Privacy Policy
We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of neoda Solutions as the operator of skyando. The use of neoda Solutions' internet pages is
generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services provided by our company via our website, processing of personal data may
become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to neoda
Solutions. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights via this privacy policy.
As the controller, neoda Solutions has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit
personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
Definitions
The privacy policy of neoda Solutions is based on the terms used by the European legislator when enacting 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.
Among other terms, we use the following in this privacy policy:
a) Personal Data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “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
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, 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 means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or Responsible for Processing
Controller or responsible for processing means 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 designation
may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the 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 means 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 authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent

Cookies
*Open Cookie Settings*
The internet pages of neoda Solutions use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous internet pages 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 by which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the
specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited internet pages 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 recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, neoda Solutions 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 optimised in the interest of the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognise 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 re-enter their access data every 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 the 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,
cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. 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 under certain circumstances.
Collection of Data and Information
The skyando website collects a series of data and information with every call of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This data and information are stored in the log files of the server. The data that can be collected includes (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reached our website (so-called
referrers), (4) the sub-pages accessed on our website by an accessing system, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the
Internet service provider of the accessing system, (8) search queries, and (9) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
This data is collected only for the purpose of statistical evaluation or to enable forwarding of users to further websites in accordance with our terms and conditions, or to verify bookings within our partner network. No sale to third parties for commercial purposes takes place.
When using this general data and information, neoda Solutions does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by neoda Solutions both statistically and furthermore 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.
Personal data is only collected or processed if you voluntarily provide this information, e.g. as part of an inquiry. Unless there are compelling reasons related to a business transaction, you can revoke the previously granted permission to store your personal data in writing (e.g. by email or fax) at any time with immediate effect. Your data will not be passed on to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by legal
regulations.
SSL Encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use of Affiliate Tracking
Affiliate marketing is an internet-based sales model that allows commercial operators of websites, so-called merchants or advertisers, to display advertisements, which are usually compensated via click or sale commissions, on
third-party websites, i.e. with sales partners, also known as affiliates or publishers. The merchant provides an advertising medium, i.e. an advertising banner or other suitable means of
internet advertising, via the affiliate network, which is then integrated by an affiliate on their own websites or promoted via other channels, such as keyword advertising or email marketing.
skyando places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. The skyando tracking cookie does not store any personal data. Only the identification number of the affiliate, i.e. the partner mediating the potential customer, is stored. The purpose of storing this identification number is to process commission payments between skyando and the affiliate.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by skyando, as already explained above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently
object to the setting of cookies. In addition, cookies already set by skyando can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the Facebook company into this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in 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 allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller for the processing of personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, 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 accessed, the internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all
Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins. As part of this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognises, with every access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website,
which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the data subject's respective Facebook account. If the data subject
activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject's personal
Facebook user account 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 simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish for such a transmission of this information to Facebook, 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://en-gb.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains what settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that allow the transmission of data to Facebook to be suppressed. Such
applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use of Google AdSense
The controller has integrated Google AdSense into this website. Google AdSense is an online service through which advertisements are mediated to third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an
algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows for interest-based targeting of the internet user, which is implemented by generating
individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been
explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyse 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 AdSense component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to
transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and commission billing. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the
data subject, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission billing.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already explained 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 Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows for statistical evaluation
to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can determine whether and when an internet page was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked by the data subject. Tracking pixels
are used, among other things, to evaluate the visitor flow of a website.
Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed advertisements, are transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America.
This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
Google AdSense is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation
of data about the behaviour of visitors to internet pages. A web analysis service collects data, among other things, about which internet page a data subject came from to an internet page (so-called referrers), which
sub-pages of the internet page were accessed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is predominantly used to optimise a website and for 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" add-on for web analysis via Google Analytics. With this add-on, the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is truncated and
anonymised by Google when access to our websites originates from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us that show activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse 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 accessed, the internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject 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 track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission billing.
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, is stored. With each visit
to our websites, 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 on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as shown 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 information technology system of the data subject. 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 and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells 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 information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable 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.
We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ 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/.
Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Remarketing
The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows a company to display advertisements to internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the internet user.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google enables the recognition of the visitor to our website when he or she subsequently visits websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as shown 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 information technology system of the data subject. 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 interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used and make the desired settings there.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Privacy Policy for the Use of Google+
The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is called up and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a display of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. During this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time our website is called up by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.
If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. A Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website is subsequently stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in it, in other Google services, for example the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored at Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimising Google's various services.
Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not.
If the data subject does not want personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our website.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further information from Google about the Google+1 button can be found at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
Privacy Policy for the Use of Google AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define keywords that will be used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a data subject who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as shown 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 conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used and make the desired settings there.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Privacy Policy for the Use of LinkedIn
The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For privacy matters outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
Each time our website equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) is accessed, this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the component from LinkedIn. Further information on the LinkedIn plug-ins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical procedure, LinkedIn receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time our website is called up by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her LinkedIn account before accessing our website.
LinkedIn offers the possibility to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages and targeted ads as well as to manage ad settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. LinkedIn's applicable privacy policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn's cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
Privacy Policy for the Use of Twitter
The controller has integrated Twitter components on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and spread so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 140 characters. These short messages are available to everyone, including people not logged in to Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Furthermore, Twitter enables a broad audience to be addressed via hashtags, links or retweets.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is called up and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a display of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on the Twitter buttons can be found at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. As part of this technical procedure, Twitter receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to redistribute the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world and to increase our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is logged in to Twitter at the same time, Twitter recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time our website is called up by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter.
Twitter always receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Twitter at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Twitter component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Twitter, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Twitter account before accessing our website.
Twitter's applicable privacy policy is available at https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=de.
Privacy Policy for the Use of Xing
The controller has integrated Xing components on this website. Xing is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts. Individual users can create a personal profile of themselves on Xing. Companies can, for example, create company profiles or publish job offers on Xing.
The operating company of Xing is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is called up and on which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Xing component to download a display of the corresponding Xing component from Xing. Further information on the Xing plug-ins can be found at https://dev.xing.com/plugins. As part of this technical procedure, Xing receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Xing at the same time, Xing recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time our website is called up by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Xing component and assigned by Xing to the respective Xing account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Xing buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Share" button, Xing assigns this information to the personal Xing user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Xing always receives information via the Xing component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Xing at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Xing component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Xing, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Xing account before accessing our website.
The privacy policy published by Xing, which can be found at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Xing. Furthermore, Xing has published privacy notices for the XING Share button at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.
Privacy Policy for the Use of YouTube
The controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, music videos, trailers or videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is called up and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting when a sub-page containing a YouTube video is called up. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her YouTube account before accessing our website.
The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Privacy Policy for the Use of DoubleClick
The controller has integrated DoubleClick by Google components on this website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google, under which mainly special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
The operating company of DoubleClick by Google is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the data subject's browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. The purpose of the cookie is the optimisation and display of advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to place and display user-relevant advertising and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. The cookie also serves to avoid multiple displays of the same advertisement.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is required to carry out the technical procedure. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplications. Furthermore, it is possible for DoubleClick to record conversions via the cookie ID. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a DoubleClick advertisement has previously been displayed to a user and the user subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same internet browser.
A DoubleClick cookie contains no personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier serves to identify the campaigns with which the user has already been in contact.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is called up and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data for the purpose of online advertising and commission settlement to Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements. Google can track, among other things, that the data subject has clicked on certain links on our website.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as shown 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 information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.
Further information and DoubleClick by Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/.

Forwarding to External Websites
To book offers on skyando, it is necessary for users to be forwarded to the respective provider's website. We do not pass on users' IP addresses in this process, but the providers automatically receive the users' IP addresses when the page is accessed. Furthermore, we transmit the data of the respective flight or hotel selected by the user (date of travel start, date of travel end, departure airport, destination airport, flight number, hotel, number of guests/passengers).
Registration on our Website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller results from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for his own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, such as a parcel service, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about which personal data are stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. The data protection officer named in this privacy policy and the entire staff of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Subscription to our Newsletter
On the skyando website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
neoda Solutions informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address first entered by a data subject for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's email address at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. There is no transfer of personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter mailing can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller of this in another way.
Newsletter Tracking
The newsletters of neoda Solutions contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, neoda Solutions can see whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were called up by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. neoda Solutions automatically interprets unsubscribing from receiving the newsletter as a revocation.
MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organised and analysed. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address), this is stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA.
MailChimp is certified according to the "EU-US Privacy Shield". The "Privacy Shield" is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.
With the help of MailChimp, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want MailChimp to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you have provided us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from MailChimp's servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members' area) remain unaffected by this.
For more details, please refer to MailChimp's privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
Contact via the Website
The skyando website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for 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 is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
Comments Function in the Blog on the Website
neoda Solutions offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the controller's website. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, details of the time of comment entry and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject are stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties by posting a comment or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest so that the controller could exculpate itself if necessary in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data is not passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the legal defence of the controller.
Subscription to Comments in the Blog on the Website
The comments made in the blog of neoda Solutions can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commentator to subscribe to the comments following his comment on a specific blog post.
If a data subject opts for the option to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automatic confirmation email to verify in a double opt-in procedure whether the owner of the specified email address has indeed opted for this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.
Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators 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 is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Rights of the Data Subject

Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.
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 obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and as long as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

The Data Protection Officer of neoda Solutions or another employee shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The Data Protection Officer of neoda Solutions or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
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.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by neoda Solutions, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of neoda Solutions or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as 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 his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the Data Protection Officer designated by neoda Solutions or another employee.
g) Right to object
Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
neoda Solutions shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If neoda Solutions processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to neoda Solutions to the processing for direct marketing purposes, neoda Solutions will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by neoda Solutions for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 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 directly contact the Data Protection Officer of neoda Solutions or another employee. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each 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 him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised 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 data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, neoda Solutions 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 his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.
Data Protection in Applications and the Application Procedure
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Legal Basis of Processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis 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, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and his name, age, health insurance details 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(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.
Period for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored
The criterion for the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Statutory or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of the Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the 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 the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
