Privacy

We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Kingdom Factory. The use of the website propilot-journey.com is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services provided by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to propilot-journey.com. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights through this privacy policy.

Kingdom Factory, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Kingdom Factory is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy aims to be both easy to read and understand for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.

b) Data Subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for processing.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of Processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling refers to any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or Controller Responsible for Processing

The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body, to which personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third Party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

3. Cookies

The websites of Kingdom Factory GbR use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Numerous cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Kingdom Factory GbR can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Through cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned, cookies allow us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not need to re-enter their login details every time they visit the website, as this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time through an appropriate setting in the internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. 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.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Kingdom Factory GbR 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 are stored in the server’s log files. The data collected may include:

  1. Browser types and versions used,

  2. The operating system used by the accessing system,

  3. The website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrers),

  4. The subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system,

  5. The date and time of access to the website,

  6. An Internet Protocol (IP) address,

  7. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the accessing system, and

  8. Any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, bergperle.de does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is required to:

  1. Deliver the content of our website correctly,

  2. Optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisements,

  3. Ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology, and

  4. Provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore analyzed statistically by bergperle.de and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Contact Options via the Website

The website of Kingdom Factory GbR contains information required by law to enable quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication, including a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data, voluntarily transmitted by the data subject to the data controller, is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

6. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the European directives and regulations or other applicable laws to which the data controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by European directives, regulations, or other competent legislators expires, personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to obtain confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact any employee of the data controller at any time.

b) Right of Access
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to obtain free information from the data controller at any time about their stored personal data and a copy of this information. Furthermore, European directives and regulations grant access to the following information:

  • the purposes of processing;

  • the categories of personal data processed;

  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, particularly recipients in third countries or international organizations;

  • if possible, the planned period for which personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria for determining this period;

  • the existence of a right to request rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing;

  • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, under Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in such cases, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Moreover, the data subject has a right to know whether personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed about appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact any employee of the data controller at any time.

c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact any employee of the data controller at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to obtain from the data controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for processing.

  • The data subject objects to processing under Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to processing under Article 21(2) GDPR.

  • The personal data has been unlawfully processed.

  • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

  • The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Kingdom Factory, they may contact any employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of Kingdom Factory will ensure that the erasure request is promptly complied with.

If the personal data has been made public by Kingdom Factory and our company is obligated under Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Kingdom Factory, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of Kingdom Factory will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to obtain from the data controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

  • The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.

  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Kingdom Factory, they may contact any employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of Kingdom Factory will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of others are not adversely affected.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of Kingdom Factory at any time.

g) Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Kingdom Factory shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If Kingdom Factory processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Kingdom Factory to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Kingdom Factory will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Kingdom Factory. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized 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 not 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, Kingdom Factory 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 their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If a data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated decision-making, they may contact any employee of the data controller at any time.

i) Right to Withdraw Consent
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to withdraw consent to the processing of their personal data at any time.

If a data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact any employee of the data controller at any time.

8. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Instagram

The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service into this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform, enabling users to share photos and videos as well as redistribute such data on other social networks.

The operator of Instagram's services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time an individual page of this website, operated by the data controller, that incorporates an Instagram component (Insta button) is accessed, the web browser on the data subject's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding Instagram component. During this technical process, Instagram is made aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which specific subpage the data subject is visiting with every access to our website and for the entire duration of their visit. This information is collected by the Instagram component and associated with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject interacts with one of the Instagram buttons integrated into our website, the transmitted data and information are assigned to the personal Instagram account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram receives information through the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not wish such information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

Further information and Instagram's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

9. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Facebook

The data controller has integrated components of Facebook into this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online platform for social interaction and community building that generally allows users to communicate and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or for providing personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect with others through friendship requests.

The operator of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If the data subject resides outside the United States or Canada, the data controller for personal data processing is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Every time an individual page of this website operated by the data controller that includes a Facebook component (Facebook plugin) is accessed, the web browser on the data subject’s IT 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 plugins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. During this technical process, Facebook is made aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits with every access and for the entire duration of their stay. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject interacts with a Facebook button integrated into our website, such as the "Like" button, or leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook account of the data subject and stores it.

Facebook receives information through the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website, regardless of whether the data subject interacts with the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about Facebook’s collection, processing, and use of personal data. Additionally, it explains the privacy settings available to protect the data subject's privacy. Furthermore, various applications are available to prevent data transmission to Facebook. These applications can be used by the data subject to block data transmission to Facebook.

10. Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company when processing operations require obtaining consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as in cases of processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This could occur, for instance, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital data needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. These processing operations are permitted particularly because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

12. Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and efficient operation of our online offering in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate users' use of our online offering, compile reports on activities within this online offering, and provide other services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users may be created based on the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means the users' IP addresses are truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly. Users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offering by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on data use by Google, settings, and opt-out options can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

The users' personal data will be deleted after 14 months.

13. Privacy Policy for PayPal as a Payment Method

The data controller has integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments through credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, so there is no classic account number. PayPal allows online payments to be triggered to third parties or payments to be received. Furthermore, PayPal acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects "PayPal" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online store, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal generally includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, phone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also required to fulfill the purchase contract.

The purpose of data transmission is payment processing and fraud prevention. The data controller will transmit personal data to PayPal, particularly if there is a legitimate interest for the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the data controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal may disclose personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, provided this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or process data on behalf of PayPal.

The data subject can revoke their consent to the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

PayPal's applicable privacy policy can be accessed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

14. Legal Basis for Processing (continued)

As mentioned earlier, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where consent is obtained for a specific purpose. If the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as in cases where it is necessary for the delivery of goods or provision of services, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, when responding to inquiries regarding products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring personal data processing, such as for tax obligations, the processing will be based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, personal data processing may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another person, such as in cases of injury on our premises, requiring us to share vital information with a doctor or hospital. In such cases, the processing will be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Lastly, processing operations may also rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This is applicable when processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided these interests do not outweigh the data subject's fundamental rights and freedoms. Such processing is permissible because it is specifically mentioned by the European legislator, who considered that a legitimate interest may be assumed when the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

15. Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the operation of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and stakeholders.

16. Duration for Which Personal Data Is Stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Once the retention period has expired, the corresponding data will routinely be deleted, unless it is still required for the fulfillment of the contract or pre-contractual measures.

17. Legal or Contractual Obligations to Provide Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may arise from contractual obligations (e.g., information about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data, which we must then process. For example, a data subject is required to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. If the personal data is not provided, it would result in the inability to conclude the contract with the data subject. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, and what the consequences would be if the personal data is not provided.

18. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
