The Welte GmbH in Freiburg attaches great importance to compliance with data protection regulations. The use of our internet pages is basically possible without any indication of personal data.

Personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ((hereinafter “data subject” or direct contact, e.g. “you”)Identifiable is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Affected person means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

Restriction of the processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a particular data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Art. 6 I lit. a) serves 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 for the performance of a contract to whose contracting party you are a party, as is the case for example with processing procedures which are necessary for the provision of our service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to processing processes, that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is governed by Art. 6 I lit. c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may 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 had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f) GDPR Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis, if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not prevail. Such processing procedures are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he was of the option, that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you as the person concerned are our (see also recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
Based on Article 6 I (f) of the GDPR, it is in our legitimate interest to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
After expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, unless they are no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation.
We clarify that the provision of personal data may be partly required by law (for example, by tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that you as the data subject provide us with data as the responsible party, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, you are required to provide us with personal information when our company concludes a contract with you. Failure to provide your personal information would mean that the contract could not be concluded with you.
Before you provide us with personal information, you must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to you on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what would be the consequence of the non-provision of the personal data.
