4. Definitions
This Privacy Policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy should be easy to read and comprehensible for the general public as well as for our clients and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
Among others, we use the following terms in this Privacy Policy:
1. Personal Data
Personal data is any type of information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable when he can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier, such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
2. Data Subject
Data Subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the Data Controller (our company).
3. Processing
Processing refers to any operation or set of operations which are performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as the collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or submitted otherwise, the alignment or combination, restriction, deletion, or destruction.
4. Restriction on processing
Restriction on processing involves flagging stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
5. Profiling
Profiling refers to any type of automated personal data processing which consists of using said personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to said natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.
6. Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization refers to the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific Data Subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7. Data Processor
Data Processor refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the Data Controller
8. Recipient
Recipient refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data under a specific mandate to investigate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.
9. Third Party
Third Party refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the Data Subject, Controller, Data Processor, and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the Controller or Data Processor.
10. Consent
Consent refers to any freely given and unambiguous expression of will in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative action on the part of the Data Subject for the specific case in question, by which the Data Subject indicates that they consent to the personal data which concerns them being processed.
5. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 (I) (a) GDPR (in conjunction with § 25 (1) German Teleservices Data Protection Act - TTDS) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If personal data needs to be processed to fulfil a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for delivering goods or providing any other service or consideration, processing takes placed based on Art. (6) (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations required for fulfilling pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries concerning our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires personal data to be processed, such as for fulfilling tax obligations, processing takes place based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
In rare cases, processing personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the Data Subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information needed to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then take place based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could also take place based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is required to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the Data Subject do not prevail. We are permitted to perform such processing operations in particular because the European legislator has specifically mentioned them. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 (2) GDPR).
Our offering is generally directed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not submit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request, collect, or disclose to third parties any personal data from children and young people.

You also have the right to transfer this data to another Data Controller without being hindered by us to whom the personal data was submitted, as far as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, as far as processing personal data is required to perform a task that is in the public interest or in exercising an official power which has been delegated to us.
Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, you have the right to effect that the personal data is transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, as far as this is technically feasible and it does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
13.7 Objection (Art. 21 GDPR)
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time and with future effect to personal data that concerns you being processed which takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) (data processing in the public interest) or (f) (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests) GDPR.
This also applies to profiling based on these provisions as defined in Art. 4 (4) GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can establish compelling legitimate grounds for its processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if its processing serves for purposes of asserting, exercising, or defending against legal claims.
In individual cases, we process personal data to perform direct advertising. You can object to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling as far as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to us processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
You also have the right, on grounds relating to you particular situation, to object to us processing personal data that concerns you for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for performing a task carried out in the pursuit of public interest.
In the context of the use of information society services, and regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, the option is open to you to exercise your right to object using automated procedures for which technical specifications are used.
13.8 Withdrawal of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke the consent you have granted to process personal data with effect for future.
13.9 Appeal to a supervisory authority
You have the right to appeal to a competent supervisory authority about us processing your personal data.
14. Routine storage, deletion and blocking of personal data
We only process and store your personal data for the period required to achieve the purpose of storage or if this is provided for by the legal provisions to which our company is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a prescribed storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
15. Storage duration for personal data
The criterion for the storage duration for personal data is the respective statutory retention period. The corresponding data is routinely deleted once the period has expired, if it is no longer required to fulfil or initiate a contract.
