Security and protection of your personal data

We consider it our primary task to safeguard the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it against unauthorised access. We therefore apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a company under private law, we are subject to the provisions of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our external service providers.



Definitions of terms

The legislator requires that personal data be processed in a lawful manner, in good faith and in a manner that is comprehensible to the person concerned (“lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency”). To ensure this, we shall inform you about the individual legal definitions, which are also used in this data protection declaration:

Personal data
“Personal data” refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “affected person”); an identifiable natural person is one who 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.

Processing
“Processing” refers to any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, with or without automated processes, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or other forms of transfer, comparison or linking, limitation, deletion or destruction.

Limitation of processing
“Limitation of processing” refers to marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

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

Pseudonymisation
“Pseudonymisation” refers to personal data processing in such a manner that 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

File system
“File system” refers to any structured set of personal data which is accessible according to specific criteria, whether this collection is arranged on a centralised, decentralised or functional or geographical basis.

Data controller
“Data controller” refers to the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of personal data processing; if the purposes and means of such processing are determined by European Union (EU) or member state laws, the data controller or the specific criteria for their nomination may be provided for by European Union or member state laws.

Order processor
“Order processor” refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.

Recipient
“Recipient” refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body that the personal data are disclosed to, whether this represents a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with European Union or member state laws shall not be regarded as recipients; processing those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules in accordance with the purposes for processing.

Third party
“Third party” refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, data controller, order processor and persons who are authorised to process personal data under the direct authority of the data controller or order processor.

Consent
A data subject's “consent” refers to any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative act, signifies agreement to personal data processing relating to him or her.



Legality of processing

Personal data processing is only lawful if there is a legal basis for processing. According to Article 6 Para. 1, the legal basis for processing is provided by items a – f GDPR, in particular:

  1. The data subject has given consent to processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. Processing is necessary for fulfilment of a contract that the data subject is a party of or for implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject;
  3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that the controller is subject to;
  4. Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  5. Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the order processor;
  6. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the order processor or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require protection of personal data, especially if the data subject is a child.

You have the right to have the data controller delete personal data concerning you immediately, and we shall be obligated to delete personal data immediately in case one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data are no longer required in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. The data subject withdraws consent that processing is based on according to Article 6 Para. 1 a or Article 9 Para. 2 a GDPR, and in case there is no other legal ground for the processing.

In order to exercise the right to limitation of processing, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.

  1. The processing is based on consent according to Article 6 Para. 1 a or Article 9 Para. 2 a or on a contract according to of Article 6 Para. 1 b GDPR, and
  2. Processing is carried out by automated means.

By exercising your right to data portability according to Paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one data controller to another, provided this is technically feasible. Exercising the right to data portability does not affect the right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”). This right shall not apply to processing that is necessary to complete performance of a task carried out in the public interest or to exercise official authority that has been vested in the controller.

If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you shall have the right to object at any time to personal data processing affecting you for this marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to direct marketing activities. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, then personal data shall no longer be processed for these purposes.

Within the context of use of information provider services, and notwithstandingDirective 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

If personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes according toArticle 89Para. 1, you have the right based on grounds relating to your particular situation to object to personal data processing concerning you, unless processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is completed for reasons in the public interest.

You can exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the relevant data controller.

(9) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to any decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which results in legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision:

  1. Is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller,
  2. Is authorised by European Union or member state laws that the data controller is subject to and which also specify suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
  3. Is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

The data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, and at minimum the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the data controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the data controller involved.

(10) Right to appeal to a supervisory authority

Without impairment to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence, place of work, or at the location of the suspected violation, provided the data subject believes personal data processing concerning him or her violates this regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without impairment to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right of appeal to a supervisory authority according to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if your legal aid considers that the rights conferred on it by this regulation have been violated as a result of personal data processing in breach of this regulation.
