9. Our Obligations

Among our obligations is the principle of accountability, with regard to the principles governing the processing of PD (legitimacy, objectivity and transparency, purpose limitation, minimization of PD, accuracy of PD, storage period limitation, security, integrity, and confidentiality).

We process PD only if one of the following legal requirements (legal basis) applies. We determine the legal basis for processing your personal data depending on the purpose for which we have collected and used your personal data. In any case, the legal basis may be:

• CONSENT: the data subject (you) has consented to the processing of PD (e. g. you have given your consent for us to send you newsletters). You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your PD at any time by contacting us at the details listed in §13 “Contact us”.
• CONTRACT IMPLEMENTATION: where the processing of PD is necessary for the implementation of a contract to which the natural person (you) is a party or to take steps at the request of the natural person prior to entering into a contract.
• LEGISLATION COMPLIANCE: where processing is necessary for us to comply with legal requirements (e. g. labor or tax legislation).
• OUR INTENDED INTERESTS: processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller (us) unless the interest or fundamental rights and freedoms of the natural person (you) prevail. When it is necessary to understand our customer, promote our products/services and operate our websites and applications effectively. For example, we will rely on our legitimate interest when analyzing the content viewed on our websites and apps to understand how they are used. It is also in our legitimate interest to conduct marketing analyses to determine which products and services may be relevant to the interests of our customers and potential customers.

In addition, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the individual (you), the company (us) and our partners from unauthorized access or alteration, tampering or destruction of the PD in our possession. Specifically:

• We encrypt many of our services.
• We control data collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to protect against unauthorized access to systems and processes.
• Access to the PD is limited and controlled, and those with access are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations.
• Where external partners (for maintenance or support purposes) have potential access to PD, relevant annexes to existing cooperation agreements cover the requirements of the Regulation.

Throughout the entire PD processing cycle (from collection to destruction of PD) we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of PD. We require similar measures from third parties that handle or process PD.

Our services, products and website are not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly process PDs of children under the age of 16.

10. Access to your own information

As part of your rights under the Data Protection Regulation, you can request the updating, correction or restriction of processing or deletion of your own PD (see your rights in Section 8).

You can exercise your rights by contacting us at the contact details listed in the “Contact Us” section (section 13) by requesting a Subject Access Request (SAR) form, completing it and sending it to us. We are obliged to reply to you within one month of receiving your request.
