The data protection declaration is based on the terminology used by the European directors and regulators when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was adopted. Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms in this data protection declaration:
1. Personal data
Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable person is a natural person who, directly or indirectly, in particular by assigning an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics, expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person can be identified.
2. Affected person
Affected person is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller (our company).
3. Processing
Processing is any process or series of processes carried out with or without the help of automated processes in connection with personal data such as the collection, recording, organization, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, the disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
4. Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
5. Profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data, which consists in the fact that this personal data is used to evaluate or predict certain personal aspects that relate to a natural person, in particular to aspects related to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences or interest, reliability, behavior, location or change of location of this natural person.
6. Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7. Processors
The processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.
8. Receiver
The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.
9. Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who are authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.
10. Consent
Consent is any expression of will voluntarily given by the data subject for the specific case in an informed manner and unequivocally in the form of a declaration or other clear confirmatory act, with which the data subject indicates that you consent to the processing of your personal data is.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR are based. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh them. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, they were of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
- You have given your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR have given express consent to this
- the disclosure according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR is permitted to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
- in the event that for the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR there is a legal obligation, as well
- this is legally permissible and according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR is required for the processing of contractual relationships with you.
