I. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We generally only collect and use our users' personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data generally only occurs with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

(4) The user’s IP address

(5) Date and time of access

(6) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

5. Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

Our legitimate interest in processing personal data for these purposes also lies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

(1) Surname and first name

(2) Company / Organization

(3) Email address

(4) Street, house number, postcode, city

(5) Telephone, mobile number

(6) Arrival date

(7) Departure date

Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data during the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.

Alternatively, you can contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if the user has given their consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted when sending an email is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

5. Possibility of objection and removal

The user has the option to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

In this case, all personal data stored during the contact process will be deleted.

V. Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by us.

If such processing takes place, you can request the following information from the controller:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

(2) the categories of personal data being processed;

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;

(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;

(6) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

(7) all available information as to their origin, where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you will be transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have the right to request rectification and/or completion from the controller if the personal data concerning you that are processed are incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification immediately.

3. Right to restriction of processing

You can request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of the use of the personal data instead;

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

(4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, these data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned requirements, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to delete

You may request that the controller delete the personal data concerning you immediately and the controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.

(4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.

(5) The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

(6) The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase them pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR, the controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by them of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist if processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously compromise the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, this controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you were disclosed of said rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless doing so should prove impossible or involve disproportionate expenditure.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have made available to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR and

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.

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

You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a 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 of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.

Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data during the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.

Alternatively, you can contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if the user has given their consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted when sending an email is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

5. Possibility of objection and removal

The user has the option to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

In this case, all personal data stored during the contact process will be deleted.

V. Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by us.

If such processing takes place, you can request the following information from the controller:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

(2) the categories of personal data being processed;

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;

(4) the planned duration for which the personal data concerning you will be stored or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria for determining that period;

(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;

(6) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

(7) all available information as to their origin, where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you will be transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have the right to request rectification and/or completion from the controller if the personal data concerning you that are processed are incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification immediately.

3. Right to restriction of processing

You can request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of the use of the personal data instead;

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

(4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, these data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned requirements, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to delete

You may request that the controller delete the personal data concerning you immediately and the controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.

(4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.

(5) The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

(6) The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase them pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR, the controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by them of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist if processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously compromise the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, this controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you were disclosed of said rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless doing so should prove impossible or involve disproportionate expenditure.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have made available to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR and

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.

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

You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a 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 of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.

Your personal application data will not be passed on without your prior, express consent.

If we are unable to offer you a position that is currently vacant, but believe, based on your profile, that your application may be of interest for future job openings, we will store your personal application data for twelve months, provided that you expressly consent to such storage and use.
