Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transferring data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using data processors, we disclose personal data of our customers only based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is established.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR A PARTICULAR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

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, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their usual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in the performance of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to yourself or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Deletion

You have the right to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to rectification or deletion of this data, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. For this purpose, and for any other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you can request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data—apart from storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, 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 European Union or a member state.
