PRIVACY POLICY
I. General information on data processing

1. The scope of the processing of personal data
The controller takes care of the collection and uses the personal data of its users (hereinafter also referred to as the “involved person and/or the involved data subject”, the “data subject” or the ‘visitor’) only insofar as this will be required for the provision of a functional website and for the display of the content as well as of the performances. The collection and processing of the users’ personal data is regularly only done with the user’s consent. An exception shall be applied in cases in which the prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons, the processing is carried out on the basis of pre-contractual or contractual measures, the processing of the data is allowed by statutory provisions and/or there is a legitimate interest of the controller in the said processing.

2. The legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as the person responsible for processing personal data is granted the consent of the involved data subject, art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies as the legal basis for processing personal data. For any transfer to a non-secure third country, the processing will be carried out on the basis of what stated under art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
For the processing of personal data necessary for performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR shall apply as the legal basis. This also applies to processing that is necessary to implement pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required in order to fulfill a legal obligation to which the Controller is subject, art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR shall apply as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the Data Subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR shall apply as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR shall apply as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and duration of storage
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply or a granted consent is revoked by the involved data subject or there is an opposition to the respective processing. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations has elapsed, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

4. Data transfer to non-secure third countries
The transfer and processing of personal data of involved data subjects in a non-secure third country, such as for example the USA, shall take place under the conditions stated under art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR – based on the consent given by the involved data subject. For the USA (and other non-secure third countries), at the moment, no adequacy decision has been made by the EU Commission within the meaning under art. 45 para. 1, 3 GDPR. This means that the EU Commission has not yet positively determined that there is a level of data protection which is comparable to the requirements of the GDPR. In addition, the GDPR requires the so-called “suitable guarantees” for a data transfer to a third country or to international organizations, art. 46 para. 2, 3 GDPR. These can be, for example, company-internal data protection regulations which have been approved by a supervisory authority or standard data protection contracts. In summary, there is no level of data protection which is comparable to the requirements of the GDPR in the aforementioned non-secure third countries.

Risks of transfer to a non-secure third country

Personal data may possibly be passed on by the provider to other third parties who use the data for advertising purposes, for example, beyond the actual purpose of the fulfillment of the order. Furthermore, the effective enforcement of any rights of information against the subcontractor is probably not feasible. There may be a higher level of probability that incorrect data processing may occur, since the technical and organizational measures of the subcontractor for the protection of personal data do not completely meet the requirements of the GDPR when it comes to quantity as well as quality. It is also possible for public authorities to access the personal data provided without the knowledge of the involved data subject. This risk exists in particular when there is a data transfer to the USA. Generally speaking, this also corresponds to the European legal regulations, for example for the purpose related to security. However, the admissibility threshold for such data processing is higher in the European Union than in the involved country of the data recipient.
In the event the data is transferred on the basis of consent to processors whose processing takes place in a non-secure third country, a separate notice is provided by the respective service provider.

II. Right of the involved data subject

In the event we process personal data about you, you as an involved data subject have the following rights towards us in our function as controller:

1. Right to information, art. 15 GDPR
You have the right to (free) information about your collected and stored personal data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions. Among other aspects, this right includes information about their processing purposes, their origin and recipients, the period of storage and the existence of different rights.

2. Right to correct data, art. 16 GDPR
You have a right towards the controller to have your data corrected and/or completed in the event the personal data processed concerning your person is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller is required to make the correction and/or integration immediately.

3. Right to deletion, art. 17 GDPR
You are entitled to request the deletion of your personal data at any time under the conditions stated in art. 17 GDPR, unless there are still exceptions or circumstances which entitle the controller to continue the processing of your personal data (such as statutory retention obligations).
4. Right to restriction of processing, art. 18 GDPR
Within the framework of the provisions stated under art. 18 GDPR, you are entitled to request a restriction of the processing of your data. The prerequisite is one of the conditions set out under art. 18 para. 1 GDPR.

5. Right to information, art. 19 GDPR
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the data controller, they are obliged to inform 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 a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed as to these recipients by the data controller.

6. Right to data portability, art. 20 GDPR
In the event the said processing is carried out on the basis of the consent granted by us or on the basis of a contract and using automated procedures, you will be entitled to transfer the data provided by you within the scope stated under art. 20 GDPR whereby this applies provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. The said data shall be provided in a common as well as machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another data controller, this will only occur if it is technically feasible.

7. Right of objection, art. 21 GDPR
You have the right, for reasons arising from your specific situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time and which is carried out in accordance with art. 6 1 sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR; the same applies to profiling based on these provisions. The data controller will no longer process the personal data relating to you unless they can prove a compelling, legitimate reason for this which outweighs your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection according to art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
If the personal data relating to you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to such processing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to your data being processed for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes. (Objection according to art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object using an automated process involving the use of technical specifications.

8. Automated decision in individual cases, art. 22 GDPR
In accordance with art. 22 GDPR, 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 (1) is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller, (2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the data controller is subject, and that legislation is adequate to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or (3) is made with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data according to art. 9 1 GDPR unless art. 9 para. 2 a or g is applied and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedom as well as your legitimate interests. In the cases referred to in sections (1) and (3), the data controller will take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including, at a minimum, the right to obtain the intervention of an individual on the part of the data controller to state their own position and challenge the decision.

9. Right to withdraw your consent, art. 7 para. 3 GDPR
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. The legality of the data processing performed prior to your revocation of consent remains unaffected. You can send the revocation to the Controller by E-mail or by post.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or where the infringement is suspected, if you believe that the processing of personal data that concerns you is in contravention of GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the appeal is submitted will inform you about the status and results of the appeal, including the possibility of a judicial remedy in accordance with Art. 78 GDPR.
In the event you are in another federal state or if you are not in Germany, you can also get in touch with the local data protection authority. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
