All information and explanations on the subject of data protection must be easy to read and to understand by all persons. However, as we do not get along without any legal terminology in this document, here are the explanations of the main terms, as they are found in Article 4 of the GDPR:

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘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 to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is being processed.

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

Profiling means 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Pseudonymisation means 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, 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.

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

Third party means 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 authorised to process personal data.

Consent of the data subject means 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.

Personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

Genetic data means personal data relating to the inherited or acquired genetic characteristics of a natural person which give unique information about the physiology or the health of that natural person and which result, in particular, from an analysis of a biological sample from the natural person in question.

Biometric data means personal data resulting from specific technical processing relating to the physical, physiological or behavioural characteristics of a natural person, which allow or confirm the unique identification of that natural person, such as facial images or dactyloscopic data.

Data concerning health means personal data related to the physical or mental health of a natural person, including the provision of health care services, which reveal information about his or her health status.

The Auxilium complies with article 5 of the GDPR, in particular with paragraph c data minimisation. As a matter of principle, we only collect and use the personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website, as well as our content and services.

The Auxilium uses Article 6 of the GDPR as the legal basis for the data processing. This means that the Auxilium only processes personal data if one of the following aspects is given:

Personal data of a data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is no longer necessary. In addition, storage may be carried out if required by law, such as e.g. legal storage periods.

Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfilment of the contract.

If the Auxilium processes your personal data, as the person affected, regarding Auxilium, you have the following rights:

According to the GDPR, every data subject has the right at any time to obtain information from the data controller about the personal data stored about him/her, such as:

According to Article 17 GDPR, every data subject has the “right to be forgotten”, meaning he may require the controller to delete the personal data concerning him/her without delay. The responsible person is obliged to delete personal data immediately, if one of the following reasons applies and no legal retention periods preclude it:

According to Article 18 of the GDPR, each data subject has the right to require the person responsible to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions applies:

According to Article 20 of the GDPR, every data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him/her, which he/she has provided to a controller, in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format; and he/she has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller by whom the personal data has been provided, as long as the following issues are fulfilled:

For reasons arising out of their particular situation, according to Article 21 of the GDPR, each data subject has at any time the right to object to the processing of personal data relating to him/her under Article 6 (1) (e) or (f). This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller no longer processes the personal data unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, pursuing or defending legal claims.

According to Article 22 of the GDPR, any data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has a legal effect on it or, in a similar manner, significantly affects it. This does not apply, if:

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time. You can thus revoke a granted consent to the Auxilium at any time and without stating reasons. However, the revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out up until the revocation.

All rights listed here can be asserted in writing to our data protection officer. The contact details can be found under point 2 of this privacy policy.
Please understand that we reserve the right to demand further proof of your identity as the person actually affected.

For questions and complaints about data protection, please contact our data protection officer first.
In addition, you have the right to contact the relevant Data Protection Supervisory Authority for the Auxilium at any time:
