9. registration on our website

You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data.
The personal data that is transmitted to us in this process results from the respective input mask that is used for the registration. The personal data entered is collected and stored exclusively for our internal use and for our own purposes. A transfer to one or more order processors, such as parcel service providers, can be arranged if the personal data is used exclusively for an internal use that is attributable to us.

By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), the date as well as the time of registration are stored. By storing this data, the misuse of our services can be prevented and, if necessary, the data can enable us to clarify crimes that have been committed. The storage of this data is therefore necessary for our protection. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
We use your registration to offer you content or services that can only be offered to registered users. You are free to change the personal data you provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

Upon request, we will provide you at any time with information about which of your personal data we have stored. Upon your request or demand, we will correct or delete your personal data if your request does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. The data controller or another employee is available to you as a contact in this context.

10. registration and subscription to our newsletter

We offer you the possibility to register and subscribe to our company’s newsletter.
Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used when ordering.
With the newsletter we inform our customers and business partners at regular intervals about offers of our company as well as other interesting innovations.

In principle, the newsletter of our company can only be received if you have a valid e-mail address and you register for the newsletter dispatch and thus according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO have expressly consented to the sending of the newsletter to the e-mail address provided.
The registration to our newsletter is done in double opt-in process, i.e. after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation serves to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address and that you have authorized yourself to receive the newsletter.
Subscription to the newsletter is logged in order to be able to prove the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements. For this purpose, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) and the date and time of registration and confirmation are stored. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace a possible misuse of your e-mail address later.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is not passed on to third parties. You can cancel the subscription to our newsletter at any time and revoke the consent to the storage of your personal data given to us for the newsletter mailing at any time. There is a link to this in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter service at any time directly on our website or otherwise inform us of your wish to cancel or revoke the newsletter service.

11. SSL encryption

To protect your transmitted data in the best possible way, we use SSL encryption. You can recognize encrypted connections by the prefix “https://” in the page link in your browser’s address bar. Unencrypted pages are marked by “http://”.
All data that you transmit to this website – for example when making inquiries or logging in – cannot be read by third parties thanks to SSL encryption.

12. routine deletion and blocking of personal data

We process and store collected personal data only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or another legislator in laws or regulations to which we are subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

d) right to erasure of personal data pursuant to. Art. 17 GDPR
As a data subject of the processing of personal data, you have the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker, to request that, if one of the following grounds applies, we erase the personal data concerning you without delay, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims:

If the personal data has been made public by us and we are the responsible party pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 DSGVO to erase the personal data, we shall take reasonable measures, including the use of technical means, to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data and to obtain erasure of the personal data where processing is not necessary, insofar as this is technically feasible for us. The employee responsible for processing personal data will arrange the necessary in individual cases.

e) Right to restrict the processing of personal data pursuant to. Art. 18 GDPR

As a data subject of the processing of personal data, you have the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to request from us the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:

– the accuracy of the personal data is disputed by you for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

f) Right to data portability

As a data subject of the processing of personal data, you have the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b) DSGVO and the processing is carried out with the aid 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 us.

Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 DSGVO, you have the right to request that your personal data be transferred directly from us to another controller, if the technical requirements for this are met and if this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
To assert the right to data portability, you may at any time contact an employee responsible for processing the data.

g) Right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR

As a person affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you, provided that your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) of the Data Protection Act. 1 e), f) DSGVO takes place.
The right to object requires that there are reasons arising from your particular situation or that the objection is directed against direct advertising.
Your personal data will no longer be processed in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms. The same applies if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If we process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing without the existence or indication of a particular situation. This also applies to any profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

If you object to us processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, you have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 Para. 1 DSGVO, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right of objection, you may directly contact a member of staff responsible for data processing. It is also sufficient to send an objection by e-mail to the e-mail address indicated on our website.
You are also entitled, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases (including profiling)

As a data subject concerned by the processing of personal data, you have the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similar manner, unless the decision

(1) is not necessary for the formation or performance of a contract between us and you; or
(2) is permitted by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which we are subject and such legislation takes reasonable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is done with your express consent.

If the decision is necessary for the contract concluded with us or for the performance of the contract, or if it is made with your explicit consent, we will take appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

If you wish to exercise your rights in relation to automated decisions, you may contact the data controller at any time.

i) Right of revocation of a data protection consent according to. Art. 7 par. 3 GDPR

As a person affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker to revoke at any time a consent given to us for the processing of personal data, with the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future.
If you wish to exercise your right to withdraw your consent, you may do so at any time by contacting an employee responsible for data processing.

14. legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for those processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g. for the provision of services or delivery), the processing is based on Art. 6 I b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for pre-contractual measures, e.g. in the case of inquiries about services.

If we are subject to legal obligations that require us to process personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the basis of the processing is Art. 6 I c) DSGVO.
Exceptionally, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if you were to suffer injuries at our company and contact details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I d) DSGVO.
Finally, processing operations may also be based on Art. 6 I f) DSGVO if processing operations are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and our interests, your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override them. Such processing operations are permitted to us mainly because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The latter has taken the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed, for example, if you are a contractual partner of ours (recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

15. legitimate interests in the processing pursued by us or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I f) DSGVO, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees.

16. storage period for personal data

The basis for the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. When this period expires, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

17. legal or contractual requirements to provide 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

We hereby inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). It may be necessary, for example, for the conclusion of a contract that you provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, you are obliged to provide us with personal data if you conclude a contract with our company, as otherwise a contract could not be concluded.
At your request, an employee responsible for data processing will inform you on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You can also ask them whether there is an obligation to disclose your personal data and what the consequences would be if you did not provide it.
