Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH. Use of the MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by 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, email 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 MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example, by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy we use, among other things, the following terms:

  • a) personal data

    According to Section 3 (1) of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “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.

  • b) Companies

    A company is an economic-financial and legal entity (Schäfer) for which the commercial principle is constitutive (Gutenberg) – in contrast to, for example, public enterprises. The formal characteristic in all cases is the legal entity (e.g., GmbH, AG), through which the economic-financial entity is created in the first place with its specific structure of ownership relationships and is defined by a purpose. To achieve its corporate purpose and objectives, the company uses one, several, or even no (e.g., holding) companies.

  • b) List of processing activities

    The General Data Protection Regulation requires companies and public authorities to maintain a "register of processing activities" (Article 30 (1) GDPR) starting May 25, 2018. This register serves as a working basis for the controller and the data protection officer.

  • b) data subject

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

  • c) Processing

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

  • d) Restriction of processing

    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

  • e) Profiling

    Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

  • f) Pseudonymization

    Pseudonymisation 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g) Controller or person responsible for processing

    The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing 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 nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  • h) Processor

    Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i) Recipient

    Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

  • j) Third party

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

  • k) Consent

    Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

5. Cookies

The MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to associate the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers 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 using the unique cookie ID.

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

Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies allow 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, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to enter their login details every time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by making the appropriate settings in the internet browser used, thereby permanently denying the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already 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 setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully available.

6. Collection of general data and information

The MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. Collected may be (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 referrers), (4) the sub-websites 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 used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH therefore evaluates this anonymously collected data and information both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

7. Subscription to our newsletter

On the MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The input form used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter.

MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH regularly informs its customers and business partners about company offers via a newsletter. Our company 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. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address entered by the data subject for the first time for newsletter delivery using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system 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 be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to legally protect the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link for the purpose of revoking the consent can be found in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to communicate this to the controller in another way.

8. Newsletter tracking

The MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH newsletters 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 analysis. This allows for statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject, and which links in the email 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 newsletter delivery and to better tailor 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 to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as a revocation.

9. Contact options via the website

Due to legal regulations, the MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

10. Comment function in the blog on the website

MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the controller. A blog is a generally publicly accessible portal hosted on a website, in which one or more individuals, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down their thoughts in so-called blog posts. These blog posts can usually 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 information on the time the comment was entered and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject are stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet service provider (ISP) is logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest so that they can exonerate themselves in the event of a violation of law, if necessary. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

11. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

12. Rights of the data subject

  • a) Right to confirmation

    Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • b) Right to information

    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data concerning him or her stored at any time, including a copy of that information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain the following information:

    • the processing purposes
    • the categories of personal data being processed
    • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
    • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, where not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
    • the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
    • the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority
    • if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information about the origin of the data
    • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

    Furthermore, the data subject has the right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If so, the data subject also has the right to receive information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of information, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller or here an application place (https://medtech-ingenieur.de/gespeicherte-daten-2/).

  • c) Right to rectification

    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of providing a supplementary statement, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and where processing is not necessary:

    • The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
    • The data subject withdraws his or her consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
    • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
    • The personal data was processed unlawfully.
    • The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
    • The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR.

    If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

    If the personal data was made public by MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH and our company as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase the personal data, MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. The employee of MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

  • e) Right to restriction of processing

    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

    • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
    • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
    • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
    • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

    If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH will arrange for the restriction of processing.

  • f) Right to data portability

    Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH or here an application place (https://medtech-ingenieur.de/gespeicherte-daten-2/).

  • g) Right to object

    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons related to his or her particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    In the event of an objection, MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

    If MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such advertising purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH processing for direct marketing purposes, MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    In addition, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, unless such processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest.

    To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH or another employee directly. Furthermore, in connection with the use of information society services, the data subject is free to exercise their right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

  • h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is 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 data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

    If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, MEDtech Ingenieur GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

13. Data protection in applications and during the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

14. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Matomo (with anonymization function)

We use the Matomo web analytics service to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics collected allow us to improve our offerings and make them more interesting for you as a user. No cookies are stored on your system for this purpose. The information collected in this way is stored exclusively with the aforementioned hosts. It is not shared with third parties.

Matomo is configured so that IP addresses are not stored in their entirety, but are truncated by the last two bytes, so that it is no longer possible to assign the truncated IP address to the calling system.

The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest arises from the purposes stated above.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our purposes. In our case, this is after 13 months.

Matomo is configured on our website to respect any "Do Not Track" settings you make in your browser.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, anonymized IP addresses).
  • Affected persons: Users (e.g. website visitors).
  • Purposes of processing: Reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of recurring visitors), profiles with user-related information (creation of user profiles).
  • Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).
  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

We also offer the option of opting out of the analysis process. To do so, you must follow the following link. This will place another cookie on your system, signaling Matomo that you do not want your data saved. If you delete your cookie in the meantime, you will also need to set the opt-out cookie again.

15. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Shariff

The controller has integrated the Shariff component on this website. The Shariff component provides social media buttons that comply with data protection regulations. Shariff was developed for the German computer magazine c't and is published via GitHub, Inc.

The developer of the component is GitHub, Inc. 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Typically, the button solutions provided by social networks transmit personal data to the respective social network when a user visits a website in which a social media button has been integrated. By using the Shariff component, personal data is only transmitted to social networks when the visitor to a website actively clicks one of the social media buttons. Further information on the Shariff component is provided by the computer magazine c't at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-ct-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html. The purpose of using the Shariff component is to protect the personal data of visitors to our website and, at the same time, to enable us to integrate a button solution for social networks on this website.

Further information and GitHub’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://help.github.com/articles/github-privacy-policy/.

16. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment 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 were injured in our facility and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override them. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

17. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

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

18. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

19. Legal or contractual provisions 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-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contractual partner).
In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.

20. Existence of automated decision-making

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