III. General information about data processing

1. What is personal data?

Personal data is individual information about personal or impersonal relations of a defined or definable natural person. Included herein are, for instance, your real name, your address, your phone number or your date of birth. The use of our website is normally possible without providing any personal data. In case personal data is requested on our web pages (e.g. name, address or e-mail address), this will be on a voluntary basis, where possible.

2. Scope of personal data processing

We basically process personal data of our users only insofar as this is required to provide a functioning website and to provide our content and services. Processing personal data of our users is regularly carried out only after the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases, where a prior consent is not possible due to factual reasons and where data processing is authorised by the statutory provisions.

3. Legal basis of the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the Data Subject for processing personal data, section 6 (1) lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as legal basis.
When processing personal data that is required to fulfil a contract of which a contractual party is the Data Subject, then s. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR shall serve as legal basis. This also applies to data processing which is required to perform pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as data processing is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, s. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR is the legal basis.
In case the vital interests of the Data Subject or of another natural person require processing of personal data, s. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR shall serve as legal basis.
If the processing is required to ensure the legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject do not outweigh the aforementioned interests, s. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR shall serve as legal basis for the processing.

4. Deletion of data and duration of retention

Personal data of the Data Subject is deleted or made inaccessible as soon as the purpose of the retention has ceased to exist. Beyond that, a retention may be carried out in case the European or national legislation, to which the Controller is subject, envisages the retention by EU regulations, laws or other regulations. The data is also made inaccessible or deleted in case a retention period required by the mentioned standards is terminated, unless further retention is required for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

5. SSL encryption

This page uses SSL encryption for safety reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the owner of the page. An encrypted connection can be identified by looking at the address bar of the browser, where “http://” changes to “https://” and the lock symbol in the browser line.
When the SSL encryption is enabled, data that is transmitted from you to us cannot be read by a third party.

6. Web host

This website is hosted by a German web host, DomainFactory GmbH. The web host must also comply with the GDPR and all other data protection laws or regulations that are applicable in EU member states regarding data protection. The operator of this website also concluded an order processing contract with the web host.  This is a contract in which the web host is obliged to protect the transferred data, to process it with respect to the data protection regulations on behalf of the operator of this website and, in particular, not transfer it to third parties.

        a) Duty of deletion

        You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data by the Controller without delay and the Controller has the duty to delete personal data without delay, provided one of the following reasons applies:

        (1) The personal data related to you is no longer needed for the purposes it was collected for or processed in any fashion.

        If you have asserted the right to rectification, deletion or restriction of processing towards the Controller, the latter will be obliged to inform all recipients to which the personal data related to you was disclosed about the rectification or deletion of the data or the restriction of processing, unless this is evidently impossible or requires unreasonable efforts.
        You have the right to get informed about these recipients by the Controller.

        6. Right of data portability

        You have the right to receive all personal data related to you that you provided to the Controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. Moreover, you have the right to submit this data to another Controller without interference by the Controller to which the personal data was provided, insofar as

        (1) Processing is based upon a consent according to s. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or s. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract as per s. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and
        (2) Processing is performed by means of automated procedures.

        Whilst exercising this right, you furthermore have the right to claim that the personal data related to you is directly submitted from one Controller to another Controller, provided this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons shall not be affected thereby.

        You have the right, for reasons that result from your specific situation, to object the processing of your personal data carried out due to s. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR at any time; this applies also to a profiling based upon those provisions.
        The Controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless he can prove compelling protection-worthy reasons for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal entitlements.
        If your personal data is processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object the processing of the personal data related to you for the purpose of such advertising at any time; this also applies to profiling, provided it is in connection with such direct advertising.
        In case you object the processing for direct advertising purposes, then personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for those purposes.
        You have the option, in the context of the use of services of the information society, to assert your right of objection by using automated procedures in which technical specifications are used, regardless of directive 2002/58/EG.

        8. Right of withdrawal of the declaration of consent regarding data protection regulations

        You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent regarding data protection at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing undertaken on the basis of the consent prior to the withdrawal.

        9. Automated decision in an individual case including profiling

        You have the right to be not subjected to a decision that is exclusively based upon automated processing, including profiling, which will unfold a legal effect on your person or which will impair you in a similar fashion. This does not apply, if the decision

        1. is required for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the Controller
        2. is permissible due to legal provisions of the Union or of member states to which the Controller is subject and, if these legal provisions include appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests or
        3. is rendered with your explicit consent.

        However, these decisions must not be based upon special categories of personal data acc. to section 9, paragraph 1 GDPR, insofar as section 9, p. 2 lit. a or g GDPR is applicable and suitable measures to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken. Regarding the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the Controller will take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which includes at least the right to enforce the intervention of a person on the side of the Controller, the right to establish one’s own stance and to contest the decision.

        10. Right of complaint to a supervisory authority

        Regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state in which you reside, work or where the suspected violation occurred in case you believe that the processing of personal data related to you is a violation of the GDPR.

        The supervisory authority at which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the appellant about the status and the results of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy as per section 78 GDPR.
