This includes, in particular, information about your health, as well as information revealing your political opinions or religious or philosophical beliefs (Art. 9(1) GDPR). We process these data exclusively for training services, to protect your health, social protection, or your vital interests. If we need these data for purposes other than those mentioned, we will inform you in detail before processing and subsequently obtain your explicit consent.

If necessary to fulfill the contract between us, for training services, to protect your health, social protection, or your vital interests, we may also transfer your data to third parties, such as authorities or tax advisors.

• Master data (e.g., names, addresses)
• Payment data (e.g., bank details, invoices)

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which you can assert at any time with the responsible party named in section 1 of this privacy policy:

• Right to information: You have the right to request information from us about whether and which data we process about you.
• Right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of incorrect or completion of incomplete data.
• Right to deletion: You have the right to request deletion of your data.
• Right to restriction: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we only process your data in a restricted manner.
• Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or another responsible party in a structured, common, and machine-readable format.
• Right to complain: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent authority is the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace, or our company headquarters.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time.

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you exercise your right to object, please provide reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests and rights.

Regardless of the above, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes.

Please direct your objection to the contact address of the responsible party given above.

We delete your data when we no longer need it or if you instruct us to do so. This means that—unless otherwise specified in the individual privacy notices of this privacy policy—we delete your data

• when the purpose of data processing has ceased to exist and thus the respective legal basis mentioned in the individual notices no longer applies, e.g.,
  • after termination of the contractual or membership relationship between us (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), or
  • after the loss of our legitimate interest in further processing or storing your data (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR),
• when you exercise your right of withdrawal and no other legal basis for processing under Art. 6(1)(b-f) GDPR applies,
• when you exercise your right to object and there are no overriding legitimate reasons opposing deletion.

If we must retain (parts of) your data for other purposes, such as statutory retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting documents) or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years), or if the data are needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we delete (those parts of) your data only after these periods have expired. Until then, we restrict the processing of these data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).

We also take technical and organizational security measures according to the state of the art to comply with data protection regulations and to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties.

This privacy policy is currently valid and dated June 2025. Due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to adjust this privacy policy.
