Relevant legal bases

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: Below you will find an overview of the legal bases under the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that, in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or registered office. If more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of this in the privacy policy.

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Act on the Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). The BDSG contains, in particular, special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transfer, as well as automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may also apply.

Safety measures

In accordance with legal requirements, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of threats to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, transfer, availability, and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure that the rights of data subjects are exercised, data is deleted, and responses are made to threats to data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.

Securing online connections with TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): We use TLS/SSL encryption technology to protect user data transmitted via our online services from unauthorized access. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the Internet. These technologies encrypt the information transmitted between the website or app and the user’s browser (or between two servers), protecting the data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the more advanced and secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transmissions meet the highest security standards. When a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is indicated by the display of HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator to users that their data is being transmitted securely and encrypted.

Transfer of personal data

As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that this data is transferred to or disclosed to other departments, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect your data.

International data transfers

Data processing in third countries: If we transfer data to a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to other persons, agencies, or companies (which can be identified by the postal address of the respective provider or if the privacy policy expressly refers to the transfer of data to third countries), this is always done in accordance with legal requirements.

For data transfers to the USA, we primarily rely on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which was recognized as a secure legal framework by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission on July 10, 2023. In addition, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the respective providers that comply with the requirements of the EU Commission and establish contractual obligations to protect your data.

This dual safeguard ensures comprehensive protection for your data: the DPF forms the primary level of protection, while the standard contractual clauses serve as additional security. Should changes arise within the framework of the DPF, the standard contractual clauses serve as a reliable fallback option. This ensures that your data remains adequately protected even in the event of political or legal changes.

We will inform you whether individual service providers are certified under the DPF and whether standard contractual clauses are in place. For more information on the DPF and a list of certified companies, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce website at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

Appropriate security measures apply to data transfers to other third countries, in particular standard contractual clauses, explicit consent, or transfers required by law. Information on third-country transfers and applicable adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the EU Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.

General information on data storage and deletion

We delete personal data that we process in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the underlying consent is revoked or there is no further legal basis for processing. This applies to cases in which the original purpose of processing no longer applies or the data is no longer required. Exceptions to this rule exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer storage or archiving of the data.

In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly.

Our data protection information contains additional information on the storage and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing procedures.

If there are several specifications regarding the retention period or deletion deadlines for a piece of data, the longest period shall always apply. We process data that is no longer required for its original purpose but is retained due to legal requirements or other reasons exclusively for the reasons that justify its retention.

Rights of data subjects

Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Articles 15 to 21 GDPR:

• Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
• Right of revocation of consent: You have the right to revoke your consent at any time.
• Right to information: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether the data in question is being processed and to obtain information about this data, as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the legal requirements.
• Right to rectification: In accordance with legal requirements, you have the right to request that data concerning you be completed or that inaccurate data concerning you be corrected.
• Right to erasure and restriction of processing: In accordance with legal requirements, you have the right to request that data concerning you be erased immediately or, alternatively, in accordance with legal requirements, to request a restriction on the processing of the data.
• Right to data portability: You have the right to receive data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format in accordance with legal requirements, or to request that it be transferred to another controller.
• Complaint to 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, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the provisions of the GDPR.

Provision of online services and web hosting

We process user data in order to provide them with our online services. For this purpose, we process the user’s IP address, which is necessary to transmit the content and functions of our online services to the user’s browser or end device.

Use of cookies

The term “cookies” refers to functions that store and read information on users’ end devices. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as to ensure the functionality, security, and convenience of online offerings and to analyze visitor traffic. We use cookies in accordance with legal requirements. To do so, we obtain the consent of users in advance, if necessary. If consent is not necessary, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies if the storage and retrieval of information is essential in order to provide expressly requested content and functions. This includes, for example, the storage of settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online offering. Consent can be revoked at any time. We provide clear information about the scope of cookies and which cookies are used.

Information on legal bases for data protection: Whether we process personal data using cookies depends on consent. If consent has been given, it serves as the legal basis. Without consent, we rely on our legitimate interests, which are explained above in this section and in the context of the respective services and procedures.

Storage period: With regard to the storage period, a distinction is made between the following types of cookies:

• Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offering and closes their device (e.g., browser or mobile application).
• Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the device is closed. This allows, for example, the log-in status to be saved and preferred content to be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The user data collected with the help of cookies can also be used to measure reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage duration of cookies (e.g., when obtaining consent), they should assume that these are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Users can revoke their consent at any time and also object to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements, including by using the privacy settings of their browser.

• Types of data processed: Meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, time stamps, identification numbers, persons involved).
• Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Further information on processing procedures, methods, and services:

• Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a consent management solution that obtains users’ consent to the use of cookies or to the procedures and providers specified in the consent management solution. This procedure is used to obtain, log, manage, and revoke consent, in particular with regard to the use of cookies and similar technologies that are used to store, read, and process information on users’ end devices. As part of this procedure, users’ consent is obtained for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing and providers specified in the consent management procedure. Users also have the option of managing and revoking their consent. The declarations of consent are stored in order to avoid repeated queries and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal requirements. Storage takes place on the server side and/or in a cookie (known as an opt-in cookie) or using comparable technologies in order to be able to assign consent to a specific user or their device. If no specific information is available about the providers of consent management services, the following general information applies: Consent is stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, details of the scope of consent (e.g., relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers), and information about the browser, system, and device used; legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Presence on social networks (social media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce user rights.

Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the usage behavior and resulting interests of users. The latter may in turn be used to place advertisements within and outside the networks that are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For this reason, cookies are usually stored on users’ computers, in which their usage behavior and interests are stored. In addition, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if they are members of the respective platforms and are logged in there).

For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer you to the privacy policies and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would also like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the latter have access to the user data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. However, if you still require assistance, please contact us.

• Types of data processed: Contact details (e.g., postal and email addresses or telephone numbers); content data (e.g., text or image messages and posts, as well as information relating to them, such as details of authorship or time of creation).

Plug-ins and embedded functions and content

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may be graphics, videos, or city maps (hereinafter referred to collectively as “content”).

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the users, as they would not be able to send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content or these functions. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offering, but may also be linked to such information from other sources.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is consent. Otherwise, user data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in efficient, economical, and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to refer you to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

• Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., page views and dwell time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions). Meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, time stamps, identification numbers, persons involved).
• Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Provision of our online offering and user-friendliness.
• Storage and deletion: Deletion in accordance with the information in the section “General information on data storage and deletion.” Storage of cookies for up to 2 years (unless otherwise specified, cookies and similar storage methods may be stored on users’ devices for a period of two years).
