The protection of your personal data is important to us. With this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you in more detail what personal data we collect and for what purposes this data is processed.

  1. Controller and contact

    The controller for purposes of processing your personal data is:

    Business solution d.o.o.

    You can reach our Data Protection Officer at: dataprotectionofficer@tourist.hr.

  2. Subject of data protection

    The subject of data protection is personal data, i.e. all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Personal data is also referred to simply as data in the following.

  3. Automated data collection

    When accessing our website, your end device automatically transmits data for technical reasons. The following data is stored separately from other data that you may transmit to us:

    • URL of the page accessed
    • Latency of the network connection
    • Date and time

    We store this data for the following purposes:

    • for load balancing, i.e. to distribute access to our website across several devices and to be able to offer you the fastest possible loading times;
    • to ensure the security of our IT systems, e.g. to defend against specific attacks on our systems and to recognise attack patterns;
    • to ensure the proper operation of our IT systems, e.g. if errors occur that we can only rectify by storing the IP address;
    • to enable criminal prosecution, averting of danger or legal prosecution in the event of specific indications of criminal offences.

    Your IP address is only stored for a period of 30 days.

    In this case, the processing is carried out to ensure the security of the processing in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, as well as on the basis of our legitimate interest in protecting ourselves against misuse of our service (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

  4. Tourist account
    1. Registration

      You have the option to create a Tourist.hr customer account, for example to manage bookings, save favourites or view past bookings. To do so, you need to provide the following mandatory information:

      • Surname/first name
      • E-mail address
      • Passwords

      Alternatively, you can log in with your Facebook, Google or Apple account. In this case, we receive the following personal data from Facebook or Google or Apple in order to create a user account for you:

      • Name
      • E-mail address
      • Photo (Facebook only)
      • an authentication token

      Your registration data is required to set up and manage a user account for you. In this case, you conclude a (free) user agreement with us, on the basis of which we collect this data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

      In order to conclude the agreement, you must provide us with this data. However, you are neither contractually nor legally obliged to conclude the agreement and thus to provide the data.

    2. Wish lists

      After you have created a customer account, you have the option to create wish lists with activities and tours and to share these wish lists with other users. Your data is processed for these purposes in order to be able to provide you with the corresponding functions (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

  5. Reviews and ratings

Our website offers the possibility to rate and comment on tours or activities. After you have completed a tour booked via our website, we may ask you to rate it accordingly. Submitting a rating is, of course, voluntary. When you submit a rating, we collect the data you enter in order to process it according to the function you use and publish it on our website. You can have a rating deleted at any time by contacting our customer service.

The processing of your data for these purposes is done to protect our legitimate interest in providing our users with as much information as possible about the tours we offer. User ratings are also in the interest of all users. Accordingly, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

  1. Customer support

    1. Processing of enquiries

      If you send us enquiries by e-mail, by telephone, via our contact form, by WhatsApp, via our social media channels or by any other means, we will process the information you provide in connection with this in order to process your enquiry (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Further storage of the data transmitted within the context of your enquiry is based on our legitimate interest in the proper documentation of our business operations and the safeguarding of our legal positions (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and, if applicable, for the fulfilment of legal obligations (Art. 6 para.1 lit. c GDPR).

      Your request will be processed by our processor, Business solution d.o.o.

      For the processing of enquiries, we or Business solution d.o.o. use systems provided by Freshworks Inc. based in the USA ("Freshworks"). Accordingly, your enquiries are stored on Freshworks's servers. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with Freshworks in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. In addition, the data is stored in Frankfurt, Germany.

      For the processing of telephone enquiries, we or Business solution d.o.o. use systems provided by Talkdesk Inc. based in the USA ("Talkdesk"). There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with Talkdesk in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. In addition, the data is stored in Ireland.

    2. Improvement of customer service

      In order to continuously improve our customer service, we analyse enquiries sent to us on the basis of certain parameters and keywords. Although, as a matter of principle, no analysis is carried out on the basis of personal data, it cannot be ruled out that, in individual cases, personal data may also be processed within this context. The processing required within this context serves our legitimate interest as well as that of our customers in the continuous improvement of our customer service (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

    3.  
    4. Storage and evaluation of telephone calls

      Telephone calls are only stored and analysed if you have given us your prior consent. We will only use this data for the purpose of improving our customer service. The recordings will be deleted after three months. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You have the option to revoke your consent at any time by contacting one of the contact channels mentioned in this privacy policy. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out by us until your revocation.

  2. Technical service providers

    We use technical service providers for hosting and some of the services required for the website. Accordingly, the processing of data takes place on the servers of these service providers. These service providers only process the data according to our explicit instructions and are obliged to guarantee sufficient technical and organisational measures for data protection. Consequently, our service providers act for us as so-called processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR.

    1. Hosting of the website

      For the hosting of our website, we use the services of Amazon Web Services EMEA S.a.r.l. ("AWS") based in Luxembourg. Accordingly, when you interact with our website or provide personal data, it is processed on AWS servers. We only use servers located in the European Union. To cover remote maintenance and similar constellations, we have concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with AWS in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

    2. E-mail system

      For sending emails, we use the Sendgrid service of Twilio Inc based in the USA ("Twilio"). There is no adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR with Twilio.

  3. Newsletter

    You have the option on our website to register for our newsletter. With our newsletter, we would like to send you information on offers, tours, activities or special promotions that is as personalised as possible. By registering for our newsletter, you therefore consent to us processing your email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing from our newsletter. To do this, you can use the unsubscribe link contained in every email or send us a message using the link https://tourist.hr/page/contact-us. To verify your e-mail address, you will first receive a registration e-mail, which you must confirm via a link (double opt-in). When you register for the newsletter, we store the IP address and the date and time of registration. The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given. The legal basis results from our legal obligation to prove your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR).

    If you have booked a tour via our website or created a Tourist.hr account, we will send you our newsletter based on our legitimate interest in promoting similar services to your bookings or account (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, § 7 para. 3 UWG), unless you have objected to this use. If cookies are used for personalisation, we will obtain your separate consent.

    You can object to this at any time – even during registration – by deselecting the corresponding checkbox or clicking the unsubscribe link in the respective e-mails.

  4. Bookings & payments
    1. Bookings

      When you book a tour, activity or similar on our site, we collect the data required to carry out the tour. This usually includes the following information: First and last name, billing address, email address, telephone number, number of participants, date and time. Depending on the activity booked, it may also be necessary for us to collect further information, such as your flight number or the age of the participants. The processing that takes place in connection with this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. To the extent necessary, we will transfer your data to the body responsible for the tour or activity. If a transfer to a third country outside the European Economic Area is necessary, this is based on Art. 49 para. 2 lit. b, c GDPR. If you make bookings via partner sites, we receive the data required to make the booking from the partner.

    2. Payments

      You have various options for paying for your booking. In doing so, we will process the data required in each case depending on the selected payment method. Within this context, your personal data will be processed as described below, which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is necessary to carry out the payment method you have chosen.

      1. Credit card payments

        For the processing of payments by credit card, we use the service provider Adyen N.V. ("Adyen"), which is based in the Netherlands. The data provided during your payment will be forwarded by Adyen to the respective banks or financial institutions for the purpose of processing the payment. In the case of payments by credit card, we only receive the information that a payment has or has not been made. We therefore have no knowledge of your credit card number.

      2. Payment via PayPal

        If you have a PayPal account, you can also process your payment via PayPal. In this case, we receive from PayPal not only the information that a payment has been made, but also the e-mail address and address you have registered with PayPal.

        Fraud prevention
  5. In order to protect ourselves and the activity providers from fraudulent bookings, we evaluate the information provided by our customers during the booking process, including the data technically transmitted by their device, insofar as this is necessary to protect our legitimate interest and that of the activity providers in reliable bookings (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

    For this purpose, we use services of the providers Sift Science, Inc. (USA), Adyen N.V. (Netherlands) and Ethoca Inc. (Canada). There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with Sift Science, Inc. pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. For Canada, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission in accordance with Art. 45 of the GDPR for processing by private-sector organisations.

  7. Cookies

    We use so-called "cookies" to offer certain functions of our website and to optimise the use of our website. "Cookies" are small files that are stored on your device with the help of your internet browser.

    Specifically, we use (unless other cookies are specified elsewhere in this privacy policy or our cookie consent) the following cookies:

    • Session cookies: These cookies are needed to store certain technical data during your visit to our website, e.g. to determine whether you have logged in.
    • Persistent cookies: These cookies are needed to store data beyond a browser session if you wish to do so.

    The legal basis for the use of these cookies is § 15 para. 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) or Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR, insofar as they are necessary for the use of our website and the functions you have accessed. Otherwise, we use cookies – as described below – on the basis of your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time, write us to email: dataprotectionofficer@tourist.hr


    1. Google services

      We use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy Mountain View, California 94043, USA ("Google") described below. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with Google in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

      Basic information on the processing of your personal data by Google can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

      You also have the following setting options with Google:

      1. Google Analytics 360

        If you have consented, we use Google Analytics 360, a web analytics service. Google Analytics 360 collects pseudonymous data from you about the use of our website, including your shortened IP address, and uses cookies. This data is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

        Your data will be stored by Google Analytics for a period of 14 months. After this period, the data is deleted and only aggregated statistics are kept.

        The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

        You can revoke your consent at any time and deactivate Google Analytics using a browser add-on. You can download this here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Alternatively, you can revoke your consent as described here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/user-opt-out. You can also revoke your consent via our Cookie Consent Manager. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation.

      2. Google Remarketing & Advertising Personalisation on the Google Network

        If you have consented, we use remarketing services from Google. Google uses cookies to record your usage behaviour on our website in order to display interest-based advertising for our products on other pages within the Google advertising network across devices. This includes Google search and other sites operated by Google and its subsidiaries, as well as sites operated by Google's advertising partners. The information is transmitted accordingly to Google and Google's partners. Additional data processing will only take place if you have consented to Google linking your browsing history to your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalise the ads you see on the web. In this case, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for remarketing. To do this, your personal data will be temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form target groups.

        The use of these services is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

        You can revoke your consent via our Cookie Consent Manager. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation. Furthermore, the remarketing cookie is automatically deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or used it in accordance with the above paragraphs.

      3. YouTube pixel

        If you have consented, we use the YouTube pixel. This is a tracking code that is loaded when our website and certain subpages are accessed and when certain actions are performed, and thus tracks your behaviour on our website. The pixel also collects usage data (such as URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and timestamp). We send this information to Google so that Google can display advertisements on YouTube according to your behaviour on our website.

        We use the YouTube pixel on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time via our Cookie Consent Manager. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation.

      4. Google Enhanced Conversions

        This technology is based neither on cookies nor on pixels. When you use our website and are redirected by a Google ad, we send a hashed identifier and information about possible purchases to Google. Google will use this information only to understand which ad you clicked, to measure the success of certain ads and to provide us with this information in aggregate form. In particular, Google will not use the data to serve targeted ads to you or to other users, or store or use the data for any other purpose. We transmit this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in controlling our marketing activities (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

    2. Facebook services

      We use the services of Facebook Ireland Limited ("Facebook") described below. Please note that this may also involve processing by Facebook Inc. based in the USA. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. In this case, Facebook will use the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission, which constitute a suitable guarantee within the meaning of Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR for the transfer to third countries.

      Basic information on the further processing and use of your data by Facebook as well as your setting options for protecting your privacy with Facebook can be found in Facebook's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

      1. Facebook pixel

        If you have consented, the Facebook pixel is used on our website. This is a Javascript code. The Facebook pixel records when you perform certain actions on our website or visit certain areas on our website. The Facebook pixel also collects usage data (such as URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics and timestamp). The Facebook pixel generates a checksum (hash value) from this information and transmits this hash value to Facebook. If available, the Facebook cookie is also addressed and your Facebook ID is transmitted. If you have a Facebook profile and log in there, you can be presented with targeted personalised advertising on Facebook based on the data transmitted by the pixel. Data from users who do not have a Facebook profile is discarded by Facebook without being used.

        We use the Facebook pixel on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time via our Cookie Consent Manager. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation.

      2. Facebook Server-to-Server

        This technology is based neither on cookies nor on pixels. When you use our website and are redirected by Facebook, we send your Facebook Click-ID and information about possible purchases and other actions on our website to Facebook. Facebook will use this information to understand which ad you clicked, to measure the success of certain ads and to provide us with this information in aggregate form. Facebook will not use the data to serve targeted ads to you or other users. We transmit this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in controlling our marketing activities (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

    3. Other remarketing services

      If you have consented, we also use the remarketing services described below on our website. In each case, your usage behaviour on our website is analysed using cookies. The providers will use this information to play personalised advertising on third-party sites.

      • Remarketing service of Criteo S.A. based in France ("Criteo"). Criteo will serve personalised advertising on sites connected to the Criteo network.
      • Remarketing services provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, based in Ireland ("Microsoft"). Microsoft will use the cookie information to serve personalised advertisements through the Bing search engine and to display advertisements to you on third-party sites.
      • Remarketing service provided by Outbrain Inc based in the USA ("Outbrain"). Outbrain will use the cookie information to show you personalised advertising on third-party sites.
      • Remarketing service provided by Snap Group Limited based in the UK ("Snapchat"). Snapchat will use the cookie information to show you personalised advertising.

        We use these services on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time via our Cookie Consent Manager. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation.

  8. Integrated third-party content

    We have also integrated third-party content on our website. This content is loaded from the servers of the respective providers, so that your end device transmits certain technically necessary data to the third-party provider. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these providers may take note of the IP address assigned to you. Insofar as personal data is processed, this is done on the basis of the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers. The integration by us is based on our legitimate interests in being able to provide our users with the corresponding content and functionalities and to be able to operate our website economically, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In detail, we integrate the following third-party content:

    • Contentstack: We have integrated content from the content delivery network Contentstack of Contentstack LLC, which is based in the USA. Please note that there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with Contentstack LLC in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. For more information on data protection at Contentstack LLC, please visit: https://www.contentstack.com/privacy.
  9. Social media

    If you interact with us via our social media sites or our posts, we will collect and process the information you provide in connection with this, including your user name and any profile photo, if applicable, for example if you mark a post with "Like", share or "retweet", comment or provide other content. The data processing in this regard is regularly carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the corresponding functions on our social media pages (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and, if applicable, on the basis of your consent vis-à-vis the operator of the respective network (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or your contractual relationship with the operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Please also note that this content is published on our relevant social media sites according to your account settings and can be accessed by anyone worldwide.

    Further data processing by us may take place in order to be able to accept and process enquiries or messages via our social media sites (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

    In addition, the respective operators collect and process personal data from you in their own data protection responsibility when you visit our social media sites and/or interact with them or our posts. This applies in particular if you are registered or logged in to the relevant network. Even if you are not logged in to a network, the operators collect certain personal data when you access the page, such as unique identifiers that are linked to your browser or device. Please note that this data may be aggregated across different platforms and services if they are operated by the same operator. For example, both Facebook and Instagram are operated by Facebook Ireland Limited.

    If you apply directly to us or, if applicable, via a headhunter, we process your application documents and the information contained therein for the purpose of processing your application or deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship. We process further data within the context of any job interviews. The data processing is carried out on the legal basis of § 26 para. 1, 3 BDSG.

    If we are unfortunately unable to offer you a position, your application documents will generally be retained for as long as necessary after the conclusion of the respective application process in order to be able to answer queries in connection with your application. Further storage may take place if this is necessary for the provision of evidence, in particular for the defence, assertion or enforcement of claims (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

    Otherwise, we will only store your applicant data if you have expressly consented to this (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). We will then also regularly inform you about interesting positions with us. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, you can, for example, contact us using the contact details above. A revocation does not affect the processing that took place until your revocation.

    For our application management, we use a service provided by Greenhouse Software, Inc, based in the USA. Please note that there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with Greenhouse Software, Inc. pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

    1. Booking your journey

      To book any travel to the job interview, we use the services of Pana Industries, Inc, based in the USA. Please note that there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. We have therefore concluded the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission with Pana Industries, Inc. pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

    2. Approaching via professional social networks

      We also reserve the right to contact you via professional social networks with regard to vacancies with us if you have indicated via your profile settings that you are open to being contacted in this regard. Within this context, we also process your data deposited with this network. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in approaching suitable candidates (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

  14. Passing on of data

    Beyond the cases described, your personal data will only be passed on without your express prior consent in the following cases:

    • If it is necessary for the clarification of an illegal use of our services or for legal prosecution, personal data will be forwarded to the law enforcement authorities and, if necessary, to injured third parties. However, this only happens if there are specific indications of unlawful or abusive behaviour. A transfer may also take place if this serves to enforce terms of use or other agreements. We are also legally obliged to provide information to certain public authorities upon request. These are law enforcement agencies, authorities that prosecute administrative offences subject to fines and the tax authorities.

      This data is disclosed on the basis of our legitimate interest in combating abuse, prosecuting criminal offences and securing, asserting and enforcing claims and provided that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data are not overridden, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or on the basis of a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

    • We disclose personal data to auditors, accounting service providers, lawyers, banks, tax consultants and similar bodies insofar as this is necessary for the provision of our services (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or the proper operation of our business (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or we are obliged to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
    • We rely on contractually affiliated third-party companies and external service providers ("processors") to provide the services. In such cases, personal data is passed on to these processors to enable them to continue processing. These processors are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by us to ensure that your rights and freedoms are protected. The processors may only use the data for the purposes specified by us and are also contractually obliged by us to treat your data exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy and the Croatian data protection laws.

      The transfer of data to processors takes place on the basis of Art. 28 para. 1 GDPR.

    • As part of the further development of our business, it may happen that the structure of Business solution ltd changes by changing the legal form, founding, buying or selling subsidiaries, parts of the company or components. In such transactions, customer information is passed on together with the part of the company to be transferred. Whenever personal information is disclosed to third parties to the extent described above, we will ensure that this is done in accordance with this privacy policy and the relevant data protection laws.

      Any disclosure of personal data is justified by the fact that we have a legitimate interest in adapting our corporate form to the economic and legal circumstances as necessary (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

  15. Automated individual decisions or profiling measures

    We do not use any automated processing processes to bring about a decision or profiling.

  16. Erasure of your data

    We delete or anonymise your personal data as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or used it in accordance with the above paragraphs. We also continue to retain your data if we are obliged to do so for legal reasons or if the data is needed for a longer period of time for criminal prosecution or to secure, assert or enforce legal claims.

    If you delete your user account, your profile will be deleted completely and permanently. However, we will retain backup copies of your data to the extent and for as long as this data is required for legal reasons or for criminal prosecution or to secure, assert or enforce legal claims.

    If data must be retained for legal reasons, processing will be restricted. The data is then no longer available for further use.

    Storage beyond the contractual relationship is based on our aforementioned legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

  17. Your rights as a data subject

    You have the rights described below with regard to the processing of your personal data. To exercise your rights, you can make a request here, by post or by email to the address above.

    1. Right of access to information

      You have the right to receive information from us at any time, upon request, about the personal data we process that concerns you, to the extent and subject to the conditions of Art. 15 GDPR.

    2. Right to correct incorrect data

      You have the right to request that we correct personal data relating to you without delay if it is inaccurate.

    3. Right to erasure

      You have the right to demand that we delete the personal data concerning you under the conditions described in Art. 17 GDPR. These conditions provide in particular for a right to erasure if the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, as well as in cases of unlawful processing, the existence of an objection or the existence of an obligation to erasure under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject.

    4. Right to restriction of processing

      You have the right to demand that we restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. This right exists in particular if the accuracy of the personal data is disputed between the user and us, for the duration that the verification of the accuracy requires, as well as in the event that the data subject requests restricted processing instead of erasure in the case of an existing right to erasure; furthermore, in the event that the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued by us, but the user requires it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, as well as if the successful exercise of an objection is still disputed between us and the user.

    5. Right to data portability

      You have the right to receive from us the personal data relating to you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR.

    6. Right to object

      You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out, inter alia, on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. We will then stop processing your 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.

    7. Right of appeal

      You have the right to contact a supervisory authority of your choice in case of complaints.

    8. Data processing when exercising your rights

      Finally, we would like to point out that we process the personal data provided by you when exercising your rights pursuant to Art. 15 to 22 of the GDPR for the purpose of implementing these rights and to be able to provide evidence thereof. This processing is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR.
