This purpose is the use of our Internet portal “Mengenmeldungen online”. Only companies with contracts concluded outside the portal have access to the portal via the protected login procedure. In the portal, legal and EU-wide regulations or laws and regulations in third countries outside the EU regarding battery packaging and electrical regulations are mapped in operational terms. In some cases, personal data are collected at international level and passed on to appropriate service providers or national and international authorities, authorised bodies, ministries and lawyers (notaries) if required by national or international law. Via the portal, annual quantities planned, quantities marketed, declarations for public authorities, invoices and receipts as well as evidential items (documentations) are open to inspection. Moreover, the user can provide us with feedback on the level of satisfaction with our services. The portal has interfaces to ERP systems, i.e. software for planning corporate resources, and to authorities, their representatives and service providers. All processes in the portal can - to the extent contractually agreed with us - lead to invoicing by us, service providers or fee notices from national and international authorities, commissioned bodies or ministries. The portal informs in the internal area about time limits and additional services, such as copyright, marketability testing, ecodesign (ErP/EuP), CE, RoHS solutions and REACh. The data to be collected by us are divided into inventory data and usage data. In this context, inventory data are all data that we need from you to fulfil the purpose of the contract, such as: First name, surname, email address, residential or postal address, telephone number and other data and information necessary to fulfil the purpose of the contract. Usage data are, in particular, all data temporarily stored by us within the scope of your use of our website and Internet services. These can be: features to identify the user, information about the beginning and end as well as the extent of the respective use and information about the Internet content of our website and Internet services used by the user. In this case, the legal basis for the processing is your prior consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) 1 a) GDPR. You may revoke this consent to us at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation will continue to exist in this case. If a corresponding contract is concluded between you and us, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR.

If you register for our newsletter, the data will only be processed for the purpose of sending you our newsletter. You may revoke this consent to us at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation will continue to exist in this case.

In addition, recipients of personal data may also be third parties, such as the EAR Foundation or other authorities on the basis of contractual obligations, where the involvement of such bodies which is necessary to achieve the purpose. Transmission to third parties is also encrypted. The data are pseudonymised by us unless the data are required by such third parties in non-pseudonymised form to achieve the relevant purpose. The personal data we are provided with will only be transferred to third countries outside the EU and EEA for which the EU Commission is of the opinion that an appropriate level of data protection exists. If it is necessary to transfer the personal data communicated to us to third countries, this will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent to this end in advance. In this case, we cannot ensure an adequate level of data protection; this concerns the countries of Cyprus, Turkey, Monaco and Serbia, for instance.
The data are stored by us as long as necessary and for the shortest period possible. The duration of the data storage of the various personal data depends on the retention periods which we ourselves have to observe due to legal regulations - for example in relation to public authorities. Data are therefore generally stored for the purpose of fulfilling the specific order at least until the end of the order and at the latest within the scope of the statutory obligations imposed on us.

In the event of arbitrary disclosure of information, an appropriate fee may also be claimed on our part.
Should you determine that the data we collect are incorrect, you may request us to rectify such inaccurate personal data. The same applies to the completion of incomplete personal data if this is necessary for the purpose of processing. If we determine that personal data processed by us are incorrect, then we will also rectify them ourselves.

The same applies to the safeguarding of rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State. If you have asserted your right to restrict processing, we will inform you before the restriction is lifted again. We are obliged to inform the recipients to whom we have disclosed personal data of the rectification, erasure or restriction of processing requested by you unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We can also inform you about these recipients.
With regard to the transmission of data, you also have the right to request that the data be transmitted directly by us to the new data controller if this is technically feasible. This right may not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. The right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure.

You have the right at any time to object to the processing of personal data concerning you if the data have been processed by us for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or which was carried out in the exercise of official authority and has been transferred to us. The same applies to the processing of marketing or acquisition purposes, including the evaluation of certain behaviours of the data subject (profiling pursuant to Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR).
In this case, we may no longer process the personal data unless we can prove an imperative interest worthy of protection for the processing that overrides your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing takes place to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If you do not make such data available to us, we unfortunately cannot enter into a contractual relationship with you. In any case, however, we reserve the right to leave the contractual relationship with you unfulfilled or to terminate it at a later date due to the failure to provide the necessary data. The same applies in the event that we are legally obliged to collect personal data.
Your data will not be processed by us for automated decision-making - including the evaluation of certain behaviours of the data subject (Profiling according to Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR).
If, in future, we intend to further process the data collected for a purpose other than for which they were collected, you will receive information from us about such other purpose and we will provide you with all other relevant information regarding the storage period, your rights to information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, your right to complain as well as to data portability.

The same applies to the usage data collected by us. We have entered into a contract with our Internet provider for order data processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, on the basis of which our order processor implements the strict requirements of the GRPR.

If these log files provide us with information about the software you use and your surfing behaviour when visiting our website or using our Internet services, for example, the relevant data will be anonymised without us being able to draw any conclusions about a specific person. These anonymised data are used by us exclusively to improve our website and/or Internet services. These data will likewise be erased immediately after they have been used for their intended purpose.
If the usage data collected by us in connection with the performance of the contract or evidence thereof is stored in the legally prescribed cases, the data will be pseudonymised, i.e. it is not easily possible to assign this information to third parties without consulting additional information. If a transfer to third parties takes place, the data may be anonymised beforehand if required by law so that they can no longer be assigned to a specific person. For example, this is done for research or statistical purposes. The same applies to the use of data to improve the Internet services integrated into our website.
