1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device. The following data is collected:

• Information about the browser type and version used
• The user’s operating system
• The user’s internet service provider
• The user’s IP address
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website
• Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

4. Storage period

The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected to provide the website, this is when the respective session has ended.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.

1. Right of access

You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you may request information from the controller about the following:

• the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
• the categories of personal data being processed;
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
• the planned storage period of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period;
• the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing;
• the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
• all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
• the existence of automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without delay.

3. Right to restriction of processing

You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

• if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
• the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
• if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a member state.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase – You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

• The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
• You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
• The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
• The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the member states to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

b) Information to third parties – If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, the controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

c) Exceptions – The right to erasure does not exist insofar as processing is necessary

• for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
• for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or member state law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
• for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
• for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to be informed

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

• the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and
• the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you further have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to object

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

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 the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you have the option of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the point of withdrawal.

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

• is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller,
• is authorised by Union or member state law to which the controller is subject and which lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
• is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a 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 residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
