Our company's privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy statement, we use the following terms, among others:
Personal data is 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 to one or more particular characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
Processing is any process carried out with or without the aid of automated processes or any such series of processes in connection with personal data, such as collecting, organizing, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, using, disclosing through transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or changes of location of that natural person.
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
The person responsible or responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.
Contract processor is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.
The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
Consent is any expression of will given voluntarily by the data subject in an informed and unequivocal manner in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative action by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.
