A. General information

(1) Definitions

This data protection notice is based on the following definitions:

-“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A person is identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or information relating to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. Identifiability can also be achieved by linking such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photos, video or audio recordings can also contain personal data).

-“Processing” means any operation which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means (i.e. using technical specifications). This includes, in particular, the collection (i.e. acquisition), recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data, or alteration of the purposes for which they were originally processed.

-A “processor” a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with the controller’s instructions (e.g. IT service provider). In terms of data protection law, a processor is in particular not a third party.

However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

-“Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or

-“Pseudonymization” means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

3) Legal basis for data processing

In principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited by law and is only permitted if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:

–If the data subject has voluntarily, in an informed and unambiguous manner, by means of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, indicated that they consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more specific purposes;

–If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

–If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (e.g. a legal obligation to retain data);

–If processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;

–If the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, or

– If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate (in particular legal or economic) interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or rights of the data subject (in particular where the data subject is a minor). 

For the processing operations we carry out, we indicate the applicable legal basis in each case below. Processing can also be based on several legal bases.

(4) Data erasure and storage duration

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below how long the data is stored by us and when it is deleted or blocked. Unless an explicit storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for storage no longer applies.

However, data may be stored beyond the specified period in the event of an (impending) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by legal regulations to which we as the controller are subject. If the storage period prescribed by the statutory provisions expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.

(5) Data security

We use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. TLS encryption for our website), taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its probability and effects) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

(6) Cooperation with processors

As with any large company, we also use external domestic and foreign service providers to process our business transactions (e.g. for IT, telecommunications, sales and marketing). These service providers only act in accordance with our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with data protection regulations.

If your personal data is passed on by us to our subsidiaries or is passed on to us by our subsidiaries (e.g. for advertising purposes), this is done on the basis of existing order processing relationships.

(7) Requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries

As part of our business relationships, your personal data may be passed on or disclosed to third-party companies. These may also be located in third countries. Such processing takes place exclusively to fulfil contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer at the relevant points below.

Some third countries are certified as having an adequate level of data protection by means of so-called adequacy decisions. However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a uniformly high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. In this case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses for the protection of personal data, certificates or recognized codes of conduct.

(8) No automated decision-making (including profiling)

We do not intend to use personal data collected from you for automated decision-making (including profiling).

(9) No obligation to provide personal data

We do not make the conclusion of contracts with us dependent on you providing us with personal data beforehand. As a customer, you are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data; however, we may only be able to provide certain services to a limited extent or not at all if you do not provide the necessary data. If this should exceptionally be the case in the context of the products presented below and offered by us, you will be informed of this separately.

(10) Legal obligation to transmit certain data

We may be subject to a special legal or statutory obligation to provide the lawfully processed personal data to third parties, in particular public authorities.
