General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights towards the responsible person:

1. Right of access

You may request the data controller to confirm whether your personal data is processed by them.

If such processing occurs, you can request the following information from the data controller:

the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

the categories of personal data which are processed;

the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;

the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if concrete information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage duration;

the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the responsible person or a right to object to such processing;

the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;

any available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;

the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, - meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether the personal data concerning you is 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 DSGVO in connection with the transfer.

This right of access may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.

2. Right to rectify

You have a right to rectification and/or completion towards the responsible person, if the processed personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The responsible person shall carry out the rectification without undue delay.

Your right to rectification may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.

3. Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the responsible person to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;

the responsible person no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or

if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the responsible person outweigh your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may be processed, with the exception of their storage, only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense 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 a member state.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the responsible person before the restriction is lifted.

Your right to restrict processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impede the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.

4. Right of deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the responsible person to delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the responsible person is obliged to delete such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.

The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.

The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under union or member state law to which the responsible person is subject.

The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) DSGVO.

b) Information to third parties

If the responsible person has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, he or she shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under union or member state law to which the responsible person is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the responsible person;

for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) DSGVO;

for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in Section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or

for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

5. Right to be informed

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the responsible person, the responsible person is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure 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 person.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the responsible person in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another responsible person without hindrance by the responsible person to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that

the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO and

the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one responsible person to another responsible person, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the responsible person.

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 relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or f DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The responsible person 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 serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) DSGVO.

Your right to object may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the realization of the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfillment of the research or statistical purposes.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract between you and the responsible person,

is permitted by legislation of the union or the member states to which the responsible person is subject and this legislation contains appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

is done with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (b) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in 1. and 3. above, the responsible person shall take reasonable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the responsible person, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in the Member State of your residence, or your place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

Hosting

The website is hosted on servers of a service provider contracted by us.

Our service provider is:

Raidboxes

The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The information stored is:

Browser type and version

Operating system used

Referrer URL

Host name of the accessing computer

Date and time of server request

IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

The location of the website's server is geographically in Germany.

Geotargeting

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular zip code in the context of registration or ordering) for regional targeting (so-called "geotargeting").

Regional targeting is used, for example, to automatically show you regional offers or advertising that are often more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and, if applicable, other information provided by the user (in particular zip code) is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR, based on our interest in ensuring more precise targeting and thus providing offers and advertising with higher relevance for users.

In this context, a part of the IP address as well as the additional information provided by the user (in particular zip code) are only read and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (insofar as the respective browser supports this).

We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:
