Security and Protection of your Personal Data

Keeping your personal data confidential and protecting them from unauthorised access is of the utmost importance to us. We are therefore applying both due diligence and technological standards at the highest level to guarantee maximum protection of your personal data.
As a company under German private law we are subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act. As such, we have implemented technical and organisational measures to ensure compliance with all applicable data protection provisions by us and our third-party service providers.

Definitions

Applicable legislation provides for a lawful and fair processing of personal data to make it transparent for every data subject ("lawfulness, fairness and transparency"). In order to comply with this principle, we have listed the legal definitions of terms that you will find in the present privacy statement:

  1. Personal Data
    "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  2. Processing
    "Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
  3. Restriction of Processing
    "Restriction of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
  4. Profiling
    "Profiling" means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
  5. Pseudonymisation
    "Pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  6. Filing System
    "Filing system" means any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis.
  7. Controller
    "Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
  8. Processor
    "Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  9. Recipient
    "Recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
  10. Third Party
    "Third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
  11. Consent
    "Consent" of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

    The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
    1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

    Where processing has been restricted under the conditions referred to above, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject's consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. Please direct any request to exercise your right to restriction of processing to the above-mentioned contact details.
  7. Right to Data Portability

    You shall have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you further have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:

Where you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, your personal data shall not be processed for these particular purposes.

    1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller;
    2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
    3. is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
    The controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision. Please contact us directly if you choose to exercise any of your rights under this paragraph (9).
  10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

  11. Right to an Effective Judicial Remedy

    Without prejudice to any available administrative or non judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy where you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
