4. Use of other Services Offered

Additional data are collected and processed when visiting these websites only if you provide these data yourself in connection with the use of services offered separately on our websites. Please note that, in this context, there is fundamentally no legal or contractual obligation to provide your personal data. However, if you choose not to provide personal data, the use of our services may be restricted or excluded.

Contact via our Website

Due to legal requirements, our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general, so-called electronic mail (e-mail) address. If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or through a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be saved automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for purposes of processing or for contacting the data subject.

IV. Processing Purposes and Legal Basis as well as Legitimate Interest

When personalized services are utilized, we process the personal data you share with us for the purpose of providing the service you have requested.
We use the personal data collected in connection with the communication initiated via our contact form solely for purposes of processing or for contacting the data subject. Legal basis for this is the legitimate interest (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

V. Storage Duration and Routine Deletion

The legislature has issued a variety of retention requirements and retention periods. Typically, these are also the basis for the storage period for personal data. Upon expiry of these periods, the corresponding data are routinely deleted or their processing is restricted. If data are not affected, they will be deleted as soon as the respective uses no longer apply.
We save the personal data that you provide us within the context of the contact, subject to further processing purposes (for example, inquiry via the contact form) only until such time that your inquiry has been processed or pursuant to the in-house deletion period.

VI. Rights of Data Subjects

According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you, as the data subject, have various rights in connection with the collection and processing of your personal data, which we would like to explain below.
Fundamentally, these rights can be asserted by the data subject at any time. To assert these rights, and for questions in this regard, we ask that the data subject contact our person in charge (see point II). He will be happy to answer your questions and, in individual cases, take necessary measures to implement the rights asserted by the data subject without delay.

Right to Confirmation and Access

Every data subject has the right to request from the controller a confirmation of whether personal data about him have been processed. If that is the case, the data subject also has the right to receive, free of charge, information about his personal data that has been stored as well as a copy of that information.

Right to Rectification

Every data subject has the right to request immediate rectification of personal data about him that is incorrect. Further, he has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement — taking into account the purposes of the processing.

Right to Deletion

Every data subject has the right to request that the controller immediately remove personal data about him, if any of the following applies and if processing is not required:
• The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
• The data subject lodges an objection to the processing and there are no legitimate grounds for the processing.
• The personal data were unlawfully processed.
• The person responsible is otherwise required by law to delete.
• The personal data are those collected from children as part of information society services.
Insofar as we, the controller, have made the personal data public and are required to delete them, we will take the appropriate steps, under consideration of the available technology and the costs of implementation, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested deletion. In addition, we will inform these other controllers that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to these personal data, along with any copies or replications, to the extent that processing is not required.

Right to Restriction/Blocking of Processing

Every data subject has the right to request that the controller restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:
The accuracy of the personal is contested by the data subject, for a period of time that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful; the data subject rejects deletion of the personal data and demands instead that use of the personal data be restricted.
The controller no longer requires the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject requires them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The data subject has lodged an objection and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

Right to Data Portability

In principle, every data subject has the right to receive the personal data he has made available to a controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He also has the right to transmit these data to another controller without obstruction by the controller to whom the personal data were originally provided, insofar as the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing takes place using an automated process.
In addition, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, provided that it is technically possible and does not compromise the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to Object

Every data subject has the right, for reasons that arise from his particular situation, to object to the processing of his personal data, insofar as the processing is carried out to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or third parties.
In the case of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of his personal data for the purpose of such advertising. If the data subject objects to processing for direct advertising purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Right to Appeal
Independent of the above stated rights and independent of other remedies, every data subject has the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, if he believes that the processing of his personal data violates the data protection regulations.

VII. Data Security

Please note that data transmission via the internet is essentially unsecured. There is a possibility that transmitted data can be read and perhaps even falsified by unauthorized persons. For secure communication, we offer, by default, encrypted communication over the SSL protocol, which we use to transfer your personal data. In addition, we employ current technical and organizational measures to secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. These are always consistent with the current state of the art.

VIII. Transmission to a Third Country or an International Organization

When transferring data to external bodies in third countries, i.e. outside the EU or the EEA, we ensure that these bodies treat your personal data with the same care as within the EU or the EEA. We only transfer personal data to third countries where the EU Commission has confirmed an adequate level of protection or where we ensure the careful handling of personal data through contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees.

GENERAL

We link to our presences in social networks on this website. For this purpose, we have linked to a graphic of the respective network. 

No data is transmitted to the operators of the social networks when you load our website, but only when you actively follow the link to our profile on the respective social network. 

When you access our profile page on a social network, the operator of the social network may set cookies on your end device, regardless of whether you have an account with the network or whether you are logged in there. Cookies are data packets that mark the user’s end devices with a specific identifier. Cookies are primarily set in order to be able to display personalised advertising to visitors of the social networks, including our profile pages. 

This is done, for example, by displaying to the user on the pages of the social network advertisements from advertising partners of the social network whose websites the user has previously visited. In addition, cookies enable us to compile statistics on the use of our profile page (e.g. number of page views, user categories). 

If we receive such statistical analyses from the operator of the social network, the data is anonymised by the operator beforehand, i.e. it is not possible for us to assign usage data to an individual user. If you are logged in to the social network, however, the operator of the social network may be able to assign the visit to our profile on the social network to your account there. 

We have no influence on which data is collected and transmitted by the operator of the social network, to which third-party recipients a transmission by the operator of the social network takes place and how long the data is stored by the operator of the social network. In this regard, we refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network. 

FACEBOOK

If you access our Facebook fan page, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 D02 X525, Ireland (in the following: “Meta Platforms Ireland”), collects, stores and processes your personal data in accordance with Facebook’s privacy policy. You can find the privacy policy here: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/  

The purpose pursued by us in processing your data on our profile page on Facebook is to provide information about our offers and services and to respond to any inquiries on our profile page. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. To this extent, public relations work is covered by our legitimate interests within the meaning of the provision. 

Within the framework of the “Facebook Insights” function, Facebook may provide us with the following data categories, among others, in anonymised / statistical form for the purpose of performance measurement and optimisation of our Facebook presence: 

  • Predefined interactions on our fan page
  • Timestamp
  • Country/city of the user
  • HTTP language code
  • Age/gender group
  • Previously visited website (so-called referral URL)
  • End device of the user
  • Facebook user ID (if logged in)

With regard to the processing of insights data, there is a joint responsibility between Facebook and us, under which Facebook has assumed primary responsibility. This concerns the processing of insights data and the implementation of data subject rights. Please therefore contact Facebook directly regarding all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of insights data. We will forward any requests we receive in this regard to Facebook. Further details are set out in the Joint Controller Addendum, which can be found here: www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum 

You are not obliged to provide us with your data on our profile pages on social networks. If you do not want the operators of the social networks to collect data from you on our profile pages, you can prevent this by not accessing our profile pages. 

We delete private messages that you send to us via Facebook within one year of the last communication with you. Public posts from you (e.g. in our timeline) we keep published permanently until you explicitly request their deletion.

We would like to point out that Meta Platforms Ireland may transfer personal data to the USA. Meta Platforms Ireland obliges recipients outside the EU/EEA to comply with an appropriate data protection standard due to so-called EU standard contractual clauses. In addition, a transfer to a third country can also take place on the basis of the recognition of an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission (so-called adequacy decision).

On our Vimeo channel you can find videos or helpful tips about our offer. The customer service team also professionally answers users’ questions and comments on YouTube. 

Personal data is stored and processed by Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10001, USA (in the following: „Vimeo“), as operator of Vimeo, in accordance with Vimeo’s privacy policy. You can find the privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en  

The purpose pursued by us in processing your data on our channel on Vimeo is to provide information about our offers and services and to respond to any inquiries on our profile page. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. To this extent, public relations work is covered by our legitimate interests within the meaning of the provision. 

With the help of Vimeo’s analytics functions, it is possible for us to carry out certain statistical evaluations to optimise our channel. This includes, in particular, details on the most popular videos (e.g. user dwell time, ranking of videos), target groups (e.g. countries, language settings, age and gender, activity times) and the reach of our channel (e.g. where users were redirected to a video from) and impressions (e.g. how many users have seen a certain ad). It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users or access individual user profiles. 

You are not obliged to provide us with your data on our profile pages on social networks. If you do not want the operators of the social networks to collect data from you on our profile pages, you can prevent this by not accessing our profile pages. 

We delete private messages that you send to us via Vimeo within one year of the last communication with you. Public posts from you (e.g. in comments) we keep published permanently until you explicitly request their deletion. 

The provision of our services generally requires the involvement of instruction-dependent processors, such as data center operators or other parties. External service providers who process data on our behalf are carefully selected by us and strictly bound by contract. 

We would like to point out that personal data is transferred to the USA. We oblige recipients outside the EU/EEA to comply with an appropriate data protection standard on the basis of so-called EU standard contractual clauses. In addition, a transfer to a third country can also take place due to the recognition of an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission (so-called adequacy decision).

  • Right to revoke consent pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR
  • Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR
  • Right to rectification and completion according to Art. 16 GDPR
