General Information: Definitions
The data privacy notice of Museen der Hasso Plattner Foundation gGmbH, DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data privacy notice should be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. In order to ensure this is the case, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms, inter alia, in this data privacy notice:

f) Controller or person responsible for controlling
Controller or person responsible for controlling 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.
g) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
h) Recipient

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.
j) Consent
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 another clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Which sources and data do we use
We process any personal data received from our customers within the scope of the business relationship/services.
Relevant personal data in the processing of interested parties when setting up the master data may be:
Personal master data (salutation, title, name, address and other contact data, date of birth, nationality)
When concluding the contract and using products/services in the product categories listed in the following, other personal data in addition to the previously cited data may be collected, processed and stored. These essentially comprise:

In the event of our vehicle parking service for people with parking permits for the disabled being used, we temporarily store the licence plate of the vehicle authorised entrance.
Why do we process your data (purpose of processing) and on what legal basis?
We process personal data in line with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz; BDSG)
a) To fulfil contractual obligations (point (b) Article 6(1) GDPR)
The data are processed to conduct business and render services (e.g. implementation of ordering processes) pursuant to our contracts with our customers, which ensue on request. The purposes of data processing are primarily aimed at the tangible product. Further details on the purpose of data processing may be found in the individual contract documents and terms and conditions of business.
b) Within the scope of the balancing of interests (point (f) Article 6(1) GDPR)
Where required, we process your data above and beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract to safeguard the legitimate interests of ourselves or third parties. This may, for example, include:
- Guarantee of the museum’s IT security and IT operation,
- Prevention/resolution of criminal offences,
- Measures for building and installation safety,
- Measures for ensuring domiciliary rights (e.g. video surveillance),
- Measures for business management and further development of services and products
- Marketing purposes (e.g. advertising or market and opinion research) or
- Assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes
c) Based on your consent (point (a) Article 6(1) GDPR)
Should you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes (e.g. data transmission, data analysis for marketing purposes, photo ID within the scope of events, newsletter dispatch), the legality of such processing is secured by your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. This also applies to declarations of consent given to us prior to the GDPR coming into force, i.e. prior to 25 May 2018. The revocation of consent applies only to the future and does not affect the legality of the data processed prior to the revocation.
d) Based on legal requirements (point (c) Article 6(1) GDPR) or in the public interest (point (e) Article 6(1) GDPR)
As a service provider, we are subject to various legal obligations, i.e. statutory requirements (e.g. commercial or fiscal law).
Who receives my data?
The people in Museen der Hasso Plattner Foundation gGmbH, DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam who receive access to your data are those requiring access to the latter to fulfil our contractual and statutory obligations. Our commissioned service providers and vicarious agents may also receive data for such purposes, should this in particular safeguard data protection. The latter are companies in the categories of payment performances, IT services, logistics, print services, telecommunications, collection agencies, consultancy as well as distribution and marketing.
With respect to data transmission to recipients outside Museen der Hasso Plattner Foundation gGmbH, DAS MINSK, it should initially be noted that we ourselves maintain secrecy regarding all customer-related facts and evaluations of which we become aware. In principle, we may only ever transmit information on our customers when required by statutory provisions, when the customer has given consent or we are authorised to disseminate. Subject to such prerequisites, recipients of personal data may be, e.g.:
Public bodies and institutions (e.g. financial authorities or law enforcement agencies) in the event of a statutory or official obligation,
Credit and finance service providing institutes or comparable institutions to which we transfer personal data for the implementation of our business relationship with you
Creditors or insolvency administrators who request such personal data within the scope of a judicial execution,
Third parties involved in the payment process (e.g. valuation-implementing service providers),
Service providers contacted by us within the scope of order processing circumstances.
Further data recipients may be those bodies for which you have granted us your consent to data transmission.
Will data be transmitted to a third country or an international organisation
Data is transmitted to bodies in countries outside the European Union (so-called non-member state), provided
it is necessary to execute your contracts (e.g. newsletter dispatch),
it is legally prescribed (e.g. fiscal reporting obligations) or
you have given us your consent.
If service providers in the non-member state are utilised, in addition to written instructions they are also obligated to comply with the European data protection standard by the standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU. Please refer to our data privacy notice for information on the data which is sent to other countries outside the EU.
How long will my data be stored?
We process and store your personal data as long as it is needed to fulfil our contractual and statutory duties.
Should the data no longer be required to fulfil contractual or statutory duties, the latter will be regularly erased, unless the – limited – further processing thereof is required for the following purposes:
Fulfilment of commercial and fiscal retention periods that may, for example, arise from the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch; HGB) or German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung; AO). The time period stipulated therein for retention or documentation is usually two to ten years.
Maintenance of evidence within the scope of the statutory limitation periods. According to Sections 195 et sq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch; BGB) such limitation periods may be up to 30 years, although the usual limitation period is 3 years.
What data protection rights do I have?
1. Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

2. Right of access
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller access at any time and free of charge to information concerning the personal data stored on himself or herself and to receive a copy of such information.

the purposes of the processing;
the categories of personal data concerned;

Should a data subject wish to assert this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee in the controller’s department at any time.
4. Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and unless processing is required:
the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

Where we have made the personal data public and our company is obliged as controller to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, we will take reasonable steps, taking account of available technology and cost of implementation, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such other controllers of all links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data, unless processing is required. Our employee will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
5. Right to restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

Should one of the above reasons apply and a data subject would like to obtain the restriction of personal data stored with us, he or she may contact an employee in the controller’s department at any time. Our employee will instigate the restriction of processing.
6. Right to data portability

In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where the rights and freedoms of other persons are not adversely affected as a result.
The data subject may contact an employee to assert the right to data portability at any time.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
We will no longer process the personal data in the event of an 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 defence of legal claims.
Where we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing.

8. Automated individual decision-making
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, where the decision
is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller;
is authorised by Union or Member State 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
is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
Where the decision
is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller; or
is based on the data subject's explicit consent, we will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including 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.
Should the data subject wish to assert any rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she may contact an employee in the controller’s department at any time.
9. Right to revoke consent under data protection law

This also applies to declarations of consent given to us prior to the GDPR coming into force, i.e. prior to 25 May 2018. Please note that the revocation applies only to the future and does not affect data processed prior to the revocation.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you is unlawful.
Do I have a duty to provide data?
Within the scope of our business relationship, you are obliged to provide those personal data required for the establishment, implementation and termination of a business relationship and to fulfil the associated contractual duties or to the collection of which we are legally bound. Without such data, we will usually not be in the position to conclude, execute and terminate a contract with you.
To what extent does automatic decision-making take place?
In principle, we do not use a fully automated decision-making system pursuant to Article 22 GDPR in order to establish and implement the business relationship. Should we use this process in individual cases, you will be separately informed of that fact and of your relevant rights, where prescribed by law.
