Rights of data subject

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides for extensive rights for data subjects in Chapter III, which we explain to you accordingly below with regard to the processing of your personal data:

Right to information

This requirement concerns in particular information on the following details of data processing:

  • Processing purposes
  • Data categories
  • Recipients or categories of recipients, if applicable
  • If applicable, the planned storage duration or the criteria for determining this duration.
  • Note on the respective right of correction, deletion, restriction or objection
  • Existence of the right to complain to a supervisory authority
  • If applicable, origin of the data (if not collected from you)
  • If applicable, existence of automated decision-making including profiling, including meaningful information about the logic involved, the scope and the effects to be expected
  • If applicable, (planned) transfer to a third country or international organization
Right to rectification

We will correct any erroneous data immediately, provided that you inform us of the circumstance accordingly.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Provided that the processing is no longer necessary and one of the following conditions is met:

  • Discontinuation of the purpose of processing
  • Withdrawal of their consent and absence of any other legal basis for processing
  • Objection to processing without an important reason to the contrary
  • Unlawful processing
  • Required to fulfill a legal obligation
  • Data collection was carried out in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR
Right to restriction of processing

Provided that one of the following conditions is met:

  • You dispute the accuracy of your data (restriction can be made for the duration of the review on our side)
  • In the event of unlawful processing and if the data is not to be deleted, restriction of processing shall take the place of deletion
  • If the processing purposes cease to apply, at the same time you need your data for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
  • After you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and for the duration of the examination as to whether our legitimate reasons outweigh yours.
Right to data portability

If it is technically possible and does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons, we will - at your request - transfer your data to another recipient (responsible party).

Right to object

If we collect or have collected and process personal data from you (on the basis of Art. 6 (1) e or f or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR), you have the right to object to the data processing (including profiling) at any time (with effect for the future). In exceptional cases, the objection may be ineffective, e.g. if we can demonstrate compelling interests worthy of protection for the processing that outweigh your interests or processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. You also have the right to object to processing of your data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

If we collect or have collected and process personal data from you, you have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Exceptions to this requirement apply if the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us or you have expressly consented to the processing. In any case, we will take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on our part, to express our own point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority

A list of the supervisory authorities responsible in Germany can be found on the website of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection or at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

General information on data processing in the app

The following information applies to data processing in our app in general. If there are exceptions or additions to this information, these are described in detail in the respective sections.

Information on data security

We use technical and organizational measures to secure our app and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. This app uses encryption for these reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us as the app operator or communication between app users. However, despite regular checks, complete protection against all risks is not possible.

Our legitimate interest

Our legitimate interest, as defined in Article 6 (1) f GDPR, is based on the performance of our business activities in order to maintain our ability to operate and secure the employment of our employees.

General deadlines for data deletion

After the purpose of storage has ceased, the retention periods are generally at least six or ten years. As a rule, data is deleted immediately in accordance with our deletion concept, provided that this does not conflict with any retention obligation, necessity for contract fulfillment or a legitimate interest.

Deletion or blocking of personal data

We store your personal data only for the period required to fulfill the specified purpose. After the purpose no longer applies and after expiration of any existing retention periods, your data will be deleted immediately. If deletion is not possible, the data will be blocked instead.
