Scope of Application
This privacy policy informs users about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider of this website (hereinafter referred to as the "Offer").
Security and Protection of Your Personal Data
We consider it our primary task 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 provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed both by us and our external service providers.
Definitions
The law requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a manner that is transparent to the data subject ("lawfulness, fairness, transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this privacy policy:
1. Personal data
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she 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 which is performed on personal data or on sets of 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 the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
4. Profiling
"Profiling" is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
5. Pseudonymization
"Pseudonymization" is the processing of personal data in such a manner 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 kept 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.
6. File System
"File system" is any structured set of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized, or organized according to functional or geographical criteria.
(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, common, 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) GDPR, and
b. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability shall 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 of objection
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override 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 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 will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In connection with the use of information society services, you can exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
You have the right to object, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest.
You can exercise your right of objection at any time by contacting the respective controller.
(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 – that has legal consequences for you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This shall not apply if the decision:
a. is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller,
b. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this law contains suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
c. is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
The controller shall take suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and 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.
The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.
(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall 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 you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes this Regulation.
(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy
Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
