3 General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing personal data

In general, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website with our content and services. The regular processing of personal data only takes place with the consent of the user. Exceptions include cases where prior consent cannot be technically obtained and where the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for data processing

Where consent is appropriate for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of their data.

As for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual activities.

When it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or that of a third party, and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the interest of the former, Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR will serve as the legal basis for the processing of data.

3. Data removal and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage has been accomplished. Additional storage may occur if this is provided for by the European or national legislator within the EU regulations, law, or other relevant regulations to which the data controller is subject. Restriction or erasure of the data also takes place when the storage period stipulated by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to prolong the storage of the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling the respective contract.

4 Rights of the data subject

When your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and have the following rights:

1. Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

You may request the data controller to confirm whether your personal data is processed by them.

If such processing occurs, you can request the following information from the data controller:

Purposes of processing
Categories of personal data being processed.
Recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed.
Planned storage period or the criteria for determining this period
The existence of the rights of rectification, erasure or restriction or opposition.
The existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
If applicable, origin of the data (if collected from a third party).
If applicable, existence of automated decision-making including profiling with meaningful information about the logic involved, the scope and the effects to be expected.
If applicable, transfer of personal data to a third country or international organization.

2. Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

You have a right to rectification and/or modification of the data, if your processed personal data is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller must correct the data without delay

3. Right to the restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

If you challenge the accuracy of your personal data for a period that enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of your personal data.
The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of their use instead.
The data controller or its representative no longer need the personal data for the purpose of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or
If you have objected to the processing pursuant and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate interests of the data controller override your interests.

4. Right to erasure ("Right to be forgotten") (Art. 17 GDPR)

If you request from the data controller to delete your personal data without undue delay, they are required to do so immediately if one of the following applies:

Personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed.
You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to and where there is no other legal basis for processing the data.
You object to the processing of the data and there are no longer overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or you object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation in Union law or Member State law to which the data controller is subject.
Your personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary

to exercise the right to freedom of speech and information;
to fulfil a legal obligation required by the law of the Union or Member States to which the data controller is subject, or to perform a task of public interest or in the exercise of public authority delegated to the representative.
for reasons of public interest in the field of public health.
for archival purposes of public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes.
to enforce, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive your personal data given to the data controller in a structured and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another person without hindrance by the data controller who was initially given the data, if:

6. Right to object

For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have, at any time, the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) (e) or 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If the personal data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data in regard to such advertising; this also applies to profiling associated with direct marketing.

7. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
