To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy statement we use the following terms, among others:

2. capture of data
The website of Carooo collects a series of general data and information every time a person or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. It is possible to record the
a) browser types and versions used,
b) the operating system used by the accessing system,
. c) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer),
. d) the subwebsites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
e) the date and time of access to the website,
f) an Internet protocol address (IP address),
g) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
h) other data and information similar to those used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Carooo does not draw any conclusions on the person concerned. Rather, this information is required to a) to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
b) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
c) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and < br> (d) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack.
These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Carooo statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

3. 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 the failure to provide
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly 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 contract to be concluded if a data subject provides us with personal data which we must subsequently process. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

4. contactability via the website
Due to legal regulations, Carooo's website contains information that enables us to contact our company electronically and to communicate directly with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

If a data subject exercises this right of rectification, he may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.
Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Data Protection Commissioner to require the data controller to immediately disclose personal data concerning him/her, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

If the personal data have been made public by Carooo and our company, as the person responsible pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is obliged to disclose the personal data, then Carooo, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, will take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to disclose to other data processors who process the personal data disclosed;The data subject must be informed that the data subject has requested the removal of any links to such personal data or copies or replications of such personal data from those other data controllers, unless processing is necessary. The data protection officer of Carooo or another employee will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
Any person data subject to the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European regulator to require the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

The data protection officer of Carooo or another employee will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

Article 6(1)(b) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and processing is carried out by means of automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority conferred on the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data transferability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data subject has the right to have the personal data transferred directly by a data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and does not impair the rights and freedoms of other persons.

If the data subject exercises his/her right to withdraw his/her consent, he/she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

10. The legal basis of processing
Art. 6 para. 1 letter a) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves our company as a legal basis for processing procedures 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, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The same applies to such processing procedures which are necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 letter. (c) General Data Protection Regulation (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 his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information were to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Processing would then be based on Article 6(1)(d) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Processing procedures which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing procedures are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that he could assume a legitimate interest if the person concerned is a customer of the person responsible (reason 47, second sentence, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).

11. legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is in our legitimate interest to conduct our business for the welfare of all our volunteers and our members.
