Privacy policy

With this data protection declaration we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of processing personal data on our website. Personal data are all data that have a personal reference to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail address or user behaviour.

Processing of your data within the scope of the core activity of our company

We process your personal data transferred to us within the scope of the contractual and pre-contractual relations existing between us. The scope, type, purpose and necessity of the processing is determined by the contractual relationship on which it is based. For this purpose, we store and process your data in the computer systems used by us. The data processed by us includes all those data which have been provided by you for the purpose of using the contractual or pre-contractual services and which are required to process your enquiry or the contract concluded between us.

This may include the following data in particular:

• Name and address
• E-mail address and telephone number
• Contract data
• Payment details.

The processing is limited to those data which are necessary and expedient for answering inquiries and/or for fulfilling a contract concluded between you and us. Personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of providing the service or, within the framework of the organisation of our company, for processing financial accounting and complying with legal obligations. In this case, only those data will be transferred to external service providers that are necessary and expedient for the fulfilment of the contract or for the processing of financial accounting as well as the compliance with legal obligations. The processing by us is carried out in accordance with your instructions or the statutory provisions. Legal basis: The processing of your personal data as well as the transfer to third parties is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO and serves to fulfil the contract between you and us. Otherwise, we only pass on data to third parties if there is a legal obligation to do so, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO or if there is a legitimate interest in doing so, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. This is the case, for example, if this is necessary to pursue our claims. Deletion: Your data will be deleted as soon as the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or statutory duties of care and for dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations. This does not affect the statutory storage obligations.

Your rights according to DSGVO

According to the DSGVO, you are entitled to the following rights, which you can assert at any time with the person responsible named in section 1 of this data protection declaration:

• Right of access to information: In accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO, you can request confirmation as to whether and what personal data we process from you. In addition, you may request from us, free of charge, information on the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right of correction, deletion, restriction of processing or opposition, the existence of a right of appeal, and the origin of your data, if it has not been collected by us. Furthermore, you have the right of information as to whether your personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, you have the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer.
• Right of rectification: In accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO, you can request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us and concerning you.
• Right of deletion: In accordance with Art. 17 DSGVO, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data stored with us, provided that we do not require their processing for the following purposes:
  • to fulfil a legal obligation,
  • to assert, exercise or defend legal claims,
  • to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, or
  • for reasons of public interest as referred to in Art. 17 para. 3 lit. c and d DSGVO.
• Right to limitation: Pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted if
  • the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
  • the processing of your data is unlawful, but you refuse to have it deleted and instead demand that the use of the data be restricted,
  • we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need the data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims
  • you have lodged an objection to the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO, but it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons which, despite your objection, entitle us to further processing outweigh your rights.
• Right to information: If you have asserted the right to correction, deletion or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of the correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed by us about these recipients.
• Right to data transferability: In accordance with Art. 20 DSGVO, you can request that we receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided us with in a structured, common and machine-readable format or request that it be transferred to another person responsible.
• Right of appeal: Under Art. 77 DSGVO, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. To do so, you can contact the supervisory authority at your usual place of residence, your place of work or our head office.

Right of withdrawal

According to Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO you have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of your data at any time. The revocation declared by you does not change the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data up to the revocation.

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you on the basis of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). This is particularly the case if the data processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract. If you make use of your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that compelling reasons for data processing worthy of protection outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes.

Please send your objection to the above mentioned contact address of the responsible person.

Security measures

We also take technical and organizational security measures in accordance with the state of the art in order to comply with the provisions of the data protection laws and to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties.
