Privacy statement

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH. The use of the iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data might become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from 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 and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company wishes to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH, as the controller responsible for the processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.

Definitions

The data protection declaration of iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for both the public as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used.

In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms, among others:

Personal data : Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they 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 one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject : Any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

Processing : Any operation or set of operations performed on 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.

Restriction of processing : The marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.

Profiling : Any form of automated processing of personal data intended to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects concerning that person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

Pseudonymization : The processing of personal data in such a way that the 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 subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or data controller : 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 designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

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

Recipient : A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not.

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

Consent : Any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Deliver the content of our website correctly,
Optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisements,
Ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and
Provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

This anonymously collected data and information is analyzed statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by European directives, regulations, or other legislative authorities. If the purpose of storage ceases or a legally mandated storage period expires, personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

Rights of the Data Subject

Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

Right to Access

Each data subject has the right to obtain free information from the controller about their stored personal data and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the GDPR grants the data subject access to the following information:

The purposes of processing,
The categories of personal data being processed,
The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed or will be disclosed, especially recipients in third countries or international organizations,
If possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration,
The existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing or to object to such processing,
The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority,
If the personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to its source,
The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed if their personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards related to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time.

Right to Rectification

Each data subject has the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject also 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, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time.

Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and as long as processing is not necessary:

The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed.
The data subject withdraws their consent and there is no other legal ground for processing.
The data subject objects to processing, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services.

If any of these reasons apply and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time. Our Data Protection Officer will ensure that the erasure request is promptly fulfilled.

If iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH has made personal data public and is obliged under Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, the company shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, this personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

Each data subject has the right 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 its use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time. The Data Protection Officer will arrange for the restriction of processing.

Right to Data Portability

Each data subject has the right 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 was provided, as long as 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, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time.

Right to Object

Each data subject has the right 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) of the GDPR. This includes profiling based on these provisions.

iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH shall no longer process the personal data unless the company can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the Data Protection Officer or another employee. In addition, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.

Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

Each data subject has the right 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, except where the decision:

Is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller,
Is authorized 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 and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
Is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller or is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, iUS Institut für Umwelttechnologien und Strahlenschutz GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their rights concerning automated individual decision-making, they may contact the Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time.

Each data subject has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact the Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time.

Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which 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 a party (e.g., processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service), the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data (e.g., for 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. In such cases, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR if it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

Legitimate Interests in 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 conduct our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

Duration for Which Personal Data Is Stored

The criterion used to determine the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

Legal or Contractual Requirements for Providing Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., details of the contractual partner). Sometimes, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us, in order to enter into a contract. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject may contact our Data Protection Officer. The Data Protection Officer will clarify to the data subject whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, and the consequences of not providing the personal data.

Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
