If your personal data is processed, you are a "data subject" within the meaning of the GDPR, which may entitle you to the rights described below. If you assert rights against Peter Park as the controller, we recommend that you address them to our contact details above:
In accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO, you may request confirmation from us as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed by us and request information as to the extent to which we are processing your data.
If personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete, you have a right to rectification and/or completion in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO.
Ifthe legal requirements of Art. 17 GDPR are met, you can demand that we delete your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate protection interests. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate erasure, e.g. in the case of statutory retention obligations.
Irrespective of the exercise of your right to erasure, we will erase your data immediately and completely to fulfill our statutory erasure obligations once the purpose of processing no longer applies, provided that there is no legal or statutory retention period to the contrary.
You can request that we restrict the processing of your data in the cases specified in Art. 18 GDPR. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
According to Art. 20 DSGVO, you have the right to have data provided by you, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
If we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you can object to this data processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions (see Art. 21 GDPR). If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising. You can object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without giving reasons.
Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. However, the legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Please note that even after consent has been withdrawn, it may still be possible to process the data concerned in whole or in part on the basis of other legal bases.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG). A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
If you are of the opinion that we are violating German or European data protection law when processing your data, please contact us so that we can clarify any questions you may have.
Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for us at our company headquarters:
Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach; Fax: +49 (0) 981 180093-800; E-Mail: poststelle@lda.bayern.de; www.lda.bayern.de
We mainly process the data that we receive directly from the data subjects when they use our website as part of a business initiation or in the course of the business relationship (see also Part B Section VI).
Via our website and our services, we process data that we receive during your visit or that you actively communicate to us as part of your use (e.g. when using our contact form or a chat function). Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website or use one of our services. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of a page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website or access one of our services. You can find details on this under Part B.
In individual cases, we also process data that we have permissibly received or acquired from other third parties such as credit agencies, creditor protection associations or from authorities, or that we have permissibly taken, received or acquired from publicly accessible sources (e.g. telephone directories, company registers, press, Internet or other media).
Thepersonal data that we regularly process includes personal master/contact data such as: Title, first and last name, salutation, date of birth. Address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax, position in the company.
In addition, depending on the order, service or other relationship with you, we process the following other personal data:
We process your data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as amended, in particular on the following basis:
The processing of personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the fulfillment of contractual obligations of Peter Park in particular in connection with the sale and distribution of our products and services as well as all services required for the operation or administration of Peter Park industry-standard activities (e.g. customer and user administration). The data may also be processed at a pre-contractual level as part of a business initiation with Peter Parkor in the course of other contractual relationships with Peter Park are processed.
For example, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis in the following cases:
Details on the purpose of this data processing can be found in the respective contract documents and terms and conditions.
Based on a balancing of interests, data processing may go beyond the actual performance of a contract in order to protect the legitimate interests of Peter Park or third parties. This is permissible unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms require the protection of personal data to be overridden. Data processing for the protection of legitimate interests occurs, for example, in the following cases:
Processing of your data may be necessary in part for the purpose of fulfilling various legal obligations and requirements to which we are subject, e.g. from the German Commercial Code or the German Fiscal Code.
If a service used by us in any way stores information in the user's terminal equipment or accesses such information, consent is required in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TDDDG. If the service functions without any access to the terminal equipment, the GDPR is relevant. If we request your consent within the scope of the GDPR, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.
If you have given us your consent to process your data in individual cases, it will be processed in accordance with the purposes and to the extent agreed in the declaration of consent. Consent given, e.g. for sending a newsletter, can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. To do so, please use the contact details provided in Section A. I or II. Please note that processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by the revocation and that data processing may still be possible, at least in part, on the basis of another legal basis.
At Peter Park those employees or organizational units receive your data that need them to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or to process or pursue our legitimate interests. Your data will be forwarded for the initiation or processing of a contractual relationship (e.g. provision of a service or sale of goods) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO or - depending on the nature of the specific contractual relationship - as well as on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, in particular to companies that we regularly use in connection with the provision of our service or for contract processing. This concerns the following recipients or categories of recipients:
If we use a service provider in the sense of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. Where required by law, processors are contractually obliged by means of an order processing agreement to treat your data confidentially and to process it only in the context of providing the service. The processors commissioned by us will receive your data if they require the data to perform their respective service.
Your data will only be transmitted to state institutions and authorities or collected for this purpose within the scope of the GDPR.
Your personal data will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it to us or for which you have consented to its processing and will only be stored until this purpose has been fulfilled. After complete fulfillment of the purpose or as soon as you have requested us to delete your data, your data will only be stored for as long as this is necessary due to statutory limitation or retention periods (in particular tax and commercial law). However, the data will be deleted after these periods have expired at the latest, unless you have expressly consented to further or different use. You can also assert rights during the retention periods, such as the blocking of your data. Please see Section A. Clause II.
Your data will be deleted or blocked by us as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies or you request us to delete it.
As a matter of principle, we process and, in particular, store your data only until the end of the business relationship or until the expiry of the applicable guarantee, warranty and limitation periods. For example, the limitation period according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB) is generally three years, but in certain cases up to thirty years. In addition, it may be necessary to retain data until the legally binding conclusion of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence.
We are also subject to statutory documentation and retention periods (e.g. from the German Commercial Code (e.g. Section 257 HGB), the German Money Laundering Act or the German Fiscal Code (e.g. Section 147 AO)). The retention and documentation periods specified there are two to ten years. For example, we would have to store your data even after termination of a contract with you for a period up to the conclusion of the tax audit of the last calendar year in which you were our customer.
As part of our processing operations, personal data may also be transferred to entities in so-called third countries outside the EU or the EEA in certain business transactions or areas of activity that have not yet been certified by the EU Commission as having an adequate level of data protection, for example to the USA. If such a data transfer should become necessary in individual cases, this will only take place on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, standard contractual clauses, suitable guarantees for compliance with data protection or your express consent.
In principle, you can visit our websites and use them for information purposes without having to provide any personal information (e.g. register, place orders or otherwise provide information about yourself). In this case, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services or to the extent that cookies and similar technologies used on the website transmit personal information to us when you visit the website.

The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer, which your Internet browser automatically transmits to us or our web host (so-called log files). These server log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user arrives at the website or the link to the website to which the user goes contains personal data. The following information is collected and stored by our hosting provider in this context:
The data is stored in the log files of our web hoster. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.
We use the company Webflow, Inc, 398 11th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA(www.webflow.com)(hereinafter: "Webflow") as web host and software provider for the creation, provision and operation of our website, online forms and other web elements.

As part of the aforementioned services provided by Webflow, data may be transferred to the USA on the basis of standard contractual clauses that Webflow has agreed with us as part of its Data Processing Addendum or an equivalent data protection guarantee as part of commissioned processing.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The above information is also required to provide the service in accordance with Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG.
Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Weuse functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics for our online services. The provider in Europe is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google"), a subsidiary of Google LLC Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics also uses cookies. The information generated by a Google cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google processes the data and we receive reports on your user behavior. These may include the following reports:
Google Analytics uses a tracking code to create a random, unique ID that is linked to your browser cookie. This is how Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user. The next time you visit our site, you will be recognized as a "returning" user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This makes it possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles.
Identifiers such as cookies are used to measure your interactions on our website. Interactions are all types of actions that you perform on our website. If you also use other Google systems (such as a Google account), data generated via Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not pass on any Google Analytics data unless we as the website operator authorize this. Exceptions may be made if required by law. The cookies used by Google Analytics can be found in the detailed information of our cookie management tool CookieHub, which you can access there under "Cookie statements".
Our website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "anonymizeIp()". This means that your IP address is not stored in full and is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. The visitor to the website cannot be identified. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The following is an overview of the most important data collected by Google Analytics:
The list is not exhaustive and serves only as a general guide to data storage by Google Analytics. For more information about the processing of data by Google, please read Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
We use Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our website and services, to compile reports on the activities on our website and services and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website and services and internet usage. We also use Google Analytics to analyze data from AdWords and the double-click cookie for statistical purposes. Since we as website and service operators have a great interest in this analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our offers and advertising placed there, we ask you to give your consent to the use of Google Analytics and the storage of Google Analytics cookies on the basis of § 25 para. 2 TDDDG.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website or our services is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Nevertheless, in exceptional cases the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. By consenting to the activation of the cookies used by Google Analytics, you also consent to your data being processed in the USA in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, unless the data transfer is secured on the basis of EU standard contractual clauses. The USA is regarded by the European Court of Justice as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal recourse. If you click on the "Reject all" button or make a limited selection without cookies from Google, the described transmission to Google will not take place. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website or services, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google also states that it may transfer this information to third parties on its own responsibility if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google has contractually guaranteed that it will never associate your IP address with other Google data. In order to safeguard this and the data processing carried out for us, we have concluded a contract with Google for the processing of data on our behalf.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.
By installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics(http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de), you can object to the use of your data and collection by Google Analytics. By doing so, you inform Google Analytics that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics.
Furthermore, you can install an opt-out cookie on your device via this link https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/?hl=de#disable, especially for browsers on mobile devices, to prevent the future collection of data by Google Analytics on our website. Please note that if you delete the cookies on your device, you must also reinstall the opt-out cookie.
Alternatively, you can also set your cookie preferences via the Cookie Consent Tool Cookie Hub integrated by us.
Google Tag Manager is a solution provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google"), which allows marketers to manage so-called website tags via an interface. The Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a domain without cookies and does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager helps with the integration and ensures the triggering of other tags, code snippets, tracking code and conversion pixels on a website, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. Google Tag Manager offers us an easy-to-use user interface that does not require any in-depth programming knowledge or modifications to the website's source code.
We only use Google Tag Manager to display Google Ads (formally Google AdWords) for the purposes of our search engine marketing activities.
For more information on Google Tag Manager, see: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
We use Google Ads, a service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, offered in Europe by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, to integrate advertisements within our online offering and to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material on external websites.
This allows us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". Google AdWords uses cookies for this purpose (see the general explanations above). By setting the cookie, it is possible to analyze the use of our websites. Each time one of the individual pages of the website operated by us and on which a Google Ads component has been integrated is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Ads component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, again the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for the cookie used: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If you do not agree to the storage of cookies on your computer, please follow the general instructions for this or at the end of this explanation.
Google Ads also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to analyze information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.
The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website, including your IP address and the delivery of advertising formats, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to Google's contractual partners (see https://support.google.com/admanage r/answer/94149?visit_id=637060482444635472-69980806&rd=1). In detail, we have no influence on the data collected by Google, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection and the storage period. However, to the best of our knowledge, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you. However, if you are logged into a Google account, your data can be assigned directly. If you do not want this assignment to your Google profile, please log out before using our website.
Further information on data protection at Google Ads can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de,andhttps://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de
The storage of Google Ads cookies and web beacons is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We also use Google Ads on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing the reach of our offer, as well as in placing relevant and interesting ads, improving campaign performance reports and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
We have also concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing.
You can prevent the installation of cookies from Google Ads in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating interest-based ads on Google via the link www.google.de/ads/preferences, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our online offer to their full extent.
Alternatively, you can also set your cookie preferences using the cookie management tool CookieHub that we have integrated.
Our websites use the visitor action pixel ("meta pixel") from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta") to measure conversions. The Meta pixel is a code on our websites that analyzes the actions that users perform there.
In this way, the behavior of site visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a meta ad. This allows the effectiveness of meta ads on Facebook or Instagram to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes (so-called "conversion") and future advertising measures to be optimized, for example to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of ads (so-called"meta ads"). In particular, we can subsequently determine that the meta ads placed by us are only displayed to meta users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").
The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users.

From time to time, we use content and service offers from the video platform YouTube to integrate video content on our website using a plugin or to link to videos from our YouTube channel on our website. YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States, offered in Europe by Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland (hereinafter: "Google").
We may process data entered by you on our YouTube channel (in particular user name and content published by you under your account) if we respond to your posts or messages via our YouTube channel.
Otherwise, we only receive certain non-personal information from Google about post activity, such as the number of profile or media clicks and the viewing time for a specific video. This data can be viewed via our YouTube account. Furthermore, Google is responsible for its own data processing; we have no way of preventing or stopping the use of analysis tools and similar by Google in YouTube.
If you want to play the embedded videos using this plugin (by clicking the play button), your IP address will be sent to YouTube, as YouTube cannot send the video content to your browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display. The YouTube server is also informed which subpage of our website you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account as a YouTube member, you also enable YouTube to assign your usage behavior directly to your personal profile when you play our videos. Further information on data processing by Google when using YouTube can be found in the applicable YouTube privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
YouTube is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to make video content available on our website or to link to it and to process inquiries or comments.
To prevent assignment to your user account, log out of your YouTube profile before playing our video content. You must find out about ways to restrict the processing of your data by Google via Google or in your YouTube user account. For example, you can do this in the general settings of your Google account and under "Privacy and security". In addition, you can restrict Google's access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. in the settings on mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers). However, this depends on the operating system used.
Ourwebsite may contain links to other websites. We have no influence whatsoever on the content and design of the offers of other providers. The statements in this data protection notice therefore do not apply to external providers whose offers or content we merely link to.
If you are forwarded to other pages via links from our pages, please inform yourself there about the respective handling of your data.
We maintain further online presences within social networks or industry networks (such as Facebook, Xing or LinkedIn) (hereinafter also referred to as "SN") and platforms (e.g. YouTube) and link to them from our website. Clicking on the respective buttons (recognizable by the respective logos of the social networks or platforms) will take you to the respective online presence of the SN. The purpose of these online presences is to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services.
When calling up the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing policies of their respective operators apply.
Since the use of SN takes place outside of our website or services, we have no influence on this, unless otherwise stated below. However, we would like to point out that when using the above-mentioned platforms and networks to which we link, data may also be processed in the USA by these SN companies and may also be processed by the respective operators for market research and advertising purposes, including the creation of user profiles. If you are logged in to the respective networks and platforms, they may also store cookies on your device that track your use of our platform or services and other information about your usage behavior.
Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we only process users' data when they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write comments or send us messages.
In order to make it easier for you to obtain information about the respective data processing and the objection options of the respective operators, we refer below to the data protection declarations and information of the operators of the respective networks.
Weonly process your personal data in the context of direct contact with us via the respective SN or interaction with our presence there or its content. Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process users' data on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the effective information of users and communication only if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms (e.g. when users write posts on our online presences or send us messages). If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
Insofar as personal data is processed in connection with our appearance on an SN in addition and the respective SN alone decides on the purposes and means of the processing, the respective SN is otherwise the sole controller of the processing. Please carefully check which personal data you communicate with us via a SN appearance. If you would like to avoid that SN processes personal data you provide to us, please contact us by other means.
If you are a member of one of the SNs on which we maintain online presences and do not want the SN to collect data about you via our offer and link it to your data at the SN, you must log out of your SN before visiting our offer. For a detailed description of the respective processing, information on the duration of the storage of data by the respective SN and the opt-out options, please refer to the information of the providers linked below.
In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.
We maintain a Facebook company page ("Fan Page") on the SN of Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland).
Facebook Ireland is jointly responsible with us for the collection of data from visitors to our fan page, which is why we have concluded an agreement on the joint processing of personal data with Facebook within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, as well as additional data processing conditions:
Facebook Inc., Menlo Park, California, USA (hereinafter: Facebook Inc.) also collects and uses so-called Page Insights for analysis purposes. Page Insights is the aggregation of data that enables both us and Facebook Inc. to learn how our users interact with our site. Page Insights may be based on personal data collected in connection with our users' visits to or interactions with our site. For this purpose, we have entered into a Controller Addendum with Facebook ("Controller Addendum", see above), which governs in particular which security measures Facebook takes in the context of Page Insights and how Facebook responds to user requests. The purposes for which the collection and transmission of the personal data constituting the joint processing takes place are set out in detail from the above Controller Addendum referring Terms of Use.
The data collected when you visit our "fan page" otherwise includes information about the types of content that users view or interact with, or the actions they take (see under "Things you and others do and provide" in the Facebook Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy), as well as information about the devices used by users (e.g. IP addresses, operating system, browser type, language settings, cookie data described in detail under "Device information" in the Facebook Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy).
However, by maintaining the Facebook company page, we share responsibility for Page Insights and have agreed with Facebook Ireland that Facebook Ireland is responsible for fulfilling the rights of data subjects in accordance with Articles 15-20 of the GDPR with regard to the personal data stored by Facebook Ireland following joint processing. Therefore, we have an obligation to notify Facebook if we receive data protection requests regarding Page Insights. Please note that we forward requests regarding Page Insights to Facebook Ireland.

We maintain our Facebook fan page for the purpose of communication and simple channeling of contact requests from Facebook users. The collection of this data and its further processing is in our legitimate interest and in the legitimate interest of Facebook Inc. in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR.
We would like to point out that we cannot switch the page insights technology on and off. We must therefore forward corresponding requests to Facebook Ireland for the most part, insofar as we have not collected data ourselves. If you do not want Facebook Inc. to collect your data, we ask that you do not use our Facebook company page and/or set your browser to prevent cookies from being set and/or log out of Facebook while using our page.

The provider of Instagram in Europe is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter: "Meta Platforms Ireland"), a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (hereinafter: "Meta Platforms USA").
If you click on the button provided for the link, you will be automatically redirected to our Instagram website. The use of the interactive functions provided by Instagram on the basis of Instagram's terms of use (e.g. commenting or rating) is the responsibility of the user. When you visit our Instagram page, Instagram collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. Since Instagram stores information about the end devices of its users (for example as part of the "login notification" function) as part of the creation of a user account, Instagram may be able to assign IP addresses to individual users. If you are currently logged in to Instagram with an existing Instagram user account, a cookie with your Instagram ID is stored on your device. This enables Instagram to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Instagram pages. Instagram plugins integrated into websites also enable Instagram to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Instagram profile. Instagram can use this data to offer you customized content or advertising. Meta Platforms Ireland is solely responsible for this data processing. Meta Platforms Ireland does not conclusively and clearly state how Meta Platforms Ireland uses the data from visits to Instagram pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities are assigned to individual users, how long Meta Platforms Ireland stores this data and whether data from a visit to our Instagram website is passed on to third parties, and we are not aware of this. We have no influence on the data processing operations carried out by Instagram under its own responsibility.
However, in addition to Meta Platforms Ireland, we are also jointly responsible for the collection of data from visitors to our Instagram website, insofar as this involves the collection of "Page Insights" data. This is anonymized data that enables the operator to view statistical evaluations of the use of the fan page. For the owner of an Instagram website, this function is an integral part of the user agreement with Meta Platforms Ireland. This means that we cannot unilaterally decide whether the Page Insights are collected or not. Further information on the "Page Insights" function and the use of cookies as well as the setting options can be found at
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data

"Controller Addendum ": https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum
"Data processing conditions ": https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing/update

The information from Meta Platforms Ireland required under Article 13(1)(a) and (b) GDPR can be found in Instagram's Data Policy at https://www.instagram.com/legal/privacy/.
We have agreed with Meta Platforms Ireland that Meta Platforms Ireland is responsible for fulfilling the rights of data subjects under Articles 15-20 of the GDPR with regard to the personal data stored by Meta Platforms Ireland following joint processing. Therefore, we have an obligation to notify Meta Platforms Ireland if we receive data protection requests regarding Page Insights. Please note that we forward requests regarding Page Insights to Meta Platforms Ireland. Please also note the information on your rights as a data subject in section A.
As the operator of the Instagram site, we may receive statistical information about the use of our Instagram site as part of our contractual agreements with Meta Platforms Ireland on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
If you do not want information to be transmitted to Meta Platforms Ireland, the transmission can be partially prevented by logging out of your Instagram user account or deactivating the "stay logged in" function, deleting the cookies on your device and closing and restarting your browser. In this way, information that can be used to directly identify you will be deleted. This allows you to use our Instagram website without revealing your Instagram ID. If you access interactive functions on the website (like, comment, post and others), an Instagram login screen will appear. Once you have logged in, Meta Platforms Ireland will once again recognize you as a specific user. Please note that the Page Insights function can also be used to collect personal data from people who do not have a Facebook or Instagram profile.
According to Meta Platforms Ireland, the IP address collected from you is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days.

At the time of sending your message via one of our contact forms, the following data is also stored:
If contact is made via an e-mail address provided by us, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
We use HubSpot Forms on our website, a service of our CRM system HubSpot, to integrate contact forms and process the data entered there. (see part C, section II). HubSpot Forms offers functionalities for SEO, content creation, lead management, email marketing and evaluations. The user data entered in the forms is stored in our customer relationship management system provided by HubSpot.
We use Google email services, which are offered via Google Workspace by Google Cloud EMEA Limited, 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google"). In addition to our CRM software as our central software for managing and processing inquiries, emails are therefore also stored on Google servers. We have selected the "Europe" region as the server location and have concluded an order processing agreement with Google. Any further transfer of these emails to third countries, in particular to the USA, does not take place, which Google also contractually guarantees.
To channel and sort incoming requests, we use an interface to so-called AI-based services that are designed to understand and generate natural language and associated input, analyze information and make predictions. We use the ChatGPT language model from the provider OpenAI Ireland Ltd, 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117-126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland. We have agreed with OpenAI that the use of our data for the training of models or the sharing of data with OpenAI is excluded. OpenAI's privacy policy can be viewed at https://openai.com/de/policies/eu-privacy-policy. We have concluded a data processing agreement with OpenAI ("Data Processing Addendum", see https://openai.com/policies/data-processing-addendum). As data is transferred to the USA when the OpenAI API is used, the Data Processing Addendum stipulates that the EU standard contractual clauses apply in order to ensure an adequate level of data protection for the data even when it is transferred to a third country.
We use the software solution Airparser, Sepapaja tn 6, Tallinn 11415, Estonia, to read attachments with pdf or word files. Airparser uses AI technology to recognize and extract structured data. We have concluded an agreement with Airparser for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, whereby Airparser is contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations (see https://airparser.com/dpa/).

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending a contact form request or an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the contact form request or the e-mail contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us to process inquiries and to contact you. If you contact us by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. If you leave a cell phone number, we will use the number you provide for this purpose.
The use of AI-based services is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
User data may also be stored in our customer relationship management system (CRM software) HubSpot or a comparable request organization on the basis of our legitimate interests.
The other personal data processed during the submission process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and no legal requirements necessitate longer storage.
If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued unless we can base this on another data protection law basis or have an overriding interest in further data processing.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case, unless a longer storage is required by law.
After completing a registration process, we offer customers the opportunity to submit support requests to us via our portal using a designated login area, or to request support services, as well as to increase access to customer-specific information.
The portal can be accessed via our website. We provide the necessary password to the respective users as part of the business transaction. The access data required for the login will be stored by us when a corresponding user account is created. The following personal data is provided by the user for this purpose or as part of the registration process:
We use the mobile phone number exclusively for activating a two-factor authentication. The access data required for login (email address and password) are stored by us when a corresponding user account is created. In order to complete the registration process, the user receives an activation link to the email address provided by him, which he must then click. Alternatively, the user can copy the link and call it up via the address bar of his web browser.
For technical reasons, a limited amount of data (so-called connection data) is collected each time the portal is accessed. This data is technically necessary to establish and maintain a connection between the user's device and our servers. Furthermore, this data is required to maintain the session after a login and to prevent unauthorized access to this session.
As part of each registration process and the use of the customer portal or the portal, we or the hosting service provider we use store the IP address and the time of the respective user action (timestamp), Internet service provider, web browser and operating system used or the respective version information, language settings, referrer URL and the name of the website accessed.
When accessing the portal and logging into the portal, cookies are set that are required to verify user authorization, maintain the session and protect the session. We use the customer identity management service Auth0 from the provider Auth0 LLC, First Street, Floor 6 San Francisco, CA 94105, USA for the login process.

Thelegal basis for the processing of data processed in the course of registration and use of the portal as well as inquiries made or downloads used is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR due to the intended conclusion and execution of a contract. In addition, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is relevant, as the processing of personal data in connection with our portal serves to enable an effective way of contacting and communicating with our respective sales and support teams, as well as the administration, processing and resolution of incoming requests and the secure connection between the users' end devices and our servers. The processed information is also required to provide the service in accordance with Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG.

Onour website, under the heading "Careers", we inform you from time to time about vacancies at Peter Park and, if applicable, about the possibility of completing internships or apprenticeships with us, or working for us as part of a dual study program or as a working student.
If you send us your application as a result or as part of an unsolicited application, we regularly process personal master data and contact data such as: First name and surname, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth.
In addition, we process the data that you send us with your application documents (resume, photographs, references, etc.). Which of the data provided to us is processed in detail depends largely on the position to be filled. At the very least, we require data regarding your previous educational/professional background, your qualifications, your skills and personal details in order to be able to assess whether your application is suitable for the vacant position. In this context, the processing of your data is generally mandatory for the preparation and completion of the application process. If you do not provide us with any or sufficient data, this may result in us not being able to consider you as an applicant when filling a position, having to reject you as an applicant or no longer being able to carry out the application process.
Wedo not require any information from you that is not usable under the General Equal Treatment Act under German law or any other national or international equal treatment law. Please also do not forward any confidential information or trade secrets of your former or current employer to us.
We provide your data to those employees or organizational units that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or to process or pursue our legitimate interests, significantly the HR department and the management level of the department within which the position is to be filled.
In accordance with § 164 Para. 1 S. 4 SGB IX, we are obliged to inform the responsible representative body for severely disabled employees of every application received from people with a severe disability and to provide the relevant data on the applicant.
Personal data is processed primarily for the purpose of personnel selection to fill vacancies for the initiation of an employment contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, or Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG).
Based on a balancing of interests, data processing may take place beyond the actual initiation of an employment contract in order to safeguard our legitimate interests in the selection of personnel and assessment of whether an applicant and the position to be filled are a good match (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). This is permissible unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, prevail. Data processing for the protection of legitimate interests is carried out, for example, when using job exchanges, recruitment agencies, service providers for the implementation of recruiting procedures, CVs, certificates and other data transmitted by you to us, which may contain particularly sensitive information about mental and physical health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or political party or sex life. If you voluntarily provide us with such special personal data (see Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR), we will
Severely disabled applicants have the right under Section 164 (1) sentence 8 of the German Social Code IX to refuse the involvement of the relevant representative body for severely disabled persons and thus prevent the body from being notified. Please inform us as part of the application if you reject the involvement of the responsible representative for severely disabled persons.
If you are rejected after the application process has ended, or if you withdraw your application beforehand, we will store your data for a period of 6 months from this point in time in order to be able to meet any obligations to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) and to defend ourselves against any legal claims.
In the event of a successful application, we store the applicant data provided in the personnel file for the purpose and for the duration of the employment relationship.
If you contact us with questions about our services, enter into contractual negotiations with us, accept one of our offers or enter into other contractual agreements with us, we will process the personal data you provide in this context. Which data is processed in detail depends largely on the relevant objects of purchase or the services that you purchase from us or that you request. In this context, the processing of your data is generally absolutely necessary for the preparation, conclusion and execution of the contract. If you do not provide us with this data, we may have to refuse to conclude a contract or execute the order or may no longer be able to perform an existing contract.
Insofar as we use data in the context of contract initiation or fulfillment with a business customer, business or cooperation partner, our interest in handling your data lies in enabling and maintaining the exchange with the business customer or the respective business or cooperation partner, typically in the context of a contractual or other relationship. If you act as a contact person - typically in your function as an employee at these companies - you generally have no overriding conflicting interest, insofar as this interaction with us is part of your area of responsibility, so that a right of objection is regularly ruled out.
However, you are not obliged to give your consent to data processing with regard to data that is not relevant for the performance of the contract or that is not required by law.
