Privacy Statement


 
I. General
The information in this statement applies to the processing of personal data on our website and is intended to inform you of the purposes of the processing, the recipients, legal bases, storage time limits, and your rights. On principle, we process the personal data of our users only where this is necessary to maintain a functioning website and to provide our contents and services. Personal data are all data relating to you personally, such as your name, your address and your email address. “Data processing” means in particular the collecting, storing, use and transfer of your data.
 
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
 
In processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) b) serves as the legal basis. This also applies when processing is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
 
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
 
Where processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) d) GDPR.
 
If processing is necessary to pursue the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, the basis of processing is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
 
Personal data of the data subject are deleted or access to these data is blocked as soon as the reason for storage no longer applies. Storage may be made after the grounds for storage no longer apply if this is prescribed by law. Blocking or deletion of the data will also occur when a storage time limit prescribed by the above-mentioned norms expires unless there is a need to continue to store the data for conclusion or performance of a contract.
 
You will find further information on the legal bases of processing and the duration of storage regarding specific personal data in the respective sub-sections.
 
You will find information on your rights in Section III.

2. Right to rectification
You have the right to rectification or completion if the personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The rectification must be made without delay.

Where processing of your personal data has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 of a Member State.
 
If processing has been restricted under the above-named conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.
 
 
4. Right to erasure
a) You have the right to obtain from us erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay with the consequence that we shall have the obligation to erase these data without undue delay when one of the following grounds applies:
(1) the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

c) Exceptions
The right to erasure shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary 
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; 
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9(2) as well as Article 9(3) GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR in so far as the right referred to in a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
 
 
5. Right of notification
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we shall be obliged to communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed by us about those recipients.
 
 
6. 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. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where:
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) 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 us to another controller, where technically feasible. The rights and freedoms of others may not be adversely affected.
 
The right to data portability 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 us.
 
 
7. Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
 
We shall then no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
 
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that 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 such purposes.
 
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
 
 
8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under privacy law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under privacy law at any time. The lawfulness of the processing on the basis of your consent until revocation is not affected by the revocation.
 
 
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 performance of, a contract between you and us;
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), we implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
 
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedies, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you reside, have your place of work or where the alleged infringement occurred, if in your opinion the processing of the personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which you lodge the complaint will inform you of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of seeking judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
