SCOPE OF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only after consent of the user. An exception is made in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) b 2 DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6(1)(d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

DATA DELETION AND STORAGE PERIOD

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. In addition, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data is collected:

(1) Information about the type of browser and the version used
(2) The operating system of the user
(3) The Internet service provider of the user
(4) The IP address of the user
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
(7) Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website

The data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

PURPOSE OF THE DATA PROCESSING

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in the data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

RETENTION PERIOD

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND REMOVAL

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND REMOVAL

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to obtain the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract acc. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO is based and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be impaired by this. The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

RIGHT OF OBJECTION

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

RIGHT TO REVOKE THE DECLARATION OF CONSENT UNDER DATA PROTECTION LAW

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent at any time. The revocation shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

AUTOMATED DECISION IN INDIVIDUAL CASES INCLUDING PROFILING

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision;

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorised by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or
(3) is done with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests. With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms of, and the legitimate interests of, the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

RIGHT TO COMPLAIN TO A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR. The responsible supervisory authority for our company can be found here:

DATA SECURITY

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities. Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted. However, we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible. In order to secure your data, we maintain technical and organizational security assumptions, which we constantly adapt to the state of the art.

DISCLOSURE OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES, DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

In principle, we only use your personal data within our company. If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (such as logistics service providers) or to respond to your pre-contractual inquiries, they will receive personal data only to the extent that the transmission is necessary for the corresponding service. In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing (“commissioned processing”), we contractually oblige commissioned processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. A data transfer to third countries, which are not a gem. Article 45 of the GDPR does not take place and is not planned. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If the processing aims at the conclusion of a contract/pre-contractual measure, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

DATA FROM UNSOLICITED APPLICATIONS AND GENERAL APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Personal data from applications are temporarily stored for the purpose of processing the procedure. In the event of employment, the data will be added to the personnel file and further stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship. If the applicant is not employed, the personal data provided will be deleted two months after it has been sent (unsolicited application) or two months after the end of the application procedure, unless the legitimate interests of the person responsible conflict with this procedure.

If the applicant objects to this procedure, the transmitted data will be deleted immediately, unless the processing is still necessary due to a legal obligation. His application can then not be considered in case of deletion of the data. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If the application aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

Due to further technical development and/or changes in legal and/or official requirements, it may become necessary to adapt this data protection information. The current version is always available on this page.
