We are delighted that you are interested in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG. It is generally possible to use the websites of Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. 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, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.
As the controller, Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terminology used by the European legislators and regulators when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms in this privacy policy, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, 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 means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of provision, alignment or combination, 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 such 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.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or processor
The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, 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.

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.
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 authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

4. Cookies
The websites of Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG use 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 string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.
Cookies enable us to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of 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, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie used for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to 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.
4.1 Consent Management Platform
With Privacy Manager, we offer you the opportunity to decide in detail in which cases you want to consent to tracking via cookies and other technologies—for the purpose of displaying content relevant to you and advertising tailored to you.
The processing of your data for the above-mentioned purposes is partly based on legitimate interest, but in some cases we also require your consent.
In order to comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to provide you, the user, with the highest level of transparency, we participate in the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) of IAB Europe and adhere to its specifications and guidelines. To this end, we use the Consent Management Platform (CMP) from Sourcepoint Technology Inc., 228 Park Ave S #87903, New York 10003-1502, USA as a data processor. Sourcepoint is listed under identification number 6 within the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework. Sourcepoint's CMP enables you to give us your consent to the processing of your data in a manner that complies with data protection regulations and is self-determined, and to revoke this consent at any time. You can also object to data processing based on our legitimate interest.
When you visit our website, our Privacy Manager will ask you to configure your individual settings for the use of cookies. We store your settings for 90 days. Once this period has expired, you will be asked again to give your consent via the Privacy Manager. However, you can revoke your consent (opt-in) or refusal (opt-out) at any time. If you would like to change your settings in the meantime, you can access the Privacy Manager again via this link: click here.
Alternatively, you can adjust your settings again by deleting your browser's cookies. The consent tool will then be displayed again. Help on deleting cookies in different browsers can be found here:

5. Collection of general data and information
The website of Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG collects a range 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 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 referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are 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 serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (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. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG for statistical purposes and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
6. Deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to request that the controller delete personal data concerning them without delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
- The personal data was collected for purposes or processed in other ways for which it is no longer necessary.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that 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 using automated means, unless the processing is 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, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 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 provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the data protection officer at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG processing their data for direct marketing purposes, Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them carried out by Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer directly. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is 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 based on the data subject's explicit consent.

8. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google AdSense
The controller has integrated Google AdSense into this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables advertising to be placed on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party websites to match the content of the respective third-party website. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of Internet users, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.
The operator of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. Setting the cookie enables Alphabet Inc. to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and commission settlement. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in websites to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows statistical evaluation to be carried out. The embedded tracking pixel allows Alphabet Inc. to recognize whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the visitor flow of a website.
Google AdSense transfers personal data and information, including IP addresses, which is necessary for recording and billing the advertisements displayed, to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via technical procedures to third parties.
Google AdSense is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.
9. Data protection provisions regarding the use and application of Plausible Analytics
We use the analysis software Plausible Analytics, hereinafter referred to as Plausible, on our own servers to continuously optimize our offering, both technically and in terms of content. Plausible is GDPR-compliant open source software from Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403, Tartu, Estonia, registration number 14709274.
By using Plausible on our servers, we take a particularly data protection-friendly approach to analyzing your visit. For this purpose, the Plausible software collects the following information, among other things: the date and time of your visit, the title and URL of the pages visited, incoming links, the country you are in, and the user agent of your browser software. Plausible does not use or store cookies on your device. All personal data (e.g., your IP address) is stored completely anonymously in the form of a so-called hash. A hash is an encryption of data that is irreversible, meaning it can no longer be decrypted. This allows us to analyze your visit without storing personal data in a form that would be readable by us or others.
For more information on Plausible Analytics' data protection policy, please visit https://plausible.io/data-policy.
The legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
10. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, which are used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user enters a keyword-relevant search result in the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the predefined keywords.
The operator of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in Google search engine results, and to display third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject accesses our website via a Google ad, Google stores a so-called conversion cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website, provided that the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an AdWords ad has generated a sale, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of conversion cookies is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. We in turn use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time you visit our websites, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
11. Data protection provisions regarding the use of YouTube
The controller has integrated components from YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate, and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete films and television programs, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos created by users themselves, can be accessed via the Internet portal.
YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google become aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting when they call up a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time as visiting our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.
The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
12. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Facebook
The controller has integrated components from the company Facebook into this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests, among other things.
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 responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed, on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject accesses our website 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, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject's personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as visiting our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the person concerned. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the person concerned to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
13. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Twitter
The controller has integrated components from 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 280 characters. These short messages are accessible to everyone, including people who are not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the respective user's followers. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Furthermore, Twitter enables a broad audience to be addressed via hashtags, links, or retweets.
Operating company of Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on Twitter buttons is available at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. As part of this technical process, Twitter receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to disseminate the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world, and to increase our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is logged into Twitter at the same time, Twitter recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits each time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. 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 will be assigned to the data subject's personal Twitter user account 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 into Twitter at the same time as visiting our website; This occurs regardless of whether the person concerned clicks on the Twitter component or not. If the person concerned does not want this information to be transmitted to Twitter, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Twitter account before visiting our website.

14. Privacy policy regarding the use of DoubleClick
The controller has integrated components from DoubleClick by Google on this website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google, under which special online marketing solutions are primarily marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
DoubleClick by Google is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression, click, or other activity. Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the browser of the person concerned. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertising. Among other things, the cookie is used to place and display user-relevant advertisements and to create or improve reports on advertising campaigns. Furthermore, the cookie serves to prevent multiple displays of the same advertisement.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is necessary for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to track which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate placements. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to track conversions. Conversions are tracked, for example, when a user has previously seen a DoubleClick advertisement and subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same internet browser.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify campaigns with which the user has already been in contact.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and commission settlement. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to generate commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that the data subject has clicked on certain links on our website.
As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/.
15. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of 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 that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it 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).
16. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
17. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the initiation of a contract.
18. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the 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 result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide 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 explain to 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 the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
19. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
