Who is responsible and how can I contact you?

Person responsible

for the processing of personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Schoppe, Zimmermann, Stöckeler, Zinkler, Schenk & Partner mbB

Data protection officer

What is it about?

This privacy policy fulfills the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Who receives my data?

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
the disclosure is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and
this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.

As part of the processing operations described in this Privacy Policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. In particular, US investigative authorities may oblige US companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to take effective legal action against this. This means that there is a fundamental possibility that your personal data will be processed by US investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. Data is transferred to the USA in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF). In cases where no adequacy decision of the European Commission exists (including US companies that are not certified under the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR have been agreed. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021. You can download a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE to view them. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security or if it is not possible to conclude the standard contractual clauses, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device and stored there when you visit our website. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. You can find detailed information on the cookies used in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

Information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR about the personal data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
Correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
Deletion in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you oppose the erasure of the data because you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or we will transmit the data directly to another controller if this is technically feasible.
Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding, compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR of your consent with effect for the future.
Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters.
