II. General Information on Data Processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We strictly process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only after the user's consent. An exception applies in those 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 operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

 

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the Controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

 

4. Security measures

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. These measures include in particular ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, transmission, securing of availability and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data, and reaction to data threats. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data already during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).

 

5. Data processing by third parties

If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) within the scope of our processing, transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of a legal permission, consent, a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

 

III. Provision of the Website and Log Files of www.munirwerner.de

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer (e.g., IP address, browser type, time). The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

 

IV. Web Analysis via Matomo (formerly Piwik)

We use the open-source software tool Matomo on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user's computer (if cookies are allowed). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored: (1) Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system (2) The accessed website (3) The website from which the user reached the accessed website (referrer) (4) The sub-pages that are accessed from the accessed website (5) The length of stay on the website (6) The frequency of access to the website. The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website or our service provider. The personal data of users is stored only there. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

 

V. Integration of Videos (Streaming)

Our website uses a video player to display video content, which loads content from external servers (provided by bitkomplex.de / Visionary Berlin). To display the videos, it is technically necessary for your IP address and other browser-related data to be transmitted to the server on which the video data is stored. This data processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in an appealing presentation of our projects (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

VI. Contact via Email

It is possible to contact us via the provided email address. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

Objection and removal possibility

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

VII. Rights of the Data Subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the Controller:

 

1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from the Controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing exists, you can request information from the Controller about the following information: (1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed; (2) the categories of personal data which are processed; (3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed; (4) the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period; (5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the Controller or a right to object to such processing; (6) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority; (7) all available information on the origin of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject; (8) the existence of automated decision-making including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information on the logic involved as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

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

 

2. Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the Controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The Controller must make the correction immediately.

 

3. Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you: (1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that enables the Controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; (2) the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data; (3) the Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or (4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the Controller outweigh your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of 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 of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the Controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase

You may request the Controller to erase the personal data concerning you immediately, and the Controller is obliged to erase this 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 (1) lit. a or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing. (3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR. (4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully. (5) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the Controller is subject. (6) The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to offered services of the information society pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the Controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, he shall take appropriate 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 the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

 

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary (1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; (2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the Controller is subject or for the performance of 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 area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 (3) GDPR; (4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or (5) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

5. Right to notification

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

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the Controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another Controller without hindrance from the Controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that (1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and (2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one Controller to another Controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data portability 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 to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The Controller no longer processes the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8. Right to revoke the data protection consent declaration

You have the right to revoke your data protection consent declaration at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the Controller, (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the Controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) lit. a or g GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place. In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the Controller implements suitable measures to safeguard your 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 to contest the decision.

10. Right to complain 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 of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
