II. Processing of your data in the context of the education and training services we provide

If you participate in our education and training services or are interested in our services, the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your data depends on the contractual or pre-contractual relationship existing between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all data that is or has been provided by you for the purpose of using the contractual or pre-contractual services and that is required to process your inquiry or the contract concluded between us. This also includes the performance assessment and evaluation of our services and teaching staff.

We will inform you which data is required for this before or during data collection. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

This includes, in particular, information about your health and information that reveals your political opinions or religious or philosophical beliefs (Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR). We process this data exclusively for training services, to protect your health, social protection or your vital interests. If we need the aforementioned data for purposes other than those mentioned above, we will inform you in detail before we process this data and then obtain your express consent.

If it is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract concluded between us, for training services, for the protection of your health, social protection or your vital interests, we may also transfer your data to third parties, such as authorities or tax consultants.

Data concerned:

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)
  • Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices)
  • Contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, postal address)
  • Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, duration of the contract)

Special categories of personal data:

  • Health data
  • Data revealing religious or political beliefs

Concerned subjects: Pupils, trainees, students, interested parties, business and contractual partners

Purpose of processing: Processing contractual services, communication and responding to contact requests, office and organizational procedures

Legal basis: Fulfilment of contract and pre-contractual inquiries, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

III. Your rights under the GDPR

According to the GDPR, you are entitled to the rights listed below, which you can assert at any time with the controller named in section 1 of this privacy policy:

  • Right to information: You have the right to request information from us as to whether and which of your data we process.
  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.
  • Right to restriction: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we only process your data to a limited extent.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or another controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters is responsible.
  1. Right of revocation

You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time.

  • Right to object

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that there are compelling legitimate grounds for data processing that outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time.

Please send your objection to the contact address of the controller given above.

IV. When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this privacy policy – we delete your data

  • if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and therefore the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, e.g.
    • after termination of the contractual or membership relationship existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or
    • after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data ceases to apply (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR),
  • if you exercise your right to object and there is no other legal basis for the processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR,
  • if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for erasure.

However, if we still have to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting documents) or the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will only delete (the part of) your data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we restrict the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).
