“Personal information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter the “data subject”); a natural person is considered as identifiable, who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, to an identification number, to location data, to an online identifier (eg cookie) or to one or more special features, that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person. “Processing” means any process performed with or without the aid of automated procedures or any such process associated with personal data. The term goes far and includes virtually every handling of data. “Pseudonymisation” means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without additional information being provided, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person. “Profiling” means any kind of automated processing of personal data which involves the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular aspects relating to job performance, economic situation, health or personal data to analyze or predict preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or relocation of that natural person. “Responsible person” means the natural or legal person, public authority, establishment or body that decides, alone or in concert with others, on the purposes and means of processing personal data. “Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, establishment or body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties), transmit them to them or otherwise grant access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if the data is transmitted to third parties, as to payment service providers, in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR is required to fulfill the contract), or you have consented to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests (eg the use of agents, webhosters, etc .). Insofar as we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “contract processing contract”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or in the context of the use of third party services or disclosure, or transmission of data to third parties, this is done only if it is to fulfill our (pre) contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or have the data processed in a third country only under special conditions of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. That the processing is e.g. based on specific guarantees, such as the officially recognized level of data protection (for example, the US Privacy Shield) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
“Cookies” are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store the information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes his browser. In such a cookie, examples of data that could be saved include the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. The term “permanent” or “persistent” refers to cookies that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. Thus, for example, the login status will be saved if users visit it after several days. Likewise, in such a cookie the interests of the users can be stored, which are used for range measurement or marketing purposes. A “third-party cookie” refers to cookies that are offered by providers other than the person who manages the online offer (otherwise, if it is only their cookies, this is called “first-party cookies”). We can use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our privacy policy. If users do not want cookies stored on their computer, they will be asked to disable the option in their browser’s system settings. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer. A general contradiction to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes of many services, especially in the case of tracking, can be found and explained on the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the usage of cookies can be prohibited by disabling them in the settings of the browser. Please note that it may then not be possible to use all features of this online offer.
