Who we share your data with
Personal data may only be transferred to third parties based on legal permissions and within the legal requirements. We only transfer user data to third parties as long as this is, e.g., based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, required for contractual purposes, or when we make use of services within our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Provided that third parties are engaged in the processing of personal data under a “Data Processing Agreement”, this happens on the basis of Article 28 GDPR.
As far as we make use of third-party services in order to provide our own services, we take appropriate measures to ensure the protection of personal data according to the relevant legal requirements.
This may include the transfer of personal data to servers outside the EU or to trusted third parties located outside the EU in order to process this data on our behalf. Be aware that many countries do not offer the same legal protection of personal data as is the case within the EU. While your personal information resides in another country, courts, prosecution and national security authorities of the respective country can access your data in accordance with its laws.
Subject to such legitimate requests for access, we promise that everybody involved in the processing of your personal information outside the EU has to take measures in order to protect them and is only allowed to process them in accordance with our instructions and applicable EU law. We therefore only allow data to be processed in a third country provided that the specific preconditions of Article 44 ff. GDPR apply.
This means that data processing happens, e.g., based on special guarantees such as an officially acknowledged assessment in conformity with the EU’s level of data privacy (e.g., for USA, the so-called “Privacy Shield”), or based on compliance with specific contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
What rights you have over your data
(i) In accordance with Article 15 GDPR, to receive information about your personal data processed by us upon request; (ii) in accordance with Article 15 GDPR, to immediately request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data stored by us; (iii) in accordance with Article 17 GDPR, to request deletion of personal data stored by us as long as its processing is not required to exercise freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interests or to claim, exercise or defend legal rights; (iv) in accordance with Article 18 GDPR, to request limitation of processing of your personal data; (v) in accordance with Article 20 GDPR, to receive information on your personal data provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request its transmission to another responsible entity; (vi) in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR, to revoke your consent once given to us, effective for the future; (vii) in accordance with Article 77 GDPR, to complain to a supervisory authority. You can do this by approaching the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or place of work or the supervisory authority of our registered office.
Data security
All of your browser’s communication with our services is secured via an encrypted SSL connection in order to protect your data against unauthorized access by third parties. Only selected administrators can access your data and only to the extent as it is necessary to maintain the services.
Apart from that, we take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are constantly being improved according to technological development.
Our website includes links to some of our online profiles on the social media and blog/publishing platforms listed below. By implementing a simple linked graphic or text link instead of plug-ins, we prevent that data is being processed by the related platforms when you just visit our website. A connection to the respective platform is established only as a corresponding link is being clicked.
Once you are being redirected to a platform, data is collected and processed by the responsible provider. This includes usage data (e.g., access times, pages visited) as well as communication data (e.g., IP address, device information). If you have a user account with the respective platform provider and are logged in while clicking on the related link on our page, the provider may collect and process further personal data like name, address, email address, phone number, but also content data such as images, videos or text input, and associate this data with your personal user account.
To prevent your data from being linked with your personal user account, you need to make sure that you are either logged out from the related platform or that you have adjusted your user account settings accordingly before clicking the related link on our website.
Please note that your user data may be processed outside the EU (e.g., in the USA). This can lead to increased risks for you, e.g., with regard to accessing that data at a later point. It can neither be accessed by us. The access possibility lies with the platform provider only. Requesting information or exercising data subject rights will therefore best be addressed directly to the platform provider.
Please review the privacy policies of the individual providers for details on the applicable data protection regulations including the specific kinds of data processing or information on how to object.
