Privacy Policy

We are very pleased with your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Hybride-teams.de. The use of the websites of Hybride-teams.de is possible without providing any personal data. However, if an individual wishes to use special services provided by our company via 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 will generally obtain the consent of the individual concerned.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of an individual, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Hybride-teams.de. Through this privacy policy, our company seeks to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, individuals are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.

As the controller responsible for data processing, Hybride-teams.de 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 may still have security vulnerabilities, meaning absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, individuals are free to provide personal data through alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Hybride-teams.de is based on the terminology used by the European legislator in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:

a) Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (referred to as the “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.

b) Data Subject

The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for processing.

c) Processing

Processing refers to 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 refers to the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

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

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is 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 to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or Controller Responsible for Processing

The controller or the controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, 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 nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a specific investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

j) Third Party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or 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.

k) Consent

Consent of the data subject means 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.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

The controller, within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other applicable data protection laws in the member states of the European Union, and other provisions with a data protection nature, is:

Collection of General Data and Information

Each time the website of Hybride-teams.de is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, it collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Data collected may include (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-pages that are 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) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. Hybride-teams.de does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is required to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Hybride-teams.de statistically analyzes this anonymously collected data and information with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security in our enterprise, ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.


Subscription to Comments on the Blog on the Website

Comments made on the Hybride-teams.de blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commenter subscribes to follow-up comments on a specific blog post. If a data subject opts to subscribe to comments, the controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify, through the double-opt-in procedure, whether the owner of the specified email address has indeed chosen this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.


Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as provided for by the European directives and regulations or any other lawmaker in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by European directives and regulations or another competent lawmaker expires, personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.


Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European directives and regulations 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 can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

b) Right to Access
Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directives and regulations, to obtain, at any time, free information from the controller about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations provide the data subject with access to the following information:

  • 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, particularly in the case of recipients in third countries or international organizations;

  • where possible, the planned period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

  • the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing by the controller, or the right to object to such processing;

  • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;

  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and—at least in these cases—meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data are 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 relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right to Rectification
Each data subject has the right granted by the European directives and regulations to demand the rectification without undue delay of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject has the right granted by the European directives and regulations to request the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to 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) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

  • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

  • The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with 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 as referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Hybride-teams.de, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Hybride-teams.de will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with without delay. Where Hybride-teams.de has made personal data public and is obliged, pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, to erase the personal data, Hybride-teams.de, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, to the extent processing is not required. The employee of Hybride-teams.de will arrange the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject has the right granted by the European directives and regulations 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 their use instead.

  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the 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 the processing of personal data stored by Hybride-teams.de, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Hybride-teams.de will arrange the restriction of processing.

f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject has the right granted by the European directives and regulations 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, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) 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, 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. In exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject also has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of others are not adversely affected. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of Hybride-teams.de at any time.

g) Right to Object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Hybrid-teams.de will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If Hybrid-teams.de 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 purposes. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Hybrid-teams.de’s processing for direct marketing purposes, Hybrid-teams.de will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with 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 Hybrid-teams.de or another employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, using automated procedures that use technical specifications.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) 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, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Hybrid-teams.de will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise their rights regarding automated decisions, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

i) Right to Withdraw Consent

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company 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, such as processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for 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 company were injured and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such a case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations could 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 above legal grounds if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the 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. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

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) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

Duration for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored

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

Statutory or Contractual Requirements for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide Such Data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, it may be necessary to conclude a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. 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 providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. The employee will inform the data subject whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the contract’s conclusion, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of not providing the personal data.

Existence of Automated Decision-Making

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