III. GENERAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as your name or e-mail address. The term “processing of data” refers in particular to the collection, storage, use and transmission of your data.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. 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 sentence 1 lit. 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 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the 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 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

The personal data of data subjects will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may be stored after the purpose of storage no longer applies if this is provided for by law. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Further information on the legal basis for processing and the storage period for specific personal data can be found in the relevant subsection.

IV. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

  1. If your personal data is processed, you are a person concerned within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the person responsible (if applicable, if further requirements are met in the relevant regulations):
  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR),
  • Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16, 17 GDPR),
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
  • Right to revocation if you have consented to the processing,
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
  1. Insofar as we process personal data as explained above in order to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, you can object to this processing with effect for the future, but only if there are reasons arising from your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). If the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes, you can exercise this right at any time, even if there are no grounds. After the justified exercise of your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. This restriction does not apply if the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes.
  2. If you believe that we are not respecting your rights to the extent owed, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. Before you do this, however, we would be pleased if you would inform us of your criticism beforehand so that we can remedy the cause of the complaint ourselves.
