1) Preamble
Welcome to our website! We place greatest value on protecting your data and safeguarding your privacy. In the following, we would like to outline which data we process when and to what purpose and on what legal basis. In this presentation we will explain how our offered services operate and how we guarantee the protection of your personal data.
According to Article 4, No. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), personal data entails all information referring to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered as identifiable if he/she can be directly or indirectly identified. Additional information on this subject is available, for example, in Article 4, No. 1 of the GDPR.
This Data Protection Declaration can be accessed at any time at https://www.einkaufserlebnis-trier.de/en/data-protection-declaration, saved, and printed.
Insofar as we cite our legitimate interest or a legitimate interest of a third party (point (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR), you are entitled to exercise your right to object according to Article 21 of the GDPR:
According to Article 21 of the GDPR, you have the right
to object at any time to the processing of your personal data. We then no longer process your personal data for direct marketing purposes or for profiling connected to such marketing.
Following an objection, we also no longer process your personal data for other purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (see, for example, Article 21(1) of the GDPR, „limited right to object“). In this case you must show grounds for the objection which result from your special situation.
You can also object to the processing of your personal data on grounds of your special situation which are used for scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes according to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest (see Article 21(6) of the GDPR).
We will again separately point to the right to object in the individual paragraphs (for example, with the notice: „You have the right to object“”) insofar as this right exists. You will also find additional information there for exercising your right to object.
To retain clarity in the following Data Protection Declaration, in different places we will indicate through links to information and data protection pointers which can be found on external websites (see also paragraph „Social Networks & External Links“ in this Data Protection Declaration). We endeavor to keep the links we list in this Data Protection Declaration up to date. Nevertheless, because of the constant updating of websites, it cannot be ruled out that links do not function correctly. If you become aware of such a broken link, we would be pleased if you would inform us, so that we can update the link.
