Security and protection of your personal data

We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data provided by you and to protect it from unauthorised access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a company under private law, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/DSGVO) and the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our external service providers.

Definition of terms

The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, in good faith and in a manner understandable to the data subject ("lawfulness, fairness, transparency"). In order to guarantee this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions of terms which are also used in this data protection declaration:

  1. Personal data:
    "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"); a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more specific characteristics which express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person, is regarded as identifiable.
  2. Processing
    "Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is carried out in relation to personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or association, qualification, erasure or destruction.
  3. Restriction of processing
    "Limitation of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
  4. Profiling
    „Profiling“ means any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, whereabouts or movements of that natural person.
  5. Pseudonymisation
    "Pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the provision of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures ensuring that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  6. File system
    "File system" means any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or organised on a functional or geographical basis.
  7. Responsible party
    "Responsible party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by European Union law or by the law of the Member States, the person responsible or the specific criteria for his or her designation may be laid down by European Union law or by the law of the Member States.
  8. Contract processors
    "Contract processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.
  9. Recipient
    "Recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not that person is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation task under European Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be considered as recipients; the processing of such data by those authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules and in accordance with the purposes of the processing.
  10. Third party
    "Third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body, other than the data subject, the person responsible, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the person responsible or the processor.
  11. Consent
    The data subject's "consent" shall mean any voluntary, informed and unambiguous expression of his or her will in the particular case, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject indicates his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data.

Lawfulness of the processing

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. According to Article 6 (1) lit. a-f GDPR, the legal basis for the processing may in particular be:

  1. The data subject has given his/her consent to the processing of his/her personal data for one or more specific purposes, in particular to be carried out;
  2. the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject;
  3. the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the person responsible is subject;
  4. the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  5. processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority which was transferred to the person responsible;
  6. processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the person responsible or of a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned, which require the protection of personal data, are overridden, in particular where the person concerned is a child.

Further functions and offers of our website

(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. For this purpose, you will generally have to provide further personal data which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

Newsletter

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

(2) We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the given e-mail address in which we will ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the dates of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) Your e-mail address is the only mandatory information for sending the newsletter. The indication of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally.

For the evaluations we link the above data and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. The data is collected exclusively under a pseudonym, so the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. You may object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us of another contact method. The information is stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After a deregistration we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.

The right to receive a copy in accordance with paragraph 3 shall not prejudice the rights and freedoms of others.

(4) Right of correction

You have the right to demand from us immediately the correction of incorrect personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of a supplementary declaration.

(5) Right to cancellation ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to ask the person responsible to delete personal data about you immediately and we are obligated to delete personal data immediately if any of the following reasons apply:

  1. Personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. The data subject shall revoke the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. The data subject objects to the processing under Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or the data subject objects to the processing under Article 21(2) GDPR.

  5. The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under European Union law or the law of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject.
  6. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

The right to cancellation ("right to be forgotten") does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

  • on the exercise of freedom of expression and information;
  • to fulfil a legal obligation which the processing requires under the law of the European Union or of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the person responsible;
  • for reasons of public interest in the field of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;

  1. the accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject for a period of time which enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
  2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses to erase the personal data and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted;

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data shall not be processed, except with the consent of the person affected or for the exercise or defence of legal rights or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State, except where they are stored.

In order to exercise the right to limit the processing, the person affected may contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.

(7) Right to data transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer such data to another person responsible without interference from the person responsible to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that:

  1. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and
  2. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

When exercising the right to data transfer pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to effect that the personal data be transferred directly from one responsible person to another responsible person, insofar as this is technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data transfer does not affect the right to cancellation ("right to be forgotten").

(8) Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you carried out pursuant to Article 6(1) (e) or (f) GDPR including profiling based on these provisions.

If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising, including profiling in so far as it is linked to such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

As regards the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You 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 in accordance with Article 89(1), unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.

You can exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the person responsible.

(9) Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effect on 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 the data subject and the person responsible,
  2. is authorised by the European Union or national legislation to which the person responsible is subject and contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject; or
  3. with the express consent of the data subject.

The person responsible shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to have the data subject intervene, to state his or her views and to challenge the decision.

The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the person responsible.

(10) Right to complain to a supervisory authority

You shall also have the right, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of presumed infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of his or her personal data is contrary to this Regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to appeal to a supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of a processing of your personal data that is not in accordance with this Regulation.

Use of Social Media Plugins

(1) We are currently using the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Twitter, Xing. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognise the provider of the plug-in by the mark on the box above its initial letter or the logo. We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have called up the corresponding website of our online service. In addition, the data collected during your visit to our website will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is made anonymous immediately after collection, according to information provided by the respective providers in Germany. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is transferred to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the greyed-out box.

(2) We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. Also for the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider no information is available to us.

(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) in order to display demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

(4) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and communicates it publicly to your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid being assigned to your profile by the plug-in provider.

(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the following data protection declarations of these providers. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy.

(2) By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data collected during your visit to our website will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether there is no user account. When you're logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your profile to be associated with Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the design of its website in line with requirements. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) in order to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

(3) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider's data protection declarations.
