Privacy Policy

Thank you very much for your interest in our company. Data privacy is a particularly high priority for the management of Haus E / alltag & anders. Use of the Haus E / alltag & anders website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Haus E / alltag & anders. Through this privacy declaration, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy serves to inform data subjects of their rights.

As the controller responsible for the processing, Haus E / alltag & anders has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can inherently have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to submit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions of terms

The privacy policy of Haus E / alltag & anders is based on the terms used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy aims to be easy to read and understand for both the general public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the terminology used.

In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:

  • a) Personal data

    Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  • b) Data subject

    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

  • c) Processing

    Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  • d) Restriction of processing

    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

  • e) Profiling

    Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

  • f) Pseudonymisation

    Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

    The controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

    Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  • h) Processor

    Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i) Recipient

    Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not.

    However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

  • j) Third party

    A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

  • k) Consent

    Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

2. Name and address of the controller

3. Cookies

The Haus E / alltag & anders website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can assign the cookie to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to differentiate the browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Haus E / alltag & anders can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Cookies can be used to optimise the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As previously mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the corresponding settings in their internet browser and, in doing so, can permanently object to the setting of cookies. Cookies that have already been set can also be deleted at any time in the internet browser or other software programmes. This can be done in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in their internet browser, some features of our website may not work properly.

4. Collection of general data and information

Each time a user or an automated system accesses the Haus E / alltag & anders website, a range of general data and information is collected. This general data and information is stored in the server log files and may include: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (known as the referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed by an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol (IP) address, (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to protect our IT systems in the event of an attack.

When processing this general data and information, Haus E / alltag & anders does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is primarily needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is statistically analysed by Haus E / alltag & anders, with the aim of improving data protection and data security in our company, ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by the data subject.

5. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as stipulated by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a retention period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

6. Rights of the data subject

  • a) Right to confirmation

    Every data subject has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed.

  • b) Right of access

    Every data subject has the right, granted by European law, to obtain information from the controller, at any time and free of charge, about the personal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this information. European law also grants the data subject access to the following information:

    • the purposes of the processing
    • the categories of personal data being processed
    • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
    • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
    • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing
    • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

    • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

    The data subject also has a right to be informed if personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • c) Right to rectification

    Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

    Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

    • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
    • The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing is based in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR, or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal basis for the processing.
    • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR.
    • The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
    • The personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
    • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8 (1) GDPR.

    If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Haus E / alltag & anders, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. An employee of Haus E / alltag & anders will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

    If the personal data have been made public by Haus E / alltag & anders and our company, as the controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17 (1) GDPR, Haus E / alltag & anders will, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the publicly available personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, to the extent that processing is not required. An employee of Haus E / alltag & anders will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.

  • e) Right to restriction of processing

    Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

    • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
    • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
    • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
    • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

    If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Haus E / alltag & anders, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Haus E / alltag & anders will arrange for the restriction of the processing.

  • f) Right to data portability

    Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Haus E / alltag & anders at any time.

  • g) Right to object

    Every data subject has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1) (e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    Haus E / alltag & anders will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    If Haus E / alltag & anders processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such direct marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to Haus E / alltag & anders regarding processing for direct marketing purposes, Haus E / alltag & anders will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    Where personal data is processed by Haus E / alltag & anders for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1), the data subject, on grounds relating to their particular situation, has the right to object to processing of personal data concerning them, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

    In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact an employee of Haus E / alltag & anders or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

    Every data subject has the right, as granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them, or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

    If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Haus E / alltag & anders will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise rights related to automated individual decision-making, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

    Every data subject has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

7. Legal basis for processing

Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, such as in cases where processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR. In this case, the processing operations would be based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are in particular permitted to carry out such processing operations because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

8. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favour of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

9. Period for which the personal data is stored

The criterion used to determine the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

10. Provision of personal data as a statutory or contractual requirement; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide personal data in order to enter into a contract, which would then require us to process that data. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or if it is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of failing to provide the personal data.

11. Automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
