Security and protection of your personal data
Maintaining the confidentiality of the personal data which you provide and protecting it against unauthorised access are our highest priority. We take the utmost care and employ the most up-to-date security standards in order to guarantee maximum protection of your personal data.

As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organisational measures which ensure that both we and our external service providers comply with the regulations relating to data protection.

Definitions
The legislator requires that personal data be processed in a lawful manner, in good faith and in a manner which is understandable to the data subject ("lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency"). In order to ensure this, we are informing you of the individual statutory definitions which are also used in this data protection declaration.

    "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, 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.
     

  2. Processing
    "Processing" means 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.
     

  3. Restriction of processing
    "Restriction of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
     

  4. Profiling
    "Profiling" is any type of automated processing of personal data which means that this personal data is used in order to evaluate specific personal aspects which relate to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects in relation to work performance, economic position, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or change of location of this natural person.
     

  5. Pseudonymisation
    "Pseudonymisation" means 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 to ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
     

  6. Filing system
    "Filing system" means any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specified criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis.
     

  7. Controller
    "Controller" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency 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 nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
     

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

  9. Recipient
    "Recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, to whom personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data within the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
     

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

  11. Consent
    "Consent" of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Lawfulness of processing
The processing of personal data is only lawful if a legal basis exists for this. In particular, the legal basis for the processing in accordance with Article 6(1)
lit. a GDPR can be:

  1. The data subject has issued his or her consent to the processing of the personal data which relates to him or her for one or more specific purpose(s);

  2. The processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract whose contracting party is the data subject or in order to carry out pre-contractual measures following a request by the data subject;

  3. The processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

  4. The processing is necessary in order to protect vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

  5. The processing is necessary in order to perform a task which is in the public interest or which takes place in the exercising of public powers which have been assigned to the controller;

  6. The processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, unless the interests or basic rights and basic freedoms of the data subjects which require the protection of personal data take precedence, in particular if the data subject is a child.
