Data protection

We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management. The use of the websites is generally possible without entering personal data. If a data subject wishes to make use of specific services from our company via our website, the processing of personal data may, however, be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, shall always be in line with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Christina Klumpp website. By means of this Privacy Policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this Privacy Policy.

As the data controller, Christina Klumpp has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the protection of the personal data processed through this website with as few gaps as possible. However, online data transmissions may have fundamental security holes, meaning that absolute protection cannot be assured. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The Privacy Policy of Christina Klumpp is based on the terms used by the European Data Protection Supervisor when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. In order to ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy:

a) Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person, can be identified.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the processor.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Data or on sets of Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

(d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data aiming at the restriction of their future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

(g) Controller or person responsible for processing

The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

(i) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

j) Third party

Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

k) Consent

Consent shall mean any freely given specific and informed indication of the wishes of the data subject, in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject signifies his agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him.

2. Name and address of the data controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR & BDSG [Federal Data Protection Act]), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions relating to data protection is:

3. Cookies

The internet pages of Christina Klumpp use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a clear identification of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be matched with the concrete Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers to differentiate the data subject’s individual browser from other Internet browsers which contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised again and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Christina Klumpp can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offerings on our website can be optimised in the interests of the user. As mentioned above, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of such recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the site, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the storage of cookies by our website at any time by using the appropriate setting on the web browser they are using and thus permanently counter the storage of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the storage of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

We divide cookies into the following categories:

Depending on their function and intended use, cookies are divided into the following three categories - essential cookies, functional cookies and marketing/tracking cookies.

4. Collection of general data and information

Whenever the Christina Klumpp website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, the website collects a range of general data and information. Such general data and information is stored in the web server’s log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser type and version used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-sites on our website which an accessing system visits, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol Address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider for the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information which is used for emergency response in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

In the event of use of this general data and information, no conclusions are drawn about the data subject by Christina Klumpp. Rather, such information is required in order to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimise the website and advertising for it, (3) to ensure the ongoing functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website and (4) to provide the information required for prosecution to the law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore subjected by Christina Klumpp to statistical analysis on the one hand and is furthermore analysed with the aim of improving data protection and data security within our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for our processing of personal data. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data given by a data subject.

4.1 Processing of the IP address

The processing of your IP address is mandatory for the use of the site in order to deliver the data packets of our website to you. Both the web server and your internet device have an IP address and contact each other through this address to provide data to each other. You can see the website and we get the data you enter.

Your IP address is stored by us for page transmission as well as in the log files. We cannot draw any direct conclusions about your identity from the processing of the IP address and other information in the log file.

The legal basis for this data processing results from Art. 6(1) point f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests here are to ensure proper operation, as well as to deal with malfunctions and follow up on IT security breaches.

5. Contact option via the website

The website of Christina Klumpp contains legal information enabling you to contact our enterprise quickly via electronic means or to communicate directly with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data provided on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directives and Regulations or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by European Directives and Regulations or other competent legislators expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the legal provisions.

7. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data relating to him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may do so by contacting the controller or our data protection officer. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

b) Right of access

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European Directives and Regulations to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, access to the personal data stored concerning their person, as well as a copy of such data. Furthermore, the European Directives and Regulations granted the data subject access to the following information:

the purposes of processing

the categories of personal data processed

the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries or international organisations

if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration

the existence of the right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her or the right to restriction of processing by the controller or the right to object to such processing

the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority

if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information on the origin of the data

the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Moreover, where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data relating to him or her are being processed.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may do so by contacting the controller or our data protection officer at any time. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

Please note that the person responsible can only provide information if there are no doubts about the identity of the person concerned. The controller will verify the identity of a data subject seeking information.

c) Right to rectification

Each individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulations to request the immediate rectification of incorrect personal data concerning their person. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking the purposes of processing into account, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact the controller or our data protection officer. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Each individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European Directives and Regulations to request that the controllers immediately erase the personal data concerning your person, provided that one of the following reasons applies and to the extent the processing is not necessary:

The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer needed.

The data subject revokes the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1) point a) of the GDPR or Art. 9(2) point a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) of the GDPR.

The personal data have been processed unlawfully.

The deletion of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by Christina Klumpp, he or she may, at any time, contact the controller or our data protection officer. The person responsible for processing the data or the Data Protection Officer, Christina Klumpp, will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

If the personal data of Christina Klumpp has been made public and our enterprise as the responsible party is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Christina Klumpp shall implement reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested from those other data controllers to erase all links to or copies or replications of the personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The person responsible for the processing or the data protection officer Christina Klumpp will arrange the necessary in individual cases. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of use of the personal data.

The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Christina Klumpp, he or she may, at any time, contact the controller or our data protection officer. The controller or the data protection officer Christina Klumpp will arrange for the restriction of processing. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

f) Right to data portability

Each individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulations to receive the personal data concerning themselves which has been provided by the data subject to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, he or she has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data was provided, insofar as the processing is based on consent according to point a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or point a) of Art. 9(2) GDPR or is based on a contract according to point b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR and the processing takes place with the support of automated processes to the extent the processing is not required for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of an official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.

In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the controller or the Data Protection Officer, Christina Klumpp. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

(g) Right to object

Each individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulations to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning their person which is based on point e) or f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. This also applies for profiling based on those provisions.

If you exercise your right to object, Christina Klumpp will no longer process the personal data, unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercising or defence of legal claims.

If Christina Klumpp processes personal data in order to conduct direct marketing, then the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data for the purposes of such advertising at any time. This also includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects vis-à-vis Christina Klumpp to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed by Christina Klumpp for such purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out by Christina Klumpp for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the controller or the Data Protection Officer Christina Klumpp. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy. The data subject is also free to exercise his or her right to object in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making including profiling

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or affects him or her in a similarly significant manner, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the responsible person, or (2) it is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, Christina Klumpp shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person acting on behalf of the controller, to express the data subject’s point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated decisions, he or she may, at any time, contact the controller or our data protection officer. The contact details required for this can be found under points 2 and 3 of this Privacy Policy.

i) Right to withdraw the consent under data protection law

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of his or her consent until such withdrawal.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact the controller or our data protection officer. The contact details required for this can be found under point 2 of this Privacy Policy.

8. Cooperation with processors and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as to payment and shipping service providers, is necessary for the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6(1) point b) GDPR), you have expressly consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.). If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing agreement", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

9. Transfer to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if we do so in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this will only be done if it takes place in order to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the processing of data in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. This means that processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

10. Hosting

The hosting services used by us serve to provide the following necessary services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we require for the purpose of operating this online offering. We, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta data and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors of this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer pursuant to Art. 6(1) point f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of an order processing agreement).

Our service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. When you click on a third party link, you will be forwarded directly to that third party's website. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of each website you visit.

We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party web sites or services and assume no liability in connection therewith.

12. Data security

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data in connection with the use of this website against access by unauthorised persons, manipulation, destruction and loss. The security measures deployed are subject to continuous improvement in line with technological progress.

Thus, the transmission of your data always takes place via a secure SSL connection - easily recognisable by the corresponding address component "https://" as well as by the attached green lock symbol. By clicking on the icon you will get information about the SSL security certificate used. The display of this symbol depends on the browser version used.

SSL encryption ensures the encrypted, complete transmission of your data.

13. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The processor has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on the website from which a data subject arrived at a website (so-called referred), what sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is predominantly used for optimisation of a website and for cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.

The operating company for the Google Analytics module is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The processor uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp” add-on for web analysis using Google Analytics. Through this add-on, Google shortens and anonymises the IP address for the data subject’s internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state which is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics module is the analysis of visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information gained to evaluate the use of our website, among other things, in order to put together online reports showing the activity on our website and in order to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics stores a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Cookies have already been explained above. Storage of the cookie allows Google to analyse the use of our website. With each view of the individual pages of this website which are operated by the processor and on which a Google Analytics module has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics module to communicate data for the purposes of online analysis by Google. During the course of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data such as the data subject’s IP address which Google uses, among other things, to trace the visitor’s origin and clicks and, as a result, to allow for commission settlement.

Personal information such as the access time, the location from which the site was accessed and frequency of the data subject’s visits to our website are recorded using the cookies. This personal data, including the IP address for the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America with each visit to our website. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google discloses this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties under some circumstances.

As outlined above, the data subject can prevent the storage of cookies by our website at any time using the appropriate setting on the web browser they are using and thus permanently counter the storage of cookies. Such a setting in the web browser used would also prevent Google from storing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, a cookie which has already been stored by Google Analytics can be erased at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to collection of the data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and prevent such collection and use. To this end, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on via the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to inform Google Analytics that no data and information concerning website visits may be communicated to Google Analytics. Installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google to be an objection. If the data subject’s IT system is erased, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributed to their sphere of influence, the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on exists.

More information and the applicable Google data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail in this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Via our privacy settings you can disable Google Analytics for smartphones and tablets by allowing essential cookies only.

Art. 6 I point a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I point b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation through which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I point c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I point d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I point f) GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, such legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence of the GDPR).

15. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I point f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities. The protection of the personal data of the data subject is paramount.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our enterprise or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the interest mentioned first, point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

16. Period for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the storage period for personal data is the applicable legal retention period. Upon expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely erased unless it is still required for fulfilment of a contract or initiation of a contract.

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is legally required to some extent (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (e.g. information about the contractual partner). It may sometimes be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data for the conclusion of a contract which we must them process. The data subject is required, for example, to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data will result in an inability to conclude the contract with the data subject. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject, for the specific case, whether the provisions of personal data is legally or contractually required or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of failure to provide the personal data would be.

18. Existence of automated decision making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

19. Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of an infringement of data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our business has its registered office. You can find a list of the data protection commissioners and their contact details by following this link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
