We attach great importance to protecting your privacy while processing personal data, and take it into account in our business processes. We process personal data collected during visits to our websites in accordance with the applicable data protection and data security laws.

Since changes in the law or changes in our internal processes may require this privacy policy to be adjusted, we ask you to kindly read this privacy policy regularly.

3. WHAT ARE PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data are individual details about personal or factual situations of a specific or identifiable natural person (data subject). This includes information such as your name, address, phone number, date of birth, or e-mail address. Information with which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by making the information anonymous, is not personal data.

4. GENERAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING

a) SCOPE

We only collect and use our users’ personal data if and to the extent needed to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. We use your personal data to provide the services you need, to answer your questions and to operate and improve our websites and applications.

Your personal data is not used for any other purpose, especially not for advertising purposes. Your personal data shall not be transferred to third parties without your consent, except in the cases described below, unless we are legally obliged to provide the data.

b) Legal basis

If we obtain the consent of the data subject to his/her process personal data, Art. 6, Section 1a, of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis for processing said data. Art. 6, Section 1b, of the GDPR serves as legal basis for processing the personal data required to execute a contract to which the data subject is a party. Article 6, Section 1c, of the GDPR serves as legal basis for processing the personal data required to fulfil a legal obligation of our company.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6, Section 1f, of the GDPR shall serve as legal basis for processing.

c) Data erasure and storage time

Your personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. However, the data may be stored if provided for by European or national laws or other statutory provisions to which the controller is subject. The data shall be blocked or erased at the end of a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards, unless the data needs to be stored further in order to conclude or implement a contract.

5. INDIVIDUAL PROCESSING OPERATIONS

You can use a large part of our website without providing your personal data. Access data without personal reference, such as the name of your Internet service provider, the page from which you are visiting us, the names of the files required and their retrieval date are stored.

The legal basis for processing the data transmitted alongside an e-mail is Art. 6, Section 1a, of the GDPR.

6. USING COOKIES

We use cookies which are sent by our web server to your browser during your visit to our website and are stored on your computer for later retrieval. These cookies contain a characteristic character string that enables clear identification of the browser when the website is called up again.

When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analytical purposes and his or her consent to the processing of personal data used in this connection is obtained. In this context, reference is also made to this privacy statement.

7. PLUG-INS AND TOOLS

Facebook plugins (Like & share button)

Our pages may include plug-ins from the social network Facebook. Provider: Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. You can recognise the Facebook plug-ins through the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our page. An overview of the Facebook plug-ins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ .

When you visit our pages, the plug-in creates a direct link between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address.

8. SECURITY MEASURES TO PROTECT THE DATA STORED WITH US

We undertake to protect your privacy and to treat your personal data confidentially. To prevent the loss or misuse of data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organisational safety precautions which are regularly checked and adapted to technological progress.
However, we would like to point out that due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the data protection rules and the above-mentioned safety measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our field of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data transmitted by e-mail, for instance, can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data provided by him/her against misuse through encryption or in any other way.

9. HYPERLINKS TO EXTERNAL WEBSITES

Our website contains so-called hyperlinks to other providers’ websites. When these hyperlinks are activated, you are redirected from our website directly to other providers’ websites. You can recognise this, for example, by the change of URL. We cannot assume any responsibility for the confidentiality of your data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence on these companies’ compliance with data privacy policies. You can find out how these companies handle your personal data directly on these websites.

(3) if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you do need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or (4) if you have filed an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21, Section 1, of the GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed – apart from being stored – with your consent 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 a Member State.

If the processing restriction has been limited on the above conditions, we shall inform you before the restriction is lifted.

If we have made your personal data public and are obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17, Section 1, of the GDPR, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, considering the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform the processors of the personal data for which you as the data subject have asked for the deletion of all links thereto or of copies or replications thereof.

c) Exceptions

The right to deletion does excluded if and to the extent as the processing is required

(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9, Sections 2h and i, and Art. 9, Section 3, of the GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89, Section 1, of the GDPR, insofar as the law referred to under a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or
(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have asked us to correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, we must inform all recipients of your personal data about this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or entails a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed of such recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data you have made available to the controller in a structured, accessible and machine-readable format. Moreover, you have the right transmit this data on to another controller, provided that

(1) processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6, Section 1a, of the GDPR or Art. 9, Section 2a, of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6, Section 1b, of the GDPR, and
(2) processing is carried out automatically.

While exercising this right, you also have the right to request that your personal data be transferred directly from us to another controller, so far as this is technically feasible.

Other persons’ freedoms and rights must not be affected by this.

The right to portability shall not apply to the processing of personal data needed to perform a task in the public interest or to exercise official authority conferred on the controller.

7. Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on the grounds of your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We shall no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove protection-worthy compelling reasons for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is used to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of the services of an information company by means of automated procedures based on technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

8. Right to revoke the data protection consent

You have the right to revoke your data protection consent at any time.

The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

9. Right to appeal to a supervisory authority
