The controller under data protection law is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. The controller can be found under I. Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than you, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

III Scope of the processing of our users' data

1. scope of the processing of personal data

We collect and use our users' personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. data deletion and storage duration

Your personal data 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 we are subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted 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 fulfillment of a contract.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

4. right to erasure

a) Obligation to delete

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

(5) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

5. right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

VII. Information about plug-ins and third-party tools

1. general information on data transfer to companies based in the USA

The European Commission has adopted the adequacy decision for the EU-US data protection framework. The decision states that the United States will ensure an adequate level of protection - comparable to that of the European Union - for personal data transferred from the EU to US companies under the new framework. Based on the new adequacy decision, personal data can be transferred securely from the EU to US companies participating in the framework without the need to implement additional data protection safeguards. The EU-US data protection framework introduces new binding safeguards to address all concerns raised by the European Court of Justice, including limiting access by US intelligence services to EU data to a necessary and proportionate level and creating a Data Protection Review Court (DPRC) to which individuals in the EU have access. US companies can join the EU-US data protection framework by agreeing to comply with detailed data protection obligations, including, for example, obligations to delete personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to ensure the continuity of protection when personal data is transferred to third parties. The US Department of Commerce has published a list of US companies that have self-certified to the Department and have committed to comply with the principles of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.
