III. General Information on Data Processing
1. Scope of processing personal data
We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users usually only occurs with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
As far as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfillment 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 that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
As far as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Is the processing necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and do the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject not outweigh the aforementioned interest, then Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the affected person will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Storage may also occur if this is provided for by European or national legislators in union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject. A blocking or deletion of the data will also take place when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or the fulfillment of a contract.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data is being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
2. Right to Correction
You have the right to rectification and/or completion against the controller, provided that the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without delay.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been limited according to the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to Deletion
a) Obligation to delete
You can request the data controller to delete your personal data immediately, and the data controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary
(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(5) for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
5. Right to Information
Have you asserted your right to rectification, deletion, or restriction of processing against the controller, they are obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the responsible party.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that 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
(1) the processing is based on consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain the direct transfer of your personal data from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
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.
7. Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller no longer processes the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing for the purposes of direct advertising, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

8. Right to withdraw the data protection consent declaration
You have the right to revoke your data protection consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
9. Automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal effects on you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is permissible under Union or Member State legal provisions to which the controller is subject, and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests or
(3) occurs with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
In relation to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller takes appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which at a minimum includes the right to request intervention by a person on the part of the controller, to present your own position, and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Unaffected by any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of your residence, your workplace, or the location of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been filed informs the complainant about the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
