This privacy policy informs you about the collection of personal data when using this website.
1.
We take the protection of your data very seriously.
With this privacy policy, we inform you what information we collect and how and for what purposes it is processed. We will also inform you of your rights.
NOTE: If you send us personal data by e-mail, i.e. away from our website, we cannot guarantee secure transmission and therefore no protection of your data. We therefore recommend that you never send personal data unencrypted by e-mail. For this reason, you are also free to provide us with personal data in alternative ways, such as by telephone.
We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
We always handle your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
2nd
If you have any questions or other concerns, you can contact our responsible body at any time, as long as we have not appointed a data protection officer. In this case, please contact them directly.
The person responsible is: top.legal GmbH (hereinafter: “top.legal”), Trogerst 19, 81675 Munich represented by the managing director Mr. Alexander Baron, e-mail: support@top.legal
3rd
The legal basis for the use of personal data is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 of the GDPR. This shows that the processing of personal data is lawful if:
a) The consent of the person concerned has been obtained,
b) it to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, or
c) to fulfill a legal obligation, or
d) to protect vital interests, or
e) to perform a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, or
f) is necessary due to a balance of interests
The legal basis under Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) GDPR is therefore to enable the error-free and secure operation of our website by collecting web server log files.
NOTE: The web server is the computer on which the website is stored. Log files (i.e. log files) are text files that automatically log your Internet history and save it on your web server.

4.1
Our website collects and stores a range of general data and information with each visit. This general data and information is stored on our web server in web server log files.
The following can be recorded:
(1) browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites, which 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) other similar data and information used to avert risks in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
4.2
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. The information is much more needed to
(1) to correctly deliver the content of our website,
(2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
(3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
(4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack
This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from the personal data you provide.
5th
In our privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:
5.1
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
5.2
Personal data is any information that allows conclusions to be drawn about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). Information about personal or factual circumstances includes: name, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address. The person can be identified if you can be identified directly or indirectly (e.g. via identification numbers or location data) on the basis of the information.
5.3
Processing is any process carried out with or without the aid of automated processes or any such series of processes in connection with personal data, such as collection, collection, organization, organization, organization, organization, ordering, storage, adjustment or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure through transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
5.4
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or changes of location of that natural person.
6th
We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this has been provided for by the European legislator of directives and regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the person responsible for processing is subject.
If the storage purpose or the consent given for processing ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator of directives and regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.
7th
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. To do this, it is sufficient to send an informal message by e-mail to the data protection officer or to the responsible body of our company (see § 2). The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
8th
8.1
You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed. If you wish to exercise this right of confirmation, you can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.
8.2
You have the right to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and a copy of this information, as well as the right to correct, block or delete your data.
8.3
You also have the right to restrict processing and to object to processing.
8.4
You also have the right to have your data, which we process automatically, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. To assert your rights, please contact us using the contact details given above for the responsible body.
8.5
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (https://www.lda.bayern.de/).
8.6
You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
To exercise the right to object, you can contact our data protection officer or another employee directly. In connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you are also free to exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
8.7
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which has legal effect against you or significantly affects you in a similar way, provided that the decision.
(1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the person responsible, or
(2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the person responsible is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or
(3) is carried out with the express consent of the person concerned.
Is the decision
(1) required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the person responsible, or
(2) If it is carried out with the express consent of the data subject, we take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which includes at least the right to obtain a person's intervention on the part of the person responsible, to state his own point of view and to challenge the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.
8.8
You have the right to receive the data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability in accordance with Article 20 (1) GDPR, you have the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one person responsible to another person responsible, as far as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are information that is transferred from our web server or third-party web servers to your browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies can be small files or other types of information storage. Cookies store information that is generated in connection with the specific device used. Cookies contain a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again. A cookie also contains information about its origin and the storage period. However, this does not mean that we are immediately aware of your identity.
On the one hand, we use so-called session cookies, which are only stored for the duration of the respective visit to our website. A randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. Session cookies are automatically deleted after you leave our website.
We also use temporary cookies, which we store on your device for a specific period of time (so-called first-party cookies). If you visit our site again, it will automatically recognize that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
We also use cookies for other purposes, such as web analysis. These cookies are also automatically deleted after a defined period of time. This use is explained in more detail below.
You can prevent cookies from being set by making appropriate settings in your browser. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser you are using, you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.
You can object to the use of cookies, which are used for audience measurement and advertising purposes, via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and in addition the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
10th
It is possible to register on our website.
The personal data you enter will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use and for your own purposes. The person responsible for processing can arrange for the transfer to one or more contract processors, who also use the personal data exclusively for internal use.
By registering on the website, your Internet service provider (ISP) also stores your IP address, the date and time of registration. This data is stored on the basis that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, make it possible to investigate committed crimes. In this respect, it is necessary to store this data for security purposes. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to transfer it or the transfer is for law enforcement purposes.
Registration with voluntary provision of personal data enables us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to amend the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the database of the person responsible for processing.
You can obtain information about your personal data from the responsible body at any time. Furthermore, the responsible body will correct or delete your personal data at the request or notice of the person concerned, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all of the employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
11th
We use web analysis tools on our website.
If you want
As part of the web analysis, data about the behavior of visitors (such as age or gender) is collected, which is then calculated as key performance indicators (KPIs). On the basis of these key figures, information (such as interests or demographic trends) of visitors is analyzed in order to filter weak points on the website and to be able to sustainably improve the efficiency of the website. Web analysis is therefore primarily used to monitor the long-term success of a website.
In most cases, cookies or similar processes are used to collect such information. The data collected includes, for example, the browser used, the duration of the visit or the content viewed. The collected and stored data also includes your IP address. However, this is shortened for your protection and is therefore pseudonomized. This means that the actual identity of us or the respective web analysis provider cannot be traced, but only the pseudonomized data provided.
As already described above, you can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by setting the Internet browser you are using and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent a cookie from being set on your information technology system. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
We use the following web analysis tools:

Cookies or similar processes are used to collect such information. The data collected includes, for example, the browser used, the duration of the visit or the content viewed. The collected and stored data also includes your IP address. However, this is shortened for your protection and is therefore pseudonomized.
