Privacy Policy

The use of the website is generally possible without the specification of personal data. However, if a user wishes to use special services offered by the website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the affected person.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or phone number of an affected person, will always be done in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the applicable national data protection regulations. This privacy policy informs the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. It also explains the rights of the affected individuals.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, affected individuals are free to transmit personal data to us via alternative methods, such as by phone.

1. Definitions

This privacy policy is based on the terminology used by the European legislative bodies when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted. Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we first explain the terminology used.

In this privacy policy, we use the following terms:

  • a) Personal Data

    Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.

  • b) Data Subject

    A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

  • c) Processing

    Processing refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

  • d) Restriction of Processing

    Restriction of processing refers to marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

  • e) Profiling

    Profiling refers to any form of automated processing of personal data, where such data is used to evaluate certain personal aspects of a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

  • f) Pseudonymization

    Pseudonymization refers to the processing of personal data in such a way that the 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 that ensure the data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable person.

  • g) Controller or Responsible Party

    The controller or responsible party is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the member states, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or national law.

  • h) Processor

    A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i) Recipient

    A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not they are a third party. Authorities that may receive personal data under a specific investigation mandate under Union law or national law are not considered recipients.

  • j) Third Party

    A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

  • k) Consent

    Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they, by a statement or a clear affirmative action, signify their agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

6. Rights of the Data Subject

  • a) Right to Confirmation

    Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • b) Right to Access

    Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of such information. Furthermore, they are entitled to the following information:

    • the purposes of processing
    • the categories of personal data
    • the recipients or categories of recipients
    • the planned storage period or the criteria for determining it
    • the existence of a right to rectification, deletion, or restriction of processing
    • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
    • the source of the data if it was not collected from the data subject
    • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • f) Right to Data Portability

    Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless 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.

    Furthermore, the data subject, when exercising their right to data portability under Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, has the right to request that the personal data be transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible, and provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • g) Right to Object

    Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, for reasons arising from their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 letters e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    We will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

    If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

  • h) Automated Decisions in Individual Cases, Including Profiling

    Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permissible under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and contains appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms as well as their legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the explicit consent of the data subject.

    If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is based on the explicit consent of the data subject, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
