3.    On which basis do we process your personal data?
The term "personal data" as used in data protection law refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular GDPR. Data processing by us only takes place on a legal basis. We process personal data only with your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or at your request for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) or if the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, prevail (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

4.    What are your rights?
You decide on your data! As a data subject, you have several rights that you can assert against us. You have the following rights under the applicable data protection laws: 

  • In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request information as to whether or not we process personal data relating to you and, if so, to what extent.
  • In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to demand that we rectify your data. • In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to demand that we erase your personal data.
  • In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • In accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to another controller.
  • If you have given us your consent to data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent that took place prior to the withdrawal.
  • If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the provisions of GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

In accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object to processing based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation. If we process personal data about you for the purpose of direct marketing, you can object to this processing in accordance with Art. 21 (2) and (3) GDPR.

If you exercise your rights in accordance with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR, we process the personal data that you have provided, for the purpose of fulfilling these rights and to be able to provide evidence of this. Data stored for the purpose of providing information and the preparation thereof will only be processed for this purpose and for the purposes of data protection control. Otherwise, processing will be restricted in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.

This processing is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR.

5.    Where do we process your data?
We generally process your data on European servers with the highest security standards. In providing our services, we are supported by external service providers to whom we send your data. Some data processing may involve the transfer of certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries in which GDPR is not applicable law. Such a transfer is permitted if the European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection is required in such a third country. This applies to all transfers to countries in this list: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en.

If there is no such adequacy decision by the European Commission, personal data will only be transferred to a third country if there are suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR or if one of the requirements of Art. 49 GDPR is met.

Unless there is an adequacy decision and unless otherwise stated below, we use the EU standard data protection clauses as appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to third countries. You have the option of obtaining or viewing a copy of these EU standard data protection clauses. Please contact the address given above.

If you consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the transfer takes place on the legal basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

6.    To whom and why do we disclose your personal data?
In order to provide our services and operate economically as a company, we use various external companies to which we transfer personal data in some cases. Insofar as other specific recipients receive personal data for some groups of data subjects, we will inform you about this in Part B.
