Privacy Policy

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enter­prise. Data pro­tec­tion is of a par­tic­u­larly high pri­or­ity for the man­age­ment of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’. The use of the Inter­net pages of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ is pos­sible without any indic­a­tion of 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 stat­utory basis for such pro­cessing, we gen­er­ally obtain con­sent from 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 to the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’. 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, by means of this data pro­tec­tion declar­a­tion, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the con­trol­ler, the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ 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 in prin­ciple have secur­ity gaps, so abso­lute pro­tec­tion may not be guar­an­teed. For this reason, every data sub­ject is free to trans­fer per­sonal data to us via altern­at­ive means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data pro­tec­tion declar­a­tion of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ is based on the terms used by the European legis­lator for the adop­tion of the Gen­eral Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR). Our data pro­tec­tion declar­a­tion should be legible and under­stand­able for the gen­eral pub­lic, as well as our cus­tom­ers and busi­ness part­ners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the ter­min­o­logy used.

In this data pro­tec­tion declar­a­tion, we use, inter alia, the fol­low­ing terms:

• a)    Per­sonal data Per­sonal data means any inform­a­tion relat­ing to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fi­able nat­ural per­son (“data sub­ject”). An iden­ti­fi­able nat­ural per­son is one who 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 factors spe­cific to the phys­ical, physiolo­gical, genetic, men­tal, eco­nomic, cul­tural or social iden­tity of that nat­ural person.
• b) Data sub­ject Data sub­ject is any iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fi­able nat­ural per­son, whose per­sonal data is pro­cessed by the con­trol­ler respons­ible for the processing.
• c)    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.
• d)    Restric­tion of pro­cessing Restric­tion of pro­cessing is the mark­ing of stored per­sonal data with the aim of lim­it­ing their pro­cessing in the future.
• e)    Pro­fil­ing Pro­fil­ing means 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.
• f)     Pseud­onymisa­tion 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.
• g)    Con­trol­ler or con­trol­ler respons­ible for the pro­cessing Con­trol­ler or con­trol­ler respons­ible for the 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 is a nat­ural or legal per­son, pub­lic author­ity, agency or other body which pro­cesses per­sonal data on behalf of the controller.
• i)      Recip­i­ent Recip­i­ent is a nat­ural or legal per­son, pub­lic author­ity, agency or another body, to which the per­sonal data are dis­closed, whether a third party or not. How­ever, pub­lic author­it­ies which 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; the pro­cessing of those data by those pub­lic author­it­ies shall be in com­pli­ance with the applic­able data pro­tec­tion rules accord­ing to the pur­poses of the processing.
• j)      Third party Third party is a nat­ural or legal per­son, pub­lic author­ity, agency or body other than the data sub­ject, con­trol­ler, pro­cessor and per­sons who, under the dir­ect author­ity of the con­trol­ler or pro­cessor, are author­ised to pro­cess per­sonal data.
• k)    Con­sent Con­sent of the data sub­ject 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 relat­ing to him or her.

2. Name and Address of the controller

Con­trol­ler for the pur­poses of the Gen­eral Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR), other data pro­tec­tion laws applic­able in Mem­ber states of the European Union and other pro­vi­sions related to data pro­tec­tion is:

Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’

Oet­tin­gen­straße 67

80538 München

Deutsch­land

Email: cos@ekwee.uni-muenchen.de

Web­site: www.thesocial.ekwee.lmu.de

3. Collection of general data and information

The web­site of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ col­lects a series of gen­eral data and inform­a­tion when a data sub­ject or auto­mated sys­tem calls up the web­site. This gen­eral data and inform­a­tion are stored in the server log files. Col­lec­ted may be (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, (5) the date and time of access to the Inter­net site, (6) an Inter­net pro­tocol address (IP address), (7) the Inter­net ser­vice pro­vider 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 these gen­eral data and inform­a­tion, the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ does not draw any con­clu­sions about the data sub­ject. Rather, this inform­a­tion is needed to (1) deliver the con­tent of our web­site cor­rectly, (2) optim­ize the con­tent of our web­site as well as its advert­ise­ment, (3) ensure the long-term viab­il­ity of our inform­a­tion tech­no­logy sys­tems and web­site tech­no­logy, and (4) provide law enforce­ment author­it­ies with the inform­a­tion neces­sary for crim­inal pro­sec­u­tion in case of a cyber-attack. There­fore, the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ ana­lyzes anonym­ously col­lec­ted data and inform­a­tion stat­ist­ic­ally, with the aim of increas­ing the data pro­tec­tion and data secur­ity of our enter­prise, and to ensure an optimal level of pro­tec­tion for the per­sonal data we pro­cess. The anonym­ous data of the server log files are stored sep­ar­ately from all per­sonal data provided by a data subject.

4. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website

The com­ments made in the blog of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ may be sub­scribed to by third parties. In par­tic­u­lar, there is the pos­sib­il­ity that a com­menter sub­scribes to the com­ments fol­low­ing his com­ments on a par­tic­u­lar blog post.

If a data sub­ject decides to sub­scribe to the option, the con­trol­ler will send an auto­matic con­firm­a­tion e‑mail to check the double opt-in pro­ced­ure as to whether the owner of the spe­cified e‑mail address decided in favor of this option. The option to sub­scribe to com­ments may be ter­min­ated at any time.

5. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data con­trol­ler shall pro­cess and store the 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 to.

If the stor­age pur­pose is not applic­able, or if a stor­age period pre­scribed by the European legis­lator or another com­pet­ent legis­lator expires, the per­sonal data are routinely blocked or erased in accord­ance with legal requirements.

6. Rights of the data subject

• a) Right of con­firm­a­tion Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator to obtain from the con­trol­ler the con­firm­a­tion as to whether or not per­sonal data con­cern­ing him or her are being pro­cessed. If a data sub­ject wishes to avail him­self of this right of con­firm­a­tion, he or she may, at any time, con­tact any employee of the controller.
• b) Right of access Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator to obtain from the con­trol­ler free inform­a­tion about his or her per­sonal data stored at any time and a copy of this inform­a­tion. Fur­ther­more, the European dir­ect­ives and reg­u­la­tions grant the data sub­ject access to the fol­low­ing inform­a­tion:
  • the pur­poses of the processing;
  • the cat­egor­ies of per­sonal data concerned;
  • 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 the right to request from the con­trol­ler rec­ti­fic­a­tion or eras­ure of per­sonal data, or restric­tion of pro­cessing of per­sonal data con­cern­ing the data sub­ject, or to object to such processing;
  • the exist­ence of the right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vis­ory authority;
  • where the per­sonal data are not col­lec­ted from the data sub­ject, any avail­able inform­a­tion as to their source;
  • the exist­ence of auto­mated decision-mak­ing, includ­ing pro­fil­ing, referred to in Art­icle 22(1) and (4) of the 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 shall have a right to obtain inform­a­tion as to whether per­sonal data are trans­ferred to a third coun­try or to an inter­na­tional organ­isa­tion. Where this is the case, the data sub­ject shall have the right to be informed of the appro­pri­ate safe­guards relat­ing to the trans­fer. If a data sub­ject wishes to avail him­self of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, con­tact any employee of the controller.
• c) Right to rec­ti­fic­a­tion Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator to obtain from the con­trol­ler without undue delay the rec­ti­fic­a­tion of inac­cur­ate per­sonal data con­cern­ing him or her. Tak­ing into account the pur­poses of the pro­cessing, the data sub­ject shall have 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 to rec­ti­fic­a­tion, he or she may, at any time, con­tact any employee of the controller.
• d) Right to eras­ure (Right to be for­got­ten) Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator to obtain from the con­trol­ler the eras­ure of per­sonal data con­cern­ing him or her without undue delay, and the con­trol­ler shall have the oblig­a­tion to erase per­sonal data without undue delay where one of the fol­low­ing grounds applies, as long 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 con­sent to which the pro­cessing is based accord­ing to point (a) of Art­icle 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Art­icle 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data sub­ject objects to the pro­cessing pur­su­ant to Art­icle 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no over­rid­ing legit­im­ate grounds for the pro­cessing, or the data sub­ject objects to the pro­cessing pur­su­ant to Art­icle 21(2) of the 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) of the GDPR.
  If one of the afore­men­tioned reas­ons applies, and a data sub­ject wishes to request the eras­ure of per­sonal data stored by the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’, he or she may, at any time, con­tact any employee of the con­trol­ler. An employee of Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ shall promptly ensure that the eras­ure request is com­plied with imme­di­ately. Where the con­trol­ler has made per­sonal data pub­lic and is obliged pur­su­ant to Art­icle 17(1) to erase the per­sonal data, the con­trol­ler, tak­ing account of avail­able tech­no­logy and the cost of imple­ment­a­tion, shall take reas­on­able steps, includ­ing tech­nical meas­ures, to inform other con­trol­lers pro­cessing the per­sonal data that the data sub­ject has reques­ted eras­ure by such con­trol­lers of any links to, or copy or rep­lic­a­tion of, those per­sonal data, as far as pro­cessing is not required. An employ­ees of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ will arrange the neces­sary meas­ures in indi­vidual cases.
• e) Right of restric­tion of pro­cessing Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator 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 instead.
  • 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 defence of legal claims.
  • The data sub­ject has objec­ted to pro­cessing pur­su­ant to Art­icle 21(1) of the 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 the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’, he or she may at any time con­tact any employee of the con­trol­ler. The employee of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ will arrange the restric­tion of the processing.
• f) Right to data port­ab­il­ity Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator, to receive the per­sonal data con­cern­ing him or her, which was provided to a con­trol­ler, in a struc­tured, com­monly used and machine-read­able format. He or she shall have the right to trans­mit those data to another con­trol­ler without hindrance from the con­trol­ler to which the per­sonal data have been provided, 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, as long as 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 his or her right to data port­ab­il­ity pur­su­ant to Art­icle 20(1) of the GDPR, the data sub­ject shall have the right to have 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. In order to assert the right to data port­ab­il­ity, the data sub­ject may at any time con­tact any employee of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’.
• g) Right to object Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator to object, on grounds relat­ing to his or her par­tic­u­lar situ­ation, at any time, to pro­cessing of per­sonal data con­cern­ing him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Art­icle 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to pro­fil­ing based on these pro­vi­sions. The Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ shall no longer pro­cess the per­sonal data in the event of the objec­tion, unless we can demon­strate com­pel­ling legit­im­ate grounds for the pro­cessing which over­ride the interests, rights and freedoms of the data sub­ject, or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims. If the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ pro­cesses per­sonal data for dir­ect mar­ket­ing pur­poses, the data sub­ject shall have the right to object at any time to pro­cessing of per­sonal data con­cern­ing him or her for such mar­ket­ing. This applies to pro­fil­ing to the extent that it is related to such dir­ect mar­ket­ing. If the data sub­ject objects to the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ to the pro­cessing for dir­ect mar­ket­ing pur­poses, the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ will no longer pro­cess the per­sonal data for these pur­poses. In addi­tion, the data sub­ject has the right, on grounds relat­ing to his or her par­tic­u­lar situ­ation, to object to pro­cessing of per­sonal data con­cern­ing him or her by the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ for sci­entific or his­tor­ical research pur­poses, or for stat­ist­ical pur­poses pur­su­ant to Art­icle 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the pro­cessing is neces­sary for the per­form­ance of a task car­ried out for reas­ons of pub­lic interest. In order to exer­cise the right to object, the data sub­ject may con­tact any employee of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’. In addi­tion, the data sub­ject is free in the con­text of the use of inform­a­tion soci­ety ser­vices, and not­with­stand­ing Dir­ect­ive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by auto­mated means using tech­nical specifications.
• h) Auto­mated indi­vidual decision-mak­ing, 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, as long as the decision (1) is not is neces­sary for enter­ing into, or the per­form­ance of, a con­tract between the data sub­ject and a data con­trol­ler, or (2) is not author­ised 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, the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’ 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 Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’.
• i) Right to with­draw data pro­tec­tion con­sent Each data sub­ject shall have the right gran­ted by the European legis­lator to with­draw his or her con­sent to pro­cessing of his or her per­sonal data at any time. If the data sub­ject wishes to exer­cise the right to with­draw the con­sent, he or she may, at any time, con­tact any employee of the Con­test­a­tions of ‚the Social’.

7. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves 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 for the per­form­ance of a con­tract to which the data sub­ject is party, as is the case, for example, when pro­cessing oper­a­tions are neces­sary for the sup­ply of goods or to provide any other ser­vice, the pro­cessing is based on Art­icle 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such pro­cessing oper­a­tions which are neces­sary for car­ry­ing out pre-con­trac­tual meas­ures, for example in the case of inquir­ies con­cern­ing our products or ser­vices. Is our com­pany sub­ject to a legal oblig­a­tion by which pro­cessing of per­sonal data is required, such as for the ful­fill­ment of tax oblig­a­tions, the pro­cessing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the pro­cessing of per­sonal data may be neces­sary to pro­tect the vital interests of the data sub­ject or of 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 would have to be passed on to a doc­tor, hos­pital or other third party. Then the pro­cessing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, pro­cessing oper­a­tions could be based on Art­icle 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for pro­cessing oper­a­tions which are not covered by any of the above­men­tioned legal grounds, if pro­cessing is neces­sary for the pur­poses of the legit­im­ate interests pur­sued by our com­pany or by a third party, except where such interests are over­rid­den by the interests or fun­da­mental rights and freedoms of the data sub­ject which require pro­tec­tion of per­sonal data. Such pro­cessing oper­a­tions are par­tic­u­larly per­miss­ible because they have been spe­cific­ally men­tioned by the European legis­lator. He con­sidered that a legit­im­ate interest could be assumed if the data sub­ject is a cli­ent of the con­trol­ler (Recital 47 Sen­tence 2 GDPR).

8. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the pro­cessing of per­sonal data is based on Art­icle 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legit­im­ate interest is to carry out our busi­ness in favor of the well-being of all our employ­ees and the shareholders.

9. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The cri­teria used to determ­ine the period of stor­age of per­sonal data is the respect­ive stat­utory reten­tion period. After expir­a­tion of that period, the cor­res­pond­ing data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer neces­sary for the ful­fill­ment of the con­tract or the ini­ti­ation of a contract.

10. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We cla­rify that the pro­vi­sion of per­sonal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax reg­u­la­tions) or can also res­ult from con­trac­tual pro­vi­sions (e.g. inform­a­tion on the con­trac­tual part­ner). Some­times it may be neces­sary to con­clude a con­tract that the data sub­ject provides us with per­sonal data, which must sub­sequently be pro­cessed by us. The data sub­ject is, for example, obliged to provide us with per­sonal data when our com­pany signs a con­tract with him or her. The non-pro­vi­sion of the per­sonal data would have the con­sequence that the con­tract with the data sub­ject could not be con­cluded. Before per­sonal data is provided by the data sub­ject, the data sub­ject must con­tact any employee. The employee cla­ri­fies to the data sub­ject 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 the con­sequences of non-pro­vi­sion of the per­sonal data.
