Data protection requests
All requests for the processing of your personal data or the exercise of your rights mentioned below should be sent by email, fax or post to the above address with the subject line “Data protection”.
On our website, we collect and process inventory data, e.g. names, addresses; contact data, e.g. email addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, postal addresses; usage data, e.g. the websites visited, links clicked, interest shown in contents, access times, access locations; content data, e.g. comments, text entries, photos, videos; as well as meta and communication data, e.g. device information, browser information, IP addresses.
The data subjects affected by the processing of the personal data are all visitors and users of our website.
We collect and process the personal data of the users of our website in order to communicate with them and to keep them informed, e.g. for contact requests and other inquiries, newsletters, and, if necessary, to carry out statistics, reach measurements and analyses, e.g. using marketing and analysis tools, so that we can better design and optimise our contents and features in order to technologically manage and optimise the website and to close security gaps.
We only process personal data if we are permitted to do so by law. In the following, we will name these legal bases individually. Otherwise, we are always entitled to process personal data if the data subject has given their consent (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR), if we are obliged to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), if we have to fulfil legal obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if we do so to safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
We sometimes transfer personal data to processors or other third parties, e.g. hosting agencies, etc., with whom we work. We are entitled to do so if the data subject has given their consent in this regard (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR), if we do so to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), if we do so to fulfil legal obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if we do so to safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). We conclude a so-called order processing agreement with our contract processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, whereby they also undertake to comply with the data protection requirements.
This website is hosted on the servers of 1&1 Internet SE. The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purposes of operating this website. The legal basis for the use of the hosting services is the protection of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and efficient and secure operation of our website (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).
For this purpose, our hosting provider processes personal data. The data will be stored for as long as there is a purpose in doing so. The data will then be deleted, unless this is contrary to the statutory retention obligations.
On the basis of our legitimate interests, i.e. our interest in the analysis, optimisation and efficient operation of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, we use contents or service offers from third-party providers within our website in order to integrate their contents and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “contents”).
This always requires that the third-party providers of these contents can see the users’ IP address, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to the users’ browsers. Your IP address is therefore necessary in order to display these contents. We strive to only use contents whose respective provider uses the IP address solely for the delivery of said contents. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. “Pixel tags” can be used to analyse information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, the referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of our website. It may also be linked to such information from other sources.
If data is transmitted to us from a third country because we contract a service provider there for example, then we are entitled to do so, if the data subject has given their consent in this regard (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR), if we do so to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), if we do so to fulfil legal obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if we do so to safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). A third country is any country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). When transferring data to third countries, we take care to comply with Art. 44 ff. GDPR and to observe existing EU guarantees or findings regarding an adequate level of data protection in the third country as well as the conclusion of any necessary agreements, e.g. standard contractual clauses.
All personal data that you enter on our website and send to us will be encrypted on our website in accordance with the state of the art.
Furthermore, we protect our website and associated IT systems by implementing technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or the distribution of your personal data by unauthorised persons.
On the basis of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and efficient operation of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, we collect the following data about every access to our website, i.e. so-called web server log files:
This data is only used for statistical evaluations for the purpose of running, securing and optimising the website. The data is kept for security reasons, e.g. for the clarification of fraud/misuse cases within the framework of the legal regulations. If a longer retention period is required for evidentiary purposes, the data will only be deleted once the matter has been settled.
At all times, you have the right to request information regarding your personal data stored by us or to request a copy thereof free of charge.
You have the right to have your incorrectly stored data corrected or completed (see Art. 16 GDPR).
You also have the right to restrict the processing of your data (see Article 18 GDPR) and the right to have your data deleted (see Article 17 GDPR). Your data cannot be deleted if we are obliged to continue to store the data for contract processing purposes or due to other statutory retention obligations. Instead of deleting your data, we will block it.
You also have the right to demand the data we have stored about you and to transfer it to another company or to have it transferred by us (see Art. 20 GDPR).
Furthermore, you also have the right to object to the future processing of your data (see Art. 21 GDPR).
