Privacy Policy
The offer available at www.blog.bestforming.de is provided by Erhardt & Kellner GmbH, legally represented by the Managing Director Andreas Kellner, Ladenbergstraße 7 in 14195 Berlin (“BestForming”, “we” or “us”) as the controller within the meaning of the applicable data protection law. With this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy explains the rights to which affected persons are entitled. You can access this privacy information at any time under the “Privacy” section on the website. Use of the Erhardt & Kellner GmbH websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if an affected person wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the affected person. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of an affected person, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Erhardt & Kellner GmbH. As the controller responsible for processing personal data, Erhardt & Kellner GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every affected person is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone. 1. Definitions The privacy policy of Erhardt & Kellner GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for directives and regulations when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for both the public and 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 others, the following terms: • a) Personal data Personal data is all 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 factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. • b) Data subject A 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 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 future processing. • e) Profiling Profiling is 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 (formerly “data 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 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 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 relating to him or her. 2. Name and address of the controller Controller within the meaning of the GDPR, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is: Erhardt & Kellner GmbH Ladenbergstraße 7, 14195 Berlin Tel.: 030-12074735 Fax.: 030-12074735-1 E-Mail: info@erhardt-kellner.de District Court Charlottenburg HRB 164246 Managing Director: Andreas Kellner 3. Name and address of the data protection officer The data protection officer of the controller is: Viviane Bande Erhardt & Kellner GmbH Ladenbergstraße 7, 14195 Berlin Tel.: 030-12074735 Fax.: 030-12074735-1 E-Mail: info@erhardt-kellner.de Any data subject may, at any time, contact our data protection officer directly with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection. 4. Cookies The websites of Agilement use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser. Many internet sites 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 string of characters through which internet sites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited internet sites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, Agilement can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies enable us 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 again 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 the cookie of 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 the setting of cookies 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, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common 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. 5. Collection of general data and information The website of Agilement collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following can be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that 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 that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, Agilement does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as 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. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Agilement statistically and also 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 are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. 7. Disclosure of data It may happen that we also pass on your data to other recipients within the scope of the purposes mentioned in section 6, as already specified there in detail. In the context of providing the offer and the associated functions and services, we pass on your data, for example, to matchplan GmbH, Sigmaringer Straße 58, 70567 Stuttgart, T: +49 711 -16917480. Data is also passed on to third parties if there is a legal obligation to do so or if the disclosure serves law enforcement purposes. In some cases, we use service providers bound by instructions for certain data processing activities. These are exclusively service providers bound by instructions who process the data on our behalf and according to our instructions. 8. Contact option via the website The website of Agilement contains, due to legal regulations, information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of these personal data to third parties. 9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the legal provisions. 10. Rights of the data subject • a) Right to confirmation Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. • b) Right of access Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information from the controller about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information: o the purposes of the processing o the categories of personal data being processed o the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations o if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration o the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing o the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority o if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information about the source of the data o the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and — at least in these cases — meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject Furthermore, the data subject has a right to know 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 be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they can contact an employee of the 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 request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed — also by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact an employee of the 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 request from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary: o The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary. o The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing. o The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR. o The personal data have been unlawfully processed. o The erasure of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. o The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR. If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Agilement, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Agilement will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately. If the personal data have been made public by Agilement and our company as controller is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Foxlaw, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The employee of Agilement will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases. • e) Right to restriction of processing Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the restriction of processing from the controller if one of the following conditions is met: o 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. o The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use. o 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. o The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Agilement, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Foxlaw will arrange for the restriction of processing. • f) Right to data portability Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which were provided by the data subject 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, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that 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 Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Agilement at any time. • g) Right to object Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Agilement will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If Agilement processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Agilement to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Agilement will no longer process the personal data for these 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, which is carried out by Agilement for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) 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 contact any employee of Agilement or another employee directly. 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 decisions in individual cases including profiling Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator 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, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a 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 controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Agilement 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 assert rights concerning automated decisions, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. • i) Right to withdraw data protection consent Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator 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 can contact an employee of the controller at any time. 11. Data protection information on the use of cookies, plug-ins, social media applications, online advertising, and payment services a. Google Analytics (with anonymization function) The controller 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 evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrer), 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 to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” extension for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this extension, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our websites is from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This data transfer is based on a corresponding EU-US Privacy Shield certification of Google, which can be viewed at the following address: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to 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 showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. 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 and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system 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 gains knowledge 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. By means of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject are stored. Each time our websites are visited, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical process on to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described 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 data subject’s IT system. In addition, a cookie 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 to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s IT system 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 deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://policies.google.com/privacy/update?hl=de&gl=de/ and at 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/. b) Facebook The controller 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, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests. The operating company 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 the processing of 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 and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system 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 accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook is informed about 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 for 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 activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the “Like” button, or if the data subject leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they 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://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update?ref=old_policy, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. As a Facebook member, you can also edit your account settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/ and object to data collection via Custom Audiences across devices. Further information on Facebook’s data protection can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update?ref=old_policy. The opt-out option can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/ and here: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/. 13. Legal basis for processing Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company 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, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying 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 the processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become 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 their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR). 14. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of our company, our employees, and our shareholders. 15. Duration for which the personal data are stored The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period has expired, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation. If there is no statutory retention requirement, the data are deleted or destroyed when they are no longer required to achieve the company’s purposes. The same applies if the purpose for which the data are stored ceases to apply or if the data subject withdraws their consent to processing. 16. Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for contract conclusion; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual arrangements (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Different retention periods apply, so data relevant for tax purposes are generally kept for 10 years, other data according to commercial law regulations are generally kept for 6 years. In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a 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 if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data 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 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 what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be. 17. Planned transfers to third countries A transfer to third countries is generally not planned and does not take place unless this is done separately in accordance with the previously described information on the use of third-party technology (cookies, tools). 18. Existence of automated decision-making As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling. 19. Changes to our data protection information The BestForming offer may be changed from time to time, in particular to further improve the functionalities of our platform or our offers/services. Such changes may also affect the use of your personal data. For this reason, we reserve the right to change this privacy information at any time. The current version is available on our website under the “Privacy” section. Please inform yourself regularly about the current status of the privacy information in this way. Status: 23.05.2018
