1. Responsibility

The companies of the Rentschler Group "Rentschler Biopharma SE", "Rentschler Biopharma Inc." and "Rentschler ATMP Ltd." jointly operate this website. The processing of data within the scope of the website, as described in this data protection notice, takes place in different process sections and systems, which are primarily operated by Rentschler Biopharma SE. However, the processing is carried out for jointly pursued purposes, namely the promotional activities and public relations work of the companies of the Rentschler Group. Unless otherwise specified in the context of the respective processing, the companies of the Rentschler Group jointly determine the purpose and means of the processing and therefore qualify as joint controllers pursuant to Art. 26. para. 1 sentence 1 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They are therefore jointly responsible for the protection of personal data. Within the scope of their joint responsibility under data protection law, the controllers have agreed which of them fulfills which obligations under the GDPR. This relates in particular to the exercise of the rights of the data subjects and the fulfillment of the information obligations pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR. Rentschler Biopharma SE shall make the information required under Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR available to the data subjects free of charge in a precise, transparent, comprehensible and easily accessible form in clear and simple language. The other controllers shall provide it with all necessary information from their sphere of activity. The data controllers shall inform each other without delay about legal positions asserted by data subjects. They shall provide each other with all information necessary to respond to requests for information. Data protection rights can be asserted with Rentschler Biopharma SE, although assertion with the other data controllers is not excluded. Data subjects will generally receive the information from Rentschler Biopharma SE.

2. Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

4. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible parties are subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

5. Recipients of data

If we nevertheless transfer your data to third parties or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is also done exclusively on the basis of a legal basis mentioned at the beginning.

We use service providers in certain cases when processing your data. Should data be passed on within the scope of such commissioned processing, this will be done on the basis of Art. 28 DSGVO.

When selecting our service providers and partners, we rely on European partners wherever possible if your personal data is to be processed. Data transfers to a third country only take place if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DSGVO are fulfilled. The processing of your data may therefore only take place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the so-called "standard contractual clauses" or in individual cases, your consent. If the data is transferred to the USA or another country where there is no equivalent level of data protection, we would like to point out that there is a theoretical risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, without you possibly having any legal remedies.

6. Oligation to provide

An obligation to provide data may be required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). For example, you are obliged to provide us with personal data if you conclude a contract with us. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract not being concluded.
