Our company data protection officer can be reached at the above address or under datenschutz (at) bertschinnovation.com.
The legal basis for data processing is Art.6 (1) lit.f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you as a person.
If you have any questions, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide your name, a valid e-mail address and the specific request so that we know who the request is from and in order to be able to respond to it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.
The personal data collected for the use of the contact form by us will be deleted after the request you have made has been completed, unless another basis of legitimacy (e.g. a specific order) entitles further processing.
Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art.6 paragraph 1 lit.b GDPR on the basis of your specific request.
On our website you can subscribe to a free e-mail newsletter. When you sign up for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.
If you hire us to provide services and store your e-mail address, it can subsequently be used by us to send a newsletter. In such a case, only direct mail for similar products or services will be sent via the newsletter.
In connection with the data processing for the sending of newsletters, the data is not passed on to third parties. The data will only be used to send the newsletter.
The purpose of collecting the user’s e-mail address is to deliver the e-mail newsletter. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process is intended to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of its collection. The user’s e-mail address is therefore stored as long as the newsletter is subscribed to or unless unsubscribed.
The other personal data collected as part of the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.
The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the affected user at any time. To this end, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. This also allows for a revocation of the consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the registration process.
The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is provided if the user has given its consent (Art.6 paragraph 1 lit.a GDPR). The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Article 6 (1) lit. f in conjunction with Section 7 (3) of the UWG.
The newsletter is sent via “MailChimp,” a newsletter delivery platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in the context of these notices, are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp says that MailChimp can use this data to optimize or improve its own services, for example to technically optimize the shiftwork and presentation of the newsletters or for economic purposes, in order to determine from which Countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to pass it on to third parties.
To sign up for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address.
As an option, we ask you to provide your first and last name. This information is only used to personalize the newsletter. We also ask you to provide your date of birth, gender and industry as an option. We use this information only to adapt the contents of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.
The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon,” i.e. a pixel-sized file, which is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, will be collected first.  This information is used for the technical improvement of the services on the basis of technical data or target groups and their reading behavior on the basis of their retrieval points (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times.
Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters will open, when they will open and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our ambition nor that of MailChimp to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. Resist their consents. At the same time, your consents in its shipping via MailChimp and the statistical analyses will be extinguished.  A separate revocation of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical evaluation is unfortunately not possible.
A link to the cancellation of the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter.
In accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will apply from 25 May 2018, we inform you that the consent to the sending of e-mail addresses on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. A, 7 GDPR and § 7 (2) (3), or paragraph 3 UWG. The use of the mail order service provider MailChimp, the conduct of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration procedure, are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our interest is directed towards the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets the expectations of users.
