Controller

responsible for the processing of personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

 

Data protection officer

  

What is this policy about?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency with respect to the processing of personal data. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, data such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address as well as information about user behaviour when visiting a website. If there is information for which we cannot establish a link to you personally (or we can only do so with disproportionate effort), e.g. as a result of anonymisation, it is not deemed to be personal data. Processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data is erased as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for the data to be retained further. We provide you with information you about specific retention periods and criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Who receives my data?

We only share your personal data that we process on our website with third parties if this is necessary to fulfil the purposes and it is covered by a legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or pursuit of legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the purpose of establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then include, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers to operate our website and they process personal data on our behalf within the framework of commissioned data processing pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, such providers may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more information on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.
