General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing personal data

As part of the " PARTS SUMMIT" event, we offer the option to register via our registration form. For this, we require your personal data. 

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data 

Where we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. Where processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that processing personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. 

3. Data deletion and storage period 

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract. Rights of the data subject: If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights against the controller: 

1. Right to information 
You can request confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the data controller:

• the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
• the categories of personal data that are processed;
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data have been or will be disclosed;
• the planned duration of the storage of your personal data or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
• the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
• the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
• all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. 

You have the right to request information as to whether your personal data is being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.

2. Right to rectification 

You have the right to rectification and/or completion from the data controller if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The data controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay. 

3. Right to restriction of processing 

Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:

• if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
• the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
• if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds. 

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. If processing has been restricted under the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted. 

4. Right to erasure 

a) Obligation to delete 
You can request that the controller erase your personal data without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

1.  The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. 
2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing. 
3. You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR. 
4. Your personal data has been processed unlawfully. 
5. The erasure of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. 
6. Your personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered, in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

b) Information to third parties: If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data. 

c) Exceptions The right to erasure does not apply insofar as processing is necessary 

1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information. 
2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; 
3. for reasons of public interest in the area of ​​public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR; 
4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in point (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or 
5. for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

 

5. Right to information 

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obligated to communicate this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients. 

6. Right to data portability 

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that 

1. 1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and 

2. the processing is carried out using automated means. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The rights and freedoms of other persons must not be adversely affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. 

 

7. Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such purposes. You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications. 

8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. 

9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

2. is permitted under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or

3. with your explicit consent. However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (b) GDPR applies and appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been taken. With regard to the cases mentioned in points 1 and 3, the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
