IV LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not specified in the data protection notice, the following applies:
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR. The legal basis for processing for the fulfilment of our services and implementation of contractual measures as well as for answering enquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The legal basis for processing for the fulfilment of our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. If the processing of your data is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

V STORAGE DURATION AND DATA ERASURE

We adhere to the principles of data minimisation pursuant to Art. 5 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR and storage limitation pursuant to Art. 5 para. 1 lit. e) GDPR. We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for by the retention periods stipulated by law. After the respective purpose no longer applies or after these retention periods have expired, the corresponding data will be deleted as quickly as possible.

VI EXTERNAL LINKS

This website may contain links to third-party websites or to other websites under our responsibility. If you follow a link to a website outside our responsibility, please note that these websites have their own data protection information. We accept no responsibility or liability for these third-party websites and their data protection notices. Therefore, before using these websites, please check whether you agree with the data protection declarations there. External links can be recognised either by the fact that they are displayed in a different colour from the rest of the text or underlined. Your cursor will show you external links when you move it over such a link. Only when you click on an external link will your personal data be transferred to the destination of the link. In particular, the operator of the other website will receive your IP address, the time at which you clicked on the link, the page on which you clicked on the link and other information that you can find in the data protection information of the respective provider.

Please also note that individual links may lead to a data transfer outside the European Economic Area. This could give foreign authorities access to your data. You may not have any legal remedies against this data access. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the link destination or even exposed to unwanted access by foreign authorities, please do not click on any links.

VII RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you have the opportunity to assert various rights. The data subject rights arising from the GDPR are the right of access (Article 15), the right to rectification (Article 16), the right to erasure (Article 17), the right to restriction of processing (Article 18), the right to object (Article 21), the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and the right to data portability (Article 20).

Right to object:

If the processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you as the data subject may object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. You also have this right in the case of profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR. If we cannot demonstrate a legitimate interest in the processing that outweighs your interests, rights and freedoms or if processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, we will refrain from processing your data after the objection has been made.

If the processing of personal data serves the purpose of direct marketing, you also have the right to object at any time. The same applies to profiling in connection with direct advertising. Here too, we will no longer process personal data as soon as you raise an objection.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:

If you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability:

If your data is processed automatically on the basis of consent or fulfilment of a contract, you have the right to receive this data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request the transfer and provision of the data to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

Right of access, rectification and erasure:

You have the right to obtain information about your processed personal data with regard to the purpose of the data processing, the categories, the recipients and the duration of storage. If you have any questions on this topic or other topics relating to personal data, you can of course contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing:

You can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data at any time. To do so, you must fulfil one of the following conditions: 

You contest the accuracy of the personal data. For the duration of the verification of the accuracy, you have the right to request the restriction of processing.
If the processing is unlawful, you can request the restriction of the use of the data as an alternative to erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you can request the restriction of processing as an alternative to erasure.
If you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours will be weighed up. Until this balancing has taken place, you have the right to request the restriction of processing.
Restriction of processing means that, apart from being stored, the personal data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

VIII RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH AN AUTHORITY PURSUANT TO ART. 13 ABS. 2 LIT. D)

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

IX REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.  All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

X PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE (WEB HOST)

When you visit our website, we automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files. Your browser automatically transmits this information to our server or to the server of our hosting company.

These are


IP address of the website visitor's end device
Device used
Host name of the accessing computer
Operating system of the visitor
Browser type and version
Name of the retrieved file
Time of the server request
Amount of data
Information on whether the retrieval of the data was successful
This data is not merged with other data sources.

Instead of operating this website on our own server, we can also have it operated on the server of an external service provider (hosting company), which we have named above in this case. The personal data collected by this website will then be stored on the hosting company's servers. In addition to the data mentioned above, the web host also stores contact requests, contact data, names, website access data, meta and communication data, contract data and other data generated via a website for us, for example.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of this website. If the website is accessed in order to enter into contractual negotiations with us or to conclude a contract, a further legal basis is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.  In the event that we have commissioned a hosting company, there is an order processing contract with this service provider.

XI USE OF LOCAL STORAGE ITEMS, SESSION STORAGE ITEMS AND COOKIES

Our website uses local storage items, session storage items and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that enables the storage of data within the browser on your end device. This data usually contains user preferences, such as the ‘day’ or ‘night’ mode of a website, and is retained until you delete the data manually. Session storage is very similar to local storage, whereas the storage period only lasts during the current session, i.e. until the current tab is closed. The session storage items are then deleted from your end device. Cookies are information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your end device in order to be able to identify this end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) and deleted at the end of your visit to a website or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

These objects may also be stored on your device by third-party companies when you visit our website (third-party requests). This enables us as the operator and you as a visitor to this website to utilise certain third-party services that are installed on this website. Examples of this include the processing of payment services or the display of videos.

These mechanisms can be used in a variety of ways. They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping basket functions, increase the security and convenience of website use and carry out analyses of visitor flows and behaviour. Depending on the individual functions, these must be categorised under data protection law. If they are necessary for the operation of the website and intended to provide certain functions (shopping basket function) or serve to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitor behaviour), they are used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of local storage items, session storage items and cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services. In all other cases, local storage items, session storage items and cookies are only stored with your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).

If local storage items, session storage or cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately in this data protection notice. Your required consent will be requested and can be revoked at any time.

XII ANALYTICS

We process personal data of website visitors to analyse user behaviour. By analysing the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This enables us to increase the user-friendliness of our website. The analysis tools used can be used, for example, to create user profiles for the display of targeted or interest-based advertising messages, to recognise our website visitors the next time they visit our website, to identify their click/scroll behaviour, their downloads and their use of our website.

-/scrolling behaviour, their downloads, create heat maps, recognise page views, measure the duration of visits or bounce rates, and trace the origin of website visitors (city, country, which page the visitor comes from). The analysis tools help us to improve our market research and marketing activities.

The processing of the data is based on the legal basis of consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). As a website visitor, you have consented to the processing of your personal data with your voluntary, explicit and prior consent. Without separate consent, the personal data will not be processed by us in the manner described above, provided that there is no other legal basis within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR on which we base the processing. We will proceed in the same way if you withdraw your consent. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until you withdraw your consent.

XII.1 MATOMO

We use the Matomo service on our website. The provider of this service is InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.
As this service is hosted locally on the web server, no data is transferred to third parties.

XIII UPDATING AND AMENDMENT OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy is currently valid and has the status 08 / 2024 . Due to the further development of our website and offers on it or due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this data protection declaration.
