Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
Personal data (usually referred to just as “data” below) will only be processed by us to the necessary extent and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website only, including its contents and the services offered within.

As the controller, LECTURA GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed.

Furthermore, users and data subjects have the right according to Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Section 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
