III. general information on data processing

1. scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception is made in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the person concerned or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling a contract.

IV. Rights of the data subject
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the DSGVO and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the person responsible:

1. right of information
You may request confirmation from the person responsible as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.
If such processing has taken place, you can request information from the data controller about the following:
1. the purposes for which the personal data are processed
2. the categories of personal data which are processed;
3. the recipients or the categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed are still being disclosed;

6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 DPA in connection with the transfer.

2. right of rectification
You have the right to ask the data controller to correct and/or complete the data if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller must make the correction without delay.

3. right to limit processing
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:
- if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time which enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- the processing is unlawful and you object to the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
- the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims; or
- if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DPA and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data - apart from being stored - may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction on processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. right of deletion
a) Duty to delete
You may demand that the person responsible for the data concerning you be immediately deleted, and the person responsible is obliged to delete such data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
1. the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed
2. you revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
3. you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Par. 1 FADP and there are no legitimate reasons for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Par. 2 FADP.

b) Information to third parties
If the data controller has made public the personal data concerning you and is obliged to delete them in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 DPA, he shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as a data subject, have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

c) Exceptions
The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary
1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information
2. to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or national law to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
3. for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Article 9 paragraph 2 letters h and i and Article 9 paragraph 3 DSGVO;
4. for archival, scientific or historical research purposes in the public interest or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or
5. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or limitation of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or limitation of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right, vis-à-vis the data controller, to be informed of these recipients.

6. right to data transferability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to have this data communicated to another person in charge without interference from the person in charge to whom the personal data has been communicated, provided that
1. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter b DSGVO and
2. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data transferability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out pursuant to Art. 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letters e or f of the DPA; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The data controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing which are worthy of protection and which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for those purposes.
You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in relation to the use of information society services, without prejudice to Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures involving technical specifications.

8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. Revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of your consent until revocation.

9. automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect on you or which significantly affects you in a similar way. This shall not apply if the decision
1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible
2. is authorised by Union law or by the law of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or
3. with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g DSGVO applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall take reasonable measures to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the data controller, to express his point of view and to challenge the decision.

10. right of appeal to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of the DPA.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a legal remedy under Art. 78 DSGVO.

It is not possible to draw conclusions about individual users from the stored data. Provided that the user has given his or her express prior consent, the aforementioned recipient reactions are recorded and stored on a personal basis. This enables SALESManago to better tailor the content of the newsletter to the personal interests of the user.
The user can cancel the newsletter at any time and thus withdraw his or her consent to receive the newsletter. Any existing consent to the collection of data on the personal usage behavior of the newsletter will also expire. Any existing personal usage data will then be deleted. The user has the option of cancelling the newsletter at any time by clicking on the cancellation link contained in each newsletter.

5. possibility of objection and removal
