Privacy Policy

Stand: 11.06.2024

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. The use of the Internet pages is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations that apply to us. 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 collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of 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 data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms in this privacy policy, among others:

a) personal data

    • Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) betroffene Person

    • Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

      • Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by au
      tomated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination; the restriction, deletion or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

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

e) Profiling

    • Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

    • Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person werden.

g) Controller or controller

    • The controller or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law<>.

h) Processor

    • Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Empfänger

    • The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

j) Dritter

    • Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

k) Consent

    Consent means any freely and unambiguously informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

Cookies / SessionStorage / LocalStorage

Some of the websites use so-called cookies, LocalStorage and SessionStorage. This serves to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Local Storage and SessionStorage is a technology that allows your browser to store data on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. You can prevent the use of cookies, LocalStorage and SessionStorage by setting them in your browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, users of this website can provide more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

A cookie can be used to optimise the information and offers on our website in the interests of the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it may not be possible to fully use all functions of our website.

Collection of general data and information

The website collects a series of general data and information every time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us statistically on the one hand and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data that is transmitted to the controller can be found in the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, which will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the data subject, the date and time of registration is also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to solve crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or if the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, voluntarily providing personal data, serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registrants are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data of the controller.

The controller shall provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller corrects or deletes personal data at the request or notification of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations. All the employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data provided on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Comment function in the blog on the website

We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal run on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more people, who are called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, information on the time of comment entry and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published in addition to the comments left by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content by submitting a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the Controller’s own interest, so that he could exculpate himself in the event of a violation of the law. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the legal defence of the controller.

Gravatar

For comments, Auttomatic’s Gravatar service is used. Gravatar compares your email address and – if you are registered there – displays your avatar picture next to the comment. If you are not registered, no picture will be displayed. It should be noted that all registered WordPress users are automatically registered with Gravatar. Gravatar details: https://de.gravatar.com

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

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

  • If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 Ilit. a GDPR serves as a legal basis for our company for processing operations where 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 data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 Ilit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Ilit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 Ilit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 Ilit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 Ilit. f GDPR is our legitimate interest in conducting our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

Legal or contractual requirements governing the provision of the personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; Possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
