Privacy Policy
Thank you for your interest in our company. The management of RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung attaches great importance to data protection. The use of the RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a person wishes to use special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to associate Web sites and servers with the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual’s browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung is able to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie being set.

- d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

The RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung employee will arrange for the restriction of the processing.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain the personal data concerning him or her which he or she has provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, if the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to obtain the transfer of personal data directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible and without prejudice to the rights and freedoms of the data subject pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right at any time to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung shall no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung. In addition, the data subject is free, in the context of the use of information society services, and without prejudice to Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
- h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or which similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or national law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, RAYNER Redaktion & Übersetzung will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller.
- i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Controller.
- Legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Finally, the processing could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data. In particular, we are permitted to carry out such processing operations because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the EDPS considered that a legitimate interest can be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
- Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
- Duration of storage of personal data
The criterion for the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
- Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the personal data
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to enter into a contract, and we may then need to process that data. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with the data subject. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.
- Existence of Automated Decision Making
As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision making or profiling.
