To ensure that we always have up-to-date data protection information in connection with the services of our website, we use the CLOUD Privacy Policy service of Cookiebox GmbH from Münster.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides for extensive rights for data subjects in Chapter III, which we explain to you accordingly below with regard to the processing of your personal data:
This requirement concerns in particular information on the following details of data processing:
We will correct any erroneous data immediately, provided that you inform us of the circumstance accordingly.
Provided that the processing is no longer necessary and one of the following conditions is met:
Provided that one of the following conditions is met:
If it is technically possible and does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons, we will - at your request - transfer your data to another recipient (responsible party).
If we collect or have collected and process personal data from you (on the basis of Art. 6 (1) e or f or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR), you have the right to object to the data processing (including profiling) at any time (with effect for the future). In exceptional cases, the objection may be ineffective, e.g. if we can demonstrate compelling interests worthy of protection for the processing that outweigh your interests or processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. You also have the right to object to processing of your data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
If we collect or have collected and process personal data from you, you have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Exceptions to this requirement apply if the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us or you have expressly consented to the processing. In any case, we will take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on our part, to express our own point of view and to contest the decision.
You have the right to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
The following information applies to the data processing on our website in general. If there are exceptions or additions to this information, these are described in detail in the relevant sections.
We secure our website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. In addition, we have implemented SSL encryption (SHA256) on our website to protect your data. However, despite regular checks, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.
We process personal data in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, depending on the type and purpose of the processing as follows:

Our legitimate interest, as defined in Article 6 (1) f GDPR, is based on the performance of our business activities in order to maintain our ability to operate and secure the employment of our employees.
After the purpose of storage has ceased, the retention periods are generally at least six or ten years. As a rule, data is deleted immediately in accordance with our deletion concept, provided that this does not conflict with any retention obligation, necessity for contract fulfillment or a legitimate interest.
We store your personal data only for the period required to fulfill the specified purpose. After the purpose no longer applies and after expiration of any existing retention periods, your data will be deleted immediately. If deletion is not possible, the data will be blocked instead.
