2. General information on data processing

2.1. Extent of personal data processing

We process our users’ personal data only to the extent required for providing a functional website and supplying our content and services. We process our users’ personal data regularly only if the respective users have given their consent. The only exception to this is where it is actually impossible for us to obtain prior consent and processing of the data is legally allowed.

2.2. Legal basis for processing personal data

Where we obtain the corresponding data subjects’ consent for processing their personal data, art. 6 paragraph 1 point a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Where we need to process personal data for the purposes of fulfilling a contract, and the data subject is party to the contract, art. 6 paragraph 1 point b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing necessary to accommodate preparations for entering into a contract.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for the District of Upper Bavaria to fulfill a legal obligation, art. 6 paragraph 1 point c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for protecting the vital interests of the data subject, or those of another individual, art. 6 paragraph 1 point d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary to protect the District of Upper Bavaria’s or a third party’s legitimate interests, and such interests are not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, art. 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR serves as the legal basis.

2.3. Deletion of data and data storage period

The data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it has been collected has been fulfilled. Data may remain on record beyond this period if such is specified in European or national legislation from European Union Regulations, laws or other provisions to which the District of Upper Bavaria is subject. Data will also be deleted if a storage period specified in the above standards expires unless conclusion or fulfillment of a contract requires the data to remain on record further.

3. Provision of website and creation of log files

3.1. Details and extent of data processing

Any time our website bezirk-oberbayern.de is accessed, our system automatically records data and information concerning the accessing computer.

The following data is recorded:

  • Information on the browser type and version used
  • The user’s IP address (partially anonymized)
  • Date and time of access
  • URL accessed when accessing
  • Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website
  • Websites the user’s system accesses from our website

This data is also recorded in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with any of the user’s other personal data.

3.2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for temporary recording of this data in our log files is art. 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR.

3.3. Purpose of data processing

Our system needs to temporarily record the IP address in order to provide the website to the user’s computer. This also requires that the user’s IP address remains logged throughout the session.

Recording the data in log files is necessary to ensure that the website operates correctly. The data further helps us optimize the website and ensure that our computer systems remain secure. No data is processed for marketing purposes in this context.

The above purposes also constitute our legitimate interests in data processing under art. 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR.

3.4. Data storage period

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for achieving the purpose for which it was recorded. With respect to data being recorded in order to provide the website, the data is no longer required as soon as the respective session ends.

With respect to data being recorded in log files, the data is no longer required after seven days at the latest. Data may remain on record for longer. If so, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or rendered untraceable to make identification of the accessing client impossible.

3.5. Right to object and options for avoidance

The website cannot be provided without recording the data and the operation of the site in the Internet is impossible without storing the data in log files. There is correspondingly no option for the user to object.

You are entitled to request information from the District of Upper Bavaria on whether we are processing any personal data related to yourself.

If we do, you can further request information from the District of Upper Bavaria in accordance with art. 15 GDPR regarding the following information:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data is being processed;
(2) the categories of personal data being processed;

(6) whether you are entitled to file a complaint with a supervisory authority;
(7) everything available on the data’s source if the entity you are enquiring with did not obtain it themselves;
(8) whether there was any automated decision-making and profiling as per art. 22 paragraphs 1 and 4 GDPR and—at least where such was the case—useful information on the underlying logic and the impact and pursued effects of this processing on the data subject.

You are entitled to request information on whether the personal data relating to yourself will be transmitted to a non-EU member state or international organization. You are entitled in this context to request information on suitable safeguards according to art. 46 GDPR related to the transmission.

7.2. Right to rectification

You are entitled in accordance with art. 16 GDPR to request that the District of Upper Bavaria corrects and/or completes the personal data relating to yourself if this data is incorrect or incomplete.

7.3. Right to restriction of processing

You can request limits to the processing of personal data relating to yourself in accordance with art. 18 GDPR if the following applies:

(2) processing of the data is illegal and you object to deletion of the data in favor of restricting the personal data’s use;

(4) you have objected to processing in accordance with art. 21 paragraph 1 GDPR and it has not yet been established whether the District of Upper Bavaria’s legitimate interests outweigh your own.

If processing the personal data relating to yourself has been limited, the data can without your consent be used neither to assert, exercise or defend legal claims nor to enforce protection of another individual’s or legal entity’s rights nor can it be processed in the public interest of the European Union or one of its member states.

If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be notified by the District of Upper Bavaria before any restrictions are lifted.

7.4. Right to erasure

7.4.1. Obligation to delete

You can in accordance with art. 17 GDPR request that the District of Upper Bavaria delete the personal data relating to yourself immediately; the District of Upper Bavaria is then obliged to delete the data immediately, provided one of the following conditions applies:

(1) The personal data relating to yourself is no longer required to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent, under which processing became legitimate as per art. 6 paragraph 1 point a or art. 9 paragraph 2 point a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for processing.

(6) The personal data relating to yourself has been collected in connection with the offer of information society services as per art. 8 paragraph 1 GDPR.

7.4.2. Notification of third parties

If the District of Upper Bavaria has published personal data relating to yourself and has become obliged to delete it as per art. 17 paragraph 1 GDPR, it will take action, including technical measures, using the available technology and at appropriate expense with the aim of notifying any controllers processing your personal data that you as the data subject have requested deletion of all links to said personal data or to copies or reproductions thereof.

7.4.3. Exceptions

The right to erasure becomes void if processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) to fulfill a legal obligation requiring the controller to process the data imposed upon them by European Union law or the national laws of a European Union member state, or to complete a duty in the public interest or to perform executive duties appointed to the controller;
(3) in the interests of public health and safety as per art. 9 paragraph 2 points h and i and art. 9 paragraph 3 GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes as per art. 89 paragraph 1 GDPR, provided that the right described in section a) can be reasonably assumed to prevent or seriously impede achievement of the processing purposes;
(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

7.5. Notification Obligation

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the District of Upper Bavaria, then it is under obligation to notify all recipients to whom the personal data relating to yourself has been disclosed of the corresponding rectification or erasure of data or of the restriction of their processing, except where such notification proves impossible or unreasonable.
You have the right to be informed of who these recipients are by the District of Upper Bavaria in accordance with art. 19 GPDR.

7.6. Right to data portability

In accordance with art. 20 GPDR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning yourself that you have provided to the District of Upper Bavaria in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You are also entitled to transmit this data to another controller without the District of Upper Bavaria hindering you from doing so and if

(1) you have consented to processing as per art. 6 paragraph 1 point a GDPR or art. 9 paragraph 2 point a GDPR or processing is governed by a contract as per art. 6 paragraph 1 point b GDPR and
(2) the processing occurs by automated methods.

When exercising this right, you can further request the District of Upper Bavaria to send the personal data relating to yourself directly to another controller, provided this is technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the liberties and rights of others.

The right to data portability does not extend to the processing of personal data where such processing is necessary for fulfilling a duty in the public interest or for exercising executive duties appointed to the District of Upper Bavaria.

7.7. Right to object

In accordance with art. 21 GDPR, you are entitled to object for reasons arising from your own personal situation at any time against processing of personal data relating to yourself where processing is legitimized by art. 6 paragraph 1 points e or f GDPR; this applies in equal measure to profiling legitimized by these provisions.

The district of Upper Bavaria will cease to process your personal data unless they can prove compelling legitimate reasons for processing that override your interests, rights and liberties or processing pursues the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If personal data relating to yourself is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you are entitled to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for this purpose; this applies equally to profiling where it occurs in connection with such direct advertising.

If you object to processing for direct advertising, the personal data relating to yourself will no longer be processed for this purpose.
You may, in connection with the use of information society services—Directive 2002/58/EC notwithstanding—exercise your right to object by means of automated methods that are subject to technical specifications.

7.8. Right to withdraw your consent under data protection law

In accordance with art. 7 paragraph 3 GDPR, you are entitled to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. Your withdrawing consent does not affect legitimacy of any processing that has occurred with your consent prior to withdrawal.

7.9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to any decision that entails legal implications for yourself or has similar, substantially adverse effects on yourself, if said decision is based solely on automated processing; this includes profiling. You do not have this right if the decision

(1) is necessary to allow conclusion or fulfillment of a contract between yourself and the controller,
(2) is legitimate under the legal provisions of the European Union or its member states to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions include appropriate measures safeguarding your rights, liberties and legitimate personal interests or
(3) is made with your express consent.

However, such decisions may have been made based on personal data of special categories as per art. 9 paragraph 1 GDPR unless art. 9 paragraph 2 points a or g GDPR also apply and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights, liberties and legitimate personal interests.

With respect to cases (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate precautions to protect your rights, liberties and legitimate personal interests; such precautions will include at least the right to enforce intervention by a human individual at the controller’s, to put forward your own opinion and to contest the decision.

7.10. Right to complain with a supervisory authority

If you believe that processing of personal data relating to yourself is in breach of the GDPR, you have the right in accordance with art. 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state you, your place of work or the locale of the alleged infringement are in. In this case, the right of appeal exists with the Bayerische Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz (BayLfD).

The supervisory authority receiving the complaint will keep the appellant up to date on status and results of the complaint, including on recourse to judicial remedies as per art. 78 GDPR.

 

8. Transferal of personal data to third parties

Your personal data will be transferred to Advantic Systemhaus GmbH, Gutenbergstrasse 15, 23566 Lübeck, which acts as our processor.
