Identifiable is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural Person.
b) affected person Affected Person (“AP”) is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the Controller
c) processing Processing means any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures in relation to personal data, such as the collection, collection, organization, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, reading, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) limitation of processing Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

f) pseudonymization Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific AP without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural Person.
g) controller or controller The data controller or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, institution or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his appointment may be laid down in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States.
h) contractors Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data Controller.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Rights of the AP

d) Right to cancellation (right to be forgotten)

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right to require the data controller to request that the personal data concerning him/her be deleted immediately, 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.

• The AP opposes processing under Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing or the AP opposes processing under Article 21(2) GDPR.

• The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the data controller is subject.

• The processing is unlawful, the AP refuses to delete the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.

Furthermore, in exercising his right to data transferability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the AP has the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly by a data controller to another data controller, provided this is technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of other persons are not affected thereby.

The person concerned may contact an employee of 2Pi-Energy GmbH at any time to assert the right to data transferability.

g) Right of objection

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right for reasons arising from their particular situation to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them under Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

2Pi-Energy GmbH will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove compelling reasons for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the AP or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If 2Pi-Energy GmbH processes personal data in order to carry out direct advertising, the person concerned has the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If the person concerned objects to 2Pi-Energy GmbH processing for direct advertising purposes, 2Pi-Energy GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the AP has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him/her that is carried out at 2Pi-Energy GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, unless such processing is necessary to fulfil a task in the public interest.

To exercise the right of objection, the person concerned can directly contact any 2Pi-Energy GmbH employee. The AP shall also be free to exercise his right of opposition in relation to the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Any AP to the processing of personal data shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect against him or significantly affects him in a similar manner, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the AP and the data controller, or (2) is admissible under Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject and that such law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the AP, or (3) with the express consent of the AP. If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the AP and the data controller or (2) if it is made with the express consent of the AP, 2Pi-Energy GmbH shall take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the AP, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the data controller, to state his own position and to challenge the decision. If the AP wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

i) Right to revoke consent under data protection law

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the AP wishes to exercise his/her right to withdraw his/her consent, he/she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

8. Privacy policy regarding the use and application of, e.g., LinkedIn

2Pi-Energy GmbH may have integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on its website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect to existing business contacts and make new business contacts. More than 400 million registered users in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

LinkedIn is operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy matters outside the USA are the responsibility of LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time our website is accessed and equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the person concerned to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component. Further information on the LinkedIn plug-ins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins In the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn is informed which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.

If the person concerned is simultaneously logged in to LinkedIn, every time the person concerned visits our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, LinkedIn recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned visits. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the person concerned. If the person concerned clicks a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the person concerned and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the person concerned has visited our website whenever the person concerned is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the person concerned clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such a transmission of this information to LinkedIn is not desired by the person concerned, he can prevent the transmission by logging out of his LinkedIn account before calling up our website.

LinkedIn offers the possibility to unsubscribe e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads as well as to manage ad settings and cookies.

9. Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves 2Pi-Energy GmbH as a legal basis for processing operations 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 AP 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 Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing processes that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If 2Pi-Energy GmbH is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the AP or another natural person.

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, it is in our legitimate interest to conduct our business for the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

12. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data;
necessity for the conclusion of the contract;
obligation of the AP to provide the personal data;
possible consequences of failure to provide them 2Pi-Energy GmbH informs 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 an AP provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the AP could not be concluded. Prior to the provision of personal data by the AP, the AP must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the AP 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.
