Document:
The following statements and information about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are intended for all our customers and for those interested in our product portfolio and/or in establishing business relations. As a company, J. Nowak Glas GmbH & Co KG, Mausegatt 3-5 in 44866 Bochum gives great priority to protecting your personal data, so that we would like to inform you about how we use and protect your personal data in our company.
Which specific data are being processed and how depends on the ordered products and on the order handling process, including necessary suppliers, trade credit insurers, banks or service providers involved in managing our data.
or to our mailing address stating “Data Protection”.
Furthermore, personal data are saved at least temporarily when you access our website www.glas-nowak.de or when you use our contact form.
3. Why do we process your data (processing purpose) and on which legal basis?
Art. 6 (1) b GDPR regulates the normal exchange of data for setting up/initiating and managing contract relationships.
As soon as we receive an enquiry from you, we create a corresponding dossier. Frequently an enquiry will be accompanied by details about commission, delivery addresses and customer data, together with the names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the staff responsible for dealing with the project. Where necessary, we revert to these master data when drawing up our quotation. Incoming orders are entered in the system and the corresponding data are used for the production process. The finished glass products are prepared for shipment and delivered/handed over on endorsement of the delivery notes. The transaction is invoiced. Incoming payments are posted against the invoices. Initially the transaction is recorded on paper and subsequently archived digitally.
All transactions refer to the order handling process and are used solely for the documentation needed under commercial law.
Mailing newsletters at irregular intervals, whereby you may opt out of such mailings.
Our interest in such processing is business-related (efficient task fulfilment, prevention of legal risks, quality control). We process your data in pseudonymous form where permitted by the specific purpose.
Art. 6 (1) a GDPR refers to transactions for which you have specifically given your consent. Your consent is the legal basis for the use named in this context (e.g. direct debit authorisation and others). You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. This also applies to declarations of consent which you may have given us before the GDPR came into effect. This also applies to consent that you may have given us in the context of completing the contact form, or in the context of payment transactions.
Art. 6 (1) c GDPR regulates the disclosure of personal data in the context of valid legislation. We are subject to these obligations in the same way as everyone else. In other words, we have to comply with the statutory requirements (e.g. German Commercial Code, tax laws). The Tax Office has the right to hold audits, and may gain insight into business transactions in the context of such audits. The data may also be relevant in the context of legal representation.
Your data will only be forwarded if this is allowed by law. Within our company, your data will be received by those who need the data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or to perform their specific tasks.
Drivers/hauliers delivering the glass, whereby the delivery notes are to be endorsed by the consignee as proof of faultless handover.
5. For how long will my data be stored?
Where necessary, we process your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes the initiation and implementation of a contract. Furthermore, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations resulting among others from the German Commercial Code and the Tax Code. The storage and documentation periods stipulated therein amount to two to ten years.
Finally, the storage period also depends on the legal statutes of limitations. As a rule these amount to three years e.g. pursuant to §§ 195 et seq. German Civil Code, but in some cases they can also amount to 30 years. The warranty period for the construction industry is usually 5 years.
6. Are data transferred to a third country or to an international organisation?
We only transfer your data to countries outside the European Economic Area insofar as this is necessary or stipulated by law in order to fulfil your orders, or you have given us your consent.
7. Which data are processed on visiting our website?
When you visit our websites, we process your personal data for various reasons, depending on whether you just use our websites for information or want to contact us.
First and foremost, our website serves a purely informational purpose. When used for purely informational purposes, in other words if you do not send us any information on our online contact form, for technical reasons we collect initially the personal data sent by your browser to our server. When you access our website www.glas-nowak.de, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website server. This information is saved temporarily in a so-called log file. The data are only analysed for statistical purposes in anonymised form.
We process these data in order to warrant a smooth connection and convenient use of our website. The data are also used to warrant and analyse the technical security and stability of our systems. These data are not processed in any other way. In particular, they are not compared with other data statuses.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR and § 15 (1) 1 Telemedia Law (TMG). Our legitimate interest consists in warranting the technical security and stability of our systems.
The above information and data are saved for maximum 7 days for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or attacks on our web server) and are then erased. Data that have to be stored for longer for purposes of proof are exempted from erasure until conclusive clarification of the incident.
The personal data collected when you access our website are not forwarded to third parties or to other bodies.
The specially marked data fields are mandatory data (name and e-mail address) which we need to answer and deal with your request. Failure to complete these data means that you will not be able to send us an enquiry with the contact form. At the same time, you click on a button to give your consent to our use of your personal data for dealing with your enquiry.
We shall only collect and use the personal data provided by you in the contact form or e-mail where necessary to process, answer and handle your contact enquiry. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) b GDPR in the context of contract initiation and possibly performance. Otherwise the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR; our legitimate interest consists in answering and handling your enquiry, which necessitates the saved data. The personal data collected by us from the contact form are erased automatically after your enquiry has been dealt with. They are fundamentally never forwarded to third parties.
The cookies store information resulting from the context of the specific device being used. However, this does not put us in direct knowledge of your identity.
We also use temporary cookies to make the website more user-friendly. These are saved on your device for a certain defined period. When you visit our website again to use our services, they recognise automatically that you visited us before and see which inputs and settings you activated so that you don’t have to do that again.
The data processed by cookies are necessary for the stated purposes to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.
Cookies are accepted automatically by most browsers. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are saved on your computer or a message appears every time before a new cookie is created. However, if you disable cookies completely, it is then possible that you will no longer be able to use all the functions of our website.
In the context of your visit to our website, we use the widespread SSL method (secure socket layer) in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. As a rule, this refers to 256 bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256 bit encryption, we will revert to 128 bit v3 technology instead. You can see whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the fact that the key or lock symbol is shown closed in the bottom status bar of your browser.
Otherwise we use suitable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from random or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised third-party access. We are constantly improving our security measures in line with technological development.
Your data are only forwarded to previously hand-picked, contractual service providers, partner companies and vicarious agents who are likewise committed to secrecy. The staff in our company receive regular training and have to give a regular undertaking to maintain data confidentiality.
10. Which other data protection rights do I have?
Under the prevailing statutory prerequisites, you have the right to information and access (Art. 15 GDPR, § 34 Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG) as amended on 25 May 2018, the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR; § 35 BDSG), to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). Moreover, you are entitled to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR, § 19 BDSG).
11. Am I under any obligation to provide data?
In the context of our business relationship, you only have to provide those items of personal data that are necessary to establish, process and conclude a business relationship, or that we have to collect by law. Without these items of data, as a rule we will not be able to conclude or fulfil an order, or we might not be in a position to fulfil an existing contract which may then have to be terminated.
12. To what extent does automated individual decision-making take place?
As a matter of principle, we do not use any kind of automated decision making pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR for establishing and processing our business relationships.
13. To what extent are my data used for profiling?
We do not process your data with the aim of analysing certain personal aspects.
14. What rights of objection do I have (Art. 21 GDPR)?
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (data processing on the basis of balancing interests), on grounds relating to your particular situation.
In case of objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
