Privacy Notice Pursuant to GDPR
This Privacy Notice provides mandatory information regarding the transparency of personal data processing, as required under Articles 13 and 14 of the European General Data Protection, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), and other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union (“EU”).
Wherever your personal data is processed, you are a “data subject” as defined in GDPR. So that this Privacy Notice is as clear and understandable as possible, the word “you” is used interchangeably with the words “data subject”. Many other terms within this Privacy Notice are also defined terms under GDPR.

4. Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
The controller processes your personal data under one or more of several legal bases, as further set forth in GDPR. These legal bases are summarized as follows:
Legal Basis —> GDPR §
Consent - Where the controller obtains the data subject’s consent to the processing of personal data. —> §6(1)(a)

5. Routine Erasure, Blocking, and Storage Period of Your Personal Data
Any personal data arising from direct contact with the controller (see Section 2 ) will be retained only as long as necessary to address the inquiry, and then deleted, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Once the purpose of storing the data no longer applies, your personal data will be blocked or erased as a matter of routine and in accordance with EU and German laws.
6. Your Rights (“Rights of the Data Subject”)
Wherever your personal data is processed, you are a data subject, as defined in GDPR, and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
6.1 Right of Access to Data / Copies of Data
You can require the controller to confirm whether or not she processes personal data concerning you. If the controller does, then you have the right to request the following information from the controller:
a. the purposes of the processing;
b. the categories of personal data concerned;
c. the recipients or categories of recipient to whom your personal data have been or will be disclosed;
d. the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
e. the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of your personal data or restriction of processing of your personal data or to object to such processing;
f. the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
g. where the personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source; and
h. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in GDPR Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
You also have the right to be told whether your personal data is being or has been transferred to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards described in GDPR Article 46 relating to the transfer. Please see Section 9 below for more information.
6.2 Right to Rectification of Errors
You have the right to obtain from the controller the rectification and/or completion of processed personal data concerning you if the data is inaccurate. The controller must rectify the data without undue delay.
6.3 Right to Deletion / Right to be Forgotten
6.3.1. You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller has the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
a. your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
b. you withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to GDPR Articles 6(1)(a) or 9(2)(a), and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;
c. you object to the processing pursuant to GDPR Article 21(1) and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to GDPR Article 21(2);
d. your personal data has been unlawfully processed;
e. your personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in European Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject; or
f. your personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in GDPR Article 8(1).
6.3.2. Where the controller has made your personal data public and is obligated pursuant to GDPR Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, must take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, such personal data.
6.3.3. The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
a. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
b. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by European Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
c. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with GDPR Article 9(2) points (h) and (i) as well as Article 9(3);
d. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article GDPR 89(1) in so far as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
e. for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
6.4 Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to obtain from the controller a restriction of processing in any of the following circumstances:
a. you contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
b. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
d. you have objected to processing pursuant to GDPR Article 21(1) pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.
Where processing has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State. If you have obtained a restriction of processing through the above requirements, then you will be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.
6.5 Right to Notification
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller must communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to every recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or impracticable. The controller must inform you of these recipients if you request it.
6.6 Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data which you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where:
a. the processing is based on consent pursuant to GDPR Article 6(1)(a) or 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to GDPR Article 6(1)(b); and
b. the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. The rights and freedoms of others must not be adversely affected by this right.
6.7 Right to Object to Processing
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on GDPR Article 6(1)(e) or (f), including profiling based on those provisions.
a. The controller will no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
b. Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
c. Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.
6.8 Right to Withdraw Consent to Processing
Where you have given your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
6.9 Right to Object to Automated Processing / Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:
a. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;
b. is authorized by European Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c. is based on your explicit consent.
Such decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in GDPR Article 9(1), unless GDPR Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in points (a) and (c), the controller must implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
6.10 Right to Complain to a Supervisory Authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged must inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy under GDPR Article 78.
7. Transfers of Your Personal Data to Third Parties
The controller does not share any personal data with third parties, except where required by law (e.g., valid court order or subpoena), or where necessary to protect vital interests (risk of harm to self or others).
