The right to deletion ("right to be forgotten") does not exist if the processing is required:

  • to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information,      
  • to fulfil a legal obligation required by the law of the EU or of the member states to which the controller is subject, or to carry out a task which is in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority delegated to the controller,

If the processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, these personal data will only be stored with the consent of the data subject or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons important to the public interest of the EU or of a member state.

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

(7) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data you provide to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer that information to another person without hindrance by the controller providing the personal information to be transmitted, provided that:

a. the processing is based on a consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) or a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR; and

b. the processing is done using automated procedures.

When exercising the right to data portability in accordance with paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain the transmission of the personal data directly from one controller to another, as far as technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability is without prejudice to the right of cancellation (the right to be forgotten). This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller.

If personal data is processed in order to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct mail. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Regarding the use of information agency services, regardless of Directive 2002/58 / EC, you can exercise your right to object through automated procedures that use technical specifications.

You have the right, for reasons of your own particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes under Article 89 (1), except when: the processing is necessary to fulfil a public interest task.

The right of objection can be exercised at any time by contacting the respective person responsible.

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

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - that will have legal effect or affect you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision:

a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller,

b. is permitted by EU or member state legislation to which the controller is subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or

c. is made with the express consent of the data subject.

The controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to express his or her own position and to challenge the decision.

This right can be exercised by the data subject at any time by addressing the responsible person.

(10) Right to complain to a supervisiory authority

Furthermore, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, they shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of the personal data may violate this regulation.

(11) Right to effective judical remedy

Without prejudice to an available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to complain to a supervisory authority under Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if that supervisory authority considers that the rights conferred to you by this regulation concerning the processing of your personal data were not satisfied.

Order Processing

We use external service providers (processors) e.g. for the operation of the website. Separate order data processing has been entered into with the service provider to ensure the protection of your personal data.

Our social media appearances

Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly available profiles in socail networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Google+, etc. can typically fully analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (such as like buttons or banner ads.) By visiting our social media presence, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal may associate this visit with your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if your are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective socail media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising in and out of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to.

Please also note that we can not understand all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (for example, consent within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsible assertion of rights

When you visit one of our social media sites (such as Facebook), we share responsibility for the data processing operations triggered during that visit with the social media platform operator. In priciple, you may assert your rights (information, rectification, deletion, limitation of processing, data protability and complaint) both to us and to the operator of the respective socail media portal (for example Facebook).

 

 

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the socail media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage time

The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage is deleted, you ask us to delete it or you revoke your consent to the storage. Saved cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - especially retention periods - remain unaffected.

 

 

We have no control over the storage time of your data, which is stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (for example, in their privacy policy, see below).
