Relevant legal bases

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR:Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on the basis of 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 domicile. Should more specific legal bases be relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.

• Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) – The data subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for a specific purpose or several specific purposes.
• Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) – The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) – The processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data are not overridden prevail.

Application of data protection regulations in the country of residence: In the country in which the controller is based, national data protection regulations apply in addition to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Security measures

In accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.to ensure the necessary level of protection.

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 the access, input, and transfer of data, ensuring its availability, and segregation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data threats. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data during the development and selection of hardware, software, and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design, and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Securing online connections through TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): To protect user data transmitted via our online services from unauthorized access, we rely on TLS/SSL encryption technology. 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. If a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is signaled by the display of HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator for 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 transmitted to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve 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 as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, bodies, or companies (which can be identified by the postal address of the respective provider or if the privacy policy expressly refers to data transfer to third countries), this is always done in accordance with the 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 dated 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 of your data: The DPF forms the primary layer of protection, while the standard contractual clauses serve as additional security. Should changes occur within the framework of the DPF, the standard contractual clauses intervene as a reliable fallback option. This ensures that your data always remains adequately protected, even in the event of any political or legal changes.

For individual service providers, we will inform you whether they are certified according to the DPF and whether standard contractual clauses are in place. Further information on the DPF and a list of certified companies can be found on the U.S. Department of Commerce website at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/ (in English).

Appropriate security measures apply to data transfers to other third countries, in particular standard contractual clauses, explicit consent, or legally required transfers. 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 provisions as soon as the underlying consent is revoked or there are no further legal grounds for processing. This applies to cases where the original processing purpose no longer applies or the data is no longer needed. 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 law reasons, or whose storage is necessary for legal proceedings or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons, must be archived accordingly.

Our privacy policy contains additional information on data storage and deletion that applies specifically to certain processing operations.

If multiple retention periods or deletion periods are specified for a given date, the longest period always applies. We process data that is no longer stored for its original purpose but due to legal requirements or other reasons only for the reasons that justify its storage.

Deadline begins at the end of the year: If a deadline does not explicitly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it automatically begins at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the deadline occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships within the framework of which data is stored, the event triggering the deadline is the time at which the termination or other termination of the legal relationship takes effect.
