Privacy policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of MP Media Ventures GmbH. The use of the internet pages of MP Media Ventures GmbH is possible without entering any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary 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, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to MP Media Ventures GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, MP Media Ventures GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of the personal data processed via this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

The privacy policy of MP Media Ventures GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. In order to ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this Privacy Policy, we use the following terms, among others:

a) Personal data

The websites of MP Media Ventures GmbH use 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 by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, MP Media Ventures GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and services on our website can be optimized in the sense of the user. Cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website, as mentioned above. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data every time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

The website of MP Media Ventures GmbH collects various general data and information with each page request by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The browser types and versions used (1) can be recorded, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, which 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 other data (8) other data, which are designed to prevent attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, MP Media Ventures GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functioning of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated statistically by MP Media Ventures GmbH on the one hand and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

On the website of MP Media Ventures GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

MP Media Ventures GmbH regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company's offers by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter sending. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered for the first time by a data subject in the sending of the newsletter using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to verify that the owner of the e-mail 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 used by the data subject at the time of registration by the Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected in the context of a subscription to the newsletter will only be used for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail, if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for a related registration, as could be the case in case of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. The personal data collected within the framework of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the sending of the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller of this in any other way.

We use the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d / b / a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/) to send newsletters. The provider acts as a processor on our behalf. In this context and for the purpose of sending the newsletter we transmit data to this service provider in the USA. To ensure an adequate data protection level, we have entered into a data processing contract with the service provider based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If you are interested, this data processing contract can be accessed at the following Internet address:https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/.

The newsletters of MP Media Ventures GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, MP Media Ventures GmbH can detect if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the sending of the newsletter and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the relevant separate declaration of consent made via the double opt-in procedure. After a withdrawal, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. MP Media Ventures GmbH automatically interprets a cancellation of the newsletter as a revocation.

The controller shall only process and store the data subject's personal data for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in the laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

The controller has integrated components of the company AddThis on this website. AddThis is a so-called bookmarking provider. The service allows a simplified book marking of websites via buttons. By overrunning the AddThis component with the mouse or clicking it, a list of bookmarking and sharing services is displayed. AddThis is used on more than 15 million websites, and the buttons are displayed more than 20 billion times a year, according to the operating company.

AddThis is operated by the Oracle Corporation, 10 Van de Graaff Drive, Burlington, MA 01803, USA.

Any page request of individual pages of this website operated by the controller on which an AddThis component has been integrated, will automatically result in the internet browser to initiate the download of data from the website www.addthis.com to the information technology system of the data subject. In the course of this technical procedure, AddThis becomes aware of the visit and which specific page of this website is used by the information technology system used by the data subject. In addition, AddThis becomes aware of the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject, the browser type, the browser language, the website accessed before our website, the date and time of the visit to our website, which is provided by the Internet service provider (ISP). AddThis uses this data to create anonymized user profiles. The data and information transmitted to AddThis in this way enable AddThis itself and the companies affiliated with AddThis or its partner companies to target visitors to the websites of the controller with personalized and interest-based advertising.

AddThis displays personalized and interest-based advertising based on a cookie set by the company. This cookie analyzes the individual browsing behavior of the computer system used by the data subject. The cookie stores visits to websites from the computer system.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent AddThis from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by AddThis can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject also has the possibility to object permanently to the processing of personal data by AddThis. To do this, the data subject must press the opt-out button under the linkhttp://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject's system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must revisit the link and set a new opt-out cookie.

However, with the setting of the opt-out cookie, it is possible that the websites of the controller will no longer be fully usable for the data subject.

AddThis's applicable privacy policy is available athttp://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.

The transfer to the USA is permitted under Art. 46 para 2 c GDPR as we have entered into the standard contractual clauses with AddThis Inc. (s. section 1.1.5 h athttps://www.addthis.com/privacy/terms-of-service/) which are available in the Annex athttps://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32004D0915

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

A social network is an Internet-operated social meeting place, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via 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 United States or Canada, the person responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By page request of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) 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 the corresponding Facebook component of Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found athttps://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each page request of our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject presses one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not wanted by the data subject, the data subject can prevent the transmission by logging out of his Facebook account before calling up our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available athttps://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, 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 transfer to Facebook.

The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables third-party advertising to be placed. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.

The operator of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google-AdSense sets 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 able to analyse the use of our website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and the billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which, among other things, serves Google to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in Web pages to enable log file recording and analysis, which allows statistical analysis to be performed. Using the embedded tracking pixel, Google can detect if and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked by the data subject. Counting pixels serve, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

Google-AdSense is explained in more detail under this linkhttps://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.

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

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The controller uses the addition "_gat. _anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is truncated by Google and anonymized when access to our websites is made from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets 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 able to analyze the use of our website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which, among other things, serve Google to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics, related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such data. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the linkhttps://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about the visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject's information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is imputable to his or her power, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy are available athttps://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ andhttp://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this linkhttps://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

The controller has integrated services from Google Remarketing on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows a company to display advertisements to internet users who have previously been on the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

The operator of Google Remarketing's services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to display them on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google will be able to recognize the visitor to our website if he subsequently accesses websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each call-up of a website on which the service of Google Remarketing has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies with Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address or the user's browsing behaviour, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Every time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call www.google.de/settings/ads from the link and make the desired settings from each of the Internet browsers he uses.

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads in both Google's search engine results and google's advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-determine specific keywords that display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.

The operator of the services of Google AdWords is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject arrives at our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to understand whether a data subject who has entered our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. In turn, we use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who have been taught to us through AdWords ads, to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad, and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Every time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call www.google.de/settings/ads from the link and make the desired settings from each of the Internet browsers he uses.

Our website uses Hotjar's hotjar web analytics service from Hotjar Ltd. Hotjar Ltd. is a European company based in Malta (Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe, Tel.: +1 (855) 464-6788).

This tool can be used to track movements on the websites where Hotjar is used (so-called heat maps). For example, you can see how far users scroll and which buttons users click on and how often. Furthermore, it is also possible to obtain feedback directly from the users of the website using the tool. In particular, the hotjar-based website's functionality can be improved by Making it more user-friendly, valuable and easier for end-users to use.

When using this tool, we pay particular attention to the protection of your personal data. Thus, we can only understand which buttons are clicked, the history of the mouse, how far is scrolled, the screen size of the device, device type and browser information, geographic point of view (only the country) and the preferred language to display our website. Areas of the websites where personal data about you or third parties are displayed are automatically hidden by Hotjar and are therefore never traceable. In order to exclude direct personal reference, IP addresses are only stored anonymously and processed further. However, Hotjar uses various third-party services such as Google Analytics and Optimizely. It may therefore be the case that these services collect data that is transmitted by your browser as part of Web Page Requests. These would be, for example, cookies or your IP address. In these exceptional cases, such processing shall be carried out in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of the consent you have given for the purpose of statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimization and marketing purposes.

Hotjar offers every user the possibility to use a "Do Not Track header" to prevent the use of the Hotjar tool, so that no data about the visit to the respective website is recorded. This is a setting that all common browsers support in current versions. To do this, your browser sends a request to Hotjar, with the notice to disable the tracking of the respective user. If you use our websites with different browsers/computers, you have to set up the "Do Not Track-Header" for each of these browsers/computers separately.

When visiting a Hotjar-based website, you can prevent Hotjar from collecting your data at any time by goinghttps://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out/ our opt-out page and disabling Hotjar.

Article 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing shall be based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. The processing would then be based on Article 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is based on processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases where the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are allowed to do this kind of processing, in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be presumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

Based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest in carrying out our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiry of the period, the relevant data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer necessary for the performance of the contract or initiation of the contract.

Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provisioning

We inform you that the provision of personal data can be partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some ways, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact us at[email protected]. We will clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.
