Legal Basis for Processing
The legal basis for processing your personal data depends on the purpose of the processing:
Where processing is necessary to establish, perform, or fulfill a contract, it is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Where we obtain your consent, processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Processing may also be carried out where necessary to protect our legitimate interests, provided that your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms do not override those interests, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where we engage external service providers acting as data processors, processing is carried out in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.
Where we jointly determine the purposes and means of processing with another controller, the required agreements have been concluded in accordance with Article 26 GDPR.
The personal data we process depends on the specific functions and services you use on this website. The relevant information is provided in the applicable sections of this Privacy Policy.
Withdrawal of Your Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Right to Object (Article 21 GDPR)
Where your personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, including any profiling based on those provisions.
The applicable legal basis for processing is explained in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Article 21(1) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data that we process by automated means on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that this data be transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible.
Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of your personal data.
If you have any questions regarding your personal data or your rights, you may contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following circumstances:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data, we will generally require time to verify the information. During this period, you have the right to request that processing be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer require your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, processing may be restricted until it has been determined whether our legitimate interests override yours.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data—apart from being stored—may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Data Security
This website uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption (formerly SSL) with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. In most cases, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, a 128-bit encryption standard will be used instead.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the closed padlock or key symbol displayed in your browser's address or status bar, where supported.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. Industry-standard technologies and security procedures are used to safeguard the information you provide.
Our systems are regularly reviewed for potential vulnerabilities and attacks. However, because communication over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted electronically.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed despite our physical, technical, and organizational safeguards.
