Privacy policy

The protection of information relating to you, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail or IP address (so-called "personal data"), which you entrust to us, is an important concern for us. Therefore, we operate this website in accordance with the laws on data protection and data security.

The transmission of personal data in the context of the use of this website always takes place via encrypted SSL connections. These meet the requirements of the security guideline TR-02102 of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).

 

Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator in the adoption of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: "GDPR"). The data protection declaration is intended to be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person's job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

The controller or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the Controller.

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

Consent shall mean any freely given indication of the data subject's wishes for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous manner in the form of a statement or any other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

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

  • If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

IP anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser plugin

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are 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 performance of a contract.

Cookies are used to make the website more customer-friendly and secure, and in particular to collect usage-related information, such as frequency of use and number of users of the pages and behavioral patterns of page use. Cookies do not harm the computer and do not contain viruses. This cookie contains a characteristic character string (so-called cookie ID), which enables
the browser to be uniquely identified when the website

Cookies remain stored even if the browser session is terminated and can be accessed again when you visit the site again. However, cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you also have full control over the use of cookies. If you do not wish data to be collected via cookies, you can set your browser via the menu under "Settings" so that you are informed about the setting of cookies or generally exclude the setting of cookies or also delete cookies individually. It should be noted, however, that the functionality of this website may be limited if cookies are deactivated. As far as session cookies are concerned, they will be deleted automatically after leaving the website anyway.

Server log files

In the case of purely informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we automatically collect the following data and information from the computer system of the calling computer each time the website is called up:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. lit. f) GDPR.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to

  1. to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
  2. to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it
  3. to ensure the functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
  4. Provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary to prosecute in the event of a cyberattack

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected - in this case, at the end of the usage process.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website, which is why there is no possibility to object.

Contact form and e-mail contact

Our website contains a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. If you take advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:

  • E-mail
  • Name
  • Company if applicable
  • Address if applicable
  • Phone if applicable
  • Country if applicable
  • Communication

At the time of sending the message, the following data is also stored:

  • IP address of the user
  • Date and time of registration

For the processing of data, your consent is obtained during the submission process and reference is made to this privacy policy. Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. Insofar as this involves information on communication channels (for example, e-mail address, telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via this communication channel, if necessary, in order to respond to your request. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. lit. a) GDPR if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1S. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. Of course, we will use the data from your e-mail inquiries exclusively for the purpose for which you provide them to us when contacting us. In the case of contact by e-mail, the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data also lies in its reply. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

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 sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.  The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted at the latest after expiry of the legally prescribed period.

Inquiry by e-mail or telephone
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.

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

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent that they are necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our websites (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content

We transmit personal data to third parties only if this is necessary for the processing of the contract, for example, to the credit institution entrusted with the processing of payments.

A further transmission of the data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Links to external websites

This website contains links to external sites. We are responsible for our own content. We have no influence on the contents of external links and are therefore not responsible for them, in particular we do not adopt their contents as our own. If you are directed to an external site, the data protection declaration provided there applies. If you notice illegal activities or content on this site, you are welcome to inform us. In this case we will check the content and react accordingly (notice and take down procedure).

 

Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you purchase goods or services from us and provide us with your e-mail address, we may subsequently use it to send you a newsletter. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is Article 7 (3) UWG.

To avoid abusive or incorrect mail entries, we use the so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that we send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that the mail address is correct. If you do not confirm your details, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted in compliance with the legally prescribed period. In addition, we store your respective IP addresses used and times of registration and confirmation.

The collection of the user's e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter. The collection of other personal data in the context of the confirmation process according to para. 2 serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Accordingly, the user's e-mail address will be stored as long as you do not revoke the receipt of the newsletter.

You can unsubscribe from receiving our emails at any time by clicking on the "unsubscribe" box in our newsletter unsubscribe or by sending us a text message (email/letter) to the contact details provided in the imprint stating that you no longer wish to receive our promotional emails.

 

Plugins and tools

Google reCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place. The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. For more information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please see the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

Leadinfo

We use the lead generation service provided by Leadinfo B.V., Rotterdam, The Netherlands, which recognizes
visits of companies to our website based on IP-addresses and shows us related publicly available information,
such as company names or addresses. In addition, Leadinfo places two first-party cookies for providing
transparency on how our visitors use our website and the tool processes domains from provided form inputs
(e.g. “leadinfo.com”) to correlate IP addresses with companies and to enhance its services. For additional
information, please visit www.leadinfo.com. On this page: www.leadinfo.com/en/opt-out you have an opt-out

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

 

Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks used by us in detail can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook can generally analyze your user behavior extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data protection. In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected. We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

Facebook fan page

We operate an online presence on Facebook, a so-called Facebook Fanpage. The following additional information on data processing applies to visits to our fan page. Information on data protection at Facebook in general can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

We are jointly responsible with Facebook for the operation of our Facebook fan page in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. For this purpose, we have defined in an agreement with Facebook who fulfills which obligations with regard to data protection. This agreement can be accessed here. Accordingly, Facebook is primarily responsible for providing the data subject with information about the joint processing and enabling him or her to exercise his or her data protection rights. Irrespective of this, we hereby inform you about your visit to our Fanpage.

Our contact details are:

If you are a Facebook user, Facebook collects the data described in the Facebook Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update) under "What types of information do we collect? If you are not a Facebook user, cookies with identifiers, small text files, may still be stored in your browser, which enable so-called tracking of your user behavior.

As a rule, the user data during a visit to Facebook is also processed by Facebook for market research and advertising purposes. Based on user behavior (also when visiting our fan page), complex user profiles are created, which Facebook can use to play personalized advertisements to the visitor within and outside of Facebook. More information on this can also be found in the Facebook data policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update).

If you do not agree to this, you can object at https://www.facebook.com/index.php?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsettings%3Ftab%3Dads (opt-out).

Facebook provides us with statistics and usage data that we can use to analyze the use of our fan page (so-called "page insights"). This enables us to continuously improve our offer on Facebook. We, as the operator, do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and any other information resulting from Art. 13 of the GDPR, such as the storage duration of cookies on user devices. The primary responsibility under the GDPR for the processing of Insights Data lies with Facebook and Facebook complies with all obligations under the GDPR with respect to the processing of Insights Data.

We as the site administrator have no other way, not even via user tracking, to evaluate user behavior on our Fanpage. It is also fundamentally not possible for us to identify the visitor to the Fanpage on the basis of the Page Insights. In particular, we have no right under the agreement to require Facebook to disclose individual visitor data. Identification is only possible for us if we are able to assign individual profile pictures to "Like" page views; however, this is only possible insofar as our Fanpage has been marked with "Like" by the corresponding visitor and the "Like" is set to "public".

You can find out what information Facebook uses to create Page Insights at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data.

The operation of the Facebook fan page and the use of page insights serves our legitimate interest in effective external presentation and efficient communication with our customers and interested parties. This interest justifies the operation of the page both to the legitimate interests of Facebook users and to visitors to our fan page who do not have a Facebook account. Accordingly, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Data collected by Facebook is shared and processed throughout the Facebook group. The Facebook Group also includes, for example, Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus. For example, information collected through Facebook is used to display personalized ads to the user on Instagram, or information from WhatsApp is used to take action against accounts that send spam through WhatsApp on Facebook. This information can be found in the Facebook Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update) under "How do Facebook companies work together?".

When Facebook processes data, user data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular to the USA. Facebook has therefore submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield:

(https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=A...).

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, provided that there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which will be implemented by us without specifying a particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, it is sufficient to send an e-mail to e-mail.

You have the right to revoke your consent to us at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future. Furthermore, you have the right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR, the right to correction according to Art. 16 GDPR, the right to deletion according to Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR, as well as the right from data portability from Art. 21 GDPR. Furthermore, there is a right of appeal to a competent data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG).

In principle, you can assert your data protection rights both against Facebook and against us. Since only Facebook has direct access to your user data, you can most effectively assert your data subject rights against Facebook.

 

Data protection information on e-mail contact

We hereby inform you in accordance with Art. 13, 14 GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) about what data we collect and process from you and for what purpose in the context of email communication. When contacting us by email, the user's personal data that is transmitted along with the email will be stored. If this includes information about communication channels (e.g. email address, telephone number), you also agree that we may contact you via this communication channel in order to respond to your request. This data will not be disclosed to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. f) GDPR. If you send us an email with the intention of entering into a contract with us, this creates an additional legal basis for its processing per Art. 6 para. 1p. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The data from your email inquiries will of course only be used for the purpose for which you made them available to us when contacting us. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data that was sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has been completed. The conversation will have ended when it is evident from the circumstances that the matter at hand has been conclusively resolved. If the email contact is aimed at the execution of a contract, the data will be deleted after expiry of the statutory (commercial or tax) storage periods required for this. You have the right to request information from us at any time about your personal data being stored by us (Art. 15 GDPR). This also affects the recipient or category of recipients to whom this data is shared and the purpose of the storage. In addition, you have the right to request corrections under the conditions of Article 16 GDPR and/or, under the conditions of Article 17 GDPR, the cancellation and/or, under the conditions of Article 18 GDPR, the restriction of processing. Furthermore, you can request data transmission at any time under the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR. In the case of processing of personal data to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR), you may object to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. In the event of an objection, we shall refrain from any further processing of your data for the aforementioned purposes, unless there are compelling, legitimate reasons for processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. All information requests, inquiries, revocations or objections to data processing should be addressed by email or mail to the person responsible, Armin Ledermann, mimatic GmbH, Westendstraße 3, D-87488 Betzigau (Germany), Phone: +49 (831) 57444-0, E-Mail: info@mimatic.de. For further information, please refer to the full text of the GDPR. Furthermore, you have the possibility of complaining to the responsible supervisory authority about data protection issues. The authority responsible for us is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority, Promenade 27, D-91522 Ansbach (Germany).

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. You can contact the responsible person for this purpose.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

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