General remarks

Protecting your personal data is of the utmost importance to us. In the following, we would therefore like to inform you in detail about what data we collect when you visit our internet pages and use our offers there, how we process or utilize this data afterwards and what your rights are with respect to these issues.

We use your personal data, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, solely according to the applicable data protection legislation, in other words the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-new) and the German Teleservices Act (TMG).

 

I. Definition of terms

Our privacy statement uses the terms of the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU (GDPR), which we would like to briefly explain to you for a better understanding. This and further definitions of terms can be found in art. 4 GDPR.

 

a) Personal data
„Personal data“ comprises all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (referred to below as „person affected“); ´identifiable´ applies to a natural person that can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by being associated with an identification feature such as a name, with an identification number, with location data, with an online identification or with one or several special features which are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.

 

b) Person affected
„Person affected“ refers to every identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the responsible entity for the processing.

 

c) Processing
„Processing“ refers to every operation carried out with or without the help of automated procedures or every such set of operations in connection with personal data such as the collection, acquisition,  organization,  sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, the reading, retrieving, use, revelation through transmission, distribution or another form of provision, the comparison or linking, the limitation, deletion or elimination.

 

d) Limitation of processing
„Limitation of processing“ refers to the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

 

e) Pseudonymization
„Pseudonymization“ is the processing of personal data in a manner that ensures that the personal data can no longer be associated with a particular person affected without drawing on additional information, provided that additional information is stored separately and subject to technical and organizational measures which guarantee that the personal data is not associated with an identified or identifiable natural person.

 

f) Responsible entity
„Responsible entity“ refers to the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity that, either alone or together with others, decides about the purposes and means of processing personal data; if the purposes and means of this processing are determined by laws of the European Union or the law of the member states, the responsible entity or the specific criteria for its nomination may be designated by Union law or the law of the member states.

 

g) Order processor
„Order processor“ refers to a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity that processes personal data on behalf of the responsible entity.

 

h) Recipient
„Recipient“ is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity to whom personal data is disclosed, irrespective of whether or not it is a third party. 2 Authorities that might receive personal data as part of a specific inquiry based on Union law or the law of the member states are, however, not considered recipients; the processing of this data by the aforesaid authorities is conducted on the basis of the applicable data protection legislation in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

 

i) Third parties
„Third parties“ refers to a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity other than the person affected, the responsible entity, the order processor and the persons that are authorized to process the personal data under the immediate responsibility of the responsible entity or the order processor.

 

j) Consent
„Consent“ of the person affected  means every statement of intent given voluntarily and in an informed and unambiguous manner relating to a certain case in the form of a declaration or any other explicit affirmative action that clearly indicates the consent of the person affected to the processing of their personal data.

 

II. Nature of the personal data collected / Purposes of processing

The personal data processed by us includes title, name, first name, a valid email address, address and telephone numbers – in other words all personal information we need to enable us to supply our contractual services to you. We collect this data to be able to identify you as our customer, to appropriately process your customer order, to correspond with you, to invoice you, to settle claims that might arise, and to enforce claims that might exist against you. Failure to communicate personal data (with the exception of telephone numbers) results in your order not being processed. A refusal on your part to tell us your telephone number restricts our options of communicating with you.

The processing of data is effected following your inquiry and is required according to art. 6, para.1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purposes mentioned in order to process your inquiry or order appropriately and to ensure that obligations resulting from the contract are met by both parties.

We do not engage in automated decision-making (in particular profiling).

We might pass on the data to our partners such as suppliers, data hosts, external consultants (accounting, tax advisers) etc., if we make use of their services to fulfill our contractual obligations towards you. The data thus passed on must only be used by third parties for the purposes mentioned.

The personal data processed by us within the framework of the contractual relationship is stored pending due execution of the contract including the legal deadlines for warranty claims and subsequently deleted, unless we are legally obliged to storage of the data for a longer period according to article 6 paragraph 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR with respect to storage times defined in tax and commercial or other legislation (e.g. as defined in the German Commercial Code, the Criminal Code or the Revenue Code) or unless you have agreed to storage of your data exceeding this according to art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.
