Processing of your data as part of the core activity of our company
If you are our customer or business partner or are interested in our services, the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your data depends on the contractual or pre-contractual relationship that exists between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all data that is or has been provided by you for the purpose of using the contractual or pre-contractual services and that is required to process your inquiry or the contract concluded between us. Unless otherwise stated in the further information in this privacy policy, the processing of your data and its disclosure to third parties is limited to the data that is necessary and expedient to answer your inquiries and/or to fulfill the contract concluded between you and us, to protect our rights and to fulfill legal obligations. We will inform you which data is required for this before or during data collection. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

Data concerned:

Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)
Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices)
Contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number, postal address)
Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, duration of the contract)
Data subjects: Interested parties, business and contractual partners

Purpose of processing: Processing contractual services, communication and responding to contact requests, office and organizational procedures

Legal basis: Fulfilment of contract and pre-contractual inquiries, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

Your rights under the GDPR
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which you can assert at any time with the controller named in section 1 of this privacy policy

Right of access: you have the right to request information from us as to whether and which of your data we process.
Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.
Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.

Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or another controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters is responsible.

Right to object
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you make use of your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that there are compelling legitimate grounds for data processing that outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis at any time.

Please send your objection to the contact address of the controller given above.

When do we delete your data?
We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices in this privacy policy – we delete your data

when the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, e.g.
after termination of the contractual or membership relationship existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or
after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data ceases to apply (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)
if you exercise your right to object and there is no other legal basis for the processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR,
if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for erasure.
However, if we still have to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting documents) or the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will only delete (the part of) your data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we restrict the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).

You can use the security settings of your browser to object to the use of cookies set by us within the scope of our legitimate interest. There you can specify whether you do not accept cookies from the outset or only accept them on request, or whether you want cookies to be deleted every time you close your browser. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR
If we ask you to allow us to place certain cookies on your end device before you visit our website and you consent to this, the legal basis is to be seen in the consent you have given.

Online advertising
We use services to display online advertising. The services we use collect certain user data via a cookie or pixel. This includes, in particular, the information from which website you came to our website (so-called referrer), which pages of our website you accessed, how long you visited our pages and what interactions you made there. In addition, data on the browser, computer system and device type you use is collected. In addition, demographic information, such as age or gender, can also be collected as pseudonymous values via such a service. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider. In order to collect and store this data, the respective service places a cookie or a so-called counting pixel on the end device you are using, which also collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is shortened using a so-called IP masking procedure so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. In principle, no clear data such as names or e-mail addresses are stored when the respective service is used. This is only the case if you are a member of a social network that offers one of the services listed below and merges your profile with the aforementioned data.

The data is analyzed by the service we use in order to produce a report with statistical statements about the number of visitors generated by the advertising and the success of the advertising measure. Among other things, the reports show the total number of users who were redirected to our website via our advertisements. The reports also contain information on the users’ end devices and browsers, the locations at which the users were located and the times at which the advertisement was clicked. However, the reports do not contain any information that could be used to personally identify you as a user of our website.

We would like to point out that, depending on the location of the service provider, the data collected via the service may be transferred and processed outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the GDPR will not be complied with and that the enforcement of your rights will be difficult or impossible.

Data concerned:

Usage data (e.g. access times, websites clicked on)
Communication data (e.g. information about the device used, IP address)
Data subjects: Users of our online services

Purpose of processing: Measuring reach, monitoring the success of campaigns, remarketing and marketing based on interests and behavior

Legal basis: If we have asked for your consent before using the respective service, this is the legal basis, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, we use the respective service on the basis of our legitimate interest in directing visitor flows to our website, analyzing these visitor flows in order to be able to continuously improve the functions, offers and user experience, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
