Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY

We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection is a top priority for our management. In general, you can use our website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data—such as a data subject’s name, address, email address, or phone number—is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us. Through this Privacy Policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects of their rights.

As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may inherently involve security risks, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, data subjects are free to provide us with their personal data through alternative means, such as by telephone.

DEFINITIONS

This Privacy Policy is based on the terminology used by European legislators and regulators when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

In this Privacy Policy, we use the following terms, among others:

A) PERSONAL DATA

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they 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 factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

Categories of personal data relevant to the privacy policy

1. Identification information (name, gender, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, marital status)
2. Contact information (address, phone number, email)
3. Financial information: Payment details (credit card number, bank account information)
4. Usage data: Information about the use of the service or product (log files, IP address, browsing history, cookies)
5. Communication data: email correspondence, chat logs, call recordings
6. Location data: GPS data, location information from mobile devices
7. Social media: Information from social media (profile information, contacts, likes, and comments)
8. Profile data: Information from user profiles, interests, and preferred settings

 B) DATA SUBJECT

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

 C) PROCESSING

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution, or any other form of disclosure, the alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

D) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing refers to the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

E) PROFILING

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

F) PSEUDONYMIZATION

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 organizational measures that ensure the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

G) Data Controller or Data Processor

The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, 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 determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

H) DATA PROCESSOR

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

I) RECIPIENT

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether or not that entity is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigative mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.

J) THIRD PARTY

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

 K) CONSENT

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, expressed by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, by which the data subject signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE DATA CONTROLLER

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions relating to data protection is:

COOKIES

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via a web browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific web browser in which it was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the data subject’s individual browser from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

The use of cookies allows us to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.

Cookies allow us to optimize the information and content on our website to better serve our users. As mentioned earlier, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials every time they visit the website, as this information is retrieved by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

The data subject may prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of the web browser being used, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the web browser they are using, not all functions of our website may be fully usable under certain circumstances.

COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION

Every time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website, the website collects a range of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

We do not use this general data and information to draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising on it, (3) ensure the ongoing functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. We therefore evaluate this anonymously collected data and information both statistically and with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

REGISTRATION ON OUR WEBSITE

The data subject has the option of registering on the data controller’s website by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller in this process is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer of such data to one or more processors, such as a parcel delivery service, which will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the controller.

When a user registers on the data controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the user’s Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services, and, if necessary, this data enables us to investigate criminal offenses that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data is generally not disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, based on the voluntary provision of personal data, enables the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, by their very nature, can only be made available to registered users. Registered users are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller’s database.

The data controller will, upon request, provide any data subject with information at any time regarding which personal data has been stored about them. Furthermore, the data controller will correct or delete personal data at the request or upon notification by the data subject, provided that no legal retention obligations prevent this. All employees of the data controller are available to the data subject as points of contact in this regard.

Data Protection for Job Applications and During the Application Process

The controller responsible for the processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants in order to handle the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically if an applicant submits their application documents to the controller electronically, e.g., via email or through a web form on the website. If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the data provided will be stored in accordance with legal requirements for the administration of the employment relationship.

If the controller does not enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is communicated, unless the controller has other legitimate interests that prevent this. Such a legitimate interest may include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in a legal proceeding

CONTACT US VIA OUR WEBSITE

In accordance with legal requirements, this website contains information that enables users to quickly contact our company electronically and communicate directly with us, including a general email address. If a data subject contacts the controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data, transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller, is stored for the purpose of processing the request or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties.

COMMENT FUNCTION ON THE WEBSITE'S BLOG

We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on specific blog posts on a blog located on the data controller’s website. A blog is a portal hosted on a website, typically accessible to the public, where one or more individuals—known as bloggers or web bloggers—can post articles or share their thoughts in so-called blog posts. These blog posts can generally be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information regarding the time the comment was posted and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will also be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also logged. This storage of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in the event that the data subject infringes the rights of third parties through a comment submitted or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller’s own interest, so that the controller may, if necessary, exculpate itself in the event of a legal violation. This collected personal data is not disclosed to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the controller’s legal defense.

GRAVATAR

Comments use the Gravatar service provided by Automattic. Gravatar checks your email address and, if you are registered there, displays your avatar image next to your comment. If you are not registered, no image will be displayed. Please note that all registered WordPress users are automatically registered with Gravatar as well. Details about Gravatar: https://de.gravatar.com

HOSTING

The hosting services we use are intended to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, and database services, as well as security and technical maintenance services, which we utilize for the purpose of operating this online service.

In this context, we—or our hosting provider—process customer, prospect, and visitor data, including personal information, contact details, content data, contractual data, usage data, metadata, and communication data, based on our legitimate interest in providing this online service efficiently and securely, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in conjunction with Article 28 of the GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).

ROUTINE DELETION AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA

The data controller processes and stores the data subject’s personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or to the extent provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a retention period prescribed by European directives and regulations or by another competent legislative body expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

A) RIGHT TO CONFIRMATION

Every data subject has the right, granted by European legislation, to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact a representative of the controller at any time.

B) RIGHT TO INFORMATION

Every data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information regarding the personal data stored about them and a copy of such information. Furthermore, European legislation grants the data subject the right to obtain the following information:

• • the purposes of processing
  • the categories of personal data that are processed
  • 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 organizations
  • if possible, the planned period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of a right to have personal data concerning them rectified or erased, or to have processing restricted by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
  • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information regarding the origin of the data
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and—at least in such cases—meaningful information regarding the logic involved, as well as the significance and the intended consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

C) RIGHT TO CORRECTION

Every data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request that incomplete personal data be completed—including by means of a supplementary statement—taking into account the purposes of the processing.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

D) RIGHT TO ERASURE (RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN)

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to request that the controller erase their personal data without delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and provided that the processing is not necessary:

• • The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • 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.
  • The personal data was processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data was collected in connection with the information society services offered, in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If any of the above reasons apply and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of stored personal data, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time. The representative will ensure that the request for deletion is complied with without delay.

If the personal data has been made public and our company, as the controller, is obligated under Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to such personal data, or of copies or replicas of such personal data, from those other controllers, to the extent that the processing is not necessary. The employee will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.

E) RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to request that the controller restrict the processing if any of the following conditions are met:

• • The data subject disputes the accuracy of the personal data for a period of time that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data, and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.

If any of the above conditions are met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of stored personal data, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time. The representative will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

F) RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, as granted by European legislation, to receive the personal data concerning them—which they have provided to a controller—in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have their personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, provided that this is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact us at any time.

G) RIGHT TO OBJECT

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If you object to the processing of your personal data, we will no longer process it unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If we process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for those purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her that is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee directly. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object through automated means using technical specifications.

H) AUTOMATED DECISIONS IN INDIVIDUAL CASES, INCLUDING PROFILING

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects the data subject, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is it made with the data subject’s explicit consent, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms as well as their legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to present their point of view, and to challenge the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights related to automated decision-making, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

I) RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT UNDER DATA PROTECTION LAW

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Article 6(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party—as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital information subsequently had to be disclosed to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.
Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, provided that the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject override such interests. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING PURSUED BY THE CONTROLLER OR A THIRD PARTY

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

PERIOD FOR WHICH PERSONAL DATA IS STORED

The criterion for determining how long personal data is stored is the applicable statutory retention period. Once this period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract.

LEGAL OR CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVISION OF PERSONAL DATA; NECESSITY FOR THE CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT; OBLIGATION OF THE DATA SUBJECT TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA; POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH DATA

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is in some cases required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party).
In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being able to be concluded.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract; whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data; and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

THE SUCCESS OF AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
