  • Cookies

In some areas of our website we use cookies in order to, for example, recognise visitor preferences and be able to optimally design the website accordingly. This enables easier navigation and use. Cookies likewise help us to identify particularly popular areas of our Internet platform. Cookies are small text files installed onto the hard drive of your terminal device. They allow information to be kept over a certain period and your terminal device to be identified. For better user guidance and individualised displaying of services, we use permanent cookies. Furthermore, we use so-called session cookies, which will be automatically deleted when you close your browser. You can set your browser to inform you of the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. Important: If you fully exclude the use of cookies, you may possibly be unable to use individual features of our website.

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

  • temporary cookies
  • permanent cookies

Temporary cookies: “Temporary cookies” or “session cookies” or “transient cookies” are cookies that are deleted after the user has left an online platform and closed his browser. For example, the content of a shopping basket in an online shop, or the user’s log-in status, may be stored in such cookie.

Permanent cookies: “Permanent cookies” or “persistent cookies” are cookies that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. For example, the log-in status may be saved in case of a user visit after several days. Likewise, the users’ interests used for the purpose of range measurement or marketing may be stored in such cookie. “Third-party cookies” are cookies offered by providers other than the controller operating the online platform (cookies only from this controller are referred to as “first-party cookies”).

Users who do not wish to have cookies stored on their computer are requested to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser’s system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. The exclusion of cookies may lead to reduced functionality of this online platform.

You may at any time opt out of this form of advertising. To do so, follow the opt-out link provided in the following overview: In the case of many of the services, particularly tracking, a general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes may be declared via the US-American website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please bear in mind that some features of this online platform may then possibly be unusable.

6. Does automated processing take place for profiling purposes?
We shall use your personal data neither for automated decision-making nor for profiling.

7. Who will have access to your data and for what reason?
Within Respeggt, only persons who need your data for performing the tasks assigned to them will receive access to your data. Outside of Respeggt, service providers that assist us with the performance of our tasks may receive access to your data. These encompass the following categories of service providers:

  • hosting service providers for the operation of our servers
  • development service providers for the programming, development, servicing and support of software applications
  • agencies for carrying out prize draws
  • market research companies for carrying out market research studies
  • service providers for the provision of survey tools
  • advertising network operators for advertising campaigns and the display of online advertising (remarketing and retargeting)
  • service providers for delivering online advertising and measuring the success thereof.

Service providers used by us must meet particular confidentiality requirements. They will receive access to your data only to the extent, and for the period, necessary for the performance of their tasks.

If a criminal offence is suspected, we may pass on your data to law enforcement authorities (police, public prosecution department).

8. Are data processed outside of the European Union?
For processing your data, we shall also use service providers located in third countries outside of the European Union. Countries outside of the European Union handle the protection of personal data differently to countries within the European Union. There is currently no resolution of the EU Commission according to which these third countries generally offer an appropriate level of protection. Therefore, we have taken particular measures to ensure that your data are processed in the third parties just as securely as within the European Union. We conclude with service providers in third countries the data protection agreement (standard data protection clauses) provided by the European Union Commission for the processing of personal data in third parties. This agreement provides for suitable safeguards to protect your data with service providers in third countries. You can request a copy of this data protection agreement using the contact details stated above.

9. For how long will the data be processed?
In principle, we shall store your data only for as long as we need your data for the respective processing purposes. If your data are no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the processing purposes stated in this Data Privacy Notice, these data will be erased, unless their further retention is necessary for the fulfilment of retention duties under commercial or fiscal law.

10. What rights do you have?

  • Access

You may request access to your personal data processed by us.

  • Rectification

If your details are incorrect or no longer correct, you may request that your data be rectified. If your data are incomplete, you may request that your data be completed.

  • Erasure

You have the right to request that your data be erased. Please note that any entitlement to erasure will depend upon the existence of a legitimate reason. A further prerequisite is that there must be no existing regulations under which we are obliged to retain your data.

  • Restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your data be restricted. Please note that any entitlement to restriction of the processing will depend upon the existence of a legitimate reason.

  • Objection

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your data. In the event of a legitimate objection, we shall cease processing your data.

You have the right to receive in an electronic format the personal data that you have provided to us.

  • Revocation of your consent

You have the right to at any time revoke consent that you have granted us regarding the processing of your data. This will also apply to the revocation of declarations of consent that you submitted to us before the General Data Protection Regulation entered into effect, i.e. before 25.05.2018.
