7. all available information about the origin of the data when personal data is not collected from the data subject;
8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 par. 1 and 4 GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organisation. In this context, you can request the appropriate guarantees according to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have a right against the controller to rectification and/or completion, if your personal data processed is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction immediately.

3. Right to the restriction of processing

You have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

1. 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;
2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
4. you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 par. 1 GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted, such personal data shall – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If restriction of processing has been obtained pursuant to the conditions set out above, you shall be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation of erasure

You can demand the controller delete your personal data without delay, and the controller is required to delete that information immediately if one of the following applies:

1. Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
2. You revoke your consent to the processing pursuant to Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. a or Article 9 par. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for processing.
3. You oppose the processing according to Article 21 par. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding justifiable reasons for the processing, or you oppose the processing according to Article 21 par. 2 GDPR.
4. Your personal data was unlawfully processed.
5. The deletion of your personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
6. Your personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8 par. 1 GDPR.

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it according to Article 17 par. 1 GDPR, the controller shall, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, take appropriate measures, including technical means, to inform data controllers who process your personal data that you as data subject have requested all links to such personal data, or copies or replications of such personal data, to be deleted.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary:

1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9 par. 2, as well as Article 9 par. 3 GDPR;
4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 par. 1 GDPR insofar as the right referred to in item a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
5. for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to be informed

If you have the right of rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, he/she is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have a right against the controller to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability

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

1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR or Article 9 par. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR, and
2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you shall have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected by this right.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority which has been delegated to the controller.

7. Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6 par. 1 lit. 2 or f GDPR; this is also valid for profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing; this includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

You may, in the context of the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to revoke the data protection declaration of consent

You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the existence of consent prior to consent being revoked.

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

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

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9 par. 1 GDPR unless Article 9 par. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

With regard to the cases named in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to uphold the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to express his/her own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider the processing of your personal data to infringe the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint is lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, we process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The processing of users’ personal data takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis.

Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as legal basis.

In cases where the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interest, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Article 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing.

3. Deletion of data and storage period

The data subject’s personal data shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. In addition, such storage may occur when provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also occurs when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

The integrated Instagram buttons are used by us to link to our Instagram profile. A widget is also integrated, which allows us to show certain photos and videos from our Instagram profile on our website.
When you visit one of our pages that contain such a plugin, your browser connects directly to an Instagram server. The contents of the plugins are directly transmitted by this to your browser and are integrated into the website. This automatically transfers data to Instagram and stores it on their servers. This data includes connection information (e.g. your IP address, date and time, URL visited), the browser you are using, and the operating system. Your visit to our website can be tracked by Instagram, even if you do not actively use the plugin features.
If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our website to your Instagram profile by clicking on the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our website with your user account. If you want to prevent this instant mapping, you must sign out of Instagram before visiting our website.
