data protection

DATA PROTECTION
We are delighted that you have shown interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the following publisher of this website: Brian Rutter. The website can be used without providing any personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, Brian Rutter 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 may 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, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions
Aquavarro's privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easily legible and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:
1) Personal data
Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she 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 to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
2) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
3) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
4) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
5) Profiling
Profiling is 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, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
6) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymisation 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7) Controller or person responsible for processing
The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing 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 his or her nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
8) Processors
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
9) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.
10) Third
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons authorised to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.
11) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

3. Cookies
The website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, Aquavarro can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
Cookies can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their login details every time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart using a cookie.
When you visit our website, you will be informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and your consent will be obtained for the processing of personal data used in this context. In this context, you will also be referred to this privacy policy.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to 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 Aquavarro website 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 is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Aquavarro does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Aquavarro both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.
In addition, the following personal data will also be collected, provided that the express permission of the users concerned is given and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations:
First and last names of users
User email address
Information about your place of residence (postal code, etc.)
The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offering.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, to improve our online service, we store your access data to this website (without any personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. Because the data is anonymized, it is not possible to draw any conclusions about you personally. This does not affect the user's IP addresses or other data that allow the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

5. SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) over HTTPS.

6. Registration on our website
The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the controller's database.
The controller will provide any data subject with information on request at any time about which personal data about the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller will correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

7. Contact option via the website
Due to legal regulations, the Aquavarro website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

8. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

9. Rights of the data subject
1) Right to confirmation
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
2) Right to information
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller at any time free information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to information about the following information:
the processing purposes
the categories of personal data being processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
Where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority
if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
3) Right to rectification
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
4) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to erase personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following reasons applies and to the extent that processing is not necessary:
The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.
The personal data were processed unlawfully.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 Para. 1 GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Aquavarro, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The managing director Brian Rutter will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately. If the personal data was made public by Aquavarro and our company as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase the personal data, Aquavarro shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. The managing director Brian Rutter will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
5) Right to restriction of processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if 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, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 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 Aquavarro, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The managing director Brian Rutter will arrange the restriction of the processing.
6) Right to data portability
Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was made available to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was made available, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing 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. Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 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 when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact Managing Director Brian Rutter at any time.
7) Right to object
Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on Article 6(1) e or f of the GDPR, for reasons related to his or her particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Aquavarro will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If Aquavarro processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her 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 Aquavarro to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Aquavarro will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Aquavarro for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary to perform a task carried out for reasons of public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact Managing Director Brian Rutter or another employee directly. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right of objection by automated means using technical specifications.
8) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the 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. Where the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is made with the data subject's explicit consent, Aquavarro 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 his or her point of view and contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
9) Right to withdraw consent to data protection
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of personal data at any time.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

11. Payment method

1) PayPal: The controller has integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no traditional account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also performs escrow functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl & Cie. SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects "PayPal" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject's data 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 is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data that is necessary for payment processing. Personal data that is related to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract.
The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of checking identity and creditworthiness.
PayPal may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on their behalf.
The person concerned has the option of revoking their consent to PayPal handling personal data at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
PayPal’s applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

2) Klarna: The controller has integrated Klarna components on this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchase on account or flexible installment payments. Klarna also offers other services, such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks.

The operating company of Klarna is Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

If the data subject selects either "purchase on account" or "installment purchase" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject's data will be automatically transmitted to Klarna. By selecting one of these payment options, the data subject consents to this transmission of personal data required to process the purchase on account or installment purchase or for identity and credit checks.
The personal data transmitted to Klarna is usually first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number and other data that is necessary to process an invoice or installment purchase. Personal data that is related to the respective order is also necessary to process the purchase contract. In particular, there may be a mutual exchange of payment information, such as bank details, card number, expiration date and CVC code, number of items, article number, data on goods and services, prices and taxes, information on previous purchasing behavior or other information on the financial situation of the person concerned.
The purpose of transmitting the data is in particular to verify identity, administer payments and prevent fraud. The controller will transmit personal data to Klarna in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Klarna and the controller will be transmitted by Klarna to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of verifying identity and creditworthiness.
Klarna also passes on personal data to affiliated companies (Klarna Group) and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of them.
In order to decide on the establishment, implementation or termination of a contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses data and information about the previous payment behavior of the person concerned as well as probability values ​​for their behavior in the future (so-called scoring). The scoring is calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedures.
The data subject has the option of revoking his or her consent to Klarna handling personal data at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
Klarna’s applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/data/de_de/data_protection.pdf.

3) Sofortüberweisung: The controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung on this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment for products and services on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung is a technical process through which the online retailer receives immediate payment confirmation. This enables a retailer to deliver goods, services or downloads to the customer immediately after the order has been placed.

The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany.

If the data subject selects "Instant bank transfer" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject's data will be automatically transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.
When making a purchase using Sofortüberweisung, the buyer sends the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online retailer after technically checking the account balance and retrieving additional data to check the account balance. The online retailer is then automatically informed that the financial transaction has been completed.
The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data that is necessary for payment processing. The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The person responsible for processing will also transmit other personal data to Sofortüberweisung if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the person responsible for processing may be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of checking identity and creditworthiness.
Sofortüberweisung may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfil the contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of them.
The person concerned has the option of revoking their consent to Sofortüberweisung's handling of personal data at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of Sofortüberweisung can be accessed at https://www.sofort.com/ger-DE/datenschutzerklaerung-sofort-gmbh/.

12. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

13. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or by a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

14. Period for which personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

15. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides 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 the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.

16. Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

17. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
