DATENSCHUTZ

 

 

Data transfer to third countries
The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore predominantly processed by companies to which DS-GVO applies. If, however, processing is carried out by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these must meet the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DS-GVO. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or the observance of 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., fulfills these requirements.

Deletion of data and storage period
Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as you revoke the consent given for processing or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies or the data are no longer required for the purpose, unless their continued storage is necessary for evidence purposes or is contrary to statutory storage obligations. This includes, for example, retention obligations under commercial law for business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (6 years) and retention obligations under tax law for receipts in accordance with Section 147 (1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) (10 years). If 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 automated decision making
We do not use automated decision making or profiling.

Processing of contracts
1. we process inventory data (e.g. company, title/academic degree, names and addresses as well as contact data of users, e-mail), 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 (knowledge of who is a contractual partner; justification, content and execution of the contract; checking the plausibility of the data) and services (e.g. contacting customer service) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit b) DS-GVO. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract. 2.
2. these data will not be disclosed to third parties, unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims (eg transfer to lawyer for collection) or for the performance of the contract (eg transfer of data to payment providers) or there is a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6 para 1 sentence 1 lit c) DS-GVO.

This is the case for inventory and contract data when the data is no longer required for the performance of the contract and claims can no longer 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, we restrict processing after three years if the contract is terminated, i.e. your data is only used to comply with legal obligations.

Legal bases are Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) and f) DS-GVO.

5. the data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of their collection or the execution of the contract, because the contract has been terminated. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Newsletter
1. you can subscribe to our newsletter with your voluntary consent by entering your e-mail address. Only this is mandatory. The provision of further data is voluntary and serves only the purpose of a personal address. We use the so-called "double opt-in procedure" for registration. After your registration with your e-mail, you will receive an e-mail from us with a confirmation link to confirm your registration. If you click on this confirmation link, your e-mail will be added to the newsletter distribution list and stored for the purpose of sending e-mails. If you do not click on the confirmation link within 24 hours, your registration data will be blocked and automatically deleted after 30 days.
In addition, we log your IP address used during registration as well as the date and time of the double opt-in (registration and confirmation). The purpose of this storage is the fulfillment of legal requirements regarding the proof of your registration as well as the prevention of abuse regarding your email.
3. in the context of your declaration of consent, the contents (e.g. advertised products/services, offers, advertising and topics) of the newsletter are described in detail.
4. we use the following dispatch service provider for e-mail dispatch:
Blogger.com (Germany), whose privacy policy can be found here . We have concluded an order processing agreement with the service provider in accordance with Art. 28 of the German Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO).
When sending the newsletter, we evaluate your user behavior. For this purpose, the newsletters contain so-called "web beacons" or "tracking pixels", which are called up when the newsletter is opened. For the analyses, we link the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, and direct personal reference is excluded. With this data, we can determine whether and when you have opened the newsletter and which links in the newsletter have been clicked. This serves the purpose of optimizing and statistically evaluating our newsletter.
The legal basis for sending the newsletter, measuring its success and storing the e-mail is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO in conjunction with Section 7 (2) No. 3 UWG and for the logging of consent Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, as this serves our legitimate interest of legal provability.
You can object to the tracking at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter. In that case, however, the newsletter receipt would also be terminated. If you deactivate the display of images in your e-mail software, tracking is also not possible. However, this may have restrictions regarding the functions of the newsletter and included images will then not be displayed.
8. you can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time. You can exercise the revocation by pressing the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter, an email or 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.
9. we use the Google service reCaptcha to determine whether a human or a computer makes a certain input in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following data to check whether you are a human or a computer: IP address of the terminal device used, the website you visit with us on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks that require you to identify images. The legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our side in this data processing to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated entries (attacks).
