6. Legal basis for data processing

We always process your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws.

When processing personal data for the purpose of processing a contractual relationship, the contractual relationship serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

In the case of data processing that is required to fulfill a legal obligation, the relevant legal obligation serves as the legal basis.

For further processing, we rely on our overriding interest, for example, to optimally adapt and continuously improve our offers to the needs of our customers and to carry out marketing activities in order to be able to offer you suitable products or services, as well as to display advertisements that are relevant to you. This is an important basis for the financing and further development of our services. To achieve these interests, the processing of personal data as described by us is necessary. However, we have taken measures to mitigate the impact of data processing for our users. In particular, when we process personal data about children, we take specific precautions (such as excluding them from advertising campaigns) to protect their interests. We have also compared our interest with the interest of our users and have come to the conclusion that we do not unduly affect the interests or fundamental rights of our users with our data processing activities and that our interests are accordingly outweighed in these data processing activities. If you are of a different opinion, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time to the extent permitted by law (see sections 8 and 9).

In cases where we obtain consent for data processing, this will be the legal basis.

7. Storage of personal data

We use and retain your data only as long as it is necessary according to the processing purpose in question, there is another legal basis for it or we have an outweighing legitimate interest in it. We retain data that we hold on the basis of a contractual relationship with you at least as long as the contractual relationship exists and limitation periods for possible claims by us apply or statutory or contractual retention obligations exist.

8. Your rights

8.1. Right to information and correction

Within the legal framework, you have the right to receive information from us at any time and free of charge about whether and which of your personal data we process. In addition, you can request that we correct or complete incorrect data about you in our systems.

8.2. Right to deletion and restriction

You have the right to request that we delete or restrict the processing of your personal data.

Please note that even after your request for deletion of your personal data, we may have to retain it due to legal or contractual retention obligations (for example, for billing purposes) and in this case only restrict or block your data as necessary. Furthermore, deletion of your data may mean that you can no longer obtain or use the services you have registered.

8.3. Right to object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, which you can request from us (see section 9 for details).

8.4. Right to data portability

Where applicable, you may also exercise your right to data portability.

8.5. Withdrawal of consent

You can withdraw your consent to data processing at any time, in principle with effect for the future. In the event of a withdrawal, we may no longer be able to provide you with personalized use of free and/or paid products.

Where applicable, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority regarding data processing activities.
