2. Lawful basis
The term 'personal data' used in data protection law refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. We process personal data in compliance with the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the GDPR and BDSG. We only process data on the basis of legal permission. We only process personal data with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR), to perform a contract to which you are a contracting party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR), to comply with a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR), or if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR).
3. Duration of storage
Unless indicated otherwise by the following information, we only store data for as long as required to fulfil the purpose of processing or to meet our contractual or statutory obligations. Such statutory retention obligations can arise in particular under commercial and tax law. From the end of the calendar year in which the data was gathered, we will store personal data contained in our accounting records for ten years and personal data contained in commercial correspondence and contracts for six years. In all other respects we will store data relating to verifiable consents and complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods. We will erase data which we process on the basis of your consent when you object to processing for this purpose.
4. Categories of data recipients
We use processors to help us process your data. Processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, email delivery, maintenance and support of IT systems, customer and order management, order processing, accounting and settlement, marketing measures, and document and data carrier destruction. A processor is a natural person or legal entity, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller responsible for data processing. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes but process the data only on behalf of us as the controller, and are contractually obliged to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that data protection is guaranteed. If applicable, we may also transmit your personal data to bodies such as the postal and delivery service, principal bank, tax / auditing company or finance administration. Other recipients may be indicated by the following information.
5. Transmission of data to third countries
Our data processing activities may involve the transmission of specific personal data to third countries, i.e. countries where the GDPR is not part of the applicable laws. Such a transmission takes place lawfully if the European Commission has found that an adequate level of data protection is ensured in such a third country. Adequacy decisions have been issued for the following countries.
For the transmission of data to the USA, the adequacy decision applies to companies that are certified under the Privacy Framework and who are included in this list.
If the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, personal data will be transmitted to a third country only if appropriate safeguards have been provided pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR or if the conditions of Art. 49 GDPR have been met.
If there is no adequacy decision and nothing to the contrary is stated below, we use the EU's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as appropriate data protection safeguards for the transmission of personal data to third countries. If you wish to receive or view a copy of these EU Standard Contractual Clauses, please contact the address provided above.
If you consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, transmission will take place on the lawful basis of Art. 49 para. 1 (a) GDPR.
6. Processing when you exercise your rights
If you exercise your rights in accordance with Arts. 15 to 22 GDPR, we will process the transmitted personal data for the purpose of implementing these rights and in order to provide proof that we have done so. Data stored for the purpose of providing and preparing information will be processed only for this purpose and for the purpose of monitoring data protection; we will restrict its processing for any other purposes.
The lawful basis for such processing is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and §34 para. 2 BDSG.

Data processing while using active365
1. Processing of personal data – overview
Personal data is defined as all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. This includes information that makes it possible to identify you directly, such as your name or photo, as well as facts that can indirectly reveal information about you, such as details of your body, impairments or complaints, information about your leisure activities, and data which you provide for quality improvement purposes while using the app.
Personal data also includes information that is provided under a pseudonym, without disclosing your name. Data protection law generally also classifies the IP address as an item of personal data. An IP address is allocated by the internet provider to each device connected to the internet so that it can send and receive data. Health data is personal data that directly or indirectly provides information about the health of a person. Such data includes information about your physical well-being / complaints or about your mental / psychological health. Health data falls into the special categories of personal data that are subject to a particularly high level of protection.
When using active365, we capture information that you yourself provide. We also automatically capture information relating to your use of the app. The following describes in detail what data related to you we process, and for what purposes.
