We are also legally obliged to provide information to certain public bodies on request. These are law enforcement authorities, authorities that prosecute administrative offences subject to fines, and the tax authorities. Any transfer of personal data is justified by the fact that (1) the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1(c) GDPR in conjunction with national statutory requirements to transfer data to law enforcement authorities or (2) we have a legitimate interest in transferring the data to the aforementioned third parties if there are indications of improper behaviour or to enforce our terms of use, other terms and conditions, or legal claims, and your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data within the meaning of Article 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR do not outweigh this interest.

You can find a list of these countries here. We also transfer your data to countries in which an appropriate level of protection for your data has been ensured by sufficient guarantees, e.g., by concluding certain data transfer agreements with the recipients of the data. For this we use the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

For further information or a copy of the guarantees, please contact our data protection officer (section 1).

12. No Obligation to Provide Personal Data

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it required in order to enter into an agreement. You are under no obligation to provide personal data. However, without signing up or establishing an Internet connection, you will not be able to use some of the functions of our App or will not be able to use them to their full extent.

13. Your Rights as Data Subject

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of consent granted under Article 6(1) sentence 1(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future without this affecting the lawfulness of the previous processing.

Under Article 15(1) GDPR, you have the right to access information, free of charge, on the personal data stored about you.

If the statutory requirements are met, you also have a right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR), erasure (Article 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR) of your personal data.

If you have provided the processed data yourself, you have a right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR.

If the basis of processing is Article 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR, you have a right to object under Article 21 GDPR. If you object to processing, your data will only be processed thereafter if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests in the objection.

If you have any questions or wish to exercise your rights, you can contact the data protection officer in writing or by e-mail (see clause 1). You also have a right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The data protection supervisory authority located in the state in which you live or where the controller is domiciled has jurisdiction.
