Handling of personal data
According to Article 4(1) of the GDPR, personal data is information that can be used to identify a person (data subject), i.e. information that can be traced back to a person. This includes, for example, the name, email address or telephone number.
Personal data is only processed by the controller if the data subject has given their consent, the processing is necessary for the preparation or performance of a contract or the controller is legally obliged to process the data (Article 6 GDPR).
Recipients to whom the data subject's personal data is disclosed will be notified to the data subject on a case-by-case basis.
There are no plans to transfer personal data to third countries or international organisations.
Further rights of the data subject
Personal data is stored for as long as it is required to fulfil the purpose. When contacting the controller (e.g. via contact form or email), the data subject's details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
In addition, personal data is only stored if a statutory retention period prescribes this, for example the retention period for accounting documents in accordance with Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO).
The data subject has a right to information about the personal data stored about them in accordance with Article 15 GDPR, they have a right to rectification or completion of incorrect or incomplete personal data in accordance with Article 16 GDPR and they have a right to erasure in accordance with Article 17 GDPR. For the duration of the processing of requests for rectification or erasure, the data subject has a right to restriction of processing in accordance with Article 18 GDPR.
The data subject may also request that their personal data be provided to them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (right to data portability) in accordance with Article 20 GDPR.
The data subject has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of their personal data in accordance with Article 6 (1) a) or Article 9 (2) a) at any time (Article 7 GDPR).
The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
The State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony
Prinzenstraße 5
30159 Hanover
Telephone: 0511 120-4500
Fax: 0511 120-4599
E-mail: poststelle@lfd-niedersachsen.de
Where personal data is processed, the controller informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether this processing is required by law or contract and whether the data subject is obliged to provide the personal data and the consequences of not providing it.
Automated decision-making based on the data subject's personal data does not take place at the controller.
Right to withdraw data protection consent
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulation giver to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Use of the website
The following supplementary declarations apply to the use of the Park der Gärten gGmbH website.
Collection of general data and information
The Park der Gärten gGmbH 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 log files. The following can be recorded
(1) 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 referrer)
(4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
(5) the date and time of access to the website
(6) an internet protocol address (IP address),
(7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and
(8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Park der Gärten gGmbH does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required in order 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 criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
Therefore, the Park der Gärten gGmbH analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
This raw statistical data is deleted after 90 days.
All data located on our servers at www.park-der-gaerten.de and "hosted" (i.e. stored) there are protected against unauthorised access by security systems connected in series. Employees of Park der Gärten gGmbH and its system service providers regularly check the effectiveness of the protection.
Cookies
Our Internet pages use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and 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 be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Park der Gärten gGmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes. 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 usable.
Contact via the website
The website of Park der Gärten gGmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
Registration on our website
The data subject has the option of registering on the controller's website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for the controller's own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offences to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.
The data controller shall provide any data subject with information at any time on request as to which personal data relating to the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. All of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Subscription to our newsletter
On the Park der Gärten gGmbH website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.
The controller informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorised the 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 in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as legal protection for the controller.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the 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 cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller's website or to inform the controller of this in another way.
Newsletter tracking
The Park der Gärten gGmbH newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be statistically analysed. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the controller can recognise 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 optimise the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After cancellation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. The controller automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
Data protection for applications and in the application process
Park der Gärten gGmbH collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding
application documents by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website, to the controller. 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, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
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, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised 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 entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the <responsible person> 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 contest the decision.
Möchte die betroffene Person Rechte mit Bezug auf automatisierte Entscheidungen geltend machen, kann sie sich hierzu jederzeit an einen Mitarbeiter des für die Verarbeitung Verantwortlichen wenden.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Adobe Analytics (Omniture) / Adobe Marketing Cloud
The data controller has integrated Adobe components on this website. Adobe Analytics (Omniture) or the Adobe Marketing Cloud (hereinafter referred to as "Omniture") is a tool that enables more efficient online marketing and web analytics. Omniture is part of the Adobe Marketing Cloud. The Adobe Marketing Cloud enables real-time analyses of visitor flows on websites. The real-time analyses include project reports and allow ad-hoc analyses of website visitors. Customer interactions are presented in a way that provides the controller with a better overview of the online activities of the users of this website by displaying the data in simple and interactive dashboards and converting them into reports. This enables the data controller to receive information in real time and to recognise problems more quickly.
The operating company of these services is Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland.
Omniture places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject (cookies have already been explained in advance; this can be read above). The controller ensures through a server setting that the tracking data records transmitted to the Adobe data centre are anonymised before geolocalisation. Anonymisation is implemented by replacing the last part of the IP address. The controller has made settings on the server side that anonymise the IP address of the data subject independently of each other before processing for geolocalisation and reach measurement. Adobe will use the data and information obtained via our website on behalf of the controller to evaluate the user behaviour of the data subject. Adobe will also use the data to create reports on user activity on our behalf and to provide other services for our company in connection with the use of our website. The IP address of the data subject is not merged with other personal data by Adobe.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Omniture from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, cookies already set by Omniture can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by the Adobe cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Adobe. To do this, the data subject must press the unsubscribe button under the link www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject's system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.
With the setting of the opt-out cookie, however, there is the possibility that the Internet pages of the controller are no longer fully usable for the data subject.
The applicable data protection provisions of Adobe may be accessed under www.adobe.com/de/privacy.html
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google AdSense
Park der Gärten gGmbH has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of adverts on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the adverts displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of Internet users, which is realised by generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of adverts on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. During the course of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc. inter alia to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in Internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows statistical evaluation to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can recognise whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to analyse the flow of visitors to a website.
Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed adverts, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
Google AdSense is explained in more detail at this link www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
Park der Gärten gGmbH has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the costs and benefits of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the "anonymiseIp" add-on for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymise the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from 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. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to analyse the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is recognised by Google as an objection. If the data subject's IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Remarketing
The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display adverts to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related adverts and consequently to display adverts relevant to the interests of the Internet user.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display adverts relevant to your interests. Google Remarketing enables us to display adverts via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.
Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognise the visitor to our website when they subsequently access websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated is accessed, the data subject's internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube
Park der Gärten gGmbH has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting when a sub-page containing a YouTube video is accessed. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which can be accessed at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
Data Protection Regulations Regarding the Use and Application of Facebook
Die Park der Gärten gGmbH has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is an online social meeting point, a community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the online community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For the processing of personal data, the responsible party is, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the responsible party and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_GB.
As part of this technical procedure, Facebook becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is being visited by the data subject. If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognises with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the respective Facebook account of the data subject.
If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example, the "Like" button, or comments, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Facebook receives information through the Facebook component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided that the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not.
If such transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains what settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Additionally, various applications are available that allow for the suppression of data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook.
SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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 encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information on the rights of data subjects
The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and the information specified in Art. 15 GDPR.
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data (Art. 16 GDPR).
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the grounds listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued (right to erasure).
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data subject has objected to processing, for the duration of the verification by the controller.
The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her. The controller will then no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 21 GDPR).
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR). The data subject may exercise this right before a supervisory authority in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The competent supervisory authority in Lower Saxony is
