Newsletter dispatch
Purpose
You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter via our website. This allows you to stay up to date and receive interesting topic-related information and invitations to our events. For this purpose, we require your name, your e-mail address and your declaration that you agree to receive the newsletter. When you subscribe to our newsletter, we will also store your IP address and the date and time of your registration. This serves as a safeguard on our part and as proof of your consent in the event that a third party misuses your email address and subscribes to our newsletter without your knowledge.
In addition, statistics on opening, reading and clicking behaviour are compiled in connection with the newsletter. This enables us to offer you better services and to send you only the information that is of real interest to you.
Legal basis
The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with § 174(3) TKG 2021. The compilation of statistics is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, whereby our interest arises from the aforementioned purpose. Of course, you can also object to this by unsubscribing from the newsletter.
Recipients
Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties. We use the tool “The Newsletter Plugin” from “Web Agile S.a.s. di Fietta Roberto” to send out the newsletter. This company has undertaken to comply with data protection regulations.
Storage period
Deletion or non-processing for the above purpose takes place after unsubscribing from the newsletter.
Revocation
You can cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time by clicking on the “Unsubscribe newsletter” button or, of course, by contacting us by e-mail. We will then immediately delete your data in connection with the newsletter dispatch. The legality of the processing carried out between your consent and revocation remains unaffected.
Necessity of provision
You are under no obligation to provide this data. Without providing your data, you cannot receive our newsletter.
4. Your rights
If your personal data is processed (collected, recorded, stored, evaluated, modified, read, queried, disclosed, disseminated, compared, linked, restricted, deleted, destroyed, etc.), you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR.
As a data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis any controller who processes your personal data:
Right to information
In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to submit a request for information and to request information about all data concerning you that is processed by the company. In such a case, information about this data must be provided. In addition, you have the right to receive the following information:
- The purposes of processing
- The categories of personal data that are processed.
- The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations.
- If possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration.
- The existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing.
- The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
- If the personal data is not collected from you, all available information about the origin of the data.
- The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you.
- Appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR when personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organization.
Rectification
Pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request the immediate rectification and/or completion of inaccurate personal data concerning you.
Erasure
Pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request that personal data concerning you be erased without delay. The controller is obliged to erase personal data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:
- Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
- You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
- You object to the processing in accordance with 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.
- Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
- The erasure of your personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
- Your personal data has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary:
- for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information,
- 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,
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR,
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the above-mentioned right is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing, or
- for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to delete it, it shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that a data subject has requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications thereof.
Restriction
Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request the restriction of processing if:
- the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
- the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead,
- the controller no longer needs your personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or
- you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, as long as it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.
If processing has been restricted, such personal data may — apart from its storage — only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. The lifting of a restriction obtained by you requires your prior notification.
Notification
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing. Unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
Data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. And you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that
- the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or
- on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and
- the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
You may also request that your personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. It must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
Objection
Pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, 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 carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The right to object can therefore be exercised if the
- processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms requiring the protection of personal data do not override those interests (in particular if you are a child) and
- the controller cannot demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing does not serve to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
The right to object may also be exercised if the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes. In connection with the use of information society services, you may exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
Withdrawal of consent
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Complaint
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, please contact us. This will allow us to address your concerns. However, you also have the right to contact the competent data protection authority.
