In addition, you can upload a profile picture, provide information about your skills or profession, or share further biographical information in a free text field if you wish. This voluntary information is used solely for the purpose of communication with other users. 5. Newsletter On our website, we offer you the option of subscribing to our newsletter free of charge. In addition to your declaration of consent, we require your email address for this purpose. Further information, such as your name, is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We will only send you the newsletter once you have confirmed your subscription by clicking on the link provided for this purpose in the confirmation email sent to you for this purpose. This is to ensure that only you can personally subscribe to the newsletter. Your confirmation must be provided promptly after receiving the confirmation email, otherwise your newsletter subscription will be automatically deleted from our database. The legal basis for sending the newsletter and the associated processing of voluntary additional information is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. By submitting your newsletter registration, you consent to the processing of your data by us. In addition, when you register for the newsletter, we store the time (date and time) of the transmission of your data to us and your IP address. The processing of this data is in accordance with our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in order to ensure the security of our systems and to prevent misuse. In the confirmation email sent for verification purposes, we also store the date and time of the interaction with the confirmation link and your IP address. Your data will only be processed in connection with the sending of newsletters. The purpose of processing your email address is to enable us to send you the newsletter. Other data collected during the registration process is used either to address you personally or to ensure the security of our services and prevent misuse of the email address used. Your data will only be stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose. Your email address will therefore be stored for the duration of your active newsletter subscription, provided you have given your consent.

Your Data Subject Rights When we process your data, you are a “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR. You have the following rights: right to information, right to rectification, right to restriction of processing, right to erasure, right to notification, and right to data portability. In addition, you have a right to object, a right of withdrawal, and the right to complain to the supervisory authority. Below you will find some details about each of these rights:  1. Right to information You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing your personal data. If we process your personal data, you have the right to obtain information about the purposes of processing, categories of personal data, recipients or categories of recipients, and, if applicable, the storage period.   2. Right to rectification You have the right to have the personal data we have stored about you corrected and/or completed if this personal data is incorrect or incomplete. We will make the correction or completion immediately.  3. Right to restriction of processing Under certain conditions, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data. An example of this is if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data and we need to verify its accuracy for a certain period of time. For the duration of the verification, your personal data will only be processed to a limited extent. Another example of restriction is if we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for a legal dispute.  4. Right to erasure In certain situations, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data immediately. This is the case, for example, if we no longer need your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it or if we have processed your data unlawfully. Another example would be if we process your data on the basis of your consent, you withdraw your consent, and we do not process the personal data on any other legal basis. However, your right to erasure does not always apply. For example, we may process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation or because we need it for a legal dispute.   5. Right to notification If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom we have disclosed your personal data of the rectification, erasure, or restriction of the processing of your personal data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.  6.Right to data portability Under certain conditions, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and the right to have this personal data transferred to another controller. This is the case if we process the personal data either on the basis of your consent or on the basis of a contract with you and if we process the personal data using automated procedures. You have the right to have us transfer your personal data directly to another controller, where technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of other persons are not affected.  7.Right to object You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. After you object, we will no longer process 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. If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing. If you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process it for these purposes.  8. Right of withdrawal Pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not retroactively invalidate the lawfulness of the processing.  9. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. In particular, you may exercise your right to lodge a complaint in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

Cookies are text files that are sent from our web server to your browser when you visit our website and are stored on your computer for later retrieval. Cookies are then sent to our website’s server with every server request or page view. A cookie allows your internet browser to be identified when you visit the website again. Some of the functions we have integrated into our website also use web storage objects. These work similarly to cookies but are stored temporarily in your browser and are not transferred to the server. There are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which are stored on your hard drive until their preset expiration date is reached or until you actively remove them. Web storage objects are divided into local storage objects, which never expire, and session storage objects, which are deleted when you close your browser. Cookies are divided into first-party cookies (only visible from the domain you are currently visiting) and third-party cookies (visible across domains and regularly set by third parties). Cookies and web storage objects are divided into the following categories: Technically necessary: These cookies are essential for navigating the website, using basic functions, and ensuring the security of the website; they do not collect information about you for marketing purposes or store which websites you have visited.

Optional: These cookies are used, for example, for analysis and marketing purposes and to display external content such as videos. Analysis cookies and web storage objects collect information about how you use a website, which pages you visit, and, for example, whether errors occur during website use. Marketing cookies and web storage objects are used to display advertising tailored to your needs on the website or offers from third parties and to measure the effectiveness of these offers. These are technologies that are not technically necessary. The legal basis for setting these cookies and web storage objects is therefore your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Please note the following: You can ensure that no cookies or similar technologies are stored on your computer at all, or that only certain cookies are allowed to be stored. You can select this in your internet browser settings. You can also view and delete the stored cookies there. If you block all cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website. 9. Right of withdrawal and deletion As stated at the beginning of this section, you can enable or restrict the transfer of cookies and similar technologies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies and web storage objects that have already been stored by your Internet browser can be deleted there at any time.
