Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once those grounds cease to apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is additionally based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course 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 to external parties if this is necessary for performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using processors, we disclose our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

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

Right to object to data collection in specific 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, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned 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 (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

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 to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will thereafter no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

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, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or 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 have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract 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 insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification and deletion

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 data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to personal data.

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 regarding this. The right to restriction of processing applies 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 review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent or 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 of a Member State.
