Data processing within the meaning of the GDPR means 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, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

This offer is not aimed at children under the age of 16. Persons under the age of 18 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their legal guardians. In accordance with Art. 8 GDPR, children under the age of 16 may only give such consent with the consent of their legal guardians. We do not intentionally collect or process personal data from minors.
4 Description of the scope of data processing
All data that we process is processed exclusively for specified and clear purposes.
We process your data:

5 Enquiries by email or contact form
When you contact us by email or via a contact form, the data you provide (e.g. name, address, telephone number, email address) will be stored by us so that we can process your inquiries, and the data you provide will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Legal provisions such as retention periods remain unaffected by this.
6 Transfer of data
Your personal data will only be transferred to third parties or to third countries if you have given us your express consent to do so or if this is required by law. A transfer to third countries outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or to an international organization does not take place unless there are appropriate guarantees or your explicit consent. The appropriate safeguards include the EU standard contractual clauses and an adequacy decision by the EU Commission.
7 Legal basis for data processing
- If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh this interest, the legal basis is: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR
- If we have obtained consent for the processing of your personal data, the legal basis applies: Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR
- Insofar as the processing operations are necessary to fulfill a contract with you, this also refers to any pre-contractual measures, the legal basis applies: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR
- The following legal bases apply to the application process and any resulting employment relationship: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b), Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG. § Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG

8 Storage period and data deletion

Thereafter, your data will be deleted, with the exception of data that must continue to be stored in order to fulfill legal obligations (retention obligations). Falcon also adheres to the principles of data storage avoidance and data economy.
9 Rights of the data subject
As the data subject, you have the following rights against Falcon. For this purpose, the requirements specified therein are mandatory.
Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): The right of access provides the data subject with a comprehensive insight into the data concerning him/her and some other important criteria, such as the purposes of processing or the duration of storage. The exceptions to this right set out in Section 34 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply.
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You have a right to rectification and/or completion of your personal data if this data is incorrect or incomplete. We will make the correction immediately.
Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You can demand that we delete your personal data. We are then obliged to delete the data immediately if one of the following reasons applies: Your data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; If you withdraw your consent, which is the basis for the data processing, and there is no other legal basis for the processing; You object to the processing of your data and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the data processing for direct marketing purposes; If the data has been processed unlawfully; The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You may request that we restrict the processing of your data if: you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the data; the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your data and request the restriction of their use instead; we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; you have objected to processing and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds. If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, we may only process this data - apart from storing it - 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 Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.
Right of notification (Art. 19 GDPR): If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for further processing that override your rights in accordance with the statutory provisions. You also have the right to revoke a declaration of consent granted under data protection law. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint. If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us is unlawful, you have the right to complain to a competent data protection supervisory authority about the processing. The competent data protection supervisory authority is that of your place of residence or your federal state or the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us (NRW, https://www.ldi.nrw.de).

This is initially data such as: IP address, date, time and the page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected about the user's specific visit to the user's personal account.
