Security and protection of your personal data

We consider it our foremost duty to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and the most modern security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a company under private law, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

5. Pseudonymization
"Pseudonymization" means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the inclusion of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

"File system" means any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized or organized according to functional or geographical criteria.

7. Responsible person
"Responsible person" means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by European Union law or the law of the Member States, provision may be made for the responsible person or for the specific criteria for his or her designation in accordance with European Union law or the law of the Member States.

The right to receive a copy in accordance with Section 3 shall not prejudice the rights and freedoms of others.

(4) Right of correction
You have the right to ask us immediately to correct incorrect personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of a supplementary declaration.

(5) Right to deletion (“Right to be forgotten”)
You have the right to ask the responsible person to delete personal data concerning you immediately and we are obliged to delete personal data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

a. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
b. The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6 Section 1 letter a or Article 9 Section 2 letter a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
c. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no legitimate overriding reasons for processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 Sect. 2 of the GDPR.

Where the responsible person has made the personal data public and is obliged to delete them pursuant to Section 1, he/she shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform the persons responsible for the processing of the personal data that a data subject has requested them to delete all links to or copies or replications of the personal data.

The right to deletion (“Right to be forgotten”) does not exist if the processing is necessary:

– to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
- to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under European Union or national law to which the responsible person is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the responsible person;
- for reasons of public interest relating to public health pursuant to Article 9 Section 2 lit. h and i and Article 9 Section 3 of the GDPR;
- for archival, scientific or historical research purposes in the public interest or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 Section 1 of the GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in Section 1 is likely to make the attainment of the objectives of such processing impossible or to seriously prejudice it, or

(6) Right to restrict processing

a. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period of time that allows the responsible person to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
b. the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses to have the personal data deleted and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data;
c. the responsible person no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, or
d. the data subject has lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 Section 1 of the GDPR, as long as it is not yet clear whether the justified reasons of the responsible person outweigh those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data, apart from being stored, shall only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the purpose of pursuing, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

In order to exercise the right to restrict the processing, the data subject may at any time contact us at the contact details given above.

(7) Right to data transferability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided us with in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to have this data transferred to another person in charge without hindrance by the responsible person to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:

a. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6 Section 1 lit. a or Article 9 Section 2 lit. a or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 Section 1 lit. b GDPR and

b. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

When exercising the right to transfer data in accordance with Section 1, you have the right to obtain that personal data be transferred directly from one responsible person to another, as far as technically feasible. Exercising the right to data transferability shall not affect the right to deletion ("right to be forgotten"). This right 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 responsible person.

(8) Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 Section 1 lit. e or f of the GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions. The responsible person shall no longer process the personal data unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the purpose of exercising or defending legal claims.

Where personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling, insofar as it relates to such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for the purposes of direct marketing, your personal data will no longer be processed for those purposes.

Regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, in the context of the use of Information Society services, you may exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for the purposes of scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes, in accordance with Article 89 Section 1, except where such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

You can exercise your right of objection at any time by contacting the person responsible for the matter in question.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect on you or which significantly affects you in a similar way. This shall not apply if the decision:

a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the responsible person,

b. is authorized by European Union law or the law of the Member States to which the responsible person is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject; or

c. with the express consent of the person concerned.

The responsible person takes appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on behalf of the responsible person, to express his or her point of view and to challenge the decision.

The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the person responsible for the data protection.

(10) Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, or in the Member State in which you work, or in the Member State in which the alleged infringement occurred, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you is being carried out in breach of this regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy
Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to appeal to a supervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 of the GDPR, they shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy if they consider that their rights under this regulation have been infringed as a result of their personal data being processed in breach of this regulation.
