General information on the legal basis for data processing
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR if special categories of data under Article 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing also takes place on the basis of Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

The relevant legal basis applicable in each case is explained in the following sections.

Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external organizations, which may require the transfer of personal data. We only transfer personal data to external parties when it is necessary for fulfilling a contract, required by law (e.g., to tax authorities), justified by our legitimate interest (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), or based on another legal basis. When we use processors, we transfer personal data only based on a valid processing contract. In case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.
THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR).

This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You can contact us at any time regarding this or other questions on personal data.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this right. The right applies in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/ is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
If you have objected pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your and our interests. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted processing, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims, or for protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important public interests of the EU or a Member State.
