Security when processing personal data
We use technical and organisational security measures to protect your data managed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorised persons.
Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
Your rights as a data subject
Insofar as your personal data is processed when you visit our website, you as the “data subject” have the following rights within the meaning of the GDPR:
Request Information
You can request information from us as to whether we process your personal data. There is no right to information if the provision of the requested information would violate the obligation of confidentiality according to § 83 StBerG or the information must be kept secret for other reasons, in particular because of an overriding legitimate interest of a third party.
Deviating from this, there may be an obligation to provide information if your interests outweigh the interests of confidentiality, in particular taking into account the threat of damage.
The right to information is also excluded if the data is only stored because it may not be deleted due to statutory or statutory retention periods or is used exclusively for data backup or data protection purposes, provided that the provision of information would require a disproportionate amount of effort and processing for other purposes is excluded by suitable technical and organisational measures.
If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information from us about the following information:
- Purposes of processing.
- Categories of the personal data processed by you.
- Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data will be disclosed, in particular to recipients in third countries.
- If possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage duration.
- The existence of a right to correction or deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data or a right to object to this processing.
- The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection.
- If the personal data have not been collected from you as the data subject, the available information about the origin of the data.
- If necessary, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the scope and intended effects of automated decision-making.
- If necessary, in the case of transmission to recipients in third countries, unless the EU Commission has decided on the appropriateness of the level of protection according to Art. 45 Para. 3 GDPR, information about which suitable guarantees according to Art. 46 Para Protection of personal data are provided.
Correction and completion
If you discover that we have incorrect personal data about you, you can request us to correct this incorrect data immediately. In the case of incomplete personal data concerning you, you can request completion.
Deletion
You have a right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), provided that the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression, the right to information or to fulfill a legal obligation or to perform a task that is in the public interest and one of the following reasons applies:
- The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed.
- The justification for the processing was solely your consent, which you have revoked.
- You have filed an objection to the processing of your personal data that we have made public.
- You have objected to the processing of personal data not made public by us and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing.
- Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
- The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject.
There is no entitlement to deletion if, in the case of lawful, non-automated data processing, deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the special type of storage and your interest in deletion is low. In this case, instead of deletion, processing is restricted.
Restriction of processing
You can request that we restrict processing if one of the following reasons applies:
- You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction can be requested for the duration that enables us to check the accuracy of the data.
- The processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of the use of your personal data instead of deletion.
- We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
- You have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR. The restriction of processing can be requested as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.
- Restriction of processing means that personal data are only 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.
- Before we lift the restriction, we have a duty to notify you about it.
Data portability
You have a right to data portability, provided that the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) or Art. 9 Paragraph 2 Letter a) GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other people:
You can request us to receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format . You have the right to transfer this data to another person responsible without hindrance on our part. As far as technically feasible, you can request that we transmit your personal data directly to another person responsible.
Contradiction
If the processing is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter e) GDPR (performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the person responsible or a third party), you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons that arise from your particular situation.
This also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter e) or Letter f) GDPR. After exercising the right to object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You can object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling that is associated with such direct mail. After exercising this right of objection, we will no longer use the relevant personal data for direct marketing purposes. You have the option of informing us of your objection by telephone, e-mail or to our postal address.
Revocation of Consent
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent can be communicated informally by telephone, e-mail, if necessary by fax or to our postal address. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing, which took place on the basis of the consent until receipt of the revocation. After receipt of the revocation, the data processing, which was based solely on your consent, will be stopped.
Complaint
If you are of the opinion that the processing of the personal data concerning you is unlawful, you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection that is responsible for the place of your residence or work or for the place of the alleged violation.
