Information on the transferring of data to the USA and other non-EU members states

Some of the tools that we use come from companies that are registered in the USA or in other non-EU member states that are not safe as regards data protection. Our personal data can be transferred to these non-EU members states and be processed there should these tools be active. We wish to point out that a data protection level comparative with that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. US companies are under an obligation for example, to transfer personal data to security authorities, without you being able to contradict this before a court of law. It can therefore not be excluded that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) could process, analyse, and permanently store your data that are stored on US servers for monitoring purposes. We are unable to influence these processing activities.

Revocation of your data processing consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at all times. The legality of the data processing that has been carried out until then, is not affected by the revocation.

Right of appeal to the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of there being any infringements of the GDPR, the party concerned has the right to file an appeal with a supervisory authority, especially such as exists in the member state of habitual residence, the place of employment, or the place of the presumed infringement. The right of appeal exists irrespective of any other legal administrative law or courts of law remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to request that we provide you or a third party with the data that we process by automatic means on the basis of your consent in a standard machine-readable form. Should you request us to port the data direct to another responsible party, this shall be carried out as long as it is technically feasible.

Information, deletion, and rectification

Within the scope of the valid legal provisions, you have the right at all times to request information regarding the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data at no cost to yourself. You also have the right to demand a rectification or deletion of this data. Please contact us at all times should you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict the processing

You have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Please contact us at all times should you wish to have such a restriction carried out. The right to restrict the processing is valid in the following cases:
If you should contest the correctness of your personal data that we have stored, we normally need the time to check this. You are entitled to demand a restricted processing of your personal data for the duration of the check.
You can demand a restricted processing of the data processing instead of a deletion should the processing of your personal data be/have been unlawful.
Should we no longer require your personal data, but you require them in order for you to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand a restricted processing of your personal data instead of a deletion.
If you should have filed an objection conform with Art. 21 subsection 1 GDPR, consideration has to be given to your interests and ours. You have the right to demand a restricted processing of your data as long as it is not clear, whose interests have priority.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data can -with the exception of their storage- only be processed with your consent or in order to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims or in order to protect the rights of another natural or legal entity or due to the existence of important public interests of the European Union or a member state.
