DATA PROTECTION
Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of AREA Management GmbH. The AREA Management GmbH website can be used without providing any personal data. However, any person concerned if a data subject wishes to make use of our company’s special services via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.
The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, email address or telephone number of any person concerned, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to AREA Management GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, persons concerned are informed about their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, AREA Management GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by telephone.

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in a way in which the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that guarantee that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or an identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or person responsible for the processing
The controller or the person responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

However, authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation according to Union law or the law of the member states are not considered recipients.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the person responsible, the processor and the persons who are authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the person responsible or the processor.
