The rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the following rights:
Conditions for consent (Art. 7 Abs 3 DSGVO)
You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.
Right to access (Art. 15 DSGVO)
You have the right to receive information about the personal data stored about you by us as well as a copy of this information.
Right to rectification (Art. 16 DSGVO)
You have the right to have inaccurate and/or incomplete personal data concerning you rectified and/or completed.
Right to erasure (Art. 17 DSGVO)
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data from our systems.
However, your data can not be deleted, if:
- the data is required for an ongoing contract,
- legal retention periods or conflicting interests prevent the deletion. In this case,
- processing may be blocked for other purposes.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DSGVO)
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your data if one of the following conditions is met:
- You have disputed the accuracy of the personal data. Restriction may be requested for the period during which your claim is verified.
- Processing of your data is not necessary, but you prefer and request the restriction of use of your personal data rather than its deletion.
- We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but require it for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
- You have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 para. 1 DSGVO and your objection is still being reviewed by us.
Right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO)
You have the right to receive your own personal data, which you provided to us, in a structured, common, machine-readable form or, if necessary, to have this data transferred to third parties.
You have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and processing is carried out with automated procedures, unless processing is necessary for tasks carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, you also have the right to have your personal data transferred directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible, and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.
Right to object (Art 21. DSGVO)
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 lit. e or f DSGVO.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal, unless:
- We can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms.
- The processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of advertising.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 DSGVO)
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority at any time.
Information about data processing
Purpose and extent of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we store personal data only insofar as this is necessary for providing our services and related activities.
The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Article 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis for obtaining the consent from the data subject to process personal data.
For necessary processing of personal data as part of the fulfillment of a contract, as well as for pre-contractual measures to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
Where processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of legal obligations to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the protection of the legitimate interest of us or a third party for processing personal data outweighs the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
For transfer of personal data to communication service providers, collection agencies, legal representatives or the competent court, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
For the temporary storage of data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
Storage duration and automatic deletion
Personal data will be deleted or anonymized by us o as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies.
Where data processing serves the fulfillment of a contract, this is generally the case when the contract has been concluded and all contractual obligations have been mutually fulfilled.
There may still be a need to store personal data in order to comply with legal regulations and obligations. Likewise, storage beyond this is possible if there is a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Data that is required to fulfill obligations under corporate and tax law in connection with the contract will be deleted or anonymized at the end of the seventh calendar year after the end of the contractual relationship, unless there are further legal obligations that require longer storage.
Backup copies in backup systems are also deleted.
Data will also be anonymized or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data due to a current contract, outstanding claims or legal obligations.
Right to object, cancellation and revocation
You may declare an objection to the evaluation of your personal data or a request deletion of said data at any time by e-mail to us.
However, if data processing is required as part of fulfilling an ongoing contract or in the context of pre-contractual measures and for the provision of our services, data deletion is not possible and may be denied. The Right to object subsequently does not apply in this case.
Further notes on data processing
Server data
To ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space/hosting provider by your Internet browser when you use our website and services. This transmission includes the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our site (referrer URL), which page(s) of our website you visit, the date and time of access and the IP address of the Internet connection that accesses our website.
Data collected in this way is temporarily stored in log files but is not connected to any other data about you.
The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the stability, security and function of our website and services.
All data collected in this manner is automatically deleted by us or by the web space / hosting provider if no further storage is required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR unless it is necessary to analyze and resolve an incident or technical issue. In this case the data may be exempt from deletion in whole or in part until the work has been completed.
Note on data protection outside the EU, especially the USA
In some cases, it may be necessary to work with companies based outside the EU when providing our services. This may result in the transfer of information and data outside the EU.
To facilitate transfer of personal data between the EU and USA, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework has been formalized
Adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework | European Commission (europa.eu)
US companies to which personal data is transferred must complete a self-certification and commit to comply with the principles and requirements of the agreement, such as purpose limitation, data and retention period minimization and data security standards and precautions for disclosure to third parties. As part of this certification, these US companies must be registered in the Data Privacy Framework List ( https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search) at the US Department of Commerce.
US companies certified in this way fulfill the requirements of the EU data protection directives and can subsequently be treated according to the same standards as EU based companies.
In addition, US based companies still have the option of using so-called Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to complement the agreements.
For companies based in countries that have not formalized data privacy agreements with the EU, Standard Contractual Clauses are the only option to ensure data privacy.
Standard Contractual Clauses are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data is handled in compliance with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries and stored there. Through these clauses, companies commit to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed outside the EU.
The EU decision on the standard contractual clauses can be found here
EUR-Lex – 32021D0914 – DE – EUR-Lex (europa.eu)
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/
Note: Standard contractual clauses are agreements under private law and therefore have no direct impact on potential data access of legal authorities outside the EU.
To ensure data privacy we therefore rely on partners from the EU and certified US companies wherever possible.
