We appreciate your interest in our website. It is generally possible to use this website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of specific services via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as a person's name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, will always be carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the applicable national data protection legislation. The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform the public about the nature, extent and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, this privacy policy informs individuals of the rights to which they are entitled.
We have implemented a number of technical and organisational processing measures to ensure the highest possible level of protection for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, the transmission of data over the Internet is subject to security vulnerabilities and absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to provide us with personal data by other means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
This privacy policy 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 readable and understandable to the general public as well as to our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms we use.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy statement:
a) Personal Data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). A natural person is considered to be identifiable if, directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special features, the expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person can be identified.
b) Data Subject
The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the data controller.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation carried out with or without the help of automated procedures or any such series of operations in connection with personal data, such as collecting, recording, organising, arranging, storing, adapting or altering, reading, querying, using, disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of making available, matching or linking, restricting, deleting or destroying.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data which consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or location of that natural person.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be linked to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not used to create a false identity.
g) Data Controller
The controller is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of processing are specified by Union law or the law of the Member States, Union law or the law of the Member States may provide for the identification of the controller or the specific criteria for his identification.
h) Processor
A processor is any natural or legal person, public authority, institution or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, institution or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered as recipients.
j) Third party
A third party is any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.
k) Consent
Consent is any expression of will given voluntarily by the data subject, in an informed and unambiguous manner for the specific case, in the form of a declaration or any other clear confirmatory action by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of his or her personal data.
2. Name and address of the data controller

3.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 for the cookie. It is a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the particular Internet browser in which it was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual's browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.
Cookies provide more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie being set.
With the help of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for the user to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her login details each time he or she visits the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
At any time, the person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Cookies that have already been set can also be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software. This is possible in all common web browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in your internet browser, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.
4. General data and information collection
The Site collects a series of general data and information each time the Site is accessed by a person or by an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. (1) the type and version of browser used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (referrer), (4) the sub-websites to which an accessing system accesses our website, (5) the date and time of access to the Website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet Service Provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
We do not use this general data and information to draw conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (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 prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. We therefore evaluate this anonymously collected data and information 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 processed by us. Anonymous server log file information is stored separately from any personal information provided by an individual.
5. How to contact us through the website
In compliance with legal requirements, the website contains information that allows for quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general address for electronic mail (e-mail address). When a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or by using the contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data, provided voluntarily by the data subject to the data controller, will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. Such personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller will process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this is required by the European Directive and Regulation giver or any other legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller has been subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European directive and regulation authority or another responsible legislator has expired, the personal data will be blocked or deleted as a matter of routine and in accordance with the legal provisions.
7. Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation

The employee of the QUIPS project will arrange for the restriction of the processing.
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period of time that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses the deletion of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.
The personal data are no longer needed by the controller for the purposes of the processing, but are needed by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.The data subject has objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) of the GDPR, pending an assessment of whether the controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.
f) Right to data portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a data controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit such data to another controller, without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were communicated, provided that the processing is based on the consent pursuant to art. 6 par. 1 letter a DS-GVO or Art. 9 paragraph 2 letter a DS-GVO or on a contract according to Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter b DS-GVO and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or takes place in the exercise of official authority which has been delegated to the person responsible.
Furthermore, in exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20, the rights and freedoms of other persons shall not be affected.
To exercise the right of data portability, the interested party may at any time contact a member of the QUIPS project staff.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, the QUIPS project will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the QUIPS project processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to the creation of profiles in connection with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to the QUIPS project processing the personal data for direct marketing purposes, the QUIPS project will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to oppose the processing of personal data relating to him or her which is carried out within the QUIPS project for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 par. 1 DSGVO, unless such processing is necessary to fulfil a task in the public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact directly any member of the QUIPS project. In the context of the use of information society services, the data subject is also free to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications, without prejudice to Directive 2002/58/EC.
h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Any person affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European legislator in the Directives and Regulations, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects on him or her or significantly affects him or her in a similar way, if the decision (1) is not necessary for the entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permissible under Union or national legislation to which the controller is subject and such legislation requires appropriate measures, the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or national law to which the controller is subject and such law requires appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is carried out with the express consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the QUIPS project shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and to protect the legitimate interests of the data subject, including 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.

8. Privacy policy for the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, recording and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about the website from which a person came to a website (known as a referrer), which subpages of the website were visited, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimise a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" extension for web analysis via Google Analytics. With this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned is shortened and anonymised by Google if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or another state party to 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 will use the information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the user's computer. What cookies are has already been explained above. The cookie enables Google to analyse your use of the website. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website operated by the party responsible for data processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically activated by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google may become aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.
The cookie is used to store personal information such as the time of access, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Each time you visit our website, this personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may also transfer this information to third parties.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, which will allow you to block the use of cookies by this website at any time. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, once a cookie has been set by Google Analytics, it can be deleted at any time using the Internet browser or other software.
In addition, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics on the use of this website and the processing of such data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to tell Google Analytics that it should not send data and information about visits to websites to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on will be interpreted by Google as an opt-out. If the data subject's information technology system is subsequently deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject will need to reinstall the browser add-on in order to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or another person under his or her control, the browser add-on may be reinstalled or reactivated.
For more information and to review Google's privacy policy, please visit https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
9. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If 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, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to those processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that 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 injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, the processing could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing in particular because it has been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the EDPS considers that a legitimate interest can be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (recital 47 sentence 2 of the GDPR).
10. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
11. Duration of storage of personal data
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. At the end of this period, the relevant data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or for the initiation of a contract.
12. 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 not providing the personal data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contracting party). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be entered into for a data subject to provide us with personal data that we must then process. For example, a data subject may be required to provide personal data if our company enters into a contract with the data subject. 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 explain to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the performance of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of not providing the personal data.
13. Existence of automated decision making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision making or profiling.
This privacy statement was created using the privacy statement generator of the DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as the external data protection officer for Oberbayern, in cooperation with the data protection lawyers of the law firm WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Rechtsanwälte.
