Protecting our users’ personal data is an important concern for Walker McGuire.
We explain below how and why we and our third-party service providers process personal data in connection with your use of the Site.
(d) contribute to a blog or forum.
This may include your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, age, date of birth.
3. All such personal information is collected, stored and processed by us, affiliated BMG Companies and our third-party service providers for the purposes set out in section B below.
(a) to provide access to our Site and services.
(g) to allow you to take part in contests and similar promotions and to administer those activities (which may contain additional requirements and information about how we or our third-party service providers may use your personal information).
2. The above processing activities are based on Article 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR. It represents our legitimate interests to improve your website experience and to optimize our services and products and to use our Site for marketing purposes. It is in our mutual legitimate interest to respond to your enquiries and requests. If you subscribed to our newsletter, any processing related to sending you newsletters or provide you with information about our products is based on the consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR) you gave separately when subscribing to the newsletter. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the link provided in each of our newsletters. Such withdrawal will only be effective for future processing of data.
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you newsletters by e-mail if you confirm in our notification e-mail by clicking on a link that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided. If you confirm your e-mail address, we will store your e-mail address, the time of registration and the IP address used for registration until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The sole purpose of the storage is to send you the newsletters and to be able to prove your registration. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. A corresponding unsubscribe link can be found in every newsletter. A message to the contact data given below or in the newsletter (e.g. by e-mail or letter) is of course also sufficient. The legal basis of the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR.
In our newsletters we use commercially established technologies, enabling us to measure interactions with the newsletters (e.g. opening of the e-mail, clicked links). We use this data in pseudonymous form for general statistical evaluations as well as for the optimisation and further development of our content and customer communication. This data is collected using small graphics embedded in the newsletter (so-called pixels), which can also collect Technical Data regarding the device you use. The data is collected exclusively pseudonymised and is not linked to your other personal data. The legal basis for this is our aforementioned legitimate interest, Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR [The legal basis of the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR]. Through our newsletter we want to share content that is as relevant as possible for our customers and better understand what readers are actually interested in. If you do not wish the analysis of usage behaviour, you can unsubscribe from our newsletter or deactivate graphics in your e-mail program by default. The data on the interaction with our newsletters is stored pseudonymously for 30 days and subsequently made completely anonymous.
• any third party with whom you communicate on or through the Site (e.g. via message boards, chats, profile pages, blogs and other services to which you are able to post information and materials), but only to the extent that your personal information is included by you in such communication.
(c) As far as transfer to above mentioned recipients is required for any of the purposes mentioned in Section B, the transfer of data is based on our legitimate interests as specified in Section B or on your consent. This includes our interest to host the Website for informational and marketing purposes and to improve our services and products.
(d) We disclose your personal data to any person where necessary: (i) under any applicable laws or regulations of any jurisdiction of the EU or any member state for any purposes required by such person under those laws or regulations, Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR; (ii) to enforce or apply our Site’s terms and conditions or other contracts, Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR; and/or (iii) to protect our, our users’ or any other third parties’ rights, property or safety, Art. 6 sec. 1 lit d and f GDPR.
(e) We anonymize your personal data, as it is in our legitimate interest to use aggregated, non-personal information to analyse our target audience and web traffic. We may publish, or share with affiliates and/or business partners, aggregated non-personal data, which will not identify you individually.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via online or mobile networks is not completely secure. You acknowledge and accept that others may intercept personal information you provide to us, and that any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we use set procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
We strive to keep our processing activities with respect to your personal data as limited as possible. Personal data provided by you upon using our services (Service Data as described in Section A.1.) will be retained only for as long as we need it to fulfil the purpose for which we have collected it or as long as required by statutory retention requirements. Technical Data (as described in Section A.2.) will be retained only as long as it is necessary to provide access to our site. The IP-Address will be retained for 7 days to enable us to engage in effective defense against attacks on our site, i.e. DDOS attacks. However, we may retain Technical Data as long as certain marketing purposes require. In no event will we retain your Technical Data longer than 35 days, provided storage of data is not required by statutory retention requirements, as may be the case regarding data that is relevant for obligations under tax and commercial law.
Furthermore you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data privacy supervisory authorities.
