2. General information on data processing

2.1. Scope of processing personal data
We only collect and use the personal data of our users to the extent necessary to process our contracts. Once the contractual obligations have been fulfilled, we will only process data with your consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons or where processing of the data is permitted by law.

2.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, point (a) of Art. 6(1) GPDR serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, point (b) of Art. 6(1) GPDR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, point (c) of Art. 6(1) GPDR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, point (f) of Art. 6(1) GPDR serves as the legal basis for processing.

2.3. Data erasure and storage time
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or made unavailable as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. In addition, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be made unavailable or erased if the storage period prescribed by the above standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

3.5. Possibility of objection and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

If your personal data are processed, you are the data subject within the meaning of GPDR and you have the following rights against the controller:

7.1. Right to information
You can ask the controller to confirm whether personal data concerning you are processed by us.

If such processing does take place, you can request the following information from the controller:

  • the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  • the categories of personal data processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or are still being disclosed;
  • the planned duration of the storage of personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
  • the existence of a right to have the personal data concerning you rectified or deleted, a right to restrict processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing; the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  • any available information on the origin of the data if the personal data were not collected from the data subject;
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling referred to in Art. 22(1) and (4) GPDR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may ask to be informed of the appropriate guarantees under Art. 46 GPDR in connection with the transmission.

7.2. Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion by the controller if the processed personal data concerning you are incorrect or incomplete. The controller shall make the correction without delay.

7.3. Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you may request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted:

  • 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;
  • if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  • if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  • if you objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GPDR and it has not yet been verified whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data, with the exception of storage, may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 processing restriction according to the above conditions has been limited, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

7.4. Right to erasure
7.4.1. Erasure obligation
You may obtain from the controller the erasure of the personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

  • The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
  • You withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Art. 6(1) or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GPDR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GPDR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing under Art. 21(2) GPDR.
  • The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GPDR.

7.4.2. Information to third parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GPDR to erase such personal data, they shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, 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 by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

7.4.3. Exemptions
The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or member state law to which the party responsible 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 party responsible;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Art. 9(2) as well as Art. 9(3) GPDR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89(1) GPDR, in so far as the right referred to in section 7.4.1. is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

7.5. Right of information
If you have exercised your right to have the controller correct, erase or restrict processing, they are required to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this correction or erasure of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of such recipients by the controller.

7.6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit those data on to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:

  • processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Art. 6(1) GPDR or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GPDR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Art. 6(1) GPDR; and
  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

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.

7.7. 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) GPDR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the possibility to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

7.8. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7.9. Automated individual decision-making, 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:

  • 1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;
  • 2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  • 3. with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) GPDR, unless point (a) or (g) of Art. 9(2).GPDR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, 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.

7.10. 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, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GPDR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GPDR.
