Your right to restrict processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realization of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfillment of research or statistical purposes.

The right to erasure

Obligation to erase

You may request that the controller delete the personal data that concerns you immediately, and the controller will be obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. the personal data that concerns you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
  2. you revoke your consent to the processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
  4. The personal data that concerns you has been processed unlawfully.
  5. The deletion of personal data is required to comply with legal obligations according to Union law or the laws of the Member States to which the controller is subject;
  6. The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to services offered by the information society according to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

Transfer of personal data to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data that concerns you public and if the controller is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, that controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical means, while taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform the parties responsible for data processing who process the personal data, that you as the person concerned have requested deletion of all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data.

Exceptions

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

  1. to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
  2. for the performance of a legal obligation required for processing under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred to the controller;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the field of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 (h) and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the interest of public, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudicial the attainment of the objectives of such processing; or
  5. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

The right to information

If you have exercised your right to have the controller correct, delete or limit the processing, this party is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data that concerns you has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

It is your right to have the controller inform you regarding such recipients.

The right to data portability

You have the right to obtain your personal data, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass this data on to another controller without obstruction by the controller to whom the personal data was provided, insofar as

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR and
  2. the processing is undertaken using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.

Right to object

You have the right, for reasons arising from your specific situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time, which is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (e) or (f) GDPR; the same applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data that concerns you, unless the party can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data that concerns you is being processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data that concerns you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.

If you object to processing that is for direct marketing purposes, the personal data that concerns you 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 also have the right to object, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR. This right to object may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realization of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfillment of research or statistical purposes.

The right to withdraw the data protection declaration of consent

You have the right to withdraw your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing taking place on the basis of this consent before its revocation.

Automated decision in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 (a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedom as well as your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to state his or her own position and to challenge the decision

The right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or where the infringement is suspected, if you believe that the processing of personal data that concerns you is in contravention of the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the appeal has been filed shall inform the appellant of the status and results of the appeal, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR. http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
