Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data under Article 9(1) GDPR are processed.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is necessary.

We only share personal data with external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally required to do so, if we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer.

If we use processors, we only share personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.

In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing will be concluded.


Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.


Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing.

If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.


Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.


Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine readable format, and to transmit it to yourself or to a third party.

If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.


Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data.

For this and further questions about personal data, you may contact us at any time.


Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time.

The right to restriction exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your stored personal data, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.

If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction.

If processing has been restricted, such data may only be processed, apart from storage, with your consent or for legal claims, to protect the rights of another person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
