The following principles apply to all processing operations about which information is provided in this privacy policy:

1.6.2.1 Purpose and scope of the processing of personal data

Personal data is only collected for the specified purposes. The scope of processing is limited to what is necessary for the purposes of processing. The controller reserves the right to process personal data if and insofar as this is necessary to safeguard its legitimate interest in the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Contract fulfillment or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR)
Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR)
Safeguarding a legitimate interest on our part or on the part of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)

1.6.2.3 Storage period of personal data

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

1.6.2.4 Recipients of personal data

Recipients of personal data of data subjects are generally only the controller and processors employed by the controller in compliance with data protection law. Data may also be passed on to third parties if the controller is entitled to do so by virtue of a permission standard or is obliged to do so due to statutory provisions, administrative or judicial orders.

1.6.2.5 Transfer of personal data to third countries

If personal data of data subjects are transferred to countries outside the European Union (EU) or outside the European Economic Area (EEA), this will only take place if there is an adequate level of protection (Art. 45 GDPR) or suitable guarantees (Art. 46 GDPR) or under the conditions of Art. 49 GDPR for exceptions in certain cases.

You may request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data or, taking into account the purposes of processing, the completion of your stored personal data.

1.6.3.4 Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)

You may request the deletion of your stored personal data if the purpose of the processing has ceased to exist due to the passage of time or other reasons, if you have revoked your consent or objected to the processing and there are no overriding reasons for the processing or other legal bases, if the legal basis for the data processing is missing or has ceased to exist and the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. If we have made your data public, we are obliged to take reasonable steps to inform each recipient that you have requested the deletion of all links to or copies of the personal data concerned.

You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us on the basis of your consent or a contract concluded with us, which is processed using automated procedures, in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another person responsible, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons and is technically feasible.
