General information about data processing
Personal data is generally only transmitted, processed, and stored to the extent necessary for providing a functional website. The processing of personal data only takes place with consent. An exception applies in cases where it is factually impossible to obtain prior consent. In these cases, processing is covered by appropriate regulations in the GDPR.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party and these interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Processing of personal data for other purposes only takes place with express consent. This consent can be revoked at any time.
Storage duration and deletion
The personal data of the affected person will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also occur if this has been provided for by the European or national legislature in union law regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the mentioned regulations expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for a contract conclusion or fulfillment.

You have the right to request information on whether personal data concerning you is being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to revoke your data protection consent at any time. Revoking consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until the revocation.
Right to erasure
You may request the controller to delete your personal data without delay, and the controller is obliged to delete this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:
- The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- You withdraw your consent on which the processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
- for archival purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of this processing, or

Right to information

Right to rectification
You have the right to rectification and/or completion by the controller if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the correction without delay.

- the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion of personal data and instead demand the restriction of the use of personal data;
- the controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but you need them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or
- if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to procure that the personal data concerning you is transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Complaint to the Data Protection Authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged informs the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
