• The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR;
• The legal basis for processing to fulfil our services and implement contractual measures and answer inquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR;
• The legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR;
• In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security Measures

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing, as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, disclosure, availability and separation of the data. We have also set up procedures to ensure that data subjects' rights are exercised, data is deleted, and responses to data threats are ensured. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account already during the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and privacy-friendly default settings.

Cooperation with Processors, Joint Controllers and Third Parties

If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers or third parties) within the scope of our processing, transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract), users have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we disclose, transfer or otherwise grant access to data to other companies in our group of companies, this is done in particular for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and beyond that on a basis corresponding to the legal requirements.

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 disclosing or transferring data to other persons or companies, this only takes place if it is to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the data to be processed in a third country only if the legal requirements are met. This means that processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations.

Cookies and Right of Objection to Direct Marketing

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store 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" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser. In such a cookie, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status can be stored. "Permanent" or "persistent" cookies are cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit it after several days. Likewise, the interests of users can be stored in such a cookie, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies that are offered by providers other than the controller who operates the online offering (otherwise, if it is only their cookies, it is referred to as "first-party cookies").

We can use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this within the scope of our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional limitations of this online offering.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site //www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site //www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offering may then be available.

Deletion of Data

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in processing in accordance with legal requirements. Unless expressly 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 the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

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

Changes and Updates to the Privacy Policy

We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We will adjust the privacy policy as soon as the changes to the data processing carried out by us make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g. consent) or other individual notification.
