Notice Regarding Data Transfer to Third Countries That Are Not Secure Under Data Protection Law and Transfer to US Companies That Are Not DPF-Certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in third countries that are not secure under data protection law, no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed.

We point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally offers a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. A data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient has certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, a transfer of personal data to these external bodies is also required. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary within the framework of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in passing it on, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using order processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing contract is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data happened/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

The provider is Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland (hereinafter "Shopify").

Shopify is a tool for creating and hosting websites. When you visit our website, Shopify collects your IP address as well as information about the device and browser you use.

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3.  Web Tracking and Analytics

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website from this privacy policy.

For data collection by means of cookies, we use the following provider(s):

Shopify

Shopify uses technically necessary cookies that are required for the proper function of the online shop. These cookies enable, in particular, basic functions such as providing the shopping cart, executing the ordering and checkout process, storing privacy settings, as well as security and session functions.

The storage of or access to these technically necessary cookies is carried out on the basis of Section 25 Para. 2 No. 2 TDDDG, insofar as the cookies are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by you. Insofar as personal data is processed here, processing takes place – depending on the respective purpose – on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the execution of pre-contractual measures or contract fulfillment or on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our legitimate interest in a secure and functional online shop.

Within the scope of using Shopify, personal data may be processed outside the European Economic Area, in particular in Canada and the USA. Shopify uses appropriate protection mechanisms for corresponding international data transfers, in particular Binding Corporate Rules approved by European data protection authorities and, if applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses.

4.  Data Collection Through User Interactions

Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent to us by you via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on This Website

You can register on this website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, such as in the scope of the offer or in the case of technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The processing of the data entered during registration takes place for the purpose of implementing the user relationship established by the registration and, if applicable, for initiating further contracts (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on this website and will subsequently be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Instant Messaging Service

For communication by means of instant messaging service, we use the following provider(s):

WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use the instant messaging service WhatsApp, among others. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to communication content. However, WhatsApp receives access to metadata generated during the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient, and time). We also point out that WhatsApp, according to its own statement, shares personal data of its users with its parent company Meta based in the USA.

Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as possible with customers, interested parties, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If corresponding consent was requested, data processing takes place exclusively on the basis of consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after processing your request has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF commits to complying with these data protection standards. Further information on this can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/7735.

We use WhatsApp in the "WhatsApp Business" variant.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum.

We have configured our WhatsApp accounts so that there is no automatic data synchronization with the address book on the smartphones in use.

Order Processing

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Audio and Video Conferences

Data Processing

We use online conference tools, among other things, to communicate with our customers. The specific tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool.

The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants, and other "contextual information" related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to handle online communication. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it will also be stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes in particular cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during use of the service.

Please note that we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and Legal Bases

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Insofar as consent was requested, the tools concerned are used on the basis of this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Storage Period

The data collected directly by us via video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please inform yourself directly with the operators of the conference tools.

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis.

6.  Handling Applicant Data

Application Process

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post, or via online applicant form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Retention Period of Data

If we cannot make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data transmitted by you on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) with us. The data will then be deleted and physical application documents destroyed. Storage serves in particular for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiration of the six-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer storage can also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

7.  Information for Business Partners

Purpose of Processing and Type of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we process and store personal data of business partners (e.g. interested parties, customers, suppliers). In doing so, we also store your contact data that you provided to us in our systems in order to enable further contact with you. Below you will find information about the individual processing purposes.

Processing Personal Data of Interested Parties

If you are interested in our services or products and contact us in writing or by phone, we process your personal data in order to answer your request and, if requested, send you information material. If a contract is subsequently concluded with you, we process your data on the basis of this contract.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Processing Based on a Customer Relationship

If you are a customer of ours, we process your personal data for the purpose of contract initiation (e.g. quote creation), contract performance, and for implementing pre- and post-contractual measures.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

We reserve the right to conduct customer satisfaction surveys among our existing customers, invite you to events and trade fairs, send you customer magazines, and record the history of the customer relationship in our systems. Here we have a legitimate interest in continuously improving and strengthening our customer relationship.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We consider you an existing customer insofar as you have concluded a contract with us. Your contact details will be processed to send you information electronically (e.g. in the form of a newsletter) about new products.

You can object to the processing of your personal data for this purpose at any time. To do so, simply send your revocation to the contact options specified under Section 1.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

In the case of warranty processing, we process your personal data. This is necessary to fulfill warranty claims. We also permissibly use this data for postal contact to inform you about current topics, e.g., product recalls, system expansions, and discontinuations.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b, f GDPR.

Furthermore, we are subject to various legal obligations requiring us to process your data. These include tax requirements or terror and sanctions list screening of our customer contacts.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Processing Based on a Supplier Relationship

If you are a supplier to us, we process your contact details for the purpose of contract performance as well as for implementing pre- and post-contractual measures. This serves in particular to contact contact persons relevant in the course of the contract.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. If this data is not provided, contract performance cannot take place.

Processing Based on Consent

If you have given consent, we store your contact details in our systems even if there is no current contractual relationship with you. We then use this data to contact you at a later point in time.

We may also process your personal data to inform you about current products, events, and other topics if you have given us consent to do so.

The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Origin of Data 

We collect personal data directly from you when you provide it to us due to contract initiation, a contractual relationship, or personal contact, e.g. at trade fairs.

However, we also obtain personal data from publicly available sources, such as company websites or public databases such as www.gelbe-seiten.de. We process this data to be able to contact you.

Recipients of Data

We only transfer your personal data to third parties if we are legally obligated to do so, if this is necessary to fulfill an existing contractual obligation with you, to service providers with whom data processing exists pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, or if you have consented.

A transfer to third countries does not take place without your consent, unless we are legally obligated to do so or this is necessary to execute the contract.

Duration of Storage

Your personal data will only be stored for as long as knowledge of the data is necessary for the purposes of the customer relationship or the purposes for which it was collected, or if statutory or contractual retention regulations exist.

Different statutory retention periods arise, among other things, from tax regulations and extend up to ten years for tax-relevant documents and records. After the retention period, the data is deleted in compliance with data protection laws.
