Scope of processing for personal data We fundamentally process our users’ personal data only to the extent that this is necessary in order to provide them with a functional website along with our content and services. As a rule, our users’ personal data is only processed with the user’s consent. Exceptions apply in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for practical reasons, and where processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions. 2. Legal basis for processing personal data If and to the extent that we obtain consent from the data subject for processing transactions, Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. In processing personal data that is needed in order to fulfill a contract with the data subject, Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing transactions that are necessary in order to perform pre-contractual measures. If and to the extent that personal data must be processed in order to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require personal data to be processed, Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary in order to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and unless the data subject’s interests, basic rights and basic freedoms override the former interest, Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. 3. Data erasure and storage period The data subject’s personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the storage purpose no longer applies. Longer storage may occur where required by European or national law in Union ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data shall also be blocked or erased if a storage period established by the abovementioned standards expires, unless the data must continue to be stored in order to conclude or fulfill a contract.

In addition, we collect the IP address of the accessing computer and the date and time of your registration. The newsletter shall be sent via our internal newsletter delivery system through our server area. Newsletters contain a “web beacon,” a pixel-sized file that is accessed by our delivery service when the newsletter is opened. This access initially includes technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of access.

Withdrawal right The user in question can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To this end, each newsletter includes a corresponding link, which is also used to withdraw consent for storage of the personal data collected during registration. Analysis using SlimStat 1.

The Controller shall perform such rectification without undue delay. 3. Right to restriction of processing Under the following conditions, you can request a restriction of processing for your personal data: (1) if you contest the accuracy of your personal data, for a period enabling the Controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; (2) if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead; (3) if the Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Sec. 1 GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the Controller override your ground. Where processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or in order to establish, exercise or defend 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 a Member State. If processing has been restricted pursuant to the above requirements, you shall be informed by the Controller before the restriction is lifted. 4. Right to erasure a) Erasure obligation You have the right to obtain from the Controller the erasure of personal data concerning you, and the Controller has the obligation to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies: (1) Your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. (2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. a or Art. 9 Sec. 2 lt. a GDPR, and where there is no other legal basis for the processing.

Notification right If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing toward the Controller, the Controller shall notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed about this rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to obtain information from the Controller about these recipients. 6. Right to data portability You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to the Controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, where: (1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. a GDPR or Art. 9 Sec. 2 lt. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. b GDPR and (2) the processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. The right to data portability shall 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 the Controller. 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 Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. e or f GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions. The Controller shall no longer process your personal data unless the Controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes. In the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your objection right by automated means using technical specifications. 8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawal of your consent shall not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place on the basis of your consent before the time of the withdrawal. 9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling You shall 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 shall not apply if the decision: (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the Controller, (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the Controller is 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, such decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 Sec. 1 GDPR unless Art. 9 Sec. 2 lt. a or g GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place. In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the Controller shall 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 own point of view and to contest the decision. 10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant about the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR. © 2021SitemapLegalData protection informationGTCNewsletter
