3. What is personal data?

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address or IP address. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a link to your person, e.g. by anonymising the information, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis such as your consent.

The privacy of our Website visitors is important to us, so we do not track any individual people and don’t use Cookies on our Website. Therefore we don’t have implemented a Cookie Banner, because there is no need for that.

For further information, visit the privacy policy of Plausible Analytics: https://plausible.io/privacy.

7. Plugins

a) Scope and purpose of data processing

Our presence on social networks and platforms serves to improve active communication with our customers and interested parties. Therefore, a social plugin of the social network "LinkedIn" (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) is integrated on our Website. Based on the data transmitted to the respective service via the social plugin, the service may be able to assign you to your account with it.

The social plugin is integrated in such a way that no data is transferred directly to LinkedIn. Data is only transferred when you click on the button. By doing so, you leave our Website and establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook servers. Information on the data that is subsequently collected by LinkedIn can be found here:

https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

b) Legal basis

The legal basis for this processing of your personal data is your consent (by clicking on the button) according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

8. Recipients of personal data

Within our company, only those persons have access to your personal data who need it for the purposes stated in each case. Your personal data will only be passed on to external recipients if we are legally authorized to do so or if we have your consent. Below you will find an overview of the relevant recipients:

Processors: Group companies or external service providers, for example in the areas of technical infrastructure and processing, maintenance and payment processing, which are carefully selected and checked. The processors may only use the data in accordance with our instructions.
Public authorities: Authorities and state institutions, such as tax authorities, public prosecutors or courts, to which we (have to) transfer personal data, e.g. to fulfil legal obligations or to protect legitimate interests

9. International data transfer

We process your data mainly within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, some of our service providers may be based outside the EEA in so-called "third countries". The General Data Protection Regulation places high demands on the transfer of personal data to third countries. All our data recipients must fulfil these requirements. Before we transfer your data to a service provider in a third country, each service provider is first checked for its level of data protection. A service provider is only selected if it can demonstrate an adequate level of data protection outside the EEA. Regardless of whether our service providers are based within the EEA or in third countries, each service provider must conclude an order processing agreement with us. Service providers outside the EEA must fulfil additional requirements. In accordance with Art. 44 ff. GDPR, personal data may be transferred to service providers who fulfil at least one of the following requirements:

The European Commission has decided that the third country guarantees an adequate level of protection (e.g. Israel and Canada).
Standard contractual clauses have been included in our contract with the data recipient (including any additional measures if necessary).
Further appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR provided (e.g. Binding Corporate Rules).
In special exceptional cases in accordance with Art. 49 GDPR

10. Data security and security measures

We undertake to treat your personal data confidentially. In order to prevent manipulation, loss or misuse of your data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.

However, we would like to point out that due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data - e.g. when sent by e-mail - may be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is your responsibility as a user to protect the data you provide against misuse by means of encryption or in any other way.

11. Storage of the data

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

12. Data subject rights

You have the following legal rights vis-à-vis us with regard to your personal data:

Right of access

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. If this is the case, you have the right to information about this personal data and to further information, e.g. the processing purposes, the recipients and the planned duration of storage or the criteria for determining the duration.

Right to rectification

You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete data.

Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to erasure if the processing is not necessary. This is the case, for example, if your data is no longer required for the original purposes, if you have revoked your declaration of consent under data protection law or if the data has been processed unlawfully.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to restrict processing, e.g. if you believe that the personal data is incorrect.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of certain personal data concerning you. In the case of direct advertising, you as the data subject have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

Right to withdraw your consent under data protection law

You can revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. However, this does not affect the legality of the processing carried out up to the point of revocation.

Without prejudice to these rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection regulations.
