B. Data Protection Officer

You can reach the Data Protection Officer at datenschutz@hochtief.de or by mail at the above address, with the addition “Data Protection.”

C. Purposes and Legal Bases of Processing

In the course of our activities, we process personal data of different data subjects (e.g., website and app users, customers, contract partners) as far as is legally permissible. We inform you about the purposes and legal bases as well as further details of each processing in an orderly manner according to the different processing situations in the lower part of this privacy policy.

D. Recipients

Depending on the respective processing situation, your personal data is not only processed by the controller but also by third parties. Possible recipients include especially processors (e.g., web hosting, software providers, and other technical service providers) as well as third-party providers of online services and content. You can find details in the notes on the respective processing.

E. Third Country Transfer

We generally process your personal data only within the EU. You will be informed separately about possible third-country transfers during the respective processing operation.

If a transfer is based on an adequacy decision according to Art. 45 GDPR, you can find an overview of existing EU adequacy decisions under this link (https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/…
If a transfer is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses according to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR, you can find the related implementation decision, which contains the contractual clauses, under this link (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&locale=de).

F. Storage Duration

Personal data is stored as long as required by the purpose, we are legally obliged to retain it, or other legal reasons justify further processing. Personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of processing ceases to exist or another deletion ground according to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR arises (e.g., revocation of consent) and no exception to the deletion obligation according to Art. 17 para. 3 GDPR applies. Data in a user account is usually stored as long as the respective project lasts and the customer needs the corresponding access. When a user account is deleted, all immediately personal data is removed. The user account is technically retained in a locked form for 30 days after a deletion request until a final deletion occurs. Internal reference IDs (e.g., creator ID) may be retained in existing objects. These cannot be related to a person after the user account has been deleted.

G. Data Subject Rights

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • Right to restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

H. Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your special situation, against the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We will then no longer process your personal data, unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that outweigh your protection interests, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes and any associated profiling without giving reasons.

I. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority according to Art. 77 GDPR.

J. Withdrawal of Consent

You have the right, according to Art. 7 para. 3 sentence 1 GDPR, to withdraw a given consent for data processing under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR at any time with effect for the future informally (e.g., by email, phone). The lawfulness of processing until the withdrawal is not affected by this.

K. Obligation to Provide

You are not obligated to provide your personal data.

If the legal basis of the respective processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, your personal data is necessary for contract fulfillment or concluding a contract. Without providing your personal data, contract conclusion and its fulfillment in such cases are not possible.

If personal data is not made available in cases where processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (balancing of interests) is concerned, the use of respective services and offers is not possible.
