2 SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

3 YOUR RIGHTS

(1) Every data subject shall have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

  • Right to erasure of the data stored about you, insofar as one of the conditions according to Art. 17 GDPR applies. Article 17(3) of the GDPR contains exceptions to the right to erasure for the exercise of freedom of expression and information, for the fulfilment of legal storage obligations, for reasons of public interest in the field of public health, for public archiving purposes, scientific, historical and statistical purposes and for the enforcement of legal claims.
  • Right to restriction of processing, in particular insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, for the duration of the verification of accuracy, if the data are processed unlawfully, but the data subject requests the restriction of processing instead of deletion, if the data subject needs the data to assert or exercise legal claims or for the defence against them and therefore cannot be deleted,  or if, in the event of an objection pursuant to Article 21(GDPR), it has not yet been established whether the legitimate interests of the controller override those of the data subject (Article 18 GDPR).
  • Right to object to the processing of personal data on personal grounds, unless there is an overriding public interest in the processing that outweighs the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 21 GDPR).

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.

(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we continue the processing.

7 Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.B. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

8 Registration with Facebook Connect

Instead of registering directly on this website, you can register with Facebook Connect. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected will also be transferred to the USA and other third countries.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website and forwarded to Facebook with the help of the tool described here, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR).

The advertisements can be adapted to the interests of the respective viewer with the help of DoubleClick. For example, our advertising may appear in Google search results or in banner ads associated with DoubleClick.

Further data will not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist by us or .dem newsletter service provider, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

11 Handling of applicant data

(1) We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.B. by e-mail or post). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

(2) If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.B. contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of job interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in the processing of your application.

The data is then deleted and the physical application documents are destroyed. The storage serves in particular for purposes of proof in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after expiry of the 6-month period (e.B. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place if the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

12 Use of Gravatar

Gravatar is used on our website.

Gravatar is a service where users can log in and store profile pictures and their email addresses. If users leave posts or comments with the respective e-mail address on other online presences (especially in blogs), their profile pictures can be displayed next to the posts or comments. For this purpose, the e-mail address provided by the users is transmitted to Gravatar in encrypted form for the purpose of checking whether a profile is stored for it. This is the sole purpose of transmitting the e-mail address. It will not be used for other purposes, but will be deleted afterwards.

The use of Gravatar is based on our legitimate interests, as with the help of Gravatar we offer the contribution and comment authors the opportunity to personalize their contributions with a profile picture.

By displaying the images, Gravatar learns the IP address of the users, as this is necessary for communication between a browser and an online service.

If users do not want a user image linked to their E-mail address at Gravatar to appear in the comments, they should use an e-mail address that is not stored with Gravatar to comment. We would also like to point out that it is also possible to use an anonymous or no e-mail address if the users do not want their own e-mail address to be sent to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment system; Service provider: Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA; Website: https://automattic.com; Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy.
