and will protect your data to the best of our ability.
Please find below our statement on the processing of personal data by our company in accordance with the legal requirements, especially with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Cookies: Text files which the web server places on the user's computer by means of the browser which is used. The stored cookie information may contain both an identifier (cookie ID) for recognition purposes and content data, such as login status or information about websites visited. The browser sends the cookie information back to the web server with each new request upon subsequent repeat visits to these sites. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. Cookies can be managed using the browser functions (usually under "Options" or "Settings"). The storage of cookies may be disabled in this way or it may be made dependent on the user’s approval in any given case or otherwise restricted. Cookies may also be deleted at any time.
Personal data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Profiling: Any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
Tracking: The collection of data and their evaluation regarding the behaviour of visitors in response to our services.
All these offers are also collectively referred to as "services".
Our data protection officer can be contacted under the data given in paragraph 3, for the attention of the data privacy department or via stockfood.int@datenschutzanfrage.de.
The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract, and you are under no obligation to provide any data. We will inform you during the data entry process when personal information needs to be provided for the relevant service (e.g., by indicating 'mandatory fields'). In cases where the provision of data is required, the consequence of not providing data will be that the service in question cannot be provided. Otherwise, failure to provide data may result in our inability to provide our services in the same form and quality.
In various cases, you may also grant us your consent to the further processing of data (or some of the data, where applicable) in connection with the operations listed below. In this case, we will inform you separately in connection with the submission of the respective declaration of consent about all the procedures and the scope of the consent and about the purposes which we pursue in these processing operations. The processing operations based on your consent are therefore not listed again here (Art. 13, subs. 4, GDPR).
When we send data to third countries, i.e., countries outside the European Union, the data are then transmitted strictly in compliance with the statutory conditions of admissibility.
If the transmission of the data to a third country does not serve the purpose of fulfilling our contract with you, if we do not have your consent, if the transmission is not required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and if no other exemption applies under Art. 49 GDPR, we will only transmit your data to a third country if in possession of an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR or appropriate safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR.
One of these adequacy decisions is the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 of 12.07.2016 on the 'EU-US Privacy Shield' for the USA. The level of data protection is generally considered to be appropriate according to Art. 45 GDPR for transfers to companies which are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.
Alternatively or additionally, safeguards under Art. 46 subs. 2 c) GDPR through the conclusion of the EU standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission with the receiving body provide appropriate safeguards and an adequate level of data protection. Copies of the standard EU data protection clauses are available on the website of the European Commission at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en.
Our data processing work is carried out to a large extent with the involvement of hosting service providers who provide us with storage space and processing capacities at their data centres and who also process personal data on our behalf according to our instructions. It may be the case that personal data are transmitted to hosting service providers in respect of all of the functions listed below. These service providers process data either exclusively in the EU or subject to guaranteed levels of data protection which we have put in place based on the standard EU data protection clauses (cf. subsection c.).
We send personal information to government authorities (including law enforcement agencies) when required to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject (legal basis: Art. 6, subs. 1 c), GDPR) or when it is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (legal basis: Art. 6, subs. 1 f), GDPR).
The time specified in the "period of storage" paragraph indicates how long we use the data for the purposes in any given case. At the end of this period, the data will no longer be processed by us but will be deleted at regular intervals, unless continued processing and storage are required by law (in particular, because it is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims) or unless you grant us extended consent.
Newsletter user profile data: Opening of newsletter (date and time), contents, selected links, as well as the following information relating to the computer system accessing the newsletter: Internet Protocol address used (IP address), browser type, browser version, device type, operating system and similar technical information.
Access data: Date and time of visit to our service; the page from which the system accessed our site; pages visited during the session; session identification data (session ID), as well as the following information relating to the computer system accessing the service: Internet Protocol address used (IP address), browser type, browser version, device type, operating system and similar technical information.
The passages below set out how your personal data are processed when you access our services (e.g., loading and viewing the website, opening the mobile app and navigating within the app). We would point out, in particular, that it is impossible not to send access data to external content providers (cf. subsection b.) due to the technical processes involved in transmitting information over the Internet. The third-party providers are themselves responsible for the privacy-compliant operation of the IT systems which they use. The service providers are required to decide how long the data will be stored.
The tables below indicate how your personal data are processed when you enter prize draws or take part in promotions (e.g., events, polls, competitions).
The tables below set out how your personal data are processed when you access download services or unlock content subject to mandatory registration.
The tables below set out how your personal data are processed in connection with an existing relationship between us and you as a customer in our online shop.
The passages below explain how your personal data are processed with the help of tracking technologies to analyse and optimise our services and to serve promotional purposes.
The explanation of the tracking methods also includes information on how to prevent or object to the processing of data.
Please note that this "opt-out” request, i.e., denial of consent to processing, is usually stored via cookies. If you use our services on a new end device or in a different browser, or if you have deleted the cookies set by your browser, you will need to reconfirm the refusal of consent.
The tracking methods presented here will only process personal data in pseudonymous form. No connection is made with a specific, identified natural person, i.e., the data are not merged with information which would reveal the identity of the person behind the pseudonym.
Further information will be assigned to the pseudonyms using tracking methods and the directly transmitted information such as Cookie-IDs or (possibly truncated) IP-Addresses. This can be technical device information of the used end-device, information about the user´s behaviour, his interests and location data.
The analysis of user behaviour by means of tracking helps us to check the effectiveness of our services, to improve and adapt them to the needs of the users, and to correct errors. It also allows us to produce statistics on the use of our services (reach, intensity of use, surfing habits of users) – on the basis of uniform standard procedures – and thereby to obtain comparable figures across the market.
In cases where we provide services under a contract, the tracking and the associated analysis of user behaviour are carried out in order to fulfil our contractual obligations. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Art. 6, subs. 1 b), GDPR. The evaluation of information obtained through tracking is necessary in order to optimise the provision of services according to the contractual purpose and to ensure the greatest possible benefit for you.
Otherwise, i.e., in cases where services are not connected with a contract, the legal basis for this processing of personal data is Art. 6, subs. 1 f), GDPR. We hereby pursue the legitimate interest in providing attractive services as efficiently as possible on the basis of the information gained through tracking and marketing them in the best possible way.
We use Google Analytics to collect information regarding user behaveior in order to improve the user-friendliness of this website.
We use Google Analytics including the functions of Universal Analytics. Universal Analytics allows us to analyze the activities on our services across devices (e.g. for access via laptop and later via a tablet). This is made possible by the pseudonymous assignment of a user ID.
We have also added the code "anonymizeIP" to our Google Analytics services. This guarantees the masking (shortening of the last eight digits) of your IP address, so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The transmitted data are deleted after 26 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.
Legitimate interest You can object the processing of your personal data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following Link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
You can furthermore prevent Google Analytics from collecting data, especially when using browsers on mobile evices, by clicking this link.
With the help of Google ReCaptcha a check takes place whether an input is made by a person or an input is abusively made by automated, automatic processing.
A shortened IP-address will be processed, only in exceptional cases the full IP-address will be transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and shortened there.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing with future effect, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
You also have the right, at any time with future effect and for reasons relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6, subs. 1 e) or f), GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions.
You have the right to obtain from us the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay (Art. 16 GDPR). Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
You have the right to obtain from us the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17, subs. 1, GDPR is applicable and the processing operations are not required for one of the purposes approved in Art. 17, subs. 3, GDPR.
Under the conditions set out in Art. 20, subs. 1, GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance on our part. In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly by us to another controller where technically feasible.
