For such cases where we obtain agreement by the user for the processing of their personal data, article 6(1)(a) of the EU-GDPR serves as a legal basis.

Article 6(2)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis where the processing of a user’s personal data is required for the fulfilment of a contract, whereof said user is the contracting party. This is also effective for processing procedures which are necessary for pre-contractual measures. 

Should a processing of personal data be required for reasons of legal obligations, which our company is subject to, article 6 (1)(c) GDPR serves as legal basis.

Should vital interests of said user or of another natural person require a processing of personal data, article (6)(d) GDPR serves as legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedom of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interests, article 6 (1)(f) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing.

3.      Data deletion and storage duration

8.      Right to revoke the declaration of consent to the data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under German data protection law at any time. Revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

9.      Automated case-by-case decision-making including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has legal effect on you or significantly affects you in a similar manner. This provision shall not be effective in such cases where the decision

(1) is required for the formation or fulfilment of a contract between you and the responsible;

(2) is justified under European Union or national legislation to which the responsible is subject and provided that such legislations provide for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

(3) is made with your express permission.

However, such decisions are not allowed to be based on particular categories of personal data pursuant to article 9 (1) GDPR, provided that neither article 9 (s)(a) nor (g) are effective and that adequate measures for the protection of your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

Concerning the clauses described in (1) and (3), the responsible will take adequate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and rightful interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of the responsible, to present his point of view and to contest the decision.

10.  Right to 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 in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the suspected infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint was made will inform the appellant about the state and results of the complaint including the possibilities of a judicial remedy under article 78 GDPR.
