Data protection
The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us.
We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this data protection information we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on our website.
Definitions
The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, in good faith and in a manner that is comprehensible to the person concerned ("lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this data protection declaration:
- Personal data
“Personal data” is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
- Processing
“Processing” is any operation or set of operations which is carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures in connection with personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.
- Restriction of processing
"Restriction of processing" is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing. - Profiling
"Profiling" is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
- Pseudonymisation
"Pseudonymisation" is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
- File system
“File system” means any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether that collection is centralized, decentralized or organized according to functional or geographical criteria.
- Controller
“Controller” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or 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 specified by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
- Processor
“Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
- Recipient
“Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules and in accordance with the purposes of the processing.
- Third party
‘Third party’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.
- Consent
‘Consent’ of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.
Legality of processing
The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. According to Article 6 (1) (a) – (f) GDPR, the legal basis for processing can be in particular:
a. The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;
b. the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to carry out pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject;
c. the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
d. the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
e. the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
f. processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Rights of the data subject
(1) Revocation of consent

You can contact us at any time to exercise your right of revocation.
(2) Right to confirmation
You have the right to request confirmation from the controller as to whether we process personal data concerning you. You can request confirmation at any time using the contact details provided above.

If personal data is processed, you can request information about this personal data and the following information at any time:
a. the purposes of the processing;
b. the categories of personal data being processed;
c. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;

h. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in those cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
If personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in accordance with Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer. We will provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs. If you make the request electronically, the information must be provided in a commonly used electronic format, unless you specify otherwise. The right to receive a copy pursuant to paragraph 3 must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
(4) Right to rectification
You have the right to request that we immediately rectify any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request that incomplete personal data be completed - also by means of a supplementary statement.
(5) Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
You have the right to request that the controller immediately erase personal data concerning you and we are obliged to erase personal data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
a. The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
b. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
c. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
d. The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
e. The erasure of the personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
f. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to paragraph 1 to erase the personal data, the controller, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.
The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not exist if processing is necessary:
- to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
- to fulfil a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously compromises it, or
- to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
(6) Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:
a. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
b. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead;
c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
d. the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.
If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, these personal data - apart from storage - will only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
To exercise the right to restriction of processing, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.
(7) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:
a. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and
b. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). This right does 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.
(8) Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If personal data is processed in order to conduct direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In connection with the use of information society services, you can exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest, for reasons related to your particular situation.
You can exercise your right of objection at any time by contacting the respective controller.
(9) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - that produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision:
a. is necessary for entering into or fulfilling a contract between the data subject and the controller,
b. is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or
c. is made with the data subject's explicit consent.
The controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
The data subject can exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.
(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In addition, 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 residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes this Regulation.
(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy
Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
Processor
We use external service providers (processors), e.g. for operating the website, hosting. A separate data processing agreement has been concluded with the service provider to ensure the protection of your personal data.
