WILL DATA BE TRANSFERRED TO A THIRD COUNTRY OR INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION.
The data provided will be processed by aeroPS and external service providers both within and outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Accordingly, whenever aeroPS uses or otherwise processes your personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, aeroPS may transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA, including to countries where laws provide a level of data protection that is not comparable to the level of data protection within the EEA. Such transfer will then be subject to the standard contractual clauses pursuant to EU Commission Decision 2021/914/EU or any successor version as the contractual framework for the protection of your personal data by a level of protection applicable within the EEA. You can request a version of these standard contractual clauses at support@aerops.com.

HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR DATA
Insofar as aeroPS processes and uses your personal data within the scope permitted by law or within the scope of your consent, aeroPS will only store your personal data for as long as the purposes listed above require or until you object to the use of your personal data by aeroPS (insofar as aeroPS has a legitimate interest in the use of your personal data) or until you revoke your consent (insofar as you have consented to the use of your personal data by aeroPS). However, if a longer storage of your personal data by aeroPS is mandatory by law, aeroPS will process your personal data until the expiration of the corresponding retention period.
For security reasons (for example, to investigate acts of abuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted (see above "Where we get your data and what data we use"). Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.

To exercise these rights, please feel free to contact us directly using the contact details above (see section "Who we are" above).

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA UNDER ARTICLE 21 DSGVO.
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1e) DSGVO (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6(1f) DSGVO (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests).
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

USE OF COOKIES
We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files, usually consisting of letters and numbers, which are placed on the user's computer when visiting certain Internet pages.
These cookies are essential for the functioning of our website.
By default, we only use necessary cookies. Necessary cookies enable the core functionalities of our website. The website cannot be displayed properly without these cookies or individual areas may not function properly. Necessary cookies can only be prevented by appropriate settings in your browser.
We do not use cookies that are not necessary for the website to function ("non-essential cookies").

SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS
We use social media plug-ins of the social networks Facebook and Instagram on our website on the basis of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The underlying promotional purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the DSGVO. The responsibility for data protection compliant operation is to be ensured by their respective providers. The integration of these plug-ins by us takes place by way of the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website as best as possible.

Facebook
Social media plug-ins from Facebook are used on our website to make their use more personal. For this purpose, we use the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button. This is an offer from Facebook.
When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and demand-oriented design of the Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook.
If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
