Privacy Policy

Data Processing

Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as your name or email address. "Data processing" refers, in particular, to the collection, storage, use, and transmission of your data.

​

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

​

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

​

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Article 6(1), first sentence, point (d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

​

If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, then Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.​​

​

The personal data of data subjects is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to exist. Storage may continue after the original purpose for storage has lapsed if this is provided for by law. Data is also blocked or deleted upon the expiration of a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations, unless continued storage of the data remains necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract. Further information regarding the legal bases for processing and the retention periods for specific categories of personal data can be found in the respective subsections.

1. Rights of the Data

Subject Rights in Detail If your personal data is being processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the controller (subject, where applicable, to the fulfillment of further conditions stipulated in the relevant provisions):

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR),

Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16, 17 GDPR),

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),

Right to withdraw consent, if you have consented to the processing,

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

Right to Object

Insofar as we process personal data—as explained above—for the purpose of safeguarding our legitimate interests, which are deemed overriding within the scope of a balancing of interests, you have the right to object to such processing with effect for the future; however, this right may be exercised only on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). If the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes, you may exercise this right at any time, even without stating specific grounds. Following a valid exercise of your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for the aforementioned purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. This restriction does not apply if the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes.

Complaints

Should you be of the opinion that we are not respecting your rights to the required extent, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data. However, before doing so, we would appreciate it if you would first inform us of your concerns so that we may resolve the matter ourselves.
