Data protection

With the fol­lo­wing we wish to inform you about how we pro­cess your per­so­nal data and the claims and rights to which you are ent­it­led under the data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons. This pri­va­cy poli­cy exp­lains to you the natu­re, scope and pur­po­se of the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data wit­hin our web­site (her­einaf­ter refer­red to as “web­site”). This pri­va­cy poli­cy app­lies regard­less of the domains and devices used (e.g. desk­top, mobi­le, etc.). Per­so­nal data are all data that are per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fia­ble to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail addres­ses, user beha­vi­or. Which data is pro­ces­sed in detail and how it is used depends lar­ge­ly on the ser­vices used.

2. What sources and data do we use?

We pro­cess per­so­nal data that we recei­ve from you as part of your use of our web­site and, if app­li­ca­ble, our busi­ness rela­ti­ons­hip.
For pure­ly infor­ma­tio­nal use of the web­site, i.e. if you do not regis­ter or other­wi­se pro­vi­de us with infor­ma­ti­on, we only collect the per­so­nal data that your brow­ser trans­mits to our ser­ver. When you visit our web­site, we collect the fol­lo­wing access data, which are tech­ni­cal­ly necessa­ry for us to dis­play our web­site to you and to ensu­re sta­bi­li­ty and secu­ri­ty. The access data inclu­des the IP address, date and time of the request, time zone dif­fe­rence to Green­wich Mean Time (GMT), con­tent of the request (i.e. name of the spe­ci­fi­cal­ly acces­sed web­site), access status/HTTP sta­tus code, data volu­me trans­mit­ted in each case, refer­rer URL (pre­vious­ly visi­ted page), brow­ser type and ver­si­on, ope­ra­ting sys­tem and its inter­face, lan­guage and ver­si­on of the brow­ser soft­ware, noti­fi­ca­ti­on of suc­cess­ful retrie­val.
Fur­ther­mo­re, we recei­ve your per­so­nal data if you con­tact us via con­tact form or e-mail. In this case for ins­tan­ce, per­so­nal data con­sists of name, address, e-mail, tele­pho­ne num­ber, posi­ti­on, com­pa­ny (her­einaf­ter refer­red to as “con­tact data”).

3. Why do we process your data (purpose of the processing) and on what legal basis do we do so?

We pro­cess per­so­nal data in accord­ance with the pro­vi­si­ons of the Euro­pean Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­ti­on (GDPR) and the Ger­man Federal Data Pro­tec­tion Act (BDSG) for the fol­lo­wing pur­po­ses and on the basis of the fol­lo­wing sta­tu­tes:

Purpose

Legal basis

If you have given us your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data for cer­tain pur­po­ses, in par­ti­cu­lar the esta­blish­ment of con­tact (e.g. via our con­tact form or via e-mail for pro­ces­sing and hand­ling the inqui­ry), the lega­li­ty of this pro­ces­sing is given on the basis of your con­sent. Con­sent may be revo­ked at any time. Plea­se note that the revo­ca­ti­on will only take effect for the future. Pro­ces­sing that took place befo­re the revo­ca­ti­on is not affec­ted by this.

Con­sent, Art. 6 Sec. 1a GDPR

When con­tac­ting us (via con­tact form or e-mail), your details will be pro­ces­sed in addi­ti­on to any con­sent given for pro­ces­sing the con­tact enqui­ry and its pro­ces­sing, also on the basis of the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res, Art. 6 Sec. 1b GDPR.

Exe­cu­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res upon request of the per­son, Art. 6 Sec. 1b GDPR

We pro­cess your access data (see above under point 2) to pro­tect our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests or tho­se of third par­ties. In par­ti­cu­lar, we pur­sue the fol­lo­wing legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests:

Ensu­ring IT secu­ri­ty, in par­ti­cu­lar that of the web­site;

Adver­ti­sing or mar­ket rese­arch and opi­ni­on pol­ling, to the extent that you have not objec­ted to the use of your data;

Asser­ti­on of legal claims and defen­se in legal dis­pu­tes;

In the con­text of weig­hing up inte­rests in order to safe­guard legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests, Art. 6 Sec. 1f GDPR

4. Who receives my data?

Wit­hin the com­pa­ny, tho­se depart­ments will have access to your data that they requi­re to ful­fil our con­trac­tu­al and legal obli­ga­ti­ons.
Pro­ces­sors used by us (Art. 28 GDPR) may also recei­ve data for the above-men­tio­ned pur­po­ses. The­se are com­pa­nies in the cate­go­ries IT ser­vices, logistics, prin­ting ser­vices, tele­com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, con­sul­ting and sales and mar­ke­ting. If we use con­tract pro­ces­sors to pro­vi­de our ser­vices, we take appro­pria­te legal pre­cau­ti­ons as well as appro­pria­te tech­ni­cal and orga­ni­za­tio­nal mea­su­res to ensu­re the pro­tec­tion of per­so­nal data in accord­ance with the rele­vant legal regu­la­ti­ons.
Data will only be pas­sed on to third par­ties wit­hin the frame­work of legal requi­re­ments. We only pass on user data to third par­ties if this is necessa­ry, e.g. on the basis of Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. b. GDPR for con­trac­tu­al pur­po­ses or on the basis of legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests pur­suant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR to an eco­no­mic and effec­tive ope­ra­ti­on of our busi­ness or you have con­sen­ted to the data trans­fer. In the pure­ly infor­ma­tio­nal use of the web­site, we do not pass on any data to third par­ties.

5. How long will my data be stored?

For secu­ri­ty rea­sons (e.g. to inves­ti­ga­te misu­se or fraud), log file infor­ma­ti­on is stored for a maxi­mum of 4 weeks and then dele­ted (see point 2 above). Data who­se fur­t­her sto­ra­ge is requi­red for evi­den­tia­ry pur­po­ses are exclu­ded from dele­ti­on until the respec­tive inci­dent has been ulti­mate­ly cla­ri­fied.
If necessa­ry, we pro­cess and store your per­so­nal data for the dura­ti­on of our busi­ness rela­ti­ons­hip, which also inclu­des, for examp­le, the initia­ti­on and pro­ces­sing of a con­tract with a con­tact form or by e-mail.
In addi­ti­on, we are sub­ject to various sto­ra­ge and docu­men­ta­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons, which result, among other things, from the Ger­man Com­mer­ci­al Code (HGB) and the Tax Code (AO). The peri­ods for sto­ra­ge and docu­men­ta­ti­on spe­ci­fied the­re ran­ge from two to ten years.
In the end, the sto­ra­ge peri­od is also asses­sed accord­ing to the sta­tu­to­ry limi­ta­ti­on peri­ods, which, for examp­le, accord­ing to §§ 195 ff. of the Ger­man Civil Code (BGB) may as a rule be 3 years, but in cer­tain cases also up to thir­ty years, wher­e­by the regu­lar sta­tu­te of limi­ta­ti­ons is 3 years.

6. Will data be transferred to a third country or an international organization?

The data pro­vi­ded will be pro­ces­sed wit­hin the Euro­pean Uni­on and in the USA. Plea­se note that for reci­pi­ents of your data in coun­tries without a ade­quacy reso­lu­ti­on veri­fied by the Com­mis­si­on under Arti­cle 45 GDPR, as is the case with the US, we eit­her ensu­re that they are cer­ti­fied under the EU-US Pri­va­cy Shield (such as Goog­le) or have agreed EU stan­dard data pro­tec­tion clau­ses with the­se reci­pi­ents. This is in order to pro­tect your data and to achie­ve an appro­pria­te level of pro­tec­tion for your per­so­nal data. You have the opti­on of obtai­ning or viewing copies of the EU stan­dard data pro­tec­tion clau­ses. If requi­red, plea­se con­tact us using the con­tact details given above under point 1.

7. What data protection rights do I have?

Every per­son effec­ted has the right to
• Infor­ma­ti­on as per Art. 15 GDPR
• Rec­tifi­ca­ti­on as per Art. 16 GDPR
• Dele­ti­on as per Art. 17 GDPR
• Restric­tion of the pro­ces­sing as per Art. 18 GDPR as well as
• Data por­ta­bi­li­ty from Art. 20 GDPR.

Fur­ther­mo­re, you may revo­ke con­sent, effec­tive for the future.
Bey­ond that, the­re is a right to appeal to a data pro­tec­tion super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty (Art. 77 GDPR in con­junc­tion with § 19 BDSG).
In addi­ti­on, we would like to draw atten­ti­on to your right to object as per Art. 21 GDPR:

Infor­ma­ti­on about your right to object as per Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object at any time for rea­sons ari­sing from your par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning you under Arti­cle 6(1)(e) GDPR (Data Pro­ces­sing in the Public Inte­rest) and Arti­cle 6(1)(f) of the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­ti­on (Data Pro­ces­sing on the basis of a balan­ce of inte­rests), inclu­ding pro­filing based on this pro­vi­si­on in terms of Arti­cle 4(4) GDPR, which we use for ques­ti­onn­aire eva­lua­ti­on or for pro­mo­tio­nal pur­po­ses.

If you object, we will no lon­ger pro­cess your per­so­nal data, unless we can pro­ve com­pel­ling rea­sons worthy of pro­tec­tion for the pro­ces­sing, which out­weigh your inte­rests, rights and free­doms, or the pro­ces­sing ser­ves to assert, exer­cise or defend legal claims.

In indi­vi­du­al cases we pro­cess your per­so­nal data for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses. You have the right to object at any time to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning you for the pur­po­se of such adver­ti­sing; this also app­lies to pro­filing, inso­far as it is asso­cia­ted with such direct adver­ti­sing. If you object to the pro­ces­sing for direct adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses, we will no lon­ger pro­cess your per­so­nal data for the­se pur­po­ses.

The objec­tion can be made form-free and the­re are no other costs than the trans­mis­si­on costs accord­ing to the basic tariffs.

If pos­si­ble, the objec­tion must be sent to:
