Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle). The use of the website of Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle). With this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Additionally, this privacy policy informs data subjects of their rights.

Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle), as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or Controller Responsible for Processing
The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a specific inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third Party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and those who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

Website: marina-yogalifestyle.de

3. Cookies

The website of Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookie placement.

Using cookies allows the information and offers on our website to be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned earlier, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data every time they visit the website, as this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart through a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate settings in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the placement of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the placement of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

Each time the website of Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a range of general data and information is collected. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The data and information collected may include:
(1) the browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
(8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the continued functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated statistically and with the goal of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the controller are determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may initiate the transfer of the data to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, which will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the controller.

When registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject, the date, and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of these data occurs against the backdrop of ensuring that the misuse of our services can be prevented and that these data allow the investigation of offenses committed if necessary. In this respect, the storage of these data is required to secure the controller. These data are not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to transmit the data or the transmission serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services that can only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data specified during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the controller’s database.

The controller provides information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller corrects or deletes personal data upon request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory retention obligations. The data protection officer named in this privacy policy and the entirety of the controller’s employees are available as contacts for the data subject in this context.

6. Subscription to Our Newsletter

Users of the Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) website have the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter is specified in the input mask used for this purpose.

Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company’s offers via a newsletter. The newsletter can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter delivery. A confirmation email using the double-opt-in procedure will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter delivery for legal reasons. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected during a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. There is no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter delivery, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter delivery directly on the controller’s website or to communicate this to the controller in another way.

7. Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters of Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were clicked by the data subject.

The personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller to optimize the newsletter delivery and better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued through the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) as a revocation.

8. Contact via the Website

The Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) website includes information required by law to facilitate quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. These personal data are not transferred to third parties.

9. Comment Function on the Blog on the Website

Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on specific blog posts published on the controller’s website. A blog is a web-based, generally publicly accessible portal where one or more people, called bloggers, can post articles or write thoughts in blog posts. Blog posts can typically be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, not only the comments left by the data subject but also details of the time of the comment entry and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject are stored and published. Additionally, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the data subject is logged. The storage of the IP address is for security reasons and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. The storage of these personal data is therefore in the interest of the controller to enable exculpation in the event of legal violations. These personal data are not transferred to third parties unless required by law or necessary for the controller’s legal defense.

10. Subscription to Blog Comments on the Website

The comments posted on the Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commentator to subscribe to follow-up comments on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automatic confirmation email to verify, using the double-opt-in procedure, whether the owner of the specified email address has indeed opted for this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

11. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as required by the European Directives and Regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directives and Regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

The data protection officer or another employee of Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) will promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with.

If Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) has made the personal data public and is obligated as a controller pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle), considering available technology and the cost of implementation, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required.

The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle), they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer or another employee of Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) will arrange for the restriction of processing.

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning them that is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If Marina Yogalifestyle (Owner Marina Stützle) processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

13. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online meeting place operated on the Internet, a virtual community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plugin) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plugins can be accessed at the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook detects with every visit to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific subpage of our website the data subject visited. This information is collected by the Facebook component and associated by Facebook with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example, the “Like” button, or submits a comment, Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of the visit to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Additionally, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

14. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” add-on for web analytics through Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is anonymized by Google if the access to our Internet pages is from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website and to compile online reports showing the activities on our Internet pages, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, are stored. With each visit to our Internet pages, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as stated above, at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through JavaScript that any data and information about visits to Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

15. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and easy location of the places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy:

16. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor accesses the website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the website, or mouse movements by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses take place entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that such an analysis is occurring.
Data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam.

17. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Instagram

The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that can be categorized as an audiovisual platform, enabling users to share photos and videos and disseminate such data on other social networks.
The operating company of Instagram’s services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller, where an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Instagram, Instagram detects with each visit to our website by the data subject—which specific subpage was visited during their stay. This information is collected by the Instagram component and associated with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated into our website, the data and information transmitted are assigned to the personal Instagram user account and processed and stored by Instagram.
Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the Instagram component is clicked or not. If such transmission of information to Instagram is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

18. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of YouTube

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate, and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos, including complete movies and TV shows, music videos, trailers, and user-generated videos.

The operator of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Each time a page on this website that includes a YouTube component (YouTube video) is accessed, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube can be obtained at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During this technical process, YouTube and Google become aware of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of visiting a subpage containing a YouTube video, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website was visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google receive information through the YouTube component whenever the data subject visits our website while logged in to YouTube, regardless of whether they click on a YouTube video or not. If such transmission of information to YouTube and Google is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent it by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

19. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of the Fitogram Booking Tool

The controller has integrated components of the Fitogram GmbH booking tool on this website. Fitogram is a shop system and booking and payment tool for fitness studios. The widget is provided as part of our studio management by Fitogram GmbH, Im Klapperhof 7-23, 50670 Cologne, Germany.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Fitogram GmbH pursuant to Article 28(3) GDPR. Your data (user and booking data within our studio management system) is stored and processed exclusively on the data processing systems of Fitogram GmbH and their technical service providers according to our instructions and limited to the duration of the data processing agreement. Fitogram GmbH’s technical and organizational data protection measures can be found at https://content.fitogram.pro/. Any use of this data for purposes other than providing our studio management system and its widget is explicitly prohibited for Fitogram GmbH.

When booking services via the widget, it is necessary to provide personal data required for contract execution. Mandatory fields for booking are marked separately, while additional information is optional. The data you provide will be processed to fulfill your booking. The data protection provisions of Fitogram GmbH, which you can access at https://content.fitogram.pro/privacy/, apply to user profiles created as part of this process.

If you choose direct debit as your payment method, your payment data may be forwarded to our bank upon issuing a direct debit mandate. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. If you select an external payment service provider for payment, the respective provider’s privacy policies apply.

Please note that we are legally obligated by commercial and tax regulations to store your address, payment, and order data for ten years. However, we restrict processing of your data after two years, meaning it will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

20. Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of another service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example, in response to inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as tax compliance, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, such as when a visitor in our establishment is injured, and their personal details are shared with a doctor or hospital. In this case, processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where processing is necessary to pursue a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the data subject’s interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms do not override these interests. Such processing operations are permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. For example, a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

21. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

22. Period for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored

The criterion for determining the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period expires, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation.

23. Legal or Contractual Requirements for Providing Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., details of the contracting party).

Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data for contract conclusion, which we subsequently process. The data subject is, for example, obligated to provide personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject may contact our data protection officer, who will clarify whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, necessary for contract conclusion, or if there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of not providing the data.

24. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

This privacy policy was created by the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as an external data protection officer, in cooperation with IT and Data Protection Law Attorney Christian Solmecke.
