II.      General Information regarding Data Processing

1.      Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

We shall in principle process our users’ personal data only insofar as this is required for the supplying of a functional website as well as of our contents and services. Addresses shall not be sold to third parties. Any more extensive processing of personal data shall be undertaken upon a regular basis only subject to the user’s consent. An exception shall apply in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain consent in advance owing to actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted in accordance with the statutory guidelines.

2.      Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Insofar as we obtain a consent from the affected person for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) shall serve as the legal basis.

During the processing of personal data which is required for the fulfilment of a contractual agreement whose contractual party is the affected person, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO shall serve as the legal basis. This shall also be valid for processing procedures which are required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as a processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation which our company must fulfil, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DSGVO shall serve as the legal basis.

For the case that vital interests of the affected person or of another natural person make a processing of personal data required, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d DSGVO shall serve as the legal basis.

If the processing is required for the safeguarding of a rightful interest of our company or of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the affected person do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO shall serve as the legal basis for the processing.

3.      Data Deletion and Storage Duration

The affected person’s personal data shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for the storage is no longer valid. Moreover, storage may be undertaken if this has been prescribed by the European or national lawmakers in European Union legal regulations, laws or other guidelines which the responsible party must fulfil. Any blocking or deletion of the data shall also be undertaken then if a storage timeframe prescribed by the aforementioned norms lapses unless a prerequisite still exists for the continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contractual agreement.

4.      Security

We shall undertake all legal preventative measures in order to protect your personal data from loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation and unauthorised access. However, you should nonetheless keep in mind that no Internet transmission has ever been 100% secure or flawless. Particularly e-mails, which are sent to or from this website, may be unsecure.

III.    Supplying of the Website and Creation of Log Files

1.      Description and Scope of the Data Processing

During each visit to our Internet site, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the querying computer.

In this regard, the following data shall be collected:

  • The user’s operating system
  • The user’s Internet Service Provider
  • The user’s IP address, querying domain
  • Date and time of day of the access
  • Websites from which the user’s system reaches our Internet site
  • Websites which are accessed by the user’s system via our website
  • Transferred data quantity, name of the file
  • Notification of whether the retrieval was successful

In this regard, it concerns exclusively information which permits no inferences to be made about your person. This information shall be technically required in order to correctly supply the website contents which you request and are mandatorily required for the usage of the Internet. We shall use anonymous information of this type for the purposes of statistical evaluations in order to optimise our Internet site and the technology behind it. No storage of these data together with the user’s other personal data shall be undertaken.

The employees of MCO have been obligated to maintain confidentiality regarding the personal data. These data shall be disseminated to third parties only if this is required for the fulfilment of a contractual agreement. Such third parties have likewise been obligated by MCO to protect the users’ data by means of contractual agreements.

2.      Legal Basis for the Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files shall be Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3.      Purpose of the Data Processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system shall be required in order to enable the delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files shall be undertaken in order to ensure the website’s functionality. In addition, the data serve the purpose of enabling us to optimise the website and guarantee the security of our information technology systems. In this context, the data shall not be evaluated for marketing purposes.

These purposes also encompass our rightful interest in the data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

4.      Duration of the Storage

The data shall be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the attainment of the purpose for their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the delivery of the website, this shall be the case if the respective session has ended.

In the case of the storage of the data in log files, this shall be the case after by no later than 16 days. More extensive storage shall be possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses shall be deleted or distorted so that a categorisation of the querying client is no longer possible.

5.      Right of Objection and Deletion

The collection of the data for the delivery of the website and the storage of the data in log files shall be mandatorily required for the operation of the Internet site. Consequently, the user shall have no right of objection in this regard.

VI.   Rights of the Affected Person

If your personal data are processed, then you shall be considered to be the affected person in accordance with the DSGVO and shall be entitled to the following rights in your dealings with the responsible party:

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data may–apart from their storage–only be processed subject to your consent or in order to assert, exercise or ward off legal claims or in order to protect the rights of another natural or juridical person or for the reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of one of its member countries.

If the processing has been restricted in accordance with the aforementioned prerequisites, you shall be notified by the responsible party before the restriction is lifted.

The right of deletion shall not apply insofar as the processing is required

(1)       In order to exercise the rights of free expression and notification;

(2)       In order to fulfil a legal obligation which requires the processing in accordance with the law of the European Union or of the member countries which the responsible party must follow or in order to fulfil a task which lies in the public interest or in the exercising of public authority which has been conferred to the responsible party;

(3)       For reasons of the public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 Para. 3 DSGVO;

(5)       For the assertion, exercising or warding-off of legal claims.

5.      Right of Instruction

If you have asserted the right of correction, deletion or restriction of the processing vis-à-vis the responsible party, the responsible party shall be obliged to notify all recipients, to whom your personal data have been disclosed, of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of the processing unless this is discovered to be impossible or associated with disproportionate expenditures.

You shall have the right to demand that the responsible party disclose the names of these recipients to you.

6.      Right of Data Portability

You shall have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to the responsible party, in a structured, standard and machine-readable format. Moreover, you shall have the right to transmit these data to another responsible party without any hindrances from the responsible party to whom the personal data have been provided insofar as

(1)       The processing is based upon a consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or upon a contractual agreement in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and

(2)       The processing is done via an automated process.

Furthermore, when exercising this right, you shall also have the right to request that your personal data be transmitted directly by one responsible party to another responsible party insofar as this is technically feasible. However, any freedoms and rights of other persons may not be restricted by so doing.

The right of data portability shall not be valid for a processing of personal data which is required for the fulfilment of a task which lies in the public interest or in the exercising of public authority which has been conferred to the responsible party.

7.      Right of Objection

You shall have the right, based upon the reasons from your particular situation, to lodge an objection at any time against the processing of your personal data which is undertaken in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f DSGVO; this shall also be valid for any profiling supported by these provisions.

The responsible party shall no longer process your personal data unless he can document compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the purpose of the assertion, exercising or warding-off of legal claims.

If your personal data are processed in order to conduct direct advertising, you shall have the right at any time to lodge an objection against the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this shall also be valid for the profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

If you object to the processing for the purposes of direct advertising, your personal data shall no longer be processed for these purposes.

You shall have the option, in conjunction with the usage of information society services–notwithstanding Guideline 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right of objection via an automated procedure, in which technical specifications are used.

8.      Right of Revocation of the Declaration of Consent Granted under Data Protection Law

You shall have the right at any time to revoke your declaration of consent granted under data protection law. However, the revocation of the consent shall not affect the legality of the processing that was done based upon the consent until it was revoked.

9.      Right of Complaint to a Government Supervisory Agency

Notwithstanding any other legal remedy under administrative law or in court, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint to a government supervisory agency–particularly in the member country of your place of residence, your work location or the location of the purported violation if you are of the belief that the processing of your personal data violates the DSGVO.

The government supervisory agency, to which the complaint has been lodged, shall notify the party lodging the complaint of the status of and the ruling on the complaint–including of the option of seeking out a legal remedy in court in accordance with Art. 78 DSGVO.
