General information on the processing of personal data
Scope of processing
We only process personal data of our users if this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our offered contents and services. The processing of personal data takes place only on the basis of the currently valid legal basis.
Purposes of processing
The purposes of processing personal data are based on the conduct of HYVE AG’s business operations and all related ancillary business.
Legal basis for processing
For the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data
The provision of personal data by you may be required by law or contract or may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract.
In particular, you may be obliged to provide us with personal data for concluding contracts. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with you could not be concluded.
Disclosure of personal data
We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if
- this is necessary for the execution of an existing contractual relationship with you
- it is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of you (the data subject), which require the protection of personal data, prevail
- we are legally obliged to do so
- this is necessary for the enforcement of our claims and rights
- we receive inquiries from official bodies (e.g. supervisory authorities or law enforcement authorities if disclosure is necessary to avert threats to public safety and order and to prosecute criminal offences)
In the context of such a transfer, however, the personal data may only be used for the respective purpose.
Integration of external service providers
Like most other companies we are not specialists for everything. That is why we use service providers who support us in some areas of our business activities, e.g.
IT service provider for the maintenance of our infrastructure
IT developers in the further development of our applications
Data centers for secure operation of our services
Agencies and printers for sending e-mail information or printed information
We have concluded the legally required contracts for order processing,
which specifically specify what the service provider may do with which
data. In particular, a passing on to third parties is also excluded
here. Service providers are obliged in these contracts to comply with
the applicable data protection regulations.
Data erasure and storage time
Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data.
Data security
To protect your personal data stored with us against unauthorized access and misuse, we have taken extensive technical and organizational precautions. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to the state of the art. Our employees are obligated to maintain confidentiality.

Use of third party extensions
Like many other companies, we use third-party extensions (social media, analysis tools, marketing tools, etc.). Personal data (e.g. IP numbers, information from pseudonymised cookies, geodata, etc.) can be forwarded or automatically transferred to third party providers. The type, scope, purpose and duration of such processing of personal data may vary from case to case.
