Data transfers to a third country or international organisation
Third party countries are defined as countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable law. This basically includes all countries outside the EU or European Economic Area.
Where the transfer of data to a third country or international organisation occurs, it must be ensured that the appropriate/adequate guarantees are in place and that you have enforceable rights and valid legal recourse.
A copy of the appropriate guarantees can be found at the following links:
Standard contractual clauses: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2010:039:0005:0018:EN:PDF
We adhere to the principles of data minimisation and data avoidance. This means that we store your data provided to us only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the aforementioned purposes or as required under the terms of the statutory data retention periods. If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or the relevant statutory retention deadline expires, your data will be blocked or deleted on a routine basis, in accordance with the current legal regulations.
We have created an internal concept to ensure this procedure.
If you contact us via email or telephone, you hereby agree to electronic communication. When you contact us, personal data is collected. The information you provide will be stored solely for the purpose of processing your request and for any follow-up enquiries.
Please note the legal bases for the aforementioned is as follows:
We use software to manage customer data (CRM system or comparable software) based on our legitimate interests (efficient, fast processing of customer enquires).
We would like to point out that emails can be read or altered without authorisation or detection on the transmission path. Furthermore, we would also like to point out that we use software for filtering unwanted emails (spam filter). The spam filter may divert your emails to the spam folder if they have been erroneously identified as spam due to certain characteristics.
You have the right to obtain information about the data stored on your person free of charge. Upon request, we will inform you in writing regarding what personal data we have stored, in accordance with current legal regulations. This also includes the source and recipients of your data, as well as the purpose of processing the data.
You have the right to demand that data on your person stored by us be corrected in the event it is inaccurate. You can also request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, e.g. while challenging the accuracy of your personal data.
Furthermore, you can have your data blocked. In order to ensure that your data is blocked at all times, this data must be kept in a lock file for monitoring purposes.
You can also demand the deletion of your personal data, provided there is no legal obligation for the data to be stored. In the event that such an obligation applies, we will restrict the processing of your data upon request. Once the relevant legal requirements have been met, we will delete your personal data without any further requests from you to do so.
You have the right to demand that we provide the data on your person transmitted to us in a format that can be transferred to another location.
f) Right to make a complaint to a regulatory authority
You are entitled to file a complaint with one of the data protection regulatory authorities.
You have the right to object any further use of your data for internal purposes at any time. For this, sending an email to info@minox.com stating your right to object should suffice. However, such revocation does not affect the legality of the processing operations carried out by us prior to objection. The data processing with respect to all other legal bases, such as for contract initiation (see above) also remain unaffected.
We implement contractual, organisational and technical security measures, using the latest technology, to ensure that the requirements under data protection laws are met and to protect the data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised parties.
The security measures include the encrypted transfer of data between your browser and our server. To ensure this, we use a 128-bit SSL (AES 128) encryption technique. This includes your IP address.
