III. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
As a general rule, we only collect and use the personal data of users of our homepage if this is necessary to provide a functional website, our content and our services.
The personal data of our users are only collected and used after they have given their consent. An exception to this principle applies in cases where statutory regulations permit the processing of the data or it is not possible for practical reasons to obtain their prior consent.
The legal basis for processing personal data is given by:
- Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR if consent is obtained from the data subject.
- Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR in the case of processing which serves to fulfil a contract to which the data subject is a contracting party. Processing which is required to carry out pre-contractual steps is also covered here.
- Art. 6 (1)© GDPR in the case of processing required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation.
- Art. 6 (1)(d) GDPR if vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data.
- Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR if the processing is necessary to uphold the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party, and these are not outweighed by the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject.
IV. Use of our website, General Information
1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time our website is visited, our system automatically registers the user’s data and information about their computer system. The following information is collected in the process:
- information on the browser type and version used
- the user’s operating system
- the user’s IP address
- date and time of access
- websites from which the user’s system reaches our website
- websites called up by the user’s system via our website
The data described — with the exception of the user’s IP address or other data which enable the data to be identified with a user — are described in our system’s log files. These data are not stored together with the user’s other personal data.
2. Purpose and legal basis for the data processing
Our system needs to temporarily store the IP address in order to facilitate delivery of the website to the user’s PC. To do so, the user’s IP address has to be retained for the duration of the session. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is given by Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.
It is essential for the operation of the website to register your personal data in order to deliver our website. For that reason, the user has no right of objection.
3. Length of storage
Your data will be erased as soon as they are no longer needed to meet the purpose of their collection. If your data are collected to guarantee delivery of the website, the data will be erased when the particular session is finished.
V. General information on the use of cookies
We use cookies on our website. By cookies, we mean text files which are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. If you call up a website, a cookie may be stored on your operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic character sequence which enables the browser to be unambiguously identified if the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our homepage more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the browser can still be identified after a change of page.
TTDPA (Ger.: TTDSG):
The legal basis for the storage of cookies, device identifiers and similar tracking technologies or for the storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment and access to this information is the European ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDPA; Ger.: TTDSG).
Please note that the legal basis for the processing of personal data collected in this context then results from the GDPR. The relevant legal basis for the processing of personal data in each specific case can be found below the respective cookie or the respective processing itself.
The primary legal basis for the storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment — consequently in particular for the storage of cookies — is their consent, §25 Abs.1 S.1 TTDPA (Ger.: TTDSG). Consent is given when visiting our website — although this does not have to be given, of course — and can be revoked at any time in the cookie settings.
According to §25 Abs.2 Nr.2 TTDPA (Ger.: TTDSG), consent is not required if the storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user’s terminal equipment is absolutely necessary for the provider of a telemedia service to be able to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user. You can see from the cookie settings which cookies are to be classified as absolutely necessary (often also referred to as “technically necessary cookies”) and therefore fall under the exception of §25 Para.2 TTDPA (Ger.: TTDSG) and therefore do not require consent.
DSGVO:
The following data are stored and transferred in the process:
- log-in information
The legal basis for the processing of personal data with the use of cookies is given by Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify use of our website.
We point out that some functions of our website can only be offered if cookies are used. This applies to the following applications:
- identification of users
We do not employ user data collected by technically necessary cookies to prepare user profiles.
Cookies are stored on the user’s PC and sent to our site by this PC. As the user, you therefore have control over the use of cookies. You can restrict or deactivate the transmission of cookies by making changes to the settings of your internet browser. Saved cookies can then be deleted again. Please note that you may no longer be able to use all the functions of our website if you deactivate cookies.
VI. Your rights / rights of the data subject

In addition, you could demand information on the following topics:
- purpose of the data processing;
- categories of personal data processed
- dthe recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data relating to yourself were disclosed or are still being disclosed;
- the planned duration of the storage of the personal data relating to yourself or, if no specific details can be given, the criteria for defining the length of storage;

- Finally, you have the right to request information as to whether personal data relating to yourself are being transferred to a third country or to an international organisation.

You can assert your right of information at:
Email: info@gsi-office.de
Postanschrift:
GSI Office Management GmbH
Landsberger Straße 314
80687 Munich
Germany
2. Right to rectification
Should the personal data relating to you and processed by us be incorrect or incomplete, you have a right of rectification or completion. Rectification will be performed without delay. Your right to rectification can be restricted to the extent that any such rectification may make it impossible to fulfil the research and statistical purposes or seriously hamper such work, and the restriction is necessary in order to meet such research and statistical purposes.
3. Right of restriction
The right to restrict the processing of personal data relating to yourself can be asserted in the following cases:
- the accuracy of the personal data is disputed for a length of time which will enable the controller to check their accuracy;
- the processing is unlawful, but erasure of the personal data is rejected and instead restrictions on the use of the personal data are demanded;
- the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
- the data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate reasons outweigh those of the data subject.
If the processing of the personal data relating to yourself has been restricted, such data may only be processed — apart from their storage — with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity, or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the processing has been restricted in accordance with the conditions outlined, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.
Your right to restrict the processing can be limited to the extent that any such restriction may make it impossible to fulfil the research and statistical purposes or seriously hamper such work, and the limitation is necessary in order to meet such research and statistical purposes.
4. Right to erasure
If the reasons set out below apply, you can request that the personal data relating to yourself are erased immediately. The controller is obliged to erase such data without delay. The reasons are as follows:
- The personal data relating to yourself are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- The processing is governed by a consent granted under Art. 6 (1)(a) or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, and you revoke the consent. A further prerequisite is that there is no other legal basis for the processing.
- You lodge an objection to the processing (Art. 21 (1) DSGVO), and there are no overriding legitimate justifications for the processing. A further option is to lodge an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
- The personal data relating to yourself are being processed unlawfully.
- Erasure of the personal data relating to yourself is required to meet a legal obligation in accordance with Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
- The personal data relating to yourself were collected with reference to services offered by the information society in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
If we have published the personal data relating to yourself and we are obliged under Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase them, we will take appropriate steps, including of a technical nature, taking into account the technology available and the implementation costs, to inform controllers responsible for data processing who are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested them to delete all links to these personal data or copies or duplicates of such personal data.
We point out that there is no right of erasure if the processing is necessary
- to exercise the right to free speech and information;
- zto meet a legal obligation which requires the processing in accordance with the law of the Union or that of Member States to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task which lies in the public interest or that is carried out in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (h and i) as well as Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR if the right specified in Section a) will probably render realisation of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously compromise them, or
- to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
5. Right to information
If you have asserted a right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data relating to yourself have been disclosed, of such rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of the processing, unless this turns out to be impossible or is associated with a disproportionate amount of time and effort. You also have the right to be informed of these recipients.
- the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. (6) (1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, and
- the processing is performed with the aid of automated procedures.
Finally, in exercising this right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data relating to yourself transferred directly from one controller to another if this is technically feasible and no freedoms or rights of other persons are impaired in the process.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data required for the performance of a task which lies in the public interest or is carried out in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.
You are entitled at any time to revoke your declaration of consent with respect to data protection laws. We point out that revocation of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the data processed on the basis of such consent prior to its revocation.
You also have the right, for reasons stemming from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to yourself carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. The right of objection also applies to any profiling based on these provisions.The controller will no longer process the personal data relating to yourself unless he can show compelling, sensitive reasons for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct mail marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling provided it is associated with such direct advertising. If you lodge an objection to processing for the purpose of direct mail marketing, the personal data relating to yourself will no longer be processed for these purposes.You are also free to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of services of the information society (notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC) by means of automated procedures in which technical specifications are used.
You also have the right, for reasons resulting from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes under Art. 89 (1) GDPR.
Your right of objection can be restricted to the extent that any such objection may make it impossible to fulfil the research and statistical purposes or seriously hamper such work, and the restriction is necessary in order to meet such research and statistical purposes.
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you also have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which is legally binding on you or which has a considerably adverse effect on you in some other way. An exception to this principle applies, however, if the decision
- is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between yourself and the controller,
- is permitted due to legal regulations of the Union or Member States to which the controller is subject, and such legal regulations contain appropriate measures for preserving your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
- is made with your explicit consent.
If the processing is performed within the confines of cases specified in (1) and (3), the controller will take appropriate steps to safeguard rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests. At the least, this includes the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to present your own point of view and to challenge the decision.
The decision under (1) and (3) may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable steps have been taken to safeguard rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
If you are of the view that the processing of your personal data breaches the GDPR, you have the ultimate right to complain to a regulatory authority, particularly in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place where the suspected breach has been committed.
