This is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (so-called data subject). This includes information such as name, postal address, email address or telephone number, but also other information that may be generated when using the Online Service, in particular information about the beginning, end and extent of use as well as the transmission of your IP address. 3. Purposes and legal basis of data processing In the following, you will find an overview of the purposes and legal basis of data processing in connection with the Online Service. In any case, we process personal data in accordance with the legal requirements, even if in individual cases a different legal basis should be relevant than that stated below. The provision of personal data by you may be required by law or contract or may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract. We will point it out separately if you are obliged to provide personal data and what possible consequences the non-supply would then have (e.g. a loss of claims or our position not to provide the requested service without providing certain information). The use of the Online Service is generally possible without registration. The use of individual functions may require prior registration. Even if you use the Online Service without registration, personal data may still be processed. 3.1 Performance of a contract and pre-contractual measures We process your personal data if this is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request. The data processing is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b) GDPR. The purposes of processing include enabling the use of our specific products and services within the scope of the Online Service. Please also note the details in the respective documents describing our products and services further to this Privacy Policy. 3.2 Compliance with legal obligations We process your personal data to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject. The data processing is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter c) GDPR. These obligations may arise, for example, from commercial, tax, money laundering, financial or criminal law. The purposes of the processing result from the respective legal obligation; as a rule, the processing serves the purpose of complying with state control and information obligations. 3.3 Safeguarding of legitimate interests We also process your personal data to pursue the legitimate interests of ourselves or third parties, unless your rights, which require the protection of your personal data, outweigh these interests. The data processing is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) GDPR. The processing to safeguard legitimate interests is carried out for the following purposes or to safeguard the following interests. Further development of products, services and support offers as well as other measures to control business transactions and processes; Handling of non-contractual inquiries and concerns; Ensuring legally compliant actions, prevention of and protection against legal violations (especially criminal offences), assertion of and defense against legal claims, internal and external compliance measures; Ensuring availability, operation and security of technical systems as well as technical data management; Answering and evaluation of contact requests and feedback. 3.3.1 Retrieval of the online offer When you call up the Online Service, data relating to your end device and your use of the online offer are processed and stored in a so-called log file. This concerns in particular technical data such as date and time of access, duration of the visit, type of terminal device, operating system used, functions used, amount of data sent, IP address and referrer URL. We process this data to ensure technical operation and to determine and eliminate faults. In doing so, we pursue the interest of permanently ensuring technical operability. We do not use this data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. 3.4 Consent We process your personal data on the basis of corresponding consent. The data processing is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a) GDPR. If you give your consent, it is always for a specific purpose; the purposes of processing are determined by the content of your declaration of consent. You may revoke any consent you have given at any time, without affecting the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent until revocation. 3.5 Change of purpose If we process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which the data was collected, beyond the scope of a corresponding consent or a mandatory legal basis, we will take into account, in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 4 GDPR, the compatibility of the original and the now pursued purpose, the nature of the personal data, the possible consequences of further processing for you and the guarantees for the protection of the personal data. 3.6 Profiling We do not carry out automated decision making or profiling in accordance with Article 22 GDPR. Profiling is only carried out to protect our legitimate interests as described above. 4. Access authorizations in the end device To the extent functions of the Online Service require the granting of authorization to access your end device (e.g. access to location data or photos), the granting of these authorizations is voluntary. However, if you wish to use the corresponding functions, you must grant the appropriate authorizations, otherwise you will not be able to use these functions. The permissions remain active as long as you have not reset them in your device by deactivating the respective setting. 5. Cookies and comparable technologies We use cookies and comparable technologies in connection with the Online Service which serve to communicate with your end device and exchange stored information (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Cookies"). These Cookies are primarily used to make the functions of the Online Service usable. General examples in which the use of Cookies is technically required in this sense are the storage of a language selection, login data or a shopping or watch list. Accordingly, technically required Cookies may be used by us to enable the processing described in section 3.1 and to ensure the proper and secure operation of the Online Service. The data processing is then carried out on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letters b) and f) GDPR, as it is necessary to implement the functions you have selected or to protect our legitimate interest in the functionality of the Online Service. If you do not wish to use Cookies in general, you can also prevent their storage by adjusting the settings of your end device accordingly. Stored Cookies can be deleted at any time in the system settings of your terminal device. Please note that blocking certain types of Cookies can lead to impaired use of the Online Service. Furthermore, we use other technologies which, like cookies, serve to ensure the secure and user-friendly usability of the website (e.g. by protecting against misuse or evaluating usage). Technically, these additional technologies differ from cookies, as they do not store any information on your end device or access information already stored there. Insofar as these additional technologies process data that is subject to data protection law (e.g. IP addresses), we process this data on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letters b) and f) GDPR to provide the website, to ensure technical operation and for the purpose of identifying and eliminating faults. In doing so, we also pursue the interest of permanently ensuring the technical functionality of the website, improving its performance and optimising the user experience. When you access our website, this data is automatically processed. Without the provision of this data, you will not be able to use our website. We do not use this data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person or identity. 6. Integrated third-party services Insofar as we integrate services of other providers within the scope of the Online Service in order to provide you with certain content or functions (e.g. playing videos or route planning) and we process personal data in the process, this is done on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letters b) and f) GDPR. This is because the data processing is then necessary to implement the functions you have selected or to protect our legitimate interest in an optimal range of functions of the Online Service. Insofar as Cookies may be used within the scope of these third-party services, the statements under Section 5 apply. Please also refer to the privacy policy of the respective third-party provider with regard to the third-party services. Services of other providers which we integrate or to which we refer are provided by the respective third parties. We have no influence on the content and function of the third-party services and are generally not responsible for the processing of your personal data by their providers, unless the third-party services are completely designed on our behalf and then integrated by us on our own responsibility. Insofar as the integration of a third-party service results in us establishing joint processes with its provider, we will define with this provider in an agreement on joint controllership pursuant to Article 26 GDPR how the respective tasks and responsibilities in the processing of personal data are structured and who fulfils which data protection obligations. Insofar as Cookies are to be set on the basis of your consent, you will receive further information on the responsibility for setting these Cookies and any associated third-party services in the corresponding area of the consent management. Unless otherwise stated, profiles on social media are generally only included in the Online Service as a link to the corresponding third-party services. After clicking on the integrated text/image link, you will be redirected to the offer of the respective social media provider. After the redirection, personal data may be collected directly by the third-party provider. If you are logged in to your user account of the respective social media provider, the provider may be able to assign the collected information of the specific visit to your personal user account. If you interact via a "share" button of the respective social media provider, this information can be stored in the personal user account and published if necessary. If you want to prevent the collected information from being assigned directly to your user account, you must log out before clicking the included text/image link. 7. Sources and categories of data in case of third party collection We also process personal data that we receive from third parties or from publicly accessible sources.

The processors may only use the data in accordance with our instructions.

Data processing in third countries If a data transfer takes place to entities whose registered office or place of data processing is not located in a member state of the European Union, another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or a state for which an adequate level of data protection has been determined by a decision of the European Commission, we will ensure prior to the transfer that either the data transfer is covered by a statutory permit, that guarantees for an adequate level of data protection with regard to the data transfer are in place (e.g., through the agreement of contractual warranties, officially recognized regulations or binding internal data protection regulations at the recipient), or that you have given your consent to the data transfer. If the data is transferred on the basis of Articles 46, 47 or 49 paragraph 1, subparagraph 2 GDPR, you can obtain from us a copy or reference to the availability of the guarantees for an adequate level of data protection in relation to the data transfer. Please use the information provided under Section 1. 10. Storage duration, erasure of data We store your personal data, if there is legal permission to do so, only as long as necessary to achieve the intended purposes or as long as you have not revoked your consent. In the event of an objection to processing, we will delete your personal data, unless further processing is still permitted by law. We will also delete your personal data if we are obliged to do so for other legal reasons. Applying these general principles, we will usually delete your personal data immediately after the legal permission has ceased to apply and provided that no other legal basis (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods) intervenes. If the latter applies, we will delete the data after the other legal basis has ceased to apply; if your personal data is no longer required for the purposes we pursue and no other legal basis (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods) intervenes. If the latter is the case, we will delete the data after the other legal basis has ceased to apply. 11.
