SynSpace - Privacy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of SynSpace Group GmbH. A use of the internet pages of SynSpace Group GmbH is basically possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a person concerned would like to use special services of our company via our internet page, a processing of personal data could be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the basic data protection regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to SynSpace Group GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, this data protection declaration informs the persons concerned about their rights.
SynSpace Group GmbH, as the person responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Name and address of the person responsible for data processing
SynSpace Group GmbH
Basler Landstrasse 8
Phone: +49 761 4764565
website: www.synspace.com
Every person concerned can contact our company directly at any time with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection.
The internet pages of SynSpace Group GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files, which are filed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called Cookie-ID. A Cookie-ID is a unique identification of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign Internet pages and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the Internet pages and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies SynSpace Group GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services which would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
By means of a cookie the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the Internet browser used, thereby permanently opposing the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it is possible that not all functions of our website can be fully used.
The website of SynSpace Group GmbH collects a series of general data and information with every call of the website by a person concerned or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information which serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information SynSpace Group GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. This information is rather required in order to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website as well as (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the case of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically evaluated by SynSpace Group GmbH on the one hand and also with the goal of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the party responsible for data processing by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the party responsible for data processing is determined by the input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored solely for internal use by the party responsible for data processing and for his or her own purposes. The party responsible for data processing may arrange for the personal data to be transferred to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, which shall also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the party responsible for data processing.
Furthermore, by registering on the party’s responsible for data processing website, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are stored. The storage of this data is carried out against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the clarification of criminal offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the person responsible for processing. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the passing on of the data serves criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject under voluntary disclosure of personal data serves the purpose of the party responsible for data processing to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the party responsible for data processing.
The party responsible for data processing shall at any time upon request provide any data subject with information as to which personal data relating to the data subject are stored. Furthermore, the party responsible for data processing shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notification of the data subject, unless this is contrary to any legal obligation to retain data. The entire staff of the party responsible for data processing is available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
On the website of SynSpace Group GmbH the users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. Which personal data will be transmitted to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.
SynSpace Group GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals about offers of the company by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can basically only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address first registered by a data subject for newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address, as the data subject, has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the person responsible for processing.
The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as could be the case if there are changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the person concerned has given us for the newsletter service, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking this consent, a corresponding link can be found in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the party responsible for data processing or to inform the party responsible for data processing in another way.
The newsletters of SynSpace Group GmbH contain so-called counting pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic which is embedded in such e-mails which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded pixel-code, SynSpace Group GmbH can recognize if and when an e-mail was opened by a person concerned and which links contained in the e-mail were accessed by the person concerned.
Such personal data collected via the embedded tracking pixels in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the party responsible for data processing in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the party responsible for data processing. A cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter is automatically interpreted by SynSpace Group GmbH as a revocation.
7. Possibility of contact via the website
Due to legal regulations, the website of SynSpace Group GmbH contains information which enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as a direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the party responsible for data processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted by a data subject to the party responsible for data processing on a voluntary basis are stored for the purposes of processing or for contacting the data subject. Such personal data shall not be disclosed to third parties.
The party responsible for data processing shall process and store personal data relating to the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the party responsible for data processing is subject.
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the party responsible for data processing confirmation as to whether personal data relating to him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the party responsible for data processing.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain at any time and free of charge from the party responsible for data processing information on personal data relating to him/her and a copy thereof. The European Data Protection Supervisor has also granted the data subject access to the following information:
the existence of a right of rectification or erasure of personal data relating to him or her or of a restriction on processing by the party responsible for data processing or a right to object to such processing
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling in accordance with Article 22 (1) and (4) General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter GDPR) and, at least in these cases, meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the party responsible for data processing
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the party responsible for data processing.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain from the party responsible for data processing the immediate erasure of personal data relating to him/her, if one of the following reasons applies and provided that the processing is not necessary:
the data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject lodges an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject lodges an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The deletion of the personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the party responsible for data processing is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 paragraph 1 GDPR.
If one of the above mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by SynSpace Group GmbH, he/she can contact an employee of the party responsible for data processing at any time. The employee of SynSpace Group GmbH will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately.
If the personal data have been made public by SynSpace Group GmbH and our company as the responsible person is obliged to delete the personal data according to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, SynSpace Group GmbH will take appropriate measures, also of a technical nature, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other data processing managers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested from these other data processing managers the deletion of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, as far as the processing is not necessary. The employee of SynSpace Group GmbH will arrange the necessary in individual cases.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain from the party responsible for data processing the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:
the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period of time sufficient to enable the party responsible for data processing to verify the accuracy of the personal data
The party responsible for data processing no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The data subject has lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the party responsible for data processing outweigh those of the data subject.
If one of the above-mentioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at SynSpace Group GmbH, he/she can contact an employee of the party responsible for data processing at any time. The employee of SynSpace Group GmbH will arrange for the restriction of the processing.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to receive the personal data concerning him/her which have been made available to a party responsible for data processing by the data subject in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He/she also has the right to have this data communicated to another party responsible for data processing without hindrance by the party responsible for data processing to whom the personal data has been made available, provided that the processing is based on the consent pursuant to Art. 6, paragraph 1, letter a of the GDPR or Art. 9, paragraph 2, letter a of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6, paragraph 1, letter b of the GDPR and that the processing is carried out by means of automated procedures, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the party responsible for data processing.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data transfer pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to obtain that personal data be transferred directly from one party responsible for data processing to another party responsible for data processing, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
In order to assert the right to data transferability the person concerned can contact an employee of SynSpace Group GmbH at any time.
Every person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, SynSpace Group GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If SynSpace Group GmbH processes personal data in order to carry out direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling, as far as it is related to such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to SynSpace Group GmbH to the processing for the purpose of direct advertising, SynSpace Group GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out at SynSpace Group GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.

The data subject is also free to exercise his/her right of objection in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures involving technical specifications.
h) Automated case-by-case decisions including profiling
Every person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him/her or significantly affects him/her in a similar way, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the party responsible for data processing, or (2) is authorised by Union or national legislation to which the party responsible for data processing is subject and such legislation provides for adequate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the party responsible for data processing or (2) is taken with the express consent of the data subject, SynSpace Group GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the party responsible for data processing, to put forward its point of view and to challenge the decision.

The processing may also be carried out by electronic means. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the party responsible for data processing electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the data party responsible for data processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in accordance with the statutory provisions. If the party responsible for data processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the party responsible for data processing conflict with deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG).
11. Privacy policy on the use of Facebook
The data party responsible for data processing has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
Each time the party responsible for data processing calls up one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the party responsible for data processing and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins is available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook is informed which specific page of our website is visited by the person concerned.
If the person concerned is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting each time the person concerned calls up our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the person concerned. If the person concerned clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the person concerned makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the person concerned and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time when he or she accesses our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.
12. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The party responsible for data processing uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is shortened and made anonymous by Google if our Internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state that is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us which show the activities on our website and to provide further services in connection with the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the party responsible for data processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website and to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. To do so, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the Browser-Add-On is considered by Google as contradiction. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the Browser Add-On in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the Browser Add-On is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person within their sphere of control, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the Browser Add-On.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
13. Privacy policy on the use of Google Remarketing
The party responsible for data processing has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertising to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and thus to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other Internet sites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.
By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the person concerned, is stored. Whenever our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
14. Privacy policy on the use of Google+
The party responsible for data processing has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space.

The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time the party responsible for data processing accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data party responsible for data processing and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a display of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google is informed which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged on to Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective visit to our website. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the person concerned.
If the data subject clicks on one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus submits a Google+1 recommendation, Google will assign this information to the data subject's personal Google+ user account and store this personal data. Google will store the data subject's Google+1 recommendation and make it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website will subsequently be stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in that account, in other Google services, such as Google search engine results, the data subject's Google Account or other places, such as on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimizing the various services provided by Google.
Google will always receive information via the Google+ button that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is logged in to Google+ at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the person concerned clicks on the Google+ button or not.
If the data subject does not wish personal data to be transmitted to Google, he or she can prevent such transmission by logging out of his or her Google+ account before accessing our website.

17. Privacy policy on the use and application of Twitter
The party responsible for data processing has integrated Twitter components on this website. Twitter is a multilingual publicly accessible microblogging service where users can post and distribute so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 140 characters. These short messages can be accessed by anyone, including people who are not registered with Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow the tweets of a user. Furthermore, Twitter enables the addressing of a broad audience via hashtags, links or retweets.
Twitter is operated by Twitter, Inc. 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the party responsible for data processing and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a display of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter.

The party responsible for data processing has integrated YouTube components into this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips for free and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, but also music videos, trailers or videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.
YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time the data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the party responsible for data processing and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube.

20. Legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as a 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 which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which makes it necessary to process personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, 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 the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the party responsible for data processing (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
21. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the party responsible for data processing or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
22. Duration for which personal data are stored
30. Legal or contractual provisions relating to the provision of the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
31. Existence of automated decision making
By using this website, the user agrees to these terms.
