Legal bases of the processing of personal data

In the following we would like to inform you about the legal bases of the processing of personal data:

  1. If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
  2. If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter b) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
  3. If the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory storage obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
  4. If the processing is necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
  5. If the processing is necessary to protect our interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail in this respect, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
 

Passing on personal data to third parties and contracted processors

In general we do not pass on your personal data without your consent to third parties. Should this be the case, however, the transfer of data will take place on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when data is passed on to online payment providers for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to surrender the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.

We also use contract processors (external service providers e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors within the framework of an agreement for order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO. We select our processors carefully, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken suitable technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG and DS-GVO.

Data transmission in non-EU-member countries

By the adoption of the European data protection basic regulation (DS-GVO) a uniform basis for data protection in Europe was created. Your data is therefore processed primarily by companies to which the DS-GVO applies. If, however, processing is carried out by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must comply with the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DS-GVO. This means that the processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission’s officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”. In the case of U.S. companies, submission to the so-called “privacy shield”, the data protection agreement between the EU and the U.S., fulfils these requirements.

Deletion of data and storage period

If not expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the consent given for processing is revoked by you or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless its further storage is required for evidence purposes or this is opposed by statutory storage obligations. This includes, for example, commercial storage obligations for business letters according to § 257 para. 1 HGB (6 years) and tax storage obligations according to § 147 para. 1 AO of receipts (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless the storage is still necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Existence of an automated decision making

We do not use automatic decision making or profiling.

  2. This data serves the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and contents as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation.
  3. The legal basis for this is our justified interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which is also based on the above-mentioned purposes.
  4. For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for the storage period of 14 days. After this period has elapsed, they are automatically deleted, unless we need to keep them for evidence in case of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.

Cookie Consent Solutions / Consent Manager Provider

  1. We have implemented the CookieBot (service provider: Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39,
    1058 Copenhagen, Denmark / Website: https://www.cookiebot.com) as consent management service.
  2. Data categories and description of data processing: cookies, date and time of visit, device information, browser information, anonymized IP address, opt-in and opt-out data. Through this service we can obtain your consent to the storage of cookies and also document this. In addition, a cookie is stored in your browser to enable us to assign the consent you have given or to revoke it. Below you will find further information in the data protection declaration of the data processor Cybot A/S: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy.
  3. Purposes of data processing: compliance with legal obligations, storage of consent.
  4. Legal basis: The legal basis for the processing of personal data is our legitimate interest in the above-mentioned purposes in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO and the fulfilment of legal obligations in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) DS-GVO.
  5. Storage duration: Storage of the data until you delete the CookieBot-Cookie in your browser yourself or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies. The revocation document of a previously granted consent is kept for a period of three years. The storage is based on our accountability according to article 5 paragraph 2 DSGVO.
  6. Data transmission/recipient category: The consent management service we use is a provider in Europe. We have therefore concluded a contract for order processing with the data processor in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO.
 

Processing of contracts

  1. We process inventory data (e.g. company, title/academic degree, names and addresses as well as contact data of users, email), contract data (e.g. services used, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations (knowing who is the contractual partner; justification, content and processing of the contract; checking the plausibility of the data) and services (e.g. contacting customer service) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit b) DS-GVO. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.
  2. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims (e.g. transfer to a lawyer for collection) or to fulfill the contract (e.g. transfer of the data to payment providers) or if there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) DS-GVO.
  3. We may also process the data you provide in order to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you emails with technical information.
  4. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. This is the case for the inventory and contract data when the data is no longer necessary for the execution of the contract and no more claims can be asserted under the contract because they are time-barred (warranty: two years / standard limitation period: three years). We are obliged by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, if the contract is terminated after three years, we will restrict processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. Details in the user account remain until it is deleted.
 

Contact via contact form / email / fax / mail

  1. If you contact us by contact form, fax, post or email, your data will be processed for the purpose of processing your contact request.
  2. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO, if you have given your consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of a contact inquiry or email, letter or fax is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 letter f) DS-GVO. The person responsible has a legitimate interest in the processing and storage of the data in order to be able to respond to user inquiries, to secure evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, to be able to comply with his or her legal obligations to retain business letters. If the purpose of the contact is the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GVO.
  3. We may store your information and contact request in our customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or similar system.
  4. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation ends when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. Inquiries from users who have an account or a contract with us will be stored for a period of two years after termination of the contract. In the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry: end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation.
  5. You have the option of withdrawing your consent to the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO at any time. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.
 

Contact by phone

  1. When contacting us by phone, your phone number will be processed and temporarily stored or displayed in the RAM / cache of the phone device / display for the purpose of processing the contact request and its handling. The storage is done for liability and security reasons to be able to prove the call and for economic reasons to enable a call back. In case of unauthorized advertising calls, we block the phone numbers.
  2. The legal basis for the processing of the telephone number is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. If the aim of the contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DS-GVO.
  3. The device cache stores the calls for days and successively overwrites or deletes old data. When the device is disposed of, all data is deleted and the memory is destroyed if necessary. Blocked phone numbers are checked annually to see if they need to be blocked.
  4. You can prevent the phone number from being displayed by calling with the phone number suppressed.
 

Newsletter

  1. You can subscribe to our newsletter with your voluntary consent by entering your email address. Only this is mandatory. The provision of further data is voluntary and only serves the purpose of a personal contact. We use the so-called “double opt-in procedure” for registration. After you have registered with your email address, you will receive an email from us to confirm your registration with a confirmation link. If you click this confirmation link, your email will be added to the newsletter distribution list and stored for the purpose of sending emails. If you do not click on the confirmation link within hours, your registration data will be blocked and automatically deleted after days.
  2. In addition, we log your IP address used during registration and the date and time of the double opt-in (registration and confirmation). The purpose of this storage is to fulfill legal requirements regarding proof of your registration and to prevent misuse of your email.
  3. Within the scope of your declaration of consent, the contents (e.g. advertised products/services, offers, advertising and topics) of the newsletter are described in concrete terms.
  4. We evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this purpose, the newsletters contain so-called “web beacons” or “tracking pixels”, which are called up when the newsletter is opened. For the analysis we link the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is collected pseudonymously, so the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. With this data we can determine if and when you opened the newsletter and which links in the newsletter were clicked. This serves the purpose of optimizing and statistically evaluating our newsletter.
  5. The legal basis for sending the newsletter, measuring success and storing the email is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO in conjunction with § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG and for the recording of consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, as this serves our legitimate interest of legal provability.
  6. You can object to the tracking at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter. In this case, however, the receipt of the newsletter would also be terminated. If you deactivate the display of images in your email software, tracking is also not possible. However, this may have limitations with regard to the functions of the newsletter and contained images will not be displayed.
  7. You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time. You can exercise the revocation by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter, sending an email or sending a message to our contact details above. We store your data as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, your data will only be stored anonymously for statistical purposes.
