Using the internet pages of LICHTI is in principle possible without providing personal data. If any person would like to use the service of our firm, a processing of personal data may be necessary. In case such processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for said processing, the persons concerned are asked for consent.
LICHTI, as the responsible party, has taken many technical and organizational steps to ensure as complete a protection as possible of the personal data processed by this internet page. Nevertheless, internet-based transmission of personal data may be subject to security breaches so that a complete protection is not possible. For this reason, any person concerned has the possibility of transmitting personal data by alternative means, such as by telephone.
Any person concerned is free to contact our Data Security Officer for all matters concerning data protection.
other similar data and information with respect to security in case of attacks on our IT systems.
Provide necessary information for the authorities for the purposes of law enforcement in case of cyber attacks.
The registered data and information are statistically analyzed by LICHTI with the aim of increasing data protection and security in order to ensure an optimal security level for the personal data processed by us. The anonymized data of the server log files are saved separately from any information provided by the person concerned.
The party responsible for processing only processes and stores personal data for the duration necessary for achieving the purpose of the storage or in case this is necessary by the corresponding regulations. If this purpose is no longer applicable or if any term provided by corresponding regulations lapses, the personal data will be routinely deleted in accordance with the corresponding regulations.
Users and/or any other parties which are concerned by the data processing of LICHTI can at any time request information with respect to the personal data stored by LICHTI. In case the corresponding regulations are met, they can request the correction, deletion, limitation and opposition against the processing.
Users of the internet pages of LICHTI, and any other persons concerned, have the right to receive their personal data in a structured, usual and machine-readable format. This includes the right that the personal data is transmitted to another responsible party. If technically feasible, the users of the internet pages of LICHTI and any other persons concerned can request that LICHTI transmits the personal data directly to the responsible party.
For all rights in this chapter and in case of questions or complaints concerning processing of personal data, the users and any persons concerned can contact LICHTI’s Data Security Officer. Complaints about processing of personal data by LICHTI can also be addressed to the responsible authorities.
For the purposes of data protection, the responsible authority is the State Data Security officer of the federal state in which our firm resides. A list of all Data Security Officers of Germany and their contact data can be accessed by the following link (in German): https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
The party responsible for processing data registers and processes personal data of applicants for the purposes of the application procedure. Processing can be performed electronically, especially if the applicant sends the corresponding application documents electronically, e.g. by E-Mail.
If no application contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted according to the corresponding regulations after the letter of refusal is sent and no legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing prevent deletion, for example the burden of proof according to the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Art. 1 Abs. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO serves as legal basis for processing data for which we request consent concerning a specific processing purpose. Is the processing of personal data necessary for fulfilling a contract to which the person concerned is a contract party, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO, for example the delivery of goods or performance of services. The same applies for processing of data prior to conclusion of a contract, for example in case of requests about our products or services. Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c) DS-GVO serves as legal basis in case our firm is under legal obligation to process personal data, for example to fulfill tax responsibilities. As to the case where Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO applies, our legitimate interest is the conducting of our business.
The criterion for the duration of saving personal data is the applicable retention period according to the corresponding regulations. After the retention period, the data is routinely deleted if it is not necessary anymore for fulfilling a contract or for concluding a contract.
We inform you that providing personal data is in partly prescribed by law (tax regulations) or can result from contractual regulations (Information concerning contract parties). It may be necessary for a person concerned to provide us personal data during the course of concluding a contract which may be processed. The persons concerned (Applicant and/or inventor) are, for example, obligated to transmit personal data if our firm concludes a contract with their employer. Not transmitting said personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned and/or his/her employer could not be concluded.
As a responsible firm, we do not use automatic decision making or profiling processes.
