Security and Protection of Your Personal Data

We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. That is why we apply the utmost care and the latest security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed by both us and our external service providers.

Definitions

Legislators require personal data to be processed lawfully, in good faith, and in a manner that is comprehensible to the data subject ("legality, good faith processing, transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this data protection declaration:

3. Restriction of Processing

"Restriction of processing" is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

4. Profiling

"Profiling" is any type of automated processing of personal data, which consists in the fact that this personal data is used to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, analyze or predict personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or relocation of this natural person.

5. Pseudonymization

"Pseudonymization" is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

"File system" is any structured collection of personal data that is accessible according to certain criteria, regardless of whether this collection is managed centrally, decentrally or according to functional or geographical aspects.
