General information about the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have given your consent to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place based on § 25(1) TTDSG.

The applicable legal bases for each specific case are provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries, among other things. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without the possibility of legal recourse for affected individuals. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (such as intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Revoking your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including any profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) of the GDPR).

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, including profiling related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) of the GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit those data to another controller where technically feasible, provided that the processing is based on your consent or is necessary for the performance of a contract.

Information, rectification, and erasure

You have the right, in accordance with applicable data protection laws, to obtain free-of-charge information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to rectification or erasure of such data. For this purpose and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can always contact us.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of the data and instead request the restriction of their use.
If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of their erasure.
If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance needs to be made between your interests and ours. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have obtained a restriction of the processing of your personal data, except for storage, these data 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 European Union or a Member State.
