Privacy Policy munich-startup.de

1. Definitions

Following the example of Art.4 GDPR, this data protection declaration is based on the following definitions:

“Personal data” (Article 4 (1) GDPR) is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A person is identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or with the help of information about their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity characteristics. Identifiability can also be achieved by linking such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photos, video or sound recordings can also contain personal data).

"Process" (Article 4 (2) GDPR) is any operation in which personal data is handled, whether with or without the aid of automated (i.e., technology-based) procedures. This includes, in particular, the collection (i.e., acquisition), recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, comparison, linking, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data, as well as the change of a purpose or objective on which data processing was originally based.

“Responsible body” (Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR) is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

“Third” (Article 4 No. 10 GDPR) is any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor; this also includes other legal entities belonging to the group.

“Processor” (Article 4 No. 8 GDPR) is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with its instructions (e.g., IT service providers). In the sense of data protection law, a processor is not a third party.

"Consent" (Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR) 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 a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.
