This privacy policy is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the EU General Data Protection Regulation. To ensure clarity and comprehensibility, the most important terms are explained below.

a) Personal Data
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”).

Processing means any operation carried out on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, alignment, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing means marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling is any automated processing of personal data used to analyse or predict personal aspects such as work performance, economic situation, health, preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, or location.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data so that it cannot be attributed to a specific person without additional information kept separately and protected by technical and organisational measures.

g) Controller
The controller is the natural or legal person who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

h) Processor
A processor is a party that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
A recipient is any person or organisation to whom personal data is disclosed, excluding authorities receiving data in the context of statutory investigations.
