Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transmit personal data to these external entities. We only pass on personal data to external entities if this is required for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data to third parties based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal basis for the processing can be found in 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 the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).

Complaint to the Relevant Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request the transfer of data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right, at any time, to request free access to your stored personal data, its origin, recipient, the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data, within the limits of applicable laws. For further questions on the topic of personal data, you can 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. You can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it has not been determined whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – will 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 important public interest reasons of the EU or a member state.
