Relevant Legal Basis

Below you will find an overview of the legal basis of the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your country of residence or our country of establishment. If more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.

  • Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) – The data subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more specific purposes.
  • Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) – 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 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

National Data Protection Regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG). The BDSG contains special provisions on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes, and transmission as well as automated individual decision-making, including profiling. Furthermore, it regulates data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship (§ 26 BDSG), in particular with regard to the establishment, implementation, or termination of employment relationships and the consent of employees. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.

Security Measures

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

Measures include in particular securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability, and their separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data threats. We also consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

IP Address Shortening: If IP addresses are processed by us or by the service providers and technologies used and the processing of a complete IP address is not necessary, the IP address is shortened (also referred to as "IP masking"). The last two digits or the last part of the IP address after a period is removed or replaced by placeholders. The shortening of the IP address is intended to prevent or significantly hinder the identification of a person by their IP address.

SSL Encryption (https): To protect your data transmitted via our online offer, we use SSL encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix https:// in the address bar of your browser.

Transmission of Personal Data

In the context of our processing of personal data, the data may be transmitted to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons or disclosed to them. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we observe the legal requirements and in particular conclude appropriate contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

Data Processing in Third Countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if processing takes place in the context of using third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, bodies, or companies, this only takes place in accordance with legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transmission, we only process or have the data processed in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications, or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en).

Deletion of Data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements as soon as their consent to processing is revoked or other permissions expire (e.g., if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or it is not required for the purpose).

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted to these purposes. This means the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.

As part of our privacy information, we may provide users with additional information about the deletion and retention of data that applies specifically to the respective processing processes.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit within an online offer. Stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the location where a video was watched. The term cookies also includes other technologies that fulfill the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as "user IDs").

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offer and closes their browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again.
  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.
  • Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers to process user information.
  • Necessary cookies: Cookies may be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g., to store logins or other user inputs or for security reasons).
  • Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookies: Furthermore, cookies are usually also used in the context of reach measurement and when the interests of a user or their behavior on individual websites are stored in a user profile.

Notes on legal basis: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If this applies and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage duration: If we do not provide you with explicit information about the storage duration of permanent cookies, please assume that the storage duration can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to revoke consent granted or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies. You can declare your objection through your browser settings or via the following services: https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure in which users' consent to the use of cookies can be obtained, managed, and revoked by users.

  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR)
