Data protection

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to us. In principle, our website can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration. We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone. 1. DEFINITIONS Our data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for directives and regulations when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms, among others: A) PERSONAL DATA Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she 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. B) DATA SUBJECT A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller. C) PROCESSING Processing is 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, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction. D) RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing. E) PROFILING Profiling is 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. F) PSEUDONYMISATION Pseudonymisation is 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. G) CONTROLLER OR PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR PROCESSING Controller or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on 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. H) PROCESSOR Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. I) RECIPIENT Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, 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. J) THIRD PARTY A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorized to process the personal data. K) CONSENT Consent is any freely given indication of the data subject's wishes for a specific case in an informed and unambiguous manner in the form of a statement or other unambiguous confirmatory act by which the data subject signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her. 2. NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE CONTROLLER FOR PROCESSING The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member states of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is: Domizil Team Kerstin Hornberger Untere Hofwiese 18 76889 Klingenmünster Mail:info@domizil-team.de Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that websites and servers can use to assign to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, we can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie. Cookies can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data every time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart using a cookie. The data subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable. 4. COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION Our website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that may be used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. We therefore evaluate this anonymously collected data and information statistically on the one hand and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. 5. ROUTINE DELETION AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements. 6. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT A) RIGHT TO CONFIRMATION Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. B) RIGHT TO INFORMATION Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data concerning him or her stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to information about the following: - the purposes of the processing - the categories of personal data concerned - the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations - where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period - the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing - the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority - where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information as to their source - the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject - Furthermore, the data subject has the right Person has the right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to receive information about the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of information, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. C) RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION Any data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to have inaccurate personal data concerning him or her rectified without undue delay. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed, even by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. D) RIGHT TO ERASURE (RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN) Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning him or her where one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary: The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to point (a) of Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to point (2) of Article 21(2) of the GDPR. The personal data were processed unlawfully. The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR. If one of the above reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by us, he or she may contact us at any time. We will comply with the erasure request immediately. If the personal data was made public by us and we as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR are obliged to erase the personal data, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. We will take the necessary steps in individual cases. E) RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies: The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead. The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by us, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. We will arrange for the restriction of processing. F) RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, common, and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact us at any time. G) RIGHT TO OBJECT Any data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, for reasons relating to his or her particular situation. This shall also apply to profiling based on these provisions. In the event of an objection, we shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This shall also apply to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to us processing the data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which we carry out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact us directly. Furthermore, in connection with the use of information society services, the data subject is free to exercise his or her right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC. H) AUTOMATED DECISIONS IN INDIVIDUAL CASES, INCLUDING PROFILING Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s 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 exercise his or her rights concerning automated decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. I) RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT UNDER DATA PROTECTION LAW Any data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw his or her consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. 7. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ON THE APPLICATION AND USE OF FACEBOOK The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores these personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, he or she can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed under https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook. 8. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ON THE APPLICATION AND USE OF GOOGLE The controller has integrated the Google button as a component on this website. Google is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests. The operating company of Google is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google button to download a display of the corresponding Google button from Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google receives information about which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google is available at https://developers.google.com/ /. If the data subject is logged in to Google at the same time, Google recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected through the Google button and assigned by Google to the respective Google account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Google buttons integrated on our website and thus gives a Google 1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google 1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. A Google 1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website will subsequently be stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google 1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in this account, in other Google services, such as the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, such as on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimising the various Google services. Google always receives information via the Google button that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Google at the same time when accessing our website; This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Google button or not. If the data subject does not want personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their Google account before calling up our website. Further information and Google's applicable data protection provisions can be found under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further information from Google on the Google 1 button can be found under https://developers.google.com/ /web/buttons-policy. 9. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ON THE APPLICATION AND USE OF LINKEDIN The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered users use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world. LinkedIn is operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the USA. With each access to our website, which is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding display of the LinkedIn component. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-ins can be found under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical procedure, LinkedIn receives knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits with each access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected through the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores these personal data. LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such a transmission of information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, they can prevent this by logging out of their LinkedIn account before accessing our website. LinkedIn offers the option of unsubscribing from e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads as well as managing ad settings under https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which can set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. LinkedIn's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn's cookie policy can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. 10. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ON THE APPLICATION AND USE OF TWITTER The controller has integrated components of Twitter on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and distribute so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 140 characters. These short messages are accessible to everyone, including people not logged in to Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Furthermore, Twitter enables the addressing of a broad audience via hashtags, links or retweets. The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter through the respective Twitter component. Further information about the Twitter buttons can be found under https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. As part of this technical procedure, Twitter receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose of the integration of the Twitter component is to enable our users to retransmit the contents of this website, to make this website known in the digital world, and to increase our visitor numbers. If the data subject is logged in to Twitter at the same time, Twitter recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter. Twitter always receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Twitter at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Twitter component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Twitter, they can prevent this by logging out of their Twitter account before accessing our website. Twitter's applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=de. 11. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If we are subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of ours or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interests. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR). 12. LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN THE PROCESSING PURSUED BY THE CONTROLLER OR A THIRD PARTY If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders. 13. DURATION FOR WHICH THE PERSONAL DATA ARE STORED The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract. 14. LEGAL OR CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF PERSONAL DATA; NECESSITY FOR CONCLUDING A CONTRACT; OBLIGATION OF THE DATA SUBJECT TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA; POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE DATA We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if we conclude a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences non-provision of the personal data would have. 15. EXISTENCE OF AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING We do not use automated decision-making or profiling. 16. Integration of third-party services and content It may happen that content or services from third-party providers, such as city maps or fonts from other websites, are integrated into our online offering. The integration of content from third-party providers always requires that the third-party providers perceive the user's IP address, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to the user's browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. Furthermore, the providers of third-party content can set their own cookies and process user data for their own purposes. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We will use this content as economically and data-avoidantly as possible and select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security. The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on data processing and, in some cases already mentioned here, options for objection (so-called opt-out): - External fonts from Google, Inc., https://www.google.com/fonts ("Google Fonts"). Google Fonts are integrated by calling a Google server (usually in the USA). Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/. - Maps of the "Google Maps" service provided by the third-party provider Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/. - Videos from the "YouTube" platform of the third-party provider Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/. 17. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Obligations of the data subject 24.1. No warning without contact! In the event of claims of any kind arising from copyright, competition law, trademark law, or data protection law matters, I ask that you contact me immediately to avoid unnecessary legal disputes, warnings, and costs. If claims of the above-mentioned type are asserted, I hereby promise to provide redress before a final, legally binding clarification, thereby conclusively excluding any risk of recurrence. Any invoice for legal costs incurred for a warning letter issued without prior contact would then be rejected due to non-compliance with the duty to mitigate damages. Warning letters and follow-up measures deemed unnecessary or unjustified in this sense would be met with a negative declaratory action. This also applies to warning letters that fall under Section 8 (4) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). Should the content or presentation of these pages infringe the rights of third parties or statutory provisions, I request that you notify me accordingly without incurring any costs. The removal of any possible infringement of intellectual property rights originating from these pages by the owners of intellectual property rights themselves may not take place without my consent.
