The following overview summarizes the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing and refers to the data subjects.
Key legal bases according to the GDPR: Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR, on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or establishment. Furthermore, if more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.
Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes.
Contractual performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. This includes in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG). The BDSG contains special regulations concerning the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes, transmission, and automated individual decision-making including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.
Reference to the applicability of the GDPR and Swiss DPA: These data protection notices serve both as information under the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (Swiss DPA) and under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, please note that due to broader spatial application and comprehensibility, the terms of the GDPR are used. In particular, instead of the terms “processing” of “personal data”, “predominant interest”, and “particularly sensitive personal data” used in the Swiss DPA, the terms “processing” of “personal data” as well as “legitimate interest” and “special categories of data” used in the GDPR are used. However, the legal significance of the terms continues to be determined within the scope of the applicability of the Swiss DPA according to the Swiss DPA.
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk
to ensure.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and its separation. We have also set up procedures to ensure that the rights of those affected are exercised, data are deleted and responses are made to data threats. We also take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.
As part of our processing of personal data, the data may be transmitted to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or individuals. The recipients of this data may include: B. service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we observe the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts.
Agreements designed to protect your data with the recipients of your data.
Data processing in third countries: If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or if processing occurs within the framework of using third-party services or disclosing/transferring data to other individuals, entities, or companies, it is carried out only in accordance with legal requirements. If the level of data protection in the third country has been recognized by means of an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), this serves as the basis for data transfer. Otherwise, data transfers only occur when the level of data protection is otherwise ensured, particularly through standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR), explicit consent, or in the case of contractual or legally required transfers (Art. 49 para. 1 GDPR). Additionally, we will inform you of the basis for third-country transfers with each provider from the third country, with adequacy decisions taking precedence as the basis. Information on third-country transfers and existing adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the European Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de. EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework: As part of the so-called “Data Privacy Framework” (DPF), the European Commission has also recognized the level of data protection as safe for certain companies from the USA under the adequacy decision of 10.07.2023. The list of certified companies, as well as further information on the DPF, can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/ (in English). We will inform you within the scope of the data protection notices which service providers we use are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.
Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: You, as data subjects, have various rights under the GDPR, particularly arising from Articles 15 to 21 of the GDPR:
· Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. If personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a consent management solution to obtain user consent for the use of cookies or for the procedures and providers mentioned in the context of the consent management solution. This process serves to obtain, log, manage, and revoke consents, particularly regarding the use of cookies and comparable technologies used to store, retrieve, and process information on users’ devices. As part of this process, user consent is obtained for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing and providers mentioned in the consent management process. Users also have the option to manage and revoke their consents. The consent declarations are stored to avoid repeated queries and to be able to provide evidence of consent in accordance with legal requirements. Storage is done server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie) or using similar technologies to associate consent with a specific user or device. If there are no specific indications of providers of consent management services, the following general information applies: The duration of consent storage is up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, which is stored together with the time of consent, information about the scope of consent (e.g., relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as information about the browser, system, and device used; Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
