We regard it as our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorised access. That is why we apply the utmost care and the latest security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a company under private law, 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 taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our external service providers.

The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, in good faith and in a way that is comprehensible to the data subject (“lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency”). To ensure this, we will inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this privacy policy.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is a natural person 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 specific characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or are the social identity of that natural person.

“Processing” means any process carried out, with or without the aid of automated processes, or any such series of operations in connection with personal data, such as the collection, collection, organization, ordering, storage, adjustment or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure through transmission, dissemination, or other form of provision, reconciliation, or linking, restriction, deletion, or destruction.

“Restriction of processing” is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

“Profiling” is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or changes of location of that natural person.

“Pseudonymization” is the processing of 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 this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

“File system” means any structured collection of personal data that is accessible in accordance with specific criteria, regardless of whether that collection is managed centrally, decentrally or in accordance with functional or geographical aspects.

“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 processing 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.

“Processor” is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible

“Recipient” is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients; the processing of such data by those authorities is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection rules in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

“Third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

“Consent” by the data subject is any voluntary, informed and unambiguous statement of intent in the specific case, in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative action by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

If personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organization, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer. We provide a copy of the personal data that is the subject of processing. For any further copies that you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If you submit the application electronically, the information must be provided in a standard electronic format, unless he states otherwise. The right to receive a copy in accordance with paragraph 3 shall not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

(4) Right to rectification

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

(5) Right to deletion

(“Right to be forgotten”) You have the right to request that the person responsible delete personal data concerning you immediately, and we are required to delete personal data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

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

02 The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a or Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

03 The data subject objects to processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for processing, or the data subject objects to processing in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR.

04 The personal data was processed unlawfully.
‍
05 The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject.

06 The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR. If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to delete them in accordance with paragraph 1, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that a data subject has requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data. The right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”) does not exist insofar as processing is necessary:

(6) Right to restrict processing

You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions is met:

01 the accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject, for a period of time which enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
‍
02 the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses to delete the personal data and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted;

03 the person responsible no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

04 the data subject has objected to processing in accordance with Article 21 paragraph 1 GDPR as long as it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject. If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, this personal data — apart from storage — will only be processed with the consent of the data subject or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State. In order to assert the right to restrict processing, the data subject can 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, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer this data to another person responsible without hindrance from the person responsible to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:

01 the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a or Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b GDPR and

02 processing is carried out using automated procedures. When exercising the right to data portability in accordance with paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”). This right does not apply to processing which is necessary for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, this personal data — apart from being stored — will only be used with the consent of the data subject or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State. In order to assert the right to restrict processing, the data subject can contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.

For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letters e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller no longer processes the personal data unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
‍
If 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 purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
‍
Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
‍
You have the right to object, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 paragraph 1, unless the processing is necessary to perform a task in the public interest.
You can exercise your right of objection at any time by contacting the relevant person responsible.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which has legal effect on you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision:

01 is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the person responsible,

02 is admissible under Union or Member State legislation to which the person responsible is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or

03 is carried out with the express consent of the person concerned. The controller shall take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain intervention by a person from the controller, to express his own point of view and to challenge the decision.
The data subject can exercise this right at any time by contacting the relevant person responsible.

(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 the data subject considers that the processing of personal data concerning him or her is contrary to this Regulation. The data subject can exercise this right at any time by contacting the relevant person responsible.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

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