We are not prepared and obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.
The free and freely accessible contents of this website were created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website does not guarantee that the free and freely accessible journalistic guides and news provided are correct and up-to-date. Contributions marked by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. Only by the call of the free and freely accessible contents no contractual relationship between the user and the offerer comes off, in this respect it is missing at the right binding will of the offerer.
This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When linking the external links for the first time, the provider checked the external content for any legal infringements. At that time, no legal violations were apparent. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The setting of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as his own. A permanent control of the external links is not reasonable for the provider without concrete indications of legal violations. However, if we become aware of any legal infringements, such external links will be deleted immediately.
Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.
The persons concerned are collectively referred to as “users”.
If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GMO is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures which take place at your request, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GMO is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) DS-GMO is the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(1)(d) DS-GMO is the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect our interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh these, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) DS-GMO is the legal basis.
We will not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. If this is the case, the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers for contract fulfilment or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to surrender the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, security defence or for the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
We also use contract processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting our websites and databases) to process your data. If data are passed on to contractors within the framework of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GMO. We carefully select our contractors, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the contractors must have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and DS-GMO.
The adoption of the basic European data protection regulation (DS-GMO) created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data will therefore mainly be processed by companies for which DS-GMOs are used. Should processing be carried out by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must fulfil the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DS GMO compliance. This means that processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the official recognition by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or the observance of officially recognised special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”. For US companies, submission to the so-called “Privacy Shield”, the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, meets these requirements.
Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage ceases to apply, unless their further storage is necessary for purposes of proof or this is contrary to statutory storage obligations. These include, for example, commercial law obligations to retain business letters in accordance with § 257 Paragraph 1 HGB (6 years) and tax law obligations to retain receipts in accordance with § 147 Paragraph 1 AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless the storage is still necessary for concluding or fulfilling a contract.
We do not use automatic decision making or profiling.
This data is not stored together with other personal data of yours.
These data serve the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and contents as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation.
The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) DS-GMO.
For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a period of days. Upon expiry of this period, they will be automatically deleted, unless we need them for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal infringements.
Insofar as the processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a), Art. 7 DS-GMO, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
If we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) DS-GMO, you may object to the processing. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.
You have the right to request confirmation from us whether personal data concerning you will be processed. If this is the case, you have a right to information about your personal data stored with us according to Art. 15 DS-GMO. This includes in particular information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the origin of your data if these were not collected directly from you.
You have the right to have incorrect data corrected or completed in accordance with Art. 16 DS-GMO.
You have the right to have your data stored by us deleted in accordance with Art. 17 DS-GMO, unless statutory or contractual retention periods or other statutory obligations or rights to further storage prevent this.
– if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DS-GMO and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the person responsible outweigh your reasons.
You have a right to data transferability in accordance with Art. 20 DS-GMO, which means that you can receive the personal data stored by us about you in a structured, current and machine-readable format or request the transfer to another person responsible.
They have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority. As a general rule, they may contact the supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where they are staying, working or allegedly infringing.
In order to protect all personal data transmitted to us and to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed by us, but also by our external service providers, we have taken suitable technical and organisational security measures. Therefore, among other things, all data between your browser and our server is transmitted in encrypted form via a secure SSL connection.
