III. General information on data processing
1. What is personal data?
Personal data refers to individual details about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your legal name, address, telephone number, or date of birth. Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our site, this is always done on a voluntary basis, where possible.
2. Scope of processing personal data
We generally process our users' personal data only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data regularly only occurs with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Where we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. Where processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that processing personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
4. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
5. SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
6. Web hoster
This website is hosted by a German web hosting provider, DomainFactory GmbH. The web hosting provider is also obligated to comply with the GDPR and all other applicable data protection laws and regulations in the EU member states. The operator of this website has also concluded a data processing agreement with the web hosting provider. This agreement obligates the web hosting provider to protect the transmitted data, to process it in accordance with data protection regulations on behalf of the operator of this website, and, in particular, not to disclose it to third parties. Further information on data processing by the web hosting provider can be found at: https://www.df.eu/de/support/df-faq/service-infos/datensicherheit/

2. Right to rectification
You have the right to rectification and/or completion from the data controller if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The data controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
3. Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:
- if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
- the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
- if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data – apart from being stored – 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 natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been imposed under the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to delete
You can request that the controller erase your personal data without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
- The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
- You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
- You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
- Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
- The erasure of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

b) Information to third parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary
- to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
- for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in point (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
- for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
5. Right to information
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obligated to communicate this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, you 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 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
- The processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller will no longer process your personal data unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
- is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
- is permitted under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or
- This is done with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data as defined in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been taken. In the cases referred to in paragraphs (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
