Privacy is of particular importance to the management of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH. The use of the websites of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH. 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 about their rights through this privacy policy. Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH, 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 may in principle 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 Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH 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 easily readable and understandable for the public, as well as 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 other things, the following terms:
A) Personal Data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "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 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, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, 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 analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, 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 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.
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 authorized 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 concerning him or her.
2. Name and address of the controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is: Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH Schellinggasse 5/3 1010 Vienna Email: office@vivalamamma.at Website: www.vivalamamma.at
3. Cookies
The websites of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user's benefit. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, 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 access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is a cookie for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. The data subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of 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 popular 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 Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each visit to the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data can be collected: (1) the types and versions of browsers 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 which are 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 for defense against threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore statistically analyzed by Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH on the one hand and further evaluated with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data that is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter can be found in the input mask used for this purpose. Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for newsletter delivery. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address first entered by a data subject for newsletter delivery, using the double opt-in procedure, for legal reasons. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject's computer system at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller. The personal data collected as part of a newsletter subscription will only be used to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be notified by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for a related registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. Personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller of this in another way.
6. Newsletter tracking
The newsletters of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH can recognize whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the email were called up by the data subject. Personal data collected via tracking pixels contained in newsletters is stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize newsletter delivery and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the separate consent given via the double opt-in procedure regarding this, as well as to unsubscribe from receiving the newsletter. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from receiving the newsletter automatically indicates revocation to Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH.
7. Contact options via the website
The website of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH contains information, due to legal requirements, that enables rapid electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
8. Routine erasure 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 legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject. If the purpose of storage ceases to apply 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 legal requirements.
9. Rights of the data subject
a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the data controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to receive information about the appropriate guarantees related to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they may contact an 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 the European legislator to demand the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may contact an 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 the European legislator to demand from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them if one of the following reasons applies and if the processing is not necessary:
THE PERSONAL DATA WERE COLLECTED OR OTHERWISE PROCESSED FOR PURPOSES FOR WHICH THEY ARE NO LONGER NECESSARY.
THE DATA SUBJECT REVOKES THEIR CONSENT ON WHICH THE PROCESSING UNDER ARTICLE 6(1)(A) OR ARTICLE 9(2)(A) OF THE GDPR IS BASED, AND THERE IS NO OTHER LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING

IF ONE OF THE ABOVE REASONS APPLIES AND A DATA SUBJECT WISHES TO REQUEST THE DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA STORED AT MAMA & DER BULLE STEAK RESTAURANT GMBH, THEY MAY CONTACT AN EMPLOYEE OF THE RESPONSIBLE PROCESSOR AT ANY TIME. THE EMPLOYEE OF MAMA & DER BULLE STEAK RESTAURANT GMBH WILL ENSURE THAT THE REQUEST FOR DELETION IS COMPLIED WITH IMMEDIATELY.
If personal data have been made public by Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH and our company is obliged as the controller pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR to delete the personal data, Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH shall, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested deletion of all links to such personal data or copies or replications of such personal data, to the extent that processing is not necessary. In individual cases, the employee of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH will take the necessary steps.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator and regulator, to request from the controller the restriction of 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, 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 the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification of 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 personal data stored by Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator and regulator, 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) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) 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 their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has 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. To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH.
g) Right to object
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator and regulator 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) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH 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 defense of legal claims. If Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them by Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH 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. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH or another employee. The data subject is also free in the context of 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
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator and regulator 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, as long as 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, Viva la Mamma Gastronomie GmbH 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 concerning automated decisions, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
i) Right to withdraw consent for data protection Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator and regulator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
10. Data protection in job applications and in the application process The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
11. Data protection regarding the use of Facebook
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is an online meeting place operated on the internet, a virtual community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or allows the online community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests. The operator of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller for processing and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Facebook receives information through the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such transmission of this information to Facebook by the data subject is not desired, the data subject can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings Facebook offers to protect the data subject's privacy. In addition, various applications are available that allow data transmission to Facebook to be suppressed. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
12. Data provisions regarding the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects data, among other things, about from which website a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller responsible for processing uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements. Personal information, such as the access time, the location from which an access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored via the cookie. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics regarding the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
13. Data Protection regarding the Use of Instagram
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and enables users to share photos and videos, as well as distribute such data in other social networks. The operator of Instagram's services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller responsible for processing and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If such transmission of this information to Instagram by the data subject is not desired, the data subject can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
14. Legal Basis for Processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO 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, in processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is 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 I lit. c DS-GVO. 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 then 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 I lit. d DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if 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. 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 DS-GVO).
15. Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
16. Duration for Which the Personal Data will be Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the respective data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
17. Legal or Contractual Obligation to Provide Personal Data; Requirement
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 that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into 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 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 the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
18. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
