Privacy Policy
We are delighted by your interest in our company, Easy-Hood. Privacy is of great importance to Easy-Hood. The use of Easy-Hood's websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if an individual wants to make use of specific services offered by our company through our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Easy-Hood. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.
Easy-Hood, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for the personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may still have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is open to any data subject to transmit personal data to us using alternative methods, such as by telephone.
1. DEFINITIONS
Easy-Hood's privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To ensure readability and understanding, we would like to explain the terms used in this privacy policy. In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:
A) PERSONAL DATA
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who 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.
B) DATA SUBJECT
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.
C) PROCESSING
Processing is 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.
D) RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
E) PROFILING
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
F) PSEUDONYMIZATION
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal 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 is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
G) DATA CONTROLLER
Controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its appointment may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.
H) PROCESSOR
Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
I) RECIPIENT
Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data under a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.
J) THIRD PARTY
Third party is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
K) CONSENT
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE DATA CONTROLLER
The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

3. COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION
The website of Easy-Hood collects a series of general data and information with each visit by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data can be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. Easy-Hood does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in 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.
4. CONTACT POSSIBILITY VIA THE WEBSITE
The website of Easy-Hood contains information, as required by law, that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general email address. If an individual contacts the data controller by email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the individual will be automatically stored. Personal data voluntarily provided by an individual to the data controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the individual. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
5. ROUTINE ERASURE AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA
The data controller processes and stores personal data of the individual only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject. When the purpose of storage no longer applies or when a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
6. RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL
A) RIGHT TO CONFIRMATION
Every individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain confirmation from the data controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. If an individual wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
B) RIGHT TO ACCESS
Every individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain free information from the data controller about the personal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the individual the right to obtain information about the following: the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data being processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, especially recipients in third countries or international organizations, if possible, the envisaged 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 rectification or erasure of personal data concerning the individual, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, if the personal data are not collected from the individual: all available information about the origin of the data, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with 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 the envisaged consequences of such processing for the individual. Furthermore, the individual has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the individual also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If an individual wishes to exercise this right of access, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
C) RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION
Every individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the individual has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If an individual wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
D) RIGHT TO ERASURE (RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN)
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to demand from the controller the erasure of their personal data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary: The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR. The personal data have been unlawfully processed. The erasure of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR. If one of the above-mentioned grounds applies and an affected person wants to request the erasure of personal data stored by Easy-Hood, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee will arrange for the erasure request to be fulfilled without undue delay. If the personal data have been made public by Easy-Hood and our company, as the controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, Easy-Hood, taking into account available technology and the implementation costs, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data, as long as the processing is not necessary. The employee of Easy-Hood will initiate the necessary measures on a case-by-case basis.
E) RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions 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 instead the restriction of their use. The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the above conditions is met and an affected person wants to request the restriction of personal data stored by Easy-Hood, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.
F) RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, as granted by the European legislator, 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 those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not 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, in exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Easy-Hood at any time.
G) RIGHT TO OBJECT
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. Easy-Hood will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If Easy-Hood 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 to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Easy-Hood processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, Easy-Hood will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. Additionally, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by Easy-Hood for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Easy-Hood. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
H) AUTOMATED INDIVIDUAL DECISION-MAKING, INCLUDING PROFILING
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, 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 when the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the individual and the data controller, (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the individual's rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or (3) is made with the individual's explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the individual and the data controller or (2) is made with the individual's explicit consent, Easy-Hood shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the individual's rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, which includes at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the data controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision. If the individual wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
I)RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT UNDER DATA PROTECTION LAW
Any individual affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the individual wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
7. LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a party, such as processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the 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. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor in our premises were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would need to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such a scenario, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, provided that the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).
8. LEGITIMATE INTERESTS PURSUED BY THE CONTROLLER OR A THIRD PARTY
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
9. RETENTION PERIOD OF PERSONAL DATA
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiration of the period, the relevant data will be routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
10. LEGAL OR CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVISION OF PERSONAL DATA; NECESSITY FOR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION; OBLIGATION OF THE DATA SUBJECT TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA; POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF NON-PROVISION
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may arise from contractual arrangements (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject may be obligated to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required or necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.
