Privacy Policy

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our site, this is always done on a voluntary basis, where possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

‍

  1. General information on data processing
  2. Scope of processing personal data

We generally process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data regularly only occurs with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is required by law.

  1. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

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

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

  1. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

‍

  1. Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is being processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights against the controller :

  1. Right of access
    You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed. Where that is the case, you have the right to obtain from the controller the following information: You have the right to obtain information as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.

    This right of access may be restricted insofar as 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 those purposes. You have the right to obtain from the controller the following information:

    1. the purposes for which the personal data are being processed;
  2. the categories of personal data that are processed
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your
    personal data have been or will be disclosed ;
  4. the planned duration of the storage of your personal data or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period; 
  5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a
    right to object to such processing;
  6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  7. all available information about the source of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1)
    and (4) GDPR, and at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
  9. Right to rectification
    You have the right to rectification and/or completion from the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.

    Your right to rectification may be restricted insofar as 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 those purposes.
  10. Right to restriction of processing
    Under the following conditions you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:
  1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  4. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed 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 of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been imposed under the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted. Your right to restriction of processing may be limited insofar as 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 those purposes.

  1. Right to erasure

    a) Obligation to erase

    You have the right to request from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
  1. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

  5. for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

  1. Right to Information

    You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.
  2. Right to data portability
    You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that
  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and
  2. The processing is carried out using automated procedures .

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others .
The right to data portability does not apply to the 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 controller.


  1. Right to object
    You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

    The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that 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 such purposes.

    You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by automated means 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 statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR.

    Your right to object may be restricted insofar as 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 those purposes.
  2. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
    You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

    9. Automated decision-making 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
  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  2. is permitted under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or
  3. This is done with your explicit consent.

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

With regard to the cases mentioned in points 1 and 3, the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

  1. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
