In accordance with Art. 4(1) of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as "GDPR"), "processing" means 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.


With this privacy policy, we provide you with information about the nature, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, as far as we either alone or jointly with others decide on the purposes and means of the processing. Additionally, we inform you about the third-party components used by us for optimization purposes and to enhance the quality of use, where third parties process data under their own responsibility.
