Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we only collect and use personal data from you insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of your personal data regularly only takes place with your consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
The security of your personal data is a high priority for us. We therefore protect your data stored with us by technical and organisational measures in order to effectively prevent loss or misuse by third parties. In particular, our employees who process personal data are bound to data secrecy and must comply with it. To protect your personal data, it is transmitted in encrypted form; for example, we use SSL=Secure Socket Layer for communication via your Internet browser. You can recognise this by the lock symbol that your browser displays when an SSL connection is established. In order to ensure the permanent protection of your data, the technical security measures are regularly checked and, if necessary, adapted to the state of the art. These principles also apply to companies that process and use data on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.
Purposes of processing and legal basis
We collect, process and use your personal data for the following purposes:
l Establishment and performance of contractual relationships;
l Marketing measures;
l Customer satisfaction surveys and analyses;
l Service evaluations;
l Customer service and customer support;
The processing of your personal data may be based on the following legal grounds:
Consent – This is where we have asked you to provide explicit permission to process your data for a particular purpose.
Contract – This is where we process your information to fulfil a contractual arrangement, we have made with you.
Answering your business enquiries – This is where we process your information to reply to your messages, e-mails, posts, calls, etc.
Legitimate Interests – This is where we rely on our interests as a reason for processing, generally this is to provide you with the best products and service in the most secure and appropriate way. . Of course, before relying on any of those legitimate interests we balance them against your interests and make sure they are compelling enough and will not cause any unwarranted harm.
Legal Obligation – This is where we have a statutory or other legal obligation to process the information, such as for the investigation of crime.
Vital interests – This is where we process your information for communications about security, privacy and performance improvements of our services. Or for establishing, exercising or defending our legal rights.
Duration of storage and routine deletion of personal data
We process and store your personal data only for the period of time required to fulfil the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for, in laws or regulations. After the purpose has ceased to exist or has been fulfilled, your personal data will be deleted or blocked.
In the case of blocking, deletion will take place as soon as legal, statutory or contractual retention periods do not conflict with this, there is no reason to assume that deletion would impair your interests worthy of protection and deletion would not cause a disproportionately high expense due to the special nature of the storage.
Collection of general data and information, so-called log files
If you visit our website for information purposes only, without providing personal data via registration or in any other way, only the Internet connection data that your browser transmits to our server will be processed. Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call, which is temporarily stored in log files of a server. A log file is created in the course of an automatic protocol of the processing computer system. The following can be recorded:
l Access to the website (date, time and frequency)
l How you arrived at the website (previous page, hyperlink etc.)
l Amount of data sent
l Which browser and browser version you are using
l The operating system you are using
l Which internet service provider you use
l Your IP address, which your Internet access provider assigns to your computer when you connect to the Internet
The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest, as the collection and storage of this data is necessary for the operation of the website in order to ensure the functionality of the website and to deliver the content of our website correctly.
In addition, the data serve us to optimise our website and to ensure the security of our IT systems and the processing is based in this respect on our vital interest. For this reason, the data is stored for a maximum of 7 days as a technical precaution.
We also use this data for the purposes of advertising, market research and to design our services to meet your needs by creating and evaluating user profiles under pseudonyms, but only if you have not exercised your right to object to this use of your data (see information on the right to object under “Your rights”).
Contacting us
When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide will be stored by us based on to fulfil a pre- contractual or contractual arrangement, insofar as it is necessary to answer your questions. The contact is logged in order to be able to prove the contact in accordance with the legal requirements. We delete the data accruing in this context when the respective conversation with you has ended and the facts concerned have been conclusively clarified.
Based on our legal obligations and our legitimate interest, we use and store your personal data and technical information to the extent necessary to prevent or prosecute misuse or other illegal behaviour on our website, e.g. to maintain data security in the event of attacks on our IT systems. This also takes place insofar as we are legally obliged to do so, for example due to official or court orders, and for the exercise of our rights and claims as well as for legal defence.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties
Your personal data will only be passed on if there is a legal obligation to do so or to service providers and partner companies that have been carefully selected in advance and are contractually obliged to comply with the requirements of data protection law.
a)Disclosure to service providers to fulfil a contractual arrangement and in our legitimate interest. For the operation and optimisation of our website and our services and for the processing of contracts, various service companies work for us, e.g. for central IT services or the hosting of our website, for the payment and delivery of services to whom we pass on the data required for the fulfilment of the task (e.g. name, address).
Some of these companies act for us by way of commissioned processing and may therefore use the data provided exclusively in accordance with our instructions. In this case, we are legally responsible for appropriate data protection precautions at the companies we commission. We therefore agree on specific data security measures with these companies and monitor them regularly.
c) Disclosure to other third parties to fulfil a contractual arrangement and our legal obligations. We will disclose your data to third parties or government agencies within the framework of existing data protection laws if we are legally obliged to do so, e.g. due to official or court orders, or if we are entitled to do so, e.g. because this is necessary for the prosecution of criminal offences or for the exercise and enforcement of our rights and claims.
Data transfer to third countries
If we use service providers in third countries, we take additional measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of personal data and thus ensure that the transfer is generally permissible and that the special requirements for a transfer to a third country are met (e.g. by concluding standard contracts and additional guarantees, supplementary technical and organisational measures such as encryption or anonymisation).
