We want you to know when we store which data and how we use it. As a company under private law, we are subject to the provisions of the European Data Protection Ordinance (DSGVO), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by external service providers.

Cookies

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Cookies are text information files that your web browser stores on your computer when you open one of our websites. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. The data recorded includes

• Language settings

• Log-in information

• Entered search terms

• Frequency of page views

• Use of website functions.

If you wish to prevent the use of cookies, you can refuse the acceptance of cookies in your browser. Please refer to your browser manufacturer's instructions to find out how this works in detail.

Communication via contact form, e-mail or newsletter

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us, for example when you contact us. The personal data transmitted to us in this way will of course only be used for the purpose for which you made them available to us when contacting us. This information is expressly provided on a voluntary basis and with your consent, legal basis Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If this involves information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may contact you via this communication channel in order to respond to your request. You can of course revoke your declarations of consent at any time in the future.

Server logs (log files)

When you use our website, our servers automatically record data for backup purposes that may allow identification. These server log files contain the IP address, browser type, browser language, date and time of your request and pages viewed. No personal utilization takes place. We store IP addresses for a maximum period of seven days. This data is stored for data security reasons in order to guarantee the stability and operational safety of our system. These server log files do not leave the GRS website structure. A statistic generation of the GRS web server is carried out in hourly intervals. The log files of the web server serve as a source here, but are only used in anonymous form after the one-time processing (e.g. the calls by Google links are only recorded as a continuous number in the statistics, but not a list of IP addresses). The local statistics are therefore anonymised.

c.) Rights of the data subject

If personal data are processed by you, you are affected within the meaning of the DSGVO or the BDSG and you have various rights (in particular Art. 15 DSGVO right to information, right to correction Art. 16 DSGVO, right to cancellation Art. 17 DSGVO, right to limitation of processing Art. 18 DSGVO, right of objection Art. 21 DSGVO) vis-à-vis the person responsible.

Please note: If, for the purposes for which a data controller processes personal data, the identification of the data subject by the data controller is not or no longer necessary, the data controller is not obliged under Article 11 of the DSBER to store, collect or process additional information in order to identify the data subject in order to comply solely with this Regulation. If the data controller can prove that he is not able to identify the data subject, he shall, if possible, inform the data subject. In such cases, Articles 15 to 20 shall not apply unless the data subject provides additional information to enable them to be identified in order to exercise their rights under those Articles.

Right to revoke a data protection declaration of consent
You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or suspect of infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the DSGVO. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 DSGVO.
