Definitions of Terms

“Personal Data” refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g., cookie), or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and includes virtually any handling of data.

“Pseudonymization” refers to the processing of personal data in such a way that the 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 organizational measures to ensure that the data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

“Profiling” refers to any form of automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

“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.

“Processor” refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Applicable Legal Basis

In accordance with Article 13 of the GDPR, we inform you about the legal basis of our data processing activities. For users from the scope of the GDPR, i.e., the EU and the EEA, the following applies unless the legal basis is explicitly stated in the privacy policy:

- The legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

- If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing personal data necessary, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

- The legal basis for necessary processing to perform a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority assigned to the controller is Article 6(1)(e) GDPR.

- The legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, considering the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in accordance with legal requirements.

These measures include ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, transmission, availability, and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have procedures in place to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, data deletion, and responses to data breaches. We also consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software, and processes, following the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Cooperation with Processors, Joint Controllers, and Third Parties

If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers, or third parties), transfer it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data in the course of our processing, this is done only on the basis of a legal permission, if users have consented, a legal obligation requires it, or based on our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we disclose, transfer, or otherwise provide access to data to other companies within our corporate group, this is done particularly for administrative purposes based on legitimate interests and beyond that on a legal basis.

Data Transfers to Third Countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), or the Swiss Confederation) or this happens in the context of using third-party services or disclosure, or transfer of data to other persons or companies, this is done only to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations, based on your consent, due to a legal obligation, or based on our legitimate interests. Subject to explicit consent or contractual necessity, we process or allow the data to be processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, existing certifications, or binding internal data protection regulations (Articles 44 to 49 GDPR, EU Commission Information Page).

- Right to Rectification: You have the right to request the correction or completion of inaccurate data concerning you in accordance with legal requirements.

- Right to Erasure and Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request the immediate deletion of data concerning you, or alternatively, to request a restriction of the processing of data in accordance with legal requirements.

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

Cookies and Right to Object in Direct Marketing

"Cookies" are small files stored on users' devices. Various types of information can be stored within cookies. A cookie primarily serves to save information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online offering.

- Temporary cookies or "session cookies" (also referred to as "transient cookies") are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser. For example, such a cookie can store the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or the login status.

- "Permanent" or "persistent cookies" remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved so that users can revisit after several days without needing to log in again. Persistent cookies can also store users' interests for purposes like audience measurement or marketing.

- "Third-party cookies" are cookies offered by providers other than the one responsible for the online offering (if only the responsible provider's cookies are used, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").

We may use both temporary and permanent cookies and will provide information about this in our Privacy Policy.

If we ask users for consent to use cookies (e.g., as part of a cookie consent process), the legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, personal cookies are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering, as per Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). If the use of cookies is necessary for carrying out a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) GDPR.

If users do not wish cookies to be stored on their devices, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. However, disabling cookies may lead to restrictions in the functionality of this online offering.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes (particularly in the case of tracking) can be declared via the US-based page [http://www.aboutads.info/choices/](http://www.aboutads.info/choices/) or the EU page [http://www.youronlinechoices.com/](http://www.youronlinechoices.com/). Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be disabled in the browser settings. Please note, however, that not all functions of this online offering may be usable in this case.

Deletion of Data

The data we process will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with legal requirements. Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose, and no legal retention obligations prevent its deletion.

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means the data will be locked and not processed for other purposes. For example, this applies to data that must be retained for commercial or tax-related reasons.

Changes and Updates to the Privacy Policy

We kindly ask you to regularly review the content of our Privacy Policy. We will adjust the Privacy Policy whenever changes in our data processing activities make it necessary. We will notify you if the changes require your cooperation (e.g., providing consent) or any other individual notification.

Hosting and Email Delivery

The hosting services we use are designed to provide the following: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, database services, email delivery, security measures, and technical maintenance services required for the operation of this online offering.

In this context, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contractual data, usage data, and meta/communication data of customers, prospects, and visitors of this online offering. This processing is based on our legitimate interests in providing an efficient and secure online offering in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Article 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).

Collection of Access Data and Log Files

We, or our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is hosted (so-called server log files) based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The access data includes:

Name of the accessed website
File
Date and time of access
Amount of data transferred
Notification of successful retrieval
Browser type and version
User's operating system
Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
IP address
Requesting provider

Log file information may be stored by our hosting provider for the duration of the website's operation. Data that must be retained for evidence purposes will be exempt from deletion until the respective incident is fully resolved.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

Within our online offering, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering as defined by Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the users’ IP address, as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for displaying this content. We strive to use only content from providers that use the IP address solely for delivering the content.

Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. These "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users' devices and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other details about the use of our online offering, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

Google Maps

We integrate the maps provided by the “Google Maps” service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The data processed may include, in particular, users' IP addresses and location data, which are not collected without their consent (usually provided as part of the settings on their mobile devices). The data may be processed in the USA.
