Security and Protection of Your Personal Data

We consider it our primary responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. For this reason, we apply the utmost care and use state-of-the-art security standards to ensure the highest possible protection of your personal data.

As a private-sector company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by 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”); an identifiable natural person is one 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 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, organisation, 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 their processing in the future.
  4. Profiling
    “Profiling” means 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location, or movements.
  5. Pseudonymisation
    “Pseudonymisation” means 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 such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  6. Filing System
    “Filing system” means any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised, or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis.
  7. Controller
    “Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of 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.
  8. Processor
    “Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  9. Recipient
    “Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
  10. Third Party
    “Third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
  11. Consent
    “Consent” of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.


Lawfulness of Processing

The processing of personal data is lawful only if there is a legal basis for the processing. In accordance with Article 6(1)(a–f) GDPR, the legal bases for processing in particular may include:

  1. The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  4. Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  5. Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  6. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Rights of the Data Subject

(1) Withdrawal of Consent

If the processing of personal data is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before its withdrawal.

You can exercise your right of withdrawal at any time by contacting us.

(2) Right to Confirmation

You have the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. You can request this confirmation at any time using the contact details provided above.

If personal data are processed, you may request access to these personal data and the following information at any time:

  1. the purposes of the processing;
  2. the categories of personal data being processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations;
  4. where possible, the planned storage period for the personal data, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

  6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  7. if the personal data were not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Articles 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and – at least in those cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

If personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization, you have the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer. We will provide a copy of the personal data that are the subject of processing. For any further copies you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If the request is made electronically, the information will be provided in a commonly used electronic format, unless you indicate otherwise. The right to receive a copy pursuant to paragraph 3 must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

(4) Right to Rectification

You have the right to request from us the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Considering the purposes of processing, you also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data – including by means of a supplementary statement.

(5) Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

You have the right to request that the controller delete personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obliged to erase personal data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR was based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
  5. The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data have been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase them pursuant to paragraph 1, he or she shall take reasonable measures, considering available technology and the implementation costs, including technical measures, to inform controllers who process the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to those personal data, as well as copies or replications of those personal data.

The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation under 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;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right mentioned in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  • for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

(6) Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request from us the restriction of the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:

  1. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
  4. the data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, as long as it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted under the above conditions, such personal data – aside from storage – may only be processed with the consent of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

To exercise the right to restriction of processing, the data subject may 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 that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that:

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

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, insofar as this is technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does 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 to Object

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless he or she can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to the 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 may exercise your right to object using automated procedures, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, employing technical specifications.

You also have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

You may exercise the right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(9) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject 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 entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller;
  2. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms as well as legitimate interests; or
  3. is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

The controller shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms as well as legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express one’s 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 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 the 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 out-of-court remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 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 violation of this Regulation.
