We process the photograph taken of you on the basis of the declaration of consent you have given. The purpose pursued with the processing results from the content of the respective declaration of consent. This may apply in the following cases:

  • Contributions in a photo collage as part of the digital event "Light + Building 2022"

  • Sending a mail referring to the final overall mosaic

The data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO.

You can revoke your consent at any time. Please note, however, that this revocation only has an effect for the future, i.e. the legality of the processing of the data already carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of the revocation is not affected by the revocation.
We delete the data when it is no longer required for the purposes we are pursuing, the storage period specified in the consent has expired or you have revoked the consent and there is no other legal basis. If the latter applies, we delete the data after the other legal basis no longer applies.

 

V. Is my personal data also collected from third parties?

We only process the personal data that we receive directly from you.

 

VI. Is there any automated decision making or profiling?

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in accordance with Art. 22 DSGVO.

 

VII. Do I have to provide my personal data?

There is no obligation for you to provide personal data; however, if you do not provide us with a photo, we cannot include you in the Gira photo mosaic.

 

VIII. Who has access to my personal data and which recipients receive it?

Within our company, only those departments and the employees working there who absolutely need such access to fulfil their functions or tasks have access to your personal data. These are employees from the marketing department.
We will only share your personal data with external recipients if there is a legal justification for doing so or you have consented to it. External recipients can be:

  • Processors: Service providers we use to provide services in the course of running the photo mosaic campaign or who are entrusted with the maintenance of our IT systems. These processors are carefully selected and regularly checked by us to ensure that your personal data is in good hands. The service providers may only process your personal data for the purposes specified by us.
  • Operators of the social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn)
  • Public authorities: Authorities and state institutions, such as public prosecutors' offices, courts or tax authorities, to which we may have to transmit personal data in individual cases.

 

IX: Is a transfer of my personal data to third countries intended?

A transfer of your personal data to third countries takes place through access from third countries to the online presences (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) on which your photo is published. The legal basis for this is the consent you have given.

 

X: How long will my personal data be stored?

For the storage period of your personal data, please refer to the respective chapter on data processing under point IV.

  1. Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we erase your personal data. This right exists, for example, if the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, or if the personal data has been processed unlawfully.

  1. Restriction of processing

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data. In this case, we will only store the personal data for which you have given consent or for which the GDPR permits processing. For example, you may have a right to restrict processing if you have contested the accuracy of your personal data.

If you have given us consent to process your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing of your personal data until revocation remains unaffected.

 

  1. Right of appeal to the supervisory authority

In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable law. To do this, you can contact the data protection authority responsible for your place of residence, workplace or the place of an alleged violation or the data protection authority responsible for us. The competent supervisory authority is the supervisory authority of the federal state in which you live or work or in which an alleged infringement is alleged to have taken place that is the subject of the complaint.
