Recipients of personal data

As part of our business, we work with external partners. Some of this work requires the sharing of personal data to these external partners. We only share personal data with third parties if this is required to fulfill a contract or we are required by law (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), or if we have a legitimate interest based on Art. 6 (1) point f of the GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we transfer our customers’ personal data solely on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.


Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing is only possible with your express consent. You can also revoke at any time the consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).


Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.


Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have at any time the right to demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data.

  • In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data stored by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
  • If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
  • If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
