Data Protection Policy – Information for visitors to our website
This policy informs you about the processing of your personal data while you are using our website.
1. The data controller according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as other data protection laws and dispositions of individual EU Member States is:
2. The data protection officer according to the GDPR and other data protection laws and dispositions is:
Mr Sebastian Feik
Dellbrückerstraße 116
This data protection policy aims to provide you, as a client or an interested party, with a detailed overview how and within which scope your personal data is collected, stored, processed, and transferred when visiting our website or using our services. Additionally, it aims to provide you with an overview of which data protection measures we use, and which options are available to you when visiting our website or using our services.
In order to continue protecting your personal data in the future, especially when adapting to new data protection regulation or technical developments, it is inevitable that we will occasionally adapt our data protection policy. We therefore advise to regularly check our information regarding data processing in order to remain up to date.
The object of protection is your personal data. In the GDPR, personal data is defined in Art. 4, 1., as data regarding an identified or identifiable natural person. It is therefore all data in relation to you (regardless of direct or indirect), such as first name, surname, address, email address, user behavior, etc. Data related to websites or online services which do not belong to us or which we do not control is not part of this data protection policy.
When and within which scope do we process personal data?
In following you will find an overview of all activities within which your personal data is processed:
2.1. For the performance of contractual services / registration
We process inventory data and contractual data to execute our contractual obligations and provide our services (Art. 6, 1., b)).
If you contact us per email or through our contact form, the information will be processed as necessary to answer your request.
2.3. Visit of our website
When you visit our website, we may use authorised cookies from service providers or other similar technology. Information is thereby sent automatically from your browser to our website’s servers. This server is then stored as so-called log-files for a short period. The information acquired through this process help us to adapt our services to the expectations of our clients as well as to improve them and their security. Additionally, they are used for advertisement purposes.
If we acquire your consent for the processing for personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6, 1., a) of the GDPR.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to execute a contract to which the data subject is a party, the legal basis is Art. 6, 1., b). This legal basis also applies for processing within the scope of pre-contractual measures.
If the processing is necessary to comply with a legal requirement, the legal basis is Art. 6, 1., c).
If the processing is necessary to comply with the legitimate interest of our company or of a third party which is not overweighed by the rights and interests of the data subject, the legal basis is Art. 6, 1., f).
The data which we store is deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer exists, as long as no legal storage obligation prevents it. If the data is not deleted because it is required for legal purposes, the processing is restricted. This means the data is locked up and will not be processed for any other purposes. This applies for example to user data which must be stored due for financial or tax law purposes. Under German law, according to § 257 Abs. 1 HGB, the storage may be required for 6 years (Commercial books, inventory, opening reports, yearly reports, commercial letters, accounting receipts…) or for 10 years (books, records, storage reports, tax relevant information…).
We implement physical, technical, and administration security measures to properly protect your data from loss, misuse, unallowed access, transfer, or modification. These security measures include firewalls, data encryption, access rights for the access to data, and we carefully select our servers’ location. We are committed to the security of our systems and services.
You are however responsible for the safety and the confidentiality of your passwords and your user account such as your registration data. It is your responsibility to verify that the personal data we process about you is accurate and current. We are not liable for the protection of personal data which is transferred to third parties on the basis of account connection you have authorised.
When do we transfer data?
Our priority is to ensure that we do not sell or rent personal data. Data is only transferred when this is inevitable, for example for the execution of a contract, or we have a legitimate interest or your consent to do so. Each of our contractual partners is chosen carefully and has an obligation to protect data according to the legal dispositions. For this reason, we conclude data processing agreements with our service providers.
There may be links on our website to third party websites, the content of which we are not responsible for and to which this data protection policy does not extend.
As soon as your personal data is processed, you are considered a data subject according to the GDPR. As such, you have the following rights owed to you by the controller (therefore, us):
