Security and protection of your personal data
We consider it our primary responsibility to protect the confidentiality of the personal information you provide and to protect it from unauthorised access. That's why we act with the utmost care and highest security standards to ensure the maximum protection of your personal information.

We are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are respected both by us and by our external service providers.

Definitions
Legislation requires that personal data be processed lawfully, in good faith and in a manner that is reasonable for the data subject (“legality, processing in good faith, transparency”). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this privacy statement:

Personal data
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter the “data subject”); a natural person is regarded as identifiable, and can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular, it can be identified by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more particular features that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of this natural person.

Processing

Restriction of processing
“Restriction of processing” is the marking of personal data stored with the aim of limiting its future processing.

Pseudonymisation
“Pseudonymisation” means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without additional information being provided, as long as such additional information is kept separate and subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

File system
“File system” means any structured collection of personal data accessible by specific criteria, whether that collection is centralised, decentralised or organised according to functional or geographical considerations.

Controller

However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union law or the law of the Member States under a particular investigation mandate shall not be considered recipients; the processing of such data by the said authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

third party
"third party" means a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body, other than the data subject, the data controller, the data processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the data responsible or the data processor.

(5) Right to cancellation ("Right to be forgotten")
You have the right to request the data controller to delete personal data relating to you without delay and we are obliged to delete personal data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

a) The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

b) The data subject withdraws his/her consent on which processing was based in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) DSBER and there is no other legal basis for processing.

The right to cancellation ("right to be forgotten") does not exist if the processing is necessary:

• to exercise freedom of expression and information;

• to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

(6) Right to limitation of processing
You have the right to request us to restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:

the accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject for a period which enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses to delete the personal data and instead requests a restriction on the use of the personal data;
the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, orthe data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, or
the data subject has lodged an objection to the processing referred to in Article 21(1) DSGVO until it has been established whether the data subject's justified grounds outweigh those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data shall only be processed - apart from being stored - with the consent of the data subject or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

In order to exercise the right to restrict processing, the data subject may contact us at any time at the above contact details.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, current and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit this data to another responsible person without interference by the responsible person to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that:

processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) DSBER, and

processing is carried out using automated methods.

When exercising the right to data transferability under paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, where this is technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data transferability does not affect the right to deletion ("right to be forgotten"). This right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority entrusted to the controller.

(8) Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you under Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the DSBER for reasons arising from your particular situation.

If 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 the purpose of such advertising. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the right to object on grounds arising from your particular situation to the processing of personal data concerning you, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1), unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.

You can exercise your right of objection at any time by contacting the person responsible.

They shall also, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their place of residence, of work or of the place of suspected infringement, where the data subject considers that the processing of personal data concerning him or her is contrary to this Regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy
Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right of appeal to a supervisory authority under Article 77 DSGVO, they shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy if they consider that their rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of processing of their personal data in breach of this Regulation.
