The use of Superstruktur's website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, there are situations where you interact with the website (e.g. via the contact form) where personal data is collected. Through this privacy policy, I would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data collected, used, and processed by me. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights through this privacy policy.

Since data protection is also important to me, as the data controller, I have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every visitor is free to transmit personal data to me through alternative means, for example by telephone. The legal foundations of data protection can be found in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter GDPR) and in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact me at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulation maker to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The data subject withdraws the 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 the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data have 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 have 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 arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by me, they may contact me at any time. I will comply with the erasure request without delay. If the personal data have been made public by me and I am obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, I shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulation maker to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following 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 instead the restriction of their use.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are 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 whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by me, they may contact me at any time. I will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to Data Portability

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulation maker 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 which the personal data have been 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 that 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, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact me at any time.

g) Right to Object

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulation maker 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.

In the event of an objection, I will no longer process the personal data unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If I process 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 also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to me processing for direct marketing purposes, I 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 which is carried out by me for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such 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 directly contact me. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulation maker 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, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is 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 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 the controller, or (2) it is based on the explicit consent of the data subject, I 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 the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, they may contact me at any time.
