General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website

If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR if special categories of data are processed under Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Note on Data Transfer to Third Countries and the Transfer to US Companies Not DPF-Certified

We use tools from companies based in third countries that do not provide adequate data protection or US-based companies that are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that in third countries without adequate data protection, no comparable level of protection can be guaranteed as in the EU.

We also point out that the US as a third country generally has an adequate level of data protection comparable to the EU. A data transfer to the US is therefore permissible if the recipient has a certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we collaborate with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is required. We only share personal data with external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in sharing the data according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data to external parties based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

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

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, 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 (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING AT ANY TIME; 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 (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In case of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request that the data we process based on your consent or for the performance of a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Deletion

You have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time, free of charge. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding these matters or for further questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your stored personal data, we generally need time to verify it. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your and our interests. As long as it has not been determined whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, those data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
