2. Terms

The privacy statement is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”). The privacy statement shall be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:

2.1 Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2.2 Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing. 

2.3 Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

2.4 Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

2.5 Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

2.6 Controller or controller responsible for the processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

2.7 Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

2.8 Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

2.9 Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

2.10 Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which the data subject, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Provision of the website and creation of log files

When using the website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we automatically collect the following data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer each time the website is accessed:

  • IP address of the user
  • Information about browser type and version used
  • Operating system of the user
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user’s system accesses the website 
  • Remote log name and remote user for authenticated sessions
  • Content of the requests (specific pages)
  • Amount of data transferred in each case
  • Names of downloaded files

The data is stored in the log files of our server. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
When using this general data, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. The data is only evaluated statistically.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of log files is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The temporary storage of the data by the system is necessary in order 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.
  • optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it
  • ensure the functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
  • provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
  • The temporary storage of banner data by the system is necessary to comply with data protection regulations.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (f) GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose – in this case at the end of the usage process.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, which is why there is no possibility of objection.

4. Use of cookies

Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser by a web server as soon as you visit a website and are stored locally on your end device (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and stored on your computer and provide the user (i.e., us) with certain information. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Each cookie contains a characteristic string (so-called cookie ID) that allows the browser to be identified unambiguously when the website is called again.
Permanent (persistent) cookies remain stored even if the browser session is ended and can be called up again when you visit the website again. Cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted from it to us. Therefore, you also have full control over the use of cookies. If you do not wish data to be collected via cookies, you can set your browser via the menu under “Settings” so that you are informed about the setting of cookies or generally exclude the setting of cookies or can also delete cookies individually. However, please note that deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Session cookies are automatically deleted after you leave the website. 
When you access our website, you will be informed about the use of cookies and your consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context will be obtained. In this context, reference is also made to this privacy statement.

4.3 Technically necessary cookies

On the one hand, we use technically necessary cookies to keep the website functional. Some elements of our website require the browser calling it to be identified after the user moves to another page. On the other hand, we use technically necessary cookies to ensure the security of the website, to display the website correctly, to store consent and to make our website more user-friendly. User data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles. Information about the cookies we use can be found in the cookie banner. You can also access the information at any time by clicking on “Change privacy settings” in the footer.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies within the meaning of Section 25 (2) TTDSG is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR.  

4.3 Technically unnecessary cookies

We also use technically unnecessary cookies on our website,

  • which enable an analysis of your surfing behavior
  • for the user-friendly use of our website by integrating third-party cookies (YouTube, Google Maps).

The purpose of using technically unnecessary cookies is to improve the quality of our website and its content.  The following data, among others, is collected: Search terms entered, frequency of page views, use of certain website functions.
Section 25 (1) TTDSG further stipulates that the storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information that is already stored in the terminal equipment is only permitted if the end user has consented on the basis of clear and comprehensive information. Consent must be given in accordance with the GDPR.
According to Section 25 (2) TTDSG, consent is not required in very limited exceptional cases, e.g.

  • if the sole purpose of storing information in the end user’s terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end user’s terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a communication over a public telecommunications network.
  • if the storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user’s terminal equipment is strictly necessary to enable the telemedia service provider to provide a telemedia service explicitly requested by the user.

Accordingly, cookies that are not technically necessary require consent. 
Information about the cookies we use can be found in the cookie banner. You can also access the information at any time by clicking on “Change privacy settings” in the footer.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically unnecessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if consent has been given. 
You can configure your cookie settings in your browser. Furthermore, you can change the cookie settings at any time via our consent banner, which is displayed in the corner, and thus revoke your consent.

5. Consent banner/ real cookie banner

We use the consent banner of devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, D-94538 Grafling., GERMANY.

The data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of its collection has been fulfilled. 
The data is stored until you either ask us to delete it, deactivate or delete the cookie yourself (see Section 4) or until the respective cookie expires.

6. E-mails

You are welcome to contact us by e-mail. In this case, personal data which is transferred with the e-mail is stored. If this involves information on communication channels (e.g., e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may also contact you via this communication channel in order to respond to your request. This personal data is not transmitted or made available to third parties. The data is used exclusively for the purpose of processing the conversation.
The legal basis for processing data which is transmitted when sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (f) GDPR. If the objective of the e-mail contact is to make a contract, the additional legal basis for processing the data transferred is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (b) GDPR.
We will, of course, use the data from your e-mail inquiries exclusively for the purpose for which you provide it to us when contacting us. The other personal data processed during sending is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems. This is also our legitimate interest.
The data shall be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the situation concerned has been conclusively clarified. The additional personal data collected during sending will be erased after a period of seven days at the latest. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the execution of a contract, the data will be deleted after expiry of the statutory (commercial or tax law) storage periods required for this purpose.
You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of the e-mail and its content at any time. In such cases, the conversation cannot be continued. Please contact the controller in accordance with Section 1. However, this revocation option only exists if the e-mail contact does not serve to prepare or execute a contract.

7. Newsletter

With your consent, you can subscribe to our free newsletter, by means of which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are specified in the declaration of consent. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an email to the e-mail address you have provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. In addition, we store the IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address, your title, and your date of birth. The provision of other data is voluntary and is used to address you personally.
The data will not be forwarded to third parties.
We use Mailpoet to send our newsletter. However, the data is not stored on the Mailpoet provider’s servers, but on the web server (see Section 9.2).
The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter.
The legal basis for the processing of data after the user has subscribed to the newsletter is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (a) GDPR if consent has been given. The legal basis for sending the newsletter based on the customer relationship is Art. 7 (3) UWG. The use of the mailing service provider, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (f) GDPR. 
The purpose of collecting the user’s email address is to deliver the newsletter. The salutation is used to address you personally. The date of birth is used to ensure the minimum age for consent in accordance with Art. 8 GDPR. The collection of other personal data (IP address, time of registration/confirmation) as part of the registration process is used to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
The data shall be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Your e-mail address and other personal data will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. Other personal data collected during the registration process (IP address, time of registration/confirmation) will generally be deleted after a period of seven days.
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time and thus revoke your consent by clicking on the “Unsubscribe from newsletter” button in our newsletter unsubscribe form or by sending us an e-mail  e-mail or a message to the contact details provided in the imprint. This also enables you to withdraw your consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process (IP address, time of registration/confirmation). When you unsubscribe from the newsletter, we will simultaneously delete your data in MailPoet and the statistical analyses. Unfortunately, it is not possible to revoke the sending of the newsletter by  MailPoet or the statistical analysis separately.

8. Registration 

We offer you the opportunity to register on our website by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask, transmitted to us, and stored. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal or legal prosecution. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:

  • E-mail address
  • IP address
  • Date and time of registration
  • Participation status
  • Query of a willingness to be listed
  • Salutation
  • First name and surname
  • Organization/ Company
  • Country
  • Booking content
  • Message
  • Address

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to register. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
The mandatory data collected is required to fulfill the contract with the user (for the purpose of sending the goods and confirming the content of the contract). We therefore use the data to answer your inquiries, to process your order, to collect a debt if necessary and for the purpose of technical administration of the websites. 
If you use the portal, your subsequent data may become accessible to other participants in the portal in accordance with the contractual performance. 
The data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or for billing purposes or for the collection of payment or if you have expressly consented to this. In this respect, we only pass on the data required in each case. Data recipients are

  • the respective delivery/shipping company (forwarding of name and address)
  • payment institutions
  • credit card companies
  • processors (provider of the booking software, IT service provider)

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (b) GDPR. With regard to the voluntary data, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (a) GDPR. The legal basis for the listing is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (a) GDPR, by giving your consent to the listing when you register. The data will be stored for as long as you are logged into the portal. You can revoke the use and utilization of the data by us at any time. In this case, as well as in the event of deletion of your portal access, we will immediately delete your data in the listing. 
Registration is necessary for the provision of certain content and services on our website as well as for the prevention of misuse and, if necessary, for the investigation of criminal offenses. Registration is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures.
The data shall be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to store your address, payment, and order data for a period of ten years after the execution of the contract. However, we will restrict processing after six months, i.e., your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. If there is a continuing obligation between us and the user, we store the data for the entire term of the contract and for a period of ten years thereafter (see above). With regard to the data provided voluntarily, we will delete the data six months after the contract has been executed, unless another contract is concluded with the user during this time. In this case, the data will be deleted six months after the last contract has been executed. If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion. Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the controller’s database by explaining your revocation to the controller in accordance with Section 1 by e-mail or post. In this case, your data will be deleted immediately.

9. PayPal

We have integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if you do not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If you select “PayPal” as a payment option during the ordering process in our online store, your data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, you consent to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually include first name, surname, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data that is necessary for processing the purchase contract is also data that is related to the respective order.
The transmission of data is intended to process payments and prevent fraud. We will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission.
PayPal may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal
The data subject has the option to revoke consent to the handling of personal data from PayPal at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. 
The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

10. SSL encryption

Our website uses SSL encryption for the transmission of confidential or personal data. This encryption is used, for example, for payment transactions and when contractors send us inquiries via this website. You are responsible for monitoring this to ensure that this encryption is actually active. The status of the encryption can be recognized by the browser line, which changes from “http://” to “https://” when encryption is active. If encryption is active, your data cannot be read by third parties. If encryption is not active, please contact us in confidence via another contact option.

11. Passing on personal data to third parties

11.1 Links to external websites

This website contains links to external websites. We are responsible for our own content. We have no influence on the content of external links and are therefore not responsible for it, in particular we do not adopt their content as our own. If you are directed to an external website, the associated privacy statement applies. If you notice any illegal activities or content on this website, you are welcome to notify us. In this case, we will check the content and react accordingly (notice and take down procedure).

11.2 Rented server space

We would like to point out that we use a rented server space from the provider Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, D-91710 Gunzenhausen, GERMANY, www.hetzner.com. When visiting the website, the server space provider will be automatically informed. This information is automatically stored in so-called server log files (see Section 3), which are automatically transmitted by your browser. Further information about the data can be found in Section 3. 

11.3 Google Maps

We use Google Maps on this website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently. When visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website.
For this purpose, we use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our website, no personal data is initially passed on to Google Maps. Google will be informed that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering only if you consent to the transfer and thereby activate it. However, the information will only be passed on if you give your consent in the consent banner. 
The following data is transmitted:

  • Device-specific information, such as hardware used; version of the operating system; unique device identifier and information about the mobile network, including your telephone number.
  • Log data in the form of server logs. This includes, but is not limited to, details of how the services were used, such as search queries; IP address; hardware settings; browser type; browser language; date and time of your request; originating page; cookies that uniquely identify your browser or Google account.
  • Location-based information. Google may collect information about your actual location. This includes, for example, your IP address, your WiFi access points or cell towers.
  • Further information on the data collected by Google, INC can be found at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (a) GDPR. An agreement has been concluded with the US. The European Commission currently assesses the US as a country with an adequate level of data protection, provided that the company concerned has certified itself under the agreement. Google has certified itself. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button.
You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. To exercise this right, you must contact Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St., Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The duration of storage depends on Google’s storage periods.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy statement. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

11.4 Embedding YouTube videos

We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc. 
We initially integrate YouTube as an inactive tool. If you wish to watch the videos, you must be aware that data will be transmitted to YouTube. We inform you about this in the video and in our cookie banner. Only if you then agree can you load the video – and then data will be transferred.
We have no influence on this data transfer. When visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. The following data is transmitted:

  • Device-specific information, such as hardware used; version of the operating system; unique device identifier and information about the mobile network, including your telephone number.
  • Log data in the form of server logs. This includes, but is not limited to, details of how the services were used, such as search queries; IP address; hardware settings; browser type; browser language; date and time of your request; originating page; cookies that uniquely identify your browser or Google account
  • Location-based information. Google may collect information about your actual location. This includes, for example, your IP address, your WiFi access points or cell towers.
  • Further information on the data collected by Google, INC can be found at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

This takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (a) GDPR. An agreement has been concluded with the US. The European Commission currently assesses the US as a country with an adequate level of data protection, provided that the company concerned has certified itself under the agreement. Google has certified itself.
The integration of the videos is intended to make the website more vivid for the user and to increase the search engine ranking of the website on Google and to refer more specifically to our specially produced videos. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website.

12. Web analysis using the WP-Statistics plugin

We use the statistics tool of the WordPress plugin WP-Statistics on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software places a cookie on the user’s computer (for cookies, see Section 4). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

  • Anonymized IP address
  • Duration of the visit
  • Clicking behavior
  • Other access statistics

The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but only in abbreviated form. In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the accessing computer. The data is therefore only stored anonymously on the web server. Personal identification is not possible.
Further information can be found at: https://wp-statistics.com/privacy-and-policy/
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) s. 1 (a) GDPR.
The processing enables us to analyze your surfing behavior. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, this is the case after twelve months.
The used cookies are stored on the user’s computer and are transferred by it to us. You have the option of revoking your consent to the processing of personal data at any time by preventing the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation or restriction).

  • You withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground 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.
  • Your personal data has been unlawfully processed.
  • Your personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in European Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • Your personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

If the controller has made your personal data public and if he is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, he shall take the appropriate steps, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform controllers responsible for data processing who process the personal data that you, as a data subject, has demanded the erasure of all links to such personal data or copies or duplicates of such personal data.
The right of erasure does not exist if processing is necessary

  • to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  • to fulfill a legal obligation required by the law of the European Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject, or to implement a task in the public interest or in the exercise, of the official authority conferred on the controller;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with 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
  • to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

13.5 Right to information 

If you have the right of rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing in relation to the controller, the latter is obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification/erasure/restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or requires disproportionate effort. You are entitled to require the controller to reveal the identity of these recipients to you.

13.6 Right to data portability

You shall have the right to receive the personal data that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, you shall have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where:

  • 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 your right to data portability, you shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not impair the freedoms and rights of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary to implement a task of public interest or in the exercise of the official authority conferred on the controller.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact the controller at any time.

13.7 Right to object

You shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you shall have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the controller directly. 

13.8 Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under privacy law

You shall have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under privacy law at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. For this purpose, you can contact the controller.

13.9 Right to automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You shall 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 shall not apply if the decision:

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

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, it can contact the controller at any time.
