Applicable Legal Bases

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: The following provides an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that national data protection regulations may also apply in your or our country of residence or establishment. If more specific legal bases are applicable in individual cases, we will inform you of them in the privacy policy.
  • Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR) – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection provisions apply in Germany. This includes, in particular, the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG). The BDSG contains specific regulations on the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to object, processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes, and transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling. Furthermore, data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. These measures include safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transmission, securing of availability, and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have procedures in place to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data threats. We also consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default. IP Address Shortening: If IP addresses are processed by us or by service providers and technologies used, and full IP address processing is not necessary, the IP address is shortened (also referred to as “IP masking”). In this process, the last two digits or the final part of the IP address after a dot are removed or replaced with placeholders. This is done to prevent or significantly complicate the identification of a person via their IP address. TLS/SSL Encryption (https): To protect the data of users transmitted via our online services, we use TLS/SSL encryption. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard technology for securing Internet connections by encrypting the data transferred between a website or app and a browser (or between two servers). Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an updated and more secure version of SSL. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate.

Deletion of Data

The data we process will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the consents granted for processing are revoked or other permissions cease to apply (e.g., if the purpose for processing this data no longer applies or it is no longer necessary for the purpose). If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be limited to those purposes. That means the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person. We may provide users with additional information on the deletion and retention of data that applies specifically to individual processing operations in our privacy notices.

Rights of Data Subjects

Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Articles 15 to 21 of the GDPR:
  • Right to object: You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR for reasons relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing.
  • Right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

  • Right to erasure and restriction of processing: You have the right to request the immediate erasure of personal data concerning you or alternatively to request a restriction of the processing of the data in accordance with legal requirements.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request its transmission to another controller.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: In accordance with legal requirements and without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

Deletion of Data

We delete the data we process in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the consents granted for processing are revoked or other permissions cease to apply (e.g., if the purpose of processing this data no longer applies or it is not required for the purpose). If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted to these purposes. This means the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person. In our privacy notices, we may provide users with additional information regarding the deletion and retention of data that applies specifically to the respective processing processes.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small text files or other storage notes that store information on end devices and read information from end devices. For example, to save the login status in a user account, a shopping cart content in an online store, the content viewed, or used functions of an online offer. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, e.g., for the functionality, security, and convenience of online offers as well as for the analysis of visitor flows. Information on consent: We use cookies in accordance with legal requirements. Therefore, we obtain prior consent from users, unless it is not required by law. Consent is not necessary, in particular, when the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide a telemedia service (i.e., our online offer) expressly requested by the users. Absolutely necessary cookies usually include cookies that serve functions related to the display and operability of the online offer, load balancing, security, storing user preferences or similar purposes related to the provision of the main and ancillary functions of the online service requested by users. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and contains the information on the respective cookie usage. Information on legal bases under data protection law: The legal basis on which we process users’ personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed based on our legitimate interests (e.g., in the business operation of our online offer and its improvement) or, if this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is required to fulfill our contractual obligations. We inform users about the purposes for which the cookies are processed in the course of this privacy policy or within our consent and processing procedures. Storage duration: With regard to the storage duration, the following types of cookies are distinguished:
  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online service and closed their end device (e.g., browser or mobile application).
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user revisits a website. Likewise, user data collected via cookies can be used for reach measurement. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and duration of cookies (e.g., as part of obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and the storage duration can be up to two years.
General notes on revocation and objection (so-called “opt-out”): Users can revoke the consents they have given at any time and object to the processing in accordance with legal requirements. For this purpose, users can, among other things, restrict the use of cookies in their browser settings (which may also restrict the functionality of our online offer). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Cookie settings/objection option:
  • Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR). Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Further information on processing procedures, processes and services:
  • Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure, in which users’ consent to the use of cookies, or the processing and providers mentioned in the cookie consent management procedure, is obtained, managed, and revocable. The consent declaration is stored to avoid having to repeat the request and to be able to prove consent according to legal obligations. The storage may take place server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie or with the help of comparable technologies) in order to associate the consent with a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following applies: The duration of the storage of consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored along with the time of consent, information on the scope of the consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system, and used end device; Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR).
  • BorlabsCookie: Cookie consent management; Service provider: Hosted locally on our server, no data sharing with third parties; Website: https://de.borlabs.io/borlabs-cookie/. Further information: An individual user ID, language, types of consents, and the time of their submission are stored server-side and in the cookie on the user’s device.

Performance of Statutory or Organizational Tasks

We process the data of our members, supporters, interested parties, business partners, or other persons (collectively “data subjects”) if we are in a membership or other business relationship with them and perform our tasks as well as provide benefits and grants. Otherwise, we process the data of data subjects based on our legitimate interests, e.g., when it involves administrative tasks or public relations work. The data processed in this context, the type, scope, purpose, and necessity of its processing are determined by the underlying membership or contractual relationship, from which the necessity of any data details may also arise (otherwise, we indicate required data). We delete data that is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of our statutory and business purposes. This is determined according to the respective tasks and contractual relationships. We retain data as long as it may be relevant to business processing and with regard to any warranty or liability obligations based on our legitimate interest in their regulation. The necessity of data retention is reviewed regularly; otherwise, the legal retention obligations apply.
  • Types of data processed: Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses); Payment data (e.g., bank details, invoices, payment history); Contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers); Contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term, customer category).

We process this data to fulfill our contractual obligations. This includes, in particular, the obligations to provide the agreed services, any updating obligations, and remedy for warranty and other service disruptions. In addition, we process the data to safeguard our rights and for the purpose of associated administrative tasks and business organization. Furthermore, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests in proper and economically efficient business management as well as in security measures to protect our contractual partners and our business operations against misuse, endangerment of their data, secrets, information, and rights (e.g., to involve telecommunications, transport and other auxiliary services as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisers, payment service providers or tax authorities). In accordance with applicable law, we only disclose the data of contractual partners to third parties to the extent necessary for the aforementioned purposes or to fulfill legal obligations. We inform the contractual partners about other forms of processing, e.g., for marketing purposes, in this privacy policy. We inform contractual partners which data is required for the aforementioned purposes before or during data collection, e.g., in online forms, through special markings (e.g., colors) or symbols (e.g., asterisks), or in person. We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, i.e., generally after four years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, for example, as long as it is retained for legal archiving purposes. The statutory retention period for documents relevant under tax law and for commercial books, inventories, opening balances, annual financial statements, the working instructions necessary to understand these documents, and other organizational documents and booking records is ten years, and six years for received commercial and business letters and copies of sent commercial and business letters. The period begins at the end of the calendar year in which the last entry was made, the inventory, opening balance sheet, annual financial statements, or management report was prepared, the commercial or business letter was received or sent, the booking record was created, the record was made, or the other documents were created.

Newsletters and Electronic Notifications

We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications (hereinafter “newsletters”) only with the consent of the recipients or legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described as part of a registration, they are decisive for the user’s consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us. To subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name for personal addressing in the newsletter or additional information if necessary for the purposes of the newsletter. Double opt-in procedure: Newsletter registration is generally carried out using a double opt-in process. This means you will receive an email after registering asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register using someone else’s email address. Newsletter registrations are logged to be able to prove the registration process complies with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the dispatch service provider are also logged. Deletion and restriction of processing: We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before we delete them to be able to prove previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of potential defense against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed. In case of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the email address solely for this purpose in a blocklist. Logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests to verify its proper execution. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure mailing system. Contents: Event information

Presence in Social Networks (Social Media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context to communicate with active users there or to offer information about us. Please note that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may pose risks for users, for example, because it could make it more difficult to enforce users’ rights. Additionally, user data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests of users. These usage profiles can in turn be used to display advertisements inside and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users’ computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of users are stored. Moreover, data can also be stored in usage profiles regardless of the devices used by users (especially if users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in). For a detailed presentation of the respective forms of processing and the opt-out options, please refer to the privacy policies and information of the respective network providers. Even in the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users’ data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. However, if you need help, you can contact us.
  • Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g., email, phone numbers); Content data (e.g., entries in online forms); Usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); Meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status).

  • Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Plugins and Embedded Functions and Content

We incorporate functional and content elements into our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may include graphics, videos, or maps (collectively referred to as “content”). This integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the users’ IP address, as they could not send the content to their browsers without the IP address.
