In accordance with Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to obtain access to stored personal data concerning you, including information on any recipients and the planned storage period. If inaccurate personal data is being processed, you have a right to rectification in accordance with Article 16 GDPR. If the legal conditions are met, you can obtain erasure or restriction of processing, as well as object to the processing (Articles 17, 18 and 21 GDPR).

If you would like the data to be erased but we are still legally obliged to keep it, access to your data will be restricted (made unavailable). The same applies in the event of an objection. You can exercise your right to data portability provided that we and the recipient have the necessary technical capability.

Our external Data Protection Officer, Mr. Thomas Werning, is available to you as a contact person for your rights as a data subject under the contact details given above.

Data provision obligation

As a rule, it is not possible to conclude a contract if you do not supply accurate information.

Automated decision-making and profiling

Not currently carried out.

Intention of processing in third countries

Only carried out with your consent. Further information on this is provided on the consent forms and in the section “Data processing on the website”.

Categories of recipients

We use service providers, which we have separately obligated to maintain confidentiality and data protection, to provide certain services. Access to personal data cannot be ruled out in the course of this.

These categories of recipients are:

  • Processors we have commissioned (Article 28 GDPR), particularly in respect of IT services, taxes, logistics and printing services, which process your data for us in accordance with instructions.

  • Public authorities and institutions (financial authorities), when there is a statutory or official obligation.

  • Other bodies to which you have given us your consent to transfer data.

Data is transferred to authorities only when there are any overriding legal regulations.

Information on data processing on our website is provided below.

Website in general

Purposes of the processing

Presentation of the company, rendering of services and/or sale of products and communication over the Internet. The purpose of data processing on this website is to provide information on our company’s products and services and, if necessary, to handle applications, with the opportunity for users to get in touch with contacts within the company specifically.

General

When you provide us with personal data, we use it to respond to your enquiries, to provide advice, to perform contracts concluded with you and for the purpose of technical administration. Your personal data is only shared with or otherwise transferred to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of contract performance or for accounting purposes, or if you have previously given your consent to this. You have the right to withdraw consent you have previously given at any time with effect for the future; see “Right to withdraw” in this regard.

The legal basis for the collection, processing and transfer of data for the purpose of contract performance is point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR.

This data is erased once the applicable statutory retention periods have expired. If we do not have any statutory retention obligations, the data is erased once the relevant purpose ceases to apply.

You have a right of access and a right to object at all times in respect of your data stored by us. You can find further information under “Data subject rights” and “Right to withdraw”.

Server data collection

Purpose of the processing

When you visit our website, various server statistics, which your browser transmits to our provider’s server, are stored automatically: Among other things, the IP address of your device, the date and time of access, the name and URL of the files retrieved, the website (from which access is gained and/or from which you were referred to our website (referrer URL)), the browser used and, if necessary, your device’s operating system and your provider’s name are logged.

We process the data specified for the purposes of establishing a smooth connection and ensuring system security. This data is not merged with other data sources. Your IP address is anonymised. The connection data collected is erased automatically, usually after a maximum of seven days. If the website is misused, log files, must be retained for the purpose of evidence, are kept until the incident is resolved.

The legal basis is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR and Section 25 (2) TTDSG (here, however, only data such as browser or header information that is inevitably transmitted or transmitted due to (browser) settings of the end device when our website is accessed.). This should not be interpreted as “accessing information already stored in the terminal equipment”. We have a legitimate interest in respect of Article 6 (1) GDPR on the grounds that we want to guarantee the secure operation of the website and identify any attacks.

Enquiry by email

Purpose of the processing

When you send us a contact request by email, we collect and store the email address and the data contained in the email.

The legal basis is point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR because by using the form and sending an email, you give your consent to the aforementioned processing of your data. The legal basis is also provided by point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR because the storage of the data is necessary for the performance of a pre-contractual or subsequent contractual relationship.

The data is erased when the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, i.e. once the response to your email/contact form enquiry and/or the matter associated with your enquiry are fully complete.

You have the right to withdraw consent that you have given at any time; this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent.

You can find information on the right to erasure and the right of access under “Data subject rights”.

Newsletter

Purpose of the processing

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need you to provide an email address. You subscribe to the newsletter using the double opt-in method. This means that after subscribing you receive an email through which you must confirm your subscription. This method prevents anyone who doesn’t have the authority to do so from subscribing using your email address. Your subscription to the newsletter is logged (the time and date of subscription and confirmation, as well as your IP address, are stored). The log serves as evidence of the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your email address (and, if entry fields are also provided, the options for your first name and surname in order to address you personally) and to the use of it to distribute the newsletter, together with the associated performance measurement, at any time. A link to unsubscribe is provided at the end of every newsletter. So that we can prove that consent has previously been given for an unsubscribed email address, we may store this for up to 3 years before erasing it.

The legal basis for distribution of the newsletter and the associated performance measurement is provided by the subscription by the data subject/recipient in accordance with point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR and Article 7 GDPR and together with no. 3 of Section 7(2) of the German Act against Unfair Competition (Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb, UWG) and/or by the statutory consent in accordance with Section 7(3) UWG.

And point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR: Our legitimate interest in performance measurement lies in identifying our users’ reading habits based on the opening of the newsletter, opening times and the links clicked, which enable us to produce and send users helpful content according to their interests.

The legal basis for logging is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in using a secure, user-friendly newsletter system that is useful for distributing the newsletter and protects the newsletter subscribers’ personal data. It also enables us to provide proof of consent.
