Scope of processing of personal data

We generally only collect, store and use personal data from visitors to our website (users) to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data usually only takes place after their respective consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions. If you have given us your express consent for this, your personal data will be stored beyond your visit to our website and used for internal evaluations and analyses.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

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

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

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

If 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 outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been 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 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.

SSL encryption

Our website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or

purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data

personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.

exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist if 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 by
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;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2)(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 Art. 89 (1) GDPR,
insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render the
achievement of the objectives of that processing impossible or seriously
compromises it, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

right to information

If
you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction
of processing vis-à-vis the controller, this controller is obliged to
inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you were
disclosed of said rectification, erasure or restriction of processing,
unless doing so should prove impossible or involve disproportionate
expenditure.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

right to data portability

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

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

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In
exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal
data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another,
where technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and
rights of other persons.

The
right to data portability does not apply to the 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.

right of objection

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

The
controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you
unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the
processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless
the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If
the personal data concerning you 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 purposes of such advertising; this
also applies to profiling insofar as 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 these purposes.

In
connection with the use of information society services, you have the
option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated
procedures that use technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive
2002/58/EC.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected 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 performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

(3) with your express consent.

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

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to lodge a complaint with 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, place of work or 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 was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
