You have the following rights vis-à-vis us concerning personal data relating to your person:

  • right to information,
  • right to rectification or erasure,
  • right to restriction of processing,
  • right to data portability.
15.1 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about processing of your personal data by us. The competent supervisory authority relevant in our case is:

https://lfd.niedersachsen.de/startseite/

15.2 Right of objection and revocation

If you have granted consent to the processing of your data, you are entitled to revoke this at any time. After informing us of such a revocation, this influences permissibility of the processing of your personal data.

 

Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests (the legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), you may object to the processing. This is the case, in particular, if the processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you. This is described by us in each case in the description of the individual data processing and functions available on our website in an earlier section of this privacy policy. If you submit such an objection, we would request you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the way we have been doing.

We also use technical and organizational safety measures to protect personal data that we receive or collect, in particular against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against attack by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

 

Transmission of your personal data is encrypted using SSL technology (https) to prevent access by unauthorized third parties.

16.1 Communication by e-mail

Our e-mail systems support encrypted communication using SSL technology (TLS 1.2 incl. PFS). It is therefore fundamentally possible to encrypt the transmission of your e-mail. Please note, however, that encryption also depends on the configuration of your e-mail program and therefore we cannot guarantee complete data security for the transport route.

 

For information requiring a high level of confidentiality, we recommend that you send it by post.
