Creating a training participant ac-count for participation in online training courses via our web-based e-learning platform:

Online training courses are sold outside the e-learning platform either directly by us to our cus-tomers (typically companies) or via our resellers (typically TÜV SÜD academies outside Germany). Before the training course, we receive a list of training partici-pants from the customer who has booked the training course with us (typically the participant's em-ployer), or from our reseller, so that we can set up a training par-ticipant account for them.

Every training participant receives a link from us via e-mail which takes them to their training partic-ipant account, and is required to choose a password for their ac-count when they log in for the first time.

The current status as well as the participation history in an online training course are recorded (e.g. participation start time and cur-rent progress, number of at-tempts at answering possible test questions, etc.) in order to be able to prove we have properly provided the training service and to enable the training participant to seamlessly continue a training course at a later date.

Our online courses are also partly provided via live webinars. For this purpose, each training partic-ipant in the relevant classroom receives a link to access the live webinar via Adobe Connect. To provide the live webinar function, Adobe processes the user's HTTP data and data provided voluntarily by the user in the respective live webinar on our behalf (e.g. their name or questions posed by them in the live webinar).

In the event that courses are not successfully completed within the time period booked by the cus-tomer, we provide the customer with a list of the relevant training participants.

For this purpose, we also use data that is generated through the use of the training participant account (à SectionB.II.1).

Below, you will find detailed information on your rights with regard to the processing of your personal data:

I. Right of access by the data subject

As the data subject, you have the right of access under the conditions of Article 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Specifically, this means that you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we process personal data. If that is the case, you also have the right to access this personal data and the information stated in Article 15(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation. This includes infor-mation on the purpose of processing, the categories of personal data being processed and the recipient or categories of recipients who have access or who will have access to the personal data (Article 15(1a, 1b, 1c) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

The full scope of your right of access can be found in Article 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation, which can be accessed via the following link: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679.

II. Right to rectification

As the data subject, you have the right to rectification under the conditions of Article 16 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Specifically, this means that you have the right to have any incorrect personal data that concerns you rectified by us without undue delay and to have any incomplete personal data completed.

The full scope of your right of access can be found in Article 16 of the General Data Protection Regulation, which can be accessed via the following link:http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679.

III. Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")

As the data subject, you have the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") under the conditions of Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

This means that, unless otherwise specified, you have the right to request that we erase personal data that concerns you without undue delay, and we are obliged to erase this personal data immediately, insofar as one of the reasons stated in Article 17(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation ap-plies. This may be the case, for example, if personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which is was collected or otherwise processed (Ar-ticle 17(1a) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

In the event that we have disclosed the personal data and are obliged to erase it, we are also obliged to take appropriate measures, including those of a technical nature and taking into account the available technology and costs of implementation, to inform other parties responsible for processing the disclosed personal data that you have requested that they erase all links to, or copies or replicas of, the personal data (Article 17(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

As an exception, the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not apply if processing is obligatory because of one of the reasons stated in Article 17(3) of the General Data Protection Regulation. For example, this may be the case if the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or to en-force, exercise or defend legal claims (Article 17(3a) and (3e) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

The full scope of your right to erasure can be found in Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation, which can be accessed via the following link:http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679.

IV. Right to restriction of processing

As the data subject, you have the right to restriction of processing under the conditions of Article 18 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

This means that you have the right to request that processing is restricted if one of the conditions stated in Article 18(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation is met. For example, this may be the case if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data. Processing is restricted in this case for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the personal data (Article 18(1a) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

Restriction means stored personal data is marked with the aim of restricting its future processing (Article 4(3) of the General Data Protection Regula-tion).

The full scope of your right to restriction of processing can be found in Article 18 of the General Data Protection Regulation, which can be accessed via the following link:http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679.

V. Right to data portability

As the data subject, you have the right to data portability under the conditions of Article 20 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

This means that you have the right, unless specified otherwise, to receive the relevant personal information that you have provided to us in a struc-tured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to freely convey this data to another controller, provided that the processing is based on a consent in accordance with Article 6(1a) or Article 9(2a) of the General Data Protection Regulation or on a contract in accordance with Arti-cle 6(1b) of the General Data Protection Regulation and the processing is carried out by automated means (Article 20(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

The full scope of your right to data portability can be found in Article 20 of the General Data Protection Regulation, which can be accessed via the fol-lowing link:http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679.
