The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so, where we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer.

Where processors are used, personal data is only transferred on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

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

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

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

WHERE 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 TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH 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 infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. This right is without prejudice to any 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 performance of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have this data transferred to a third party. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the processing. You may also have the right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. The right to restriction of processing exists in particular in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser.
