Further details can be found in Part II.

3. For what purposes and on what legal basis do we process your data?

We process your data for the following purposes:

To ensure that our website is presented to you in the most effective way possible and to guarantee the stability and security of the website. This processing is based on the legal grounds of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR,
To provide you with our newsletter and information about other goods and services. This processing is based on the legal grounds of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and, where legally required, on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
To contact you as part of our customer service and to discuss any questions about our products or other inquiries. This processing is based on the legal grounds of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or lit. f GDPR,
To continuously improve our website and products by analyzing user and customer behavior, provided you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
To provide you with tailored advertisements, provided you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
To process and review your submitted application and to contact you regarding it. This processing is based on the legal grounds of § 26 BDSG or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or lit. f GDPR,
To comply with our statutory retention obligations or data protection obligations. This processing is based on the legal grounds of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR,
To exercise our legal rights or defend ourselves against claims, if necessary. This processing is based on the legal grounds of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Within the scope of the DPA, according to the principle of lawfulness (Articles 6, 30 DPA), private individuals are generally permitted to process data without an explicit legal basis, as long as they adhere to the general principles of data processing. These are defined in the DPA and include, for example, the principle of purpose limitation (data may only be collected and processed for a specific purpose) or the principle of data minimization (data must be limited to what is necessary for the purpose of processing).

4. To whom do we transfer your data?

In providing specific services, we also engage external service providers who process your data on our behalf. These include, in particular, technical service providers in the IT and telecommunications sector (e.g., provision and maintenance of IT systems).

Furthermore, we also disclose your data to other third parties who process your data under their own responsibility. Specifically, the following recipients or categories of recipients may receive your personal data:

Third-party providers whose cookies we use on our website. For a detailed overview, please refer to Part II,
Legal advisors, auditors, accountants, and other professional advisors,
Business partners and contractual partners, insofar as this arises from the contracts we have concluded with them,
Transaction partners and advisors in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or other business transactions in which we are involved,
Competent authorities, including tax authorities and courts (in Germany, Switzerland, and other countries), if we are legally obliged or authorized to disclose such data, or if this appears necessary to protect our interests.

5. Is your data transferred to recipients in a third country?

In connection with the transfers described in section 4, we may transfer your data to the following countries that offer adequate protection under the DPA and the GDPR: [EEA member states and United Kingdom].

To the extent necessary for the respective processing purpose, we also transfer your data to the following countries that do not offer adequate protection under the GDPR and/or the DPA: USA and potentially other countries. Particularly with third-party cookie providers such as Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn, your data is transferred to the USA, provided you have consented to this transfer.

For the level of data protection in third countries for which no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists under Art. 45 GDPR (for data transfers from the EU) or which have not been recognized under Annex I of the DPA (for data transfers from Switzerland), Art. 46 GDPR or Art. 16 para. 2 DPA provides adequate safeguards that ensure the protection of your data and the enforcement of your rights as a data subject, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). For transfers from Switzerland, the SCCs apply in their amended version with regard to the competent supervisory authority, the applicable law, the choice of jurisdiction and courts, and the possibility for data subjects in Switzerland to sue for compliance with their rights at their habitual place of residence (so-called "Swiss Finish"), insofar as the data transfer is subject to the DPA. Under the GDPR, you can request a copy of the relevant safeguards from us by contacting us as specified in section 1.

If no such safeguards apply, we rely on a legal exception (e.g., your consent, the transfer is directly related to the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract with you, or the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims before a foreign authority).

Nevertheless, in the absence of such adequate safeguards, the risk cannot be entirely excluded that your data may be disclosed to unauthorized third parties, possibly without any legal recourse.

6. How long do we retain your data?

We will only retain your data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above. Furthermore, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations arising, among others, from the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Tax Code (AO), the Swiss Code of Obligations, or other Swiss laws. The retention and documentation periods specified therein generally extend up to ten years. Finally, the storage duration is also determined by applicable statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), can be up to thirty years, with the regular limitation period being three years.

You can find the specific storage duration of the respective cookies in Part II of this privacy policy.

7. Was sind Ihre Rechte in Bezug auf Ihre Daten?

As a data subject, you can assert the following rights against us at any time. Please contact us using the contact details provided in section 1.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

If we process your data based on your consent, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. The lawfulness of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive your data, which we process by automated means based on your consent or for the performance of a contract with you, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to yourself or to a third party. Where you request the direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Right of access

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to your data stored by us and, where appropriate, a copy of this data.

Right to rectification

You have the right to request the immediate rectification of your data stored by us if these data are inaccurate or incomplete.

Right to erasure

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to request that we erase your data stored by us.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your data which is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing based on a balancing of interests). If you object, we will no longer process your data from that point on, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR and, where applicable, Art. 49 FADP) if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful. This right to complain exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

10555 Berlin
