Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of an explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. The data processing can also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The following paragraphs of this data protection declaration provide information on the legal bases relevant in each individual case.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, this also requires the transmission of personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis allows the data to be passed on. When using contract processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an existing consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which data processing is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will stop processing your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for data processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or data processing is done for the purpose of enforcing, pursuing or defending legal claims (Objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, those affected have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the scope of the valid legal regulations, you have the right to obtain information on your stored personal data, their origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing at any time for free. If necessary, you also have a right of correction or deletion of your stored personal data. For these purposes, as well as for further questions on personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that the data processing be restricted instead of deleted.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.
  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

For security reasons, and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as a site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection is indicated by the browser’s address bar switching from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon in your browser bar.

Gravatar

We have integrated Gravatar on this website. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, United States (hereinafter Gravatar).

Gravatar is a tool that makes it possible to provide personal images (avatars) to the users of our website. The avatars serve as visual representations of the users and are displayed wherever a user interacts with the platform (e.g. in forums or chats). When a user interacts with the platform, their avatar is displayed based on the selection linked to their email address. This gives users’ online presence a personal touch and makes identification easier, as the selected image is associated with users when they are active online.

If you comment or interact on our website and Gravatar is activated, the hash of the email address of the user who uses Gravatar (is used as an ID) is processed by Gravatar.

The use of Gravatar takes place exclusively after consent has been given on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.

5. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Privacy Enhanced Mode

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The website is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit a page on this website that has YouTube embedded and activate the video, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in Privacy Enhanced Mode. According to YouTube, videos that are played in Privacy Enhanced Mode are not used to personalize surfing on YouTube. Ads that are played in Privacy Enhanced Mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in Privacy Enhanced Mode. Instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which, like cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition. Details on the Privacy Enhanced Mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

YouTube is only used after consent has been given by manually activating the video. Therefore, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can find more information about data protection at YouTube in the YouTube Privacy Policy.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service allows us to integrate maps into our website.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google can use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniformly displaying fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and to make the locations we specify on the website easy to find. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the United States is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here:

OpenStreetMap

We use the map service from OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We integrate the map material from OpenStreetMap on the server of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom.

This means that the United Kingdom has a level of data protection that corresponds to the level of data protection in the European Union. When using the OpenStreetMap maps, a connection is established to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. In doing so, among other things your IP address and other information about your behavior on this website may be forwarded to the OpenStreetMap Foundation. OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use comparable recognition technologies for this purpose.
