PRIVACY POLICY

Data Protection Declaration

We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Strecker UG (limited liability). The use of the Strecker UG (limited liability) website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services of our company through our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Strecker UG (limited liability). Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy clarifies the rights of data subjects.

Strecker UG (limited liability) as the data controller has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection of the personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us through alternative means, such as by phone.

Definitions:

The data protection declaration of Strecker UG (limited liability) is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy aims to be easily readable and understandable for the public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in this privacy policy in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:

1. a) Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more specific factors expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

1. b) Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

1. c) Processing

1. d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

1. e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movement of that natural person.

1. f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

1. g) Data controller

Data controller is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the data controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

1. h) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

1. i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

1. j) Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

Cookies.

The websites of Strecker UG (limited liability) use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Strecker UG (limited liability) can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Through a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As mentioned earlier, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data again each time they visit the website, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart through a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the used internet browser, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information.

The website of Strecker UG (limited liability) collects a series of general data and information with each call to the website by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data can be recorded: (1) types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent risks in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Strecker UG (limited liability) does not draw conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically by Strecker UG (limited liability) on the one hand and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data we process.

Registration on our Website:

Users have the option to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller is determined by the input mask used for registration. The entered personal data is collected and stored solely for internal use by the data controller and for their own purposes. The data controller may also initiate the disclosure of this data to one or more processors, such as a parcel service, who will use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.

Upon registration on the data controller's website, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the data subject, along with the date and time of registration, is also stored. The storage of this data is necessary to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is required to secure the data controller. Generally, this data is not disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to disclose it or disclosure serves law enforcement.

Individuals voluntarily providing personal data during the registration process enables the data controller to offer content or services to the data subject that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered individuals have the option to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller's database.

The data controller provides information to any data subject at any time upon request about what personal data is stored about them. Furthermore, the data controller corrects or deletes personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided there are no legal retention obligations. All employees of the data controller are available to the data subject in this context as contact persons.

Subscription to our Newsletter:

On the website of Strecker UG (limited liability), users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter of the company. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

Strecker UG (limited liability) informs its customers and business partners regularly through a newsletter about the company's offers. The newsletter can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject has registered for newsletter delivery. A confirmation email in the double opt-in procedure is sent to the email address first entered by a data subject for newsletter delivery for legal reasons. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

Upon registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the data subject's computer system at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to trace any potential misuse of a data subject's email address at a later time and therefore serves the legal protection of the data controller.

Personal data collected during newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or if registration-related changes occur, such as changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is not disclosed to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link can be found in each newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. Furthermore, there is the option to unsubscribe from the newsletter delivery at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to communicate this to the data controller in another way.

Newsletter Tracking:

The newsletters of Strecker UG (limited liability) contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows for a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, Strecker UG (limited liability) can recognize whether and when an email from a data subject was opened and which links contained in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Personal data collected through such tracking pixels included in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize newsletter delivery and better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke their separate consent, given through the double opt-in procedure, regarding this matter. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Strecker UG (limited liability) as a revocation.

Contact Options via the Website:

The website of Strecker UG (limited liability) contains information, as required by legal regulations, that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us. This includes a general email address. If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data:

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

Once the purpose of storage is no longer applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

Rights of the Data Subject:

1. a) Right to Confirmation:

Every data subject has the right to request confirmation from the data controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. This right can be exercised by contacting an employee of the data controller.

1. b) Right to Information:

1. c) Right to Correction:

The data subject can demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data and, taking into account the processing purposes, the completion of incomplete data.

1. d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten):

Under certain conditions, the data subject can request the immediate erasure of their personal data. This is possible if the data is no longer necessary, consent has been revoked, there is an objection to processing, the data has been unlawfully processed, or there is a legal obligation to delete.

1. e) Right to Restriction of Processing:

Under certain conditions, the data subject can request the restriction of the processing of their personal data. This may be the case, for example, if the accuracy of the data is disputed or there is unlawful processing.

1. i) Right to Withdraw Consent:

If the processing is based on consent, the data subject can withdraw this consent at any time.

Privacy Policy regarding the use and utilization of Facebook:

The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online meeting place operated on the Internet, allowing users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or it allows the online community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The entity responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, when an affected person lives outside the USA or Canada.

With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plugin) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plugins can be found at

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE

During this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.

Should the affected person be simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes with each call to our website by the affected person and during the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the affected person visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the affected person. If the affected person presses one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the "Like" button, or if the affected person makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the affected person and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the affected person has visited our website if the affected person is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of calling up our website; this occurs regardless of whether the affected person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such transmission of this information to Facebook is not wanted by the affected person, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before calling up our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at

https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/,

provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the affected person. Various applications are also available that allow the affected person to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the affected person to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

Privacy Policy for the use of Facebook Pixel:

Our website uses Facebook Pixel, a conversion tracking pixel from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

The behavior of the website visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows an analysis and optimization of the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes.

The collected data is anonymous to us; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, enabling a connection to the respective user profile and allowing Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. As a result, Facebook can enable the display of ads on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the website operator.

In the privacy settings of Facebook, you will find further information on protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also disable the "Custom Audiences" remarketing feature in the Ad Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen if you are logged into Facebook. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

Privacy Policy for the use of Google AdSense:

The data controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that facilitates the placement of advertisements on third-party sites. Google AdSense relies on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on third-party sites based on the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows for interest-based targeting of internet users, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.

The operator of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to include advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The nature of cookies has been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the usage of our website. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the data controller and on which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data for online advertising and commission settlement purposes to Alphabet Inc. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which is used, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as described above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in websites to enable log file recording and analysis, allowing for statistical evaluations. Alphabet Inc. can recognize, with the help of the embedded tracking pixel, whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to analyze the flow of visitors to a website.

Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, including the IP address, necessary for the collection and billing of displayed advertisements, are transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may disclose such personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

Google AdSense is further explained under this link:

https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/

Privacy Policy for the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function):

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects data, among other things, about which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for optimization of a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the extension "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. With the help of this extension, the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our websites from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The nature of cookies has been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google enables an analysis of the use of our website. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as described above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics, related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at:

https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/

Privacy Policy for the use and application of Google AdWords:

n this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads in Google search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables advertisers to define specific keywords in advance, based on which an ad is displayed in Google search engine results only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and adhering to pre-defined keywords.

The operator of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, as well as to display third-party advertising on our website.

When a data subject accesses our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the data subject's information technology system by Google. The nature of cookies has been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used for the identification of the data subject. The conversion cookie allows us and Google to determine whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. Using the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e., completed a purchase or canceled it.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us through AdWords ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

Personal information, such as the web pages visited by the data subject, is stored via the conversion cookie. During each visit to our websites, personal data, including the IP address of the data subject's internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. Google stores this personal data in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as described above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a conversion cookie set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time through the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used by them and make the desired settings there.

Privacy policy regarding PayPal as a payment method:

The data controller has integrated components of PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider that processes payments through so-called PayPal accounts, representing virtual private or business accounts. Additionally, PayPal offers the option to process virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed through an email address, eliminating the need for a traditional account number. PayPal enables online payments to third parties or receiving payments. PayPal also performs trustee functions and offers buyer protection services. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects "PayPal" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transmission of personal data necessary for payment processing.

The data transmitted to PayPal typically includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data required for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary for the processing of the purchase agreement.

The purpose of data transmission is payment processing and fraud prevention. The data controller will transmit personal data to PayPal, especially if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the data controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit reporting agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal may further disclose personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors as necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or to process the data on behalf. The data subject has the option to revoke consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable privacy policy of PayPal can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Legal basis of processing:

Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, of which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data is required, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were to be injured and as a result, their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would need to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or a third party:

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

Duration for which the personal data is stored:

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of 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 inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject 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 the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

Existence of automated decision-making:

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

Repetition of consent declarations:

You have given us your explicit consent(s), and we have documented your consent(s). According to the Telemedia Act, we are obliged to keep the content of consents available for retrieval at any time. You can revoke your consent(s) at any time with effect for the future.
