Personal data

Personal data is information about you. This includes your name, address, and email address. You do not need to provide any personal data to visit our website. In some cases, we need your name and address, as well as other information, to provide you with the requested service.

The same applies if we send you informational material upon request or if we answer your inquiries. In these cases, we will always inform you accordingly. Furthermore, we only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.

When you use one of our services, we generally only collect the data necessary to provide you with that service. We may ask you for additional information, but providing this is entirely voluntary. Whenever we process personal data, we do so to provide you with our service or to pursue our business objectives.

Contact

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or social media), the information provided by the requesting persons will be processed to the extent necessary to answer the contact requests and any requested measures.

Responding to contact requests within the framework of contractual or pre-contractual relationships is done to fulfill our contractual obligations or to answer (pre-)contractual inquiries, and otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests in answering the inquiries.

Types of data processed: Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. entries in online forms).
Affected persons: Communication partners.
Purposes of processing: Contact requests and communication.
Legal basis: Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

Automatically saved data

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

Date and time of the request
Name of the requested file
Page from which the file was requested
Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
web browser and operating system used
Full IP address of the requesting computer
amount of data transferred

This data will not be combined with other data sources. Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

For technical security reasons, particularly to defend against attacks on our web server, we temporarily store this data. It is not possible for us to identify individual users based on this data. After a maximum of seven days, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address to the domain level, making it impossible to link it to any individual user. In anonymized form, the data is also processed for statistical purposes; it is not compared with other data sets or shared with third parties, even in part. The number of page views is only presented in our server statistics, which we publish every two years in our activity report.

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to recognize the specific web browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using session cookies, the data controller can provide users of this website with a user-friendly service that would not be possible without setting cookies. Without consent, we only use technically necessary cookies on the legal basis of legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We only use personalized cookies to improve our website or for marketing/advertising purposes with your consent. On your first visit, you can voluntarily consent to tracking and analysis via the displayed cookie banner. Your data may be shared with partners or third-party providers. These cookies will only be stored if you explicitly consent; the legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Security

We have implemented technical and administrative security measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation, and unauthorized access. All our employees and service providers are bound by applicable data protection laws.

Whenever we collect and process personal data, it is encrypted before transmission. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security measures are subject to continuous improvement, and our privacy policy is constantly being revised. Please ensure you have the most up-to-date version.

Data subject rights

You have the right to information, rectification, erasure or restriction of the processing of your stored data at any time, a right to object to the processing as well as a right to data portability and to lodge a complaint in accordance with the requirements of data protection law.

Right to information:

You can request information from us about whether and to what extent we process your data.

Right to rectification:

If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request that we correct or complete it at any time.

Right to erasure:

You can request that we delete your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing disproportionately infringes upon your legitimate interests. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate deletion, for example, in the case of legally mandated retention periods.

Regardless of whether you exercise your right to erasure, we will delete your data immediately and completely, unless there is a contractual or legal obligation to retain it.

Right to restriction of processing:

You can request that we restrict the processing of your data if

- You dispute the accuracy of the data, for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the data.

- the processing of the data is unlawful, but you refuse deletion and instead request a restriction of data use,

- we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data to assert or defend legal claims, or

- You have objected to the processing of your data.

Right to data portability:

You can request that we provide you with your data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and that you can transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that

- we process this data based on your consent, which you can revoke, or to fulfill a contract between us, and

- this processing is carried out using automated procedures.

If technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your data directly to another controller.

Right to object:

If we process your data based on legitimate interest, you can object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time without giving reasons.

Right to appeal:

If you believe that we have violated German or European data protection law in processing your data, please contact us so that we can clarify any questions. You also have the right, of course, to contact the supervisory authority responsible for your region, the respective state data protection authority.

If you wish to exercise any of the aforementioned rights against us, please contact our data protection officer. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend our privacy policy if this becomes necessary due to new technologies. Please ensure you have the most up-to-date version. If fundamental changes are made to this privacy policy, we will announce them on our website.

We process your data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act 2018 as amended from time to time:

• for the performance of (pre-)contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR):

Your data is processed for contract fulfillment online or in one of our branches, and for the contract management of your employment with our company. The data is processed in particular during the initiation of business and the execution of contracts with you.

4. Processing of personal data for advertising purposes

You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time, either in general or for individual measures, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Under the legal provisions of Section 7 Paragraph 3 of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we are entitled to use the email address you provided when concluding the contract for direct marketing of our own similar goods or services. You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to our newsletter.

If you do not wish to receive such recommendations from us via email, you can object to the use of your email address for this purpose at any time, without incurring any costs other than the standard transmission fees. A written notification is sufficient. Of course, every email also contains an unsubscribe link.

5. Who receives my data?

When we use a service provider for data processing, we remain responsible for the protection of your data. All data processors are contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially and to process it only within the scope of providing their services. The data processors we engage receive your data only if they require it to fulfill their respective services. These include, for example, IT service providers that we need for the operation and security of our IT system, as well as advertising and address publishers for our own advertising campaigns.

Your data will be processed in our customer database. The customer database supports the improvement of the data quality of existing customer data (duplicate removal, deceased/moved indicators, address correction) and enables enrichment with data from public sources.

This data will be made available to group companies if necessary for contract processing. Customer data is stored separately and on a company-specific basis, with our parent company acting as a service provider for the individual participating companies.

In the event of a legal obligation or in the context of legal proceedings, authorities and courts as well as external auditors may be recipients of your data.

Furthermore, for the purpose of initiating and fulfilling contracts, insurance companies, banks, credit agencies and service providers may be recipients of your data.

6. How long will my data be stored?

We process your data until the termination of the business relationship or until the expiry of the applicable statutory retention periods (e.g. from the Commercial Code, the Fiscal Code, or the Working Time Act); furthermore, until the conclusion of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence.

7. Will personal data be transferred to a third country?

As a general rule, we do not transfer any data to a third country. Transfers only take place in individual cases based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, standard contractual clauses, suitable safeguards, or your explicit consent.

8. What data protection rights do I have?
