Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, the transmission of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

You have the right, within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time for this or for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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 European Union or a Member State.

Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary since certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

9. Audio and Video Conferences

We use online conferencing tools, among others, to communicate with our customers. The specific tools we use are listed below. When you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conferencing tool.

The conferencing tools collect all data that you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or phone number). In addition, the conferencing tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end times of participation, number of participants, and other "contextual information" related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for handling the online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speakers, and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool provider. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during the use of the service.

Please note that we have no complete control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conferencing tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools listed below.

Purpose and Legal Bases

The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer specific services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The use of these tools also serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent was requested, the use of the respective tools is based on this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Storage Duration

The data collected directly by us via video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no control over the storage duration of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please consult the privacy policies of the conference tool operators directly.

10. Our Own Services

Our Social Media Presences

This privacy policy applies to the following social media presences:

• https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-senninger/
• https://www.youtube.com/@WeisenDePersonalentwicklung

Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks such as LinkedIn or Twitter can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. Specifically:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection is done, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the collected data, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, this advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all processing activities on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal Basis

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases to be specified by the social network operators (e.g., consent as per Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Controller and Assertion of Rights
If you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., LinkedIn), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered by your visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) in principle both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal.

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage Duration

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - especially retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no control over the storage duration of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please consult the privacy policies of the social network operators (see below).

Your Rights

You have the right to obtain free information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You also have a right to object, a right to data portability, and a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your data and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of processing of your personal data.
