In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering any personal data.

4. 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 data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.


We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

  • Personal Data
    Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered to be identifiable if, directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special features, the expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person can be identified.

  • Affected person
    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

  • processing
    Processing is any process carried out with or without the help of automated procedures or any such series of processes in connection with personal data such as collecting, recording, organizing, organizing, storing, adapting or changing, reading out, querying, using, disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of making available, matching or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

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

  • profiling
    Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data, which consists in using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, personal Analyze or predict that natural person’s preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or relocation.

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

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

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

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

  • consent
    Consent is any expression of will voluntarily given by the data subject in an informed manner and unequivocally for the specific case in the form of a declaration or other clear confirmatory action with which the data subject indicates that they consent to the processing of their personal data is.


5. Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or 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, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter d GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(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 protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).



6. Technique

6.1 Data collection when visiting the website

If you only use our website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system access a page. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The 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 referrer),

  4. the sub-websites, which are controlled via an accessing system on our website,

  5. the date and time of access to the website,

  6. an abbreviated internet protocol address (anonymized IP address),

  7. the internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

  1. deliver the content of our website correctly,

  2. to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,

  3. to ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website as well as

  4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack.

This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us on the one hand statistically and also 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 an affected person.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.



7. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.


We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  1. you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit.

  2. this is legally permissible and required for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR,

  3. in the event that there is a legal obligation to pass on data pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and

  4. the disclosure according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is permissible to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.

This includes data exchange with SCHUFA and serves to fulfill legal obligations to carry out credit checks on customers (§ 505a and 506 of the German Civil Code).

SCHUFA processes the data received and also uses it for the purpose of profiling (scoring) in order to provide its contractual partners with information, among other things, to assess creditworthiness. For more information see  www.schufa.de/datenschutz .


8.Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser creates automatically and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not damage your end device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Information is stored in the cookie that arises in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we are immediately informed of your identity.

On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to make use of our services, it will automatically be recognized that you have already been with us and what inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize when you visit our site again that you have already been with us. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a message always appears before a new cookie is created.

9. Content of our website

9.1 Contact / contact form

When contacting us (e.g. by e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been finally processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified and provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

 

10. Our activities on social networks

So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages.

We are not the original provider (responsible person) of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective provider.

Therefore, as a precautionary measure, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use can therefore have data protection risks for you, since it can make it more difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in the social networks is often carried out directly by the provider for advertising purposes or to analyze user behavior, without this can be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is assigned directly to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here).

The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit be able. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis relates to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR.

Since we have no access to the data stocks of the providers, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. We have listed below further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) from the respective provider of social networks used by us:
