Privacy policy (only in German language)

We are very plea­sed about your inte­rest in our com­pa­ny. Data pro­tec­tion is of a par­ti­cu­lar­ly high prio­ri­ty for the manage­ment of KUHN SOLUTIONS. The use of the Inter­net pages of the KUHN SOLUTIONS is pos­si­ble without any indi­ca­ti­on of per­so­nal data. Howe­ver, if a data sub­ject wants to use spe­cial ser­vices pro­vi­ded by our enter­pri­se via our web­site, pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data could beco­me necessa­ry. If pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is necessa­ry and the­re is no legal basis for such pro­ces­sing, we will gene­ral­ly obtain the con­sent of the data subject.

The pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data, such as the name, address, e‑mail address, or tele­pho­ne num­ber of a data sub­ject shall always be in line with the coun­try-spe­ci­fic data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons app­li­ca­ble to the KUHN SOLUTIONS. By means of this data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on, our enter­pri­se would like to inform the public about the natu­re, scope and pur­po­se of the per­so­nal data we collect, use and pro­cess. Fur­ther­mo­re, data sub­jects are infor­med of their rights by means of this data pro­tec­tion declaration.

As the con­trol­ler, the KUHN SOLUTIONS has imple­men­ted nume­rous tech­ni­cal and orga­niz­a­tio­nal mea­su­res to ensu­re the most com­ple­te pro­tec­tion of per­so­nal data pro­ces­sed through this web­site. Howe­ver, Inter­net-based data trans­mis­si­ons can always be vul­nerable to secu­ri­ty risks, so that abso­lu­te pro­tec­tion can­not be gua­ran­te­ed. For this rea­son, every data sub­ject is free to trans­mit per­so­nal data to us by alter­na­ti­ve means, for examp­le by telephone.

1. definitions

The data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on of KUHN SOLUTIONS is based on the terms used by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Ordi­nan­ce when issuing the Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­ti­on (DS-GVO). Our data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on should be easy to read and under­stand for the public as well as for our cus­to­mers and busi­ness part­ners. To ensu­re this, we would like to exp­lain the terms used in advance.

We use the fol­lowing terms, among others, in this Pri­va­cy Policy:

  • 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 to one or more fac­tors spe­ci­fic to the phy­si­cal, phy­sio­lo­gi­cal, gene­tic, men­tal, eco­no­mic, cul­tu­ral or social iden­ti­ty of that natu­ral person.

  • b) person concerned

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

  • c) Processing

    Pro­ces­sing means any ope­ra­ti­on or set of ope­ra­ti­ons which is per­for­med upon per­so­nal data, whe­ther or not by auto­ma­tic means, such as collec­tion, record­ing, orga­niz­a­ti­on, filing, sto­rage, adap­t­ati­on or alte­ra­ti­on, retrie­val, con­sul­ta­ti­on, use, dis­clo­sure by trans­mis­si­on, dis­se­mi­na­ti­on or other­wi­se making avail­ab­le, align­ment or com­bi­na­ti­on, restric­tion, era­su­re or destruction.

  • d) Restriction of processing

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

  • e) Profiling

    Pro­filing is any type of auto­ma­ted pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data that con­sists of using such per­so­nal data to eva­lua­te cer­tain per­so­nal aspects rela­ting to a natu­ral per­son, in par­ti­cu­lar to ana­ly­ze or pre­dict aspects rela­ting to that natu­ral person’s job per­for­mance, eco­no­mic situa­ti­on, health, per­so­nal pre­fe­ren­ces, inte­rests, relia­bi­li­ty, beha­vi­or, loca­ti­on or chan­ge of location.

  • f) Pseudonymization

    Pseud­ony­miz­a­ti­on is the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data in such 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 sepa­ra­te and is sub­ject to tech­ni­cal and orga­niz­a­tio­nal mea­su­res to ensu­re that the per­so­nal data is not attri­bu­t­ed to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral person.

  • g) Controller or person responsible for processing

    The con­trol­ler or per­son respon­si­ble for pro­ces­sing is the 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 con­trol­ler or the spe­ci­fic cri­te­ria for its desi­gna­ti­on may be pro­vi­ded for under Uni­on or Mem­ber Sta­te law.

  • h) Processor

    Pro­ces­sor means a natu­ral or legal per­son, public aut­ho­ri­ty, agen­cy or other body that pro­ces­ses per­so­nal data on behalf of the Controller.

  • i) Recipient

    A reci­pi­ent is a natu­ral or legal per­son, public aut­ho­ri­ty, agen­cy or other body to whom per­so­nal data are dis­c­lo­sed, whe­ther or not a third par­ty. Howe­ver, public aut­ho­ri­ties that may recei­ve per­so­nal data in the con­text of a spe­ci­fic inves­ti­ga­ti­ve task under Uni­on or Mem­ber Sta­te law shall not be con­si­de­red as recipients.

  • j) Third

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

  • k) Consent

    Con­sent shall mean any free­ly given indi­ca­ti­on of the data subject’s wis­hes for the spe­ci­fic case in an infor­med and unam­bi­guous man­ner in the form of a state­ment or any other unam­bi­guous affir­ma­ti­ve act by which the data sub­ject indi­ca­tes that he or she cons­ents to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data rela­ting to him or her.

2. name and address of the controller

3. cookies

The inter­net pages of KUHN SOLUTIONS use coo­kies. Coo­kies are text files that are pla­ced and stored on a com­pu­ter sys­tem via an Inter­net browser.

Nume­rous 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 of cha­rac­ters by which Inter­net pages and ser­vers can be assi­gned to the spe­ci­fic Inter­net brow­ser in which the coo­kie was stored. This enab­les the visi­ted Inter­net pages and ser­vers to dis­tin­guish the indi­vi­du­al brow­ser of the data sub­ject from other Inter­net brow­sers that con­tain other coo­kies. A spe­ci­fic inter­net brow­ser can be reco­gni­zed and iden­ti­fied via the uni­que coo­kie ID.

Through the use of coo­kies, the KUHN SOLUTIONS can pro­vi­de the users of this web­site with more user-friend­ly ser­vices that would not be pos­si­ble without the coo­kie setting.

By means of a coo­kie, the infor­ma­ti­on and offers on our web­site can be opti­mi­zed in the sen­se of the user. Coo­kies allow us, as alrea­dy men­tio­ned, 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, the user of a web­site that uses coo­kies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the web­site, becau­se this is hand­led 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 store. The online store uses a coo­kie to remem­ber the items that a cus­to­mer has pla­ced in the vir­tu­al shop­ping cart.

The data sub­ject can pre­vent the set­ting of coo­kies by our web­site at any time by means of an appro­pria­te set­ting of the Inter­net brow­ser used and thus per­ma­nent­ly object to the set­ting of coo­kies. Fur­ther­mo­re, coo­kies that have alrea­dy been set 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 Inter­net brow­ser used, not all func­tions of our web­site may be ful­ly usable.

4. collection of general data and information

The web­site of the KUHN SOLUTIONS collects a seri­es of gene­ral data and infor­ma­ti­on with each call-up of the web­site by a data sub­ject or auto­ma­ted sys­tem. This gene­ral data and infor­ma­ti­on is stored in the log files of the ser­ver. The fol­lowing data may be collec­ted: (1) the brow­ser types and ver­si­ons used, (2) the ope­ra­ting sys­tem used by the acces­sing sys­tem, (3) the web­site from which an acces­sing sys­tem acces­ses our web­site (so-cal­led refer­rer), (4) the sub-web­sites that are 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 avert dan­ger in the event of attacks on our infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy systems.

When using the­se gene­ral data and infor­ma­ti­on, the KUHN SOLUTIONS does not draw any con­clu­si­ons about the data sub­ject. Rather, this infor­ma­ti­on is nee­ded (1) to deli­ver the con­tents of our web­site cor­rect­ly, (2) to opti­mi­ze the con­tents of our web­site and the adver­ti­sing for the­se, (3) to ensu­re the long-term func­tio­n­a­li­ty of our infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy sys­tems and the tech­no­lo­gy of our web­site, and (4) to pro­vi­de law enfor­ce­ment aut­ho­ri­ties with the infor­ma­ti­on necessa­ry for pro­se­cu­ti­on in the event of a cyber attack. The­re­fo­re, the KUHN SOLUTIONS ana­ly­zes anony­mous­ly collec­ted data and infor­ma­ti­on on one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of incre­a­sing the data pro­tec­tion and data secu­ri­ty of our enter­pri­se, to ensu­re an opti­mal level of pro­tec­tion for the per­so­nal data we pro­cess. The anony­mous data of the ser­ver log files are stored sepa­r­ate­ly from any per­so­nal data sub­mit­ted by a data subject.

5. contact possibility via the website

Based on sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons, the web­site of the KUHN SOLUTIONS con­tains data that enab­le a quick elec­tro­nic con­ta­ct to our enter­pri­se, as well as direct com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on with us, which also inclu­des a gene­ral address of the so-cal­led elec­tro­nic mail (e‑mail address). If a data sub­ject con­ta­cts the con­trol­ler by e‑mail or by using a con­ta­ct form, the per­so­nal data trans­mit­ted by the data sub­ject will be stored auto­ma­ti­cal­ly. Such per­so­nal data trans­mit­ted on a vol­un­ta­ry basis by a data sub­ject to the con­trol­ler will be stored for the pur­po­ses of pro­ces­sing or con­ta­c­ting the data sub­ject. No dis­clo­sure of this per­so­nal data to third par­ties will take place.

6. routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The con­trol­ler shall pro­cess and store per­so­nal data of the data sub­ject only for the peri­od necessa­ry to achie­ve the pur­po­se of sto­rage or whe­re pro­vi­ded for by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on or other legis­la­tor in laws or regu­la­ti­ons to which the con­trol­ler is subject.

If the pur­po­se of sto­rage no lon­ger app­lies or if a sto­rage peri­od pre­scri­bed by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on or ano­t­her com­pe­tent legis­la­tor expi­res, the per­so­nal data will be rou­ti­nely blo­cked or dele­ted in accordance with the sta­tu­to­ry provisions.

7. rights of the data subject

  • a) Right to confirmation

    Every data sub­ject shall have the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and the Regu­la­ti­on, to obtain con­fir­ma­ti­on from the con­trol­ler as to whe­ther per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her are being pro­ces­sed. If a data sub­ject wis­hes to exer­cise this right, he or she may, at any time, con­ta­ct any employee of the controller.

  • b) Right to information

    Any per­son con­cer­ned by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right gran­ted by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on to obtain at any time from the con­trol­ler, free of char­ge, infor­ma­ti­on about the per­so­nal data stored about him or her and a copy of that infor­ma­ti­on. Fur­ther­mo­re, the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on has gran­ted the data sub­ject access to the fol­lowing information:

    • the pro­ces­sing purposes
    • the cate­go­ries of per­so­nal data that are processed
    • the reci­pi­ents or cate­go­ries of reci­pi­ents to whom the per­so­nal data have been or will be dis­c­lo­sed, in par­ti­cu­lar in the case of reci­pi­ents in third coun­tries or inter­na­tio­nal organizations
    • if pos­si­ble, the plan­ned dura­ti­on for which the per­so­nal data will be stored or, if this is not pos­si­ble, the cri­te­ria for deter­mi­ning this duration
    • the exis­tence of a right to obtain the rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on or era­su­re of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them or to obtain the restric­tion of pro­ces­sing by the con­trol­ler or a right to object to such processing
    • the exis­tence of a right of appeal to a super­vi­so­ry authority
    • if the per­so­nal data are not collec­ted from the data sub­ject: All avail­ab­le infor­ma­ti­on about the ori­gin of the data
    • the exis­tence of auto­ma­ted decisi­on-making, inclu­ding pro­filing, pur­suant to Arti­cle 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and – at least in the­se cases – mea­ning­ful infor­ma­ti­on about the logic invol­ved and the scope and inten­ded effects of such pro­ces­sing for the data subject

    Fur­ther­mo­re, the data sub­ject shall have the right to obtain infor­ma­ti­on as to whe­ther per­so­nal data have been trans­fer­red to a third coun­try or to an inter­na­tio­nal orga­niz­a­ti­on. If this is the case, the data sub­ject also has the right to obtain infor­ma­ti­on about the appro­pria­te safe­guards in con­nec­tion with the transfer.

    If a data sub­ject wis­hes to exer­cise this right of access, he or she may, at any time, con­ta­ct any employee of the controller.

  • c) Right to rectification

    Any per­son affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right gran­ted by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on to request the immedia­te rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on of inac­cu­ra­te per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her. Fur­ther­mo­re, the data sub­ject has the right to request the com­ple­ti­on of incom­ple­te per­so­nal data – also by means of a sup­ple­men­ta­ry decla­ra­ti­on – taking into account the pur­po­ses of the processing.

    If a data sub­ject wis­hes to exer­cise this right to rec­ti­fy, he or she may, at any time, con­ta­ct any employee of the controller.

  • d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

    Any per­son con­cer­ned by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on, to obtain from the con­trol­ler the era­su­re without delay of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her, whe­re one of the fol­lowing rea­sons app­lies and inso­far as the pro­ces­sing is not necessary:

    • The per­so­nal data were collec­ted or other­wi­se pro­ces­sed for pur­po­ses for which they are no lon­ger necessary.
    • The data sub­ject revo­kes the con­sent on which the pro­ces­sing was based pur­suant to Art. 6(1)(a) DS-GVO or Art. 9(2)(a) DS-GVO and the­re is no other legal basis for the processing.
    • The data sub­ject objects to the pro­ces­sing pur­suant to Arti­cle 21(1) of the GDPR and the­re are no over­ri­ding legi­ti­ma­te grounds for the pro­ces­sing, or the data sub­ject objects to the pro­ces­sing pur­suant to Arti­cle 21(2) of the GDPR.
    • The per­so­nal data have been pro­ces­sed unlawfully.
    • The dele­ti­on of the per­so­nal data is necessa­ry for com­pli­an­ce with a legal obli­ga­ti­on under Uni­on or Mem­ber Sta­te law to which the con­trol­ler is subject.
    • The per­so­nal data was collec­ted in rela­ti­on to infor­ma­ti­on socie­ty ser­vices offe­red pur­suant to Art. 8 (1) DS-GVO.

    If one of the afo­re­men­tio­ned rea­sons app­lies, and a data sub­ject wis­hes to arran­ge for the dele­ti­on of per­so­nal data stored by the KUHN SOLUTIONS, he or she may, at any time, con­ta­ct any employee of the con­trol­ler. The employee of KUHN SOLUTIONS will arran­ge for the era­su­re request to be com­plied with immediately.

    If the per­so­nal data has been made public by the KUHN SOLUTIONS and our com­pa­ny as the respon­si­ble par­ty is obli­ged to dele­te the per­so­nal data pur­suant to Art. 17 Para. 1 DS-GVO, KUHN SOLUTIONS shall imple­ment rea­son­ab­le mea­su­res, inclu­ding tech­ni­cal mea­su­res, to com­pen­sa­te other data con­trol­lers for pro­ces­sing the per­so­nal data publis­hed, taking into account the avail­ab­le tech­no­lo­gy and the cost of imple­men­ta­ti­on, in order to inform the data sub­ject that he or she has reques­ted from tho­se other data con­trol­lers to era­se all links to the per­so­nal data or copies or repli­ca­ti­ons of the per­so­nal data, unless the pro­ces­sing is necessa­ry. The employee of the KUHN SOLUTIONS will arran­ge the necessa­ry in indi­vi­du­al cases.

  • e) Right to restriction of processing

    Any per­son con­cer­ned by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on, to obtain from the con­trol­ler the restric­tion of pro­ces­sing if one of the fol­lowing con­di­ti­ons is met:

    • The accu­ra­cy of the per­so­nal data is con­tes­ted by the data sub­ject for a peri­od enab­ling the con­trol­ler to veri­fy the accu­ra­cy of the per­so­nal data.
    • The pro­ces­sing is unlaw­ful, the data sub­ject objects to the era­su­re of the per­so­nal data and requests ins­tead the restric­tion of the use of the per­so­nal data.
    • The con­trol­ler no lon­ger needs the per­so­nal data for the pur­po­ses of pro­ces­sing, but the data sub­ject needs it for the asser­ti­on, exer­cise or defen­se of legal claims.
    • The data sub­ject has objec­ted to the pro­ces­sing pur­suant to Arti­cle 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whe­ther the legi­ti­ma­te grounds of the con­trol­ler over­ri­de tho­se of the data subject.

    If one of the afo­re­men­tio­ned con­di­ti­ons is met, and a data sub­ject wis­hes to request the restric­tion of per­so­nal data stored by the KUHN SOLUTIONS, he or she may, at any time, con­ta­ct any employee of the con­trol­ler. The employee of the KUHN SOLUTIONS will arran­ge the restric­tion of the processing.

  • f) Right to data portability

    Any per­son con­cer­ned by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on, to recei­ve the per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her, which have been pro­vi­ded by the data sub­ject to a con­trol­ler, in a struc­tu­red, com­mon­ly used and machi­ne-read­a­ble for­mat. He or she also has the right to trans­mit this data to ano­t­her con­trol­ler without hin­dran­ce from the con­trol­ler to whom the per­so­nal data have been pro­vi­ded, pro­vi­ded that the pro­ces­sing is based on con­sent pur­suant to Arti­cle 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Arti­cle 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a con­tract pur­suant to Arti­cle 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out by auto­ma­ted means, unless the pro­ces­sing is necessa­ry for the per­for­mance of a task car­ri­ed out in the public inte­rest or in the exer­cise of offi­cial aut­ho­ri­ty ves­ted in the controller.

    Fur­ther­mo­re, when exer­cis­ing his or her right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty pur­suant to Arti­cle 20(1) of the GDPR, the data sub­ject shall have the right to obtain that the per­so­nal data be trans­fer­red direct­ly from one con­trol­ler to ano­t­her con­trol­ler, to the extent that this is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble and pro­vi­ded that this does not adver­se­ly affect the rights and free­doms of other individuals.

    In order to assert the right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty, the data sub­ject may at any time con­ta­ct any employee of the KUHN SOLUTIONS.

  • g) Right of objection

    Any per­son affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right gran­ted by the Euro­pean Direc­ti­ve and Regu­la­ti­on to object at any time, on grounds rela­ting to his or her par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on, to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her car­ri­ed out on the basis of Arti­cle 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also app­lies to pro­filing based on the­se provisions.

    The KUHN SOLUTIONS shall no lon­ger pro­cess the per­so­nal data in the event of the objec­tion, unless we can demons­tra­te com­pel­ling legi­ti­ma­te grounds for the pro­ces­sing which over­ri­de the inte­rests, rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject, or for the asser­ti­on, exer­cise or defence of legal claims.

    If the KUHN SOLUTIONS pro­ces­ses per­so­nal data for the pur­po­se of direct mar­ke­ting, the data sub­ject shall have the right to object at any time to pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data pro­ces­sed for such mar­ke­ting. This also app­lies to the pro­filing, inso­far as it is rela­ted to such direct mar­ke­ting. If the data sub­ject objects to KUHN SOLUTIONS to the pro­ces­sing for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses, KUHN SOLUTIONS will no lon­ger pro­cess the per­so­nal data for the­se purposes.

    In addi­ti­on, the data sub­ject has the right, on grounds rela­ting to his or her par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on, to object to pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her which is car­ri­ed out by the KUHN SOLUTIONS for sci­en­ti­fic or his­to­ri­cal rese­arch pur­po­ses, or for sta­tis­ti­cal pur­po­ses pur­suant to Arti­cle 89(1) of the DS-GVO, unless such pro­ces­sing is necessa­ry for the per­for­mance of a task car­ri­ed out in the public interest.

    In order to exer­cise the right to object, the data sub­ject may direct­ly con­ta­ct any employee of the KUHN SOLUTIONS or ano­t­her employee.

14. legal basis of the processing

Arti­cle 6 I lit. a DS-GVO ser­ves our com­pa­ny 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 to which the data sub­ject is a par­ty, as is the case, for examp­le, with pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons that are necessa­ry for the deli­very of goods or the pro­vi­si­on of ano­t­her ser­vice or con­si­de­ra­ti­on, the pro­ces­sing is based on Arti­cle 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same app­lies to such pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons that are necessa­ry for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res, for examp­le in cases of inqui­ries about our pro­ducts or ser­vices. If our com­pa­ny is sub­ject to a legal obli­ga­ti­on by which a pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data beco­mes necessa­ry, such as for the ful­fill­ment of tax obli­ga­ti­ons, the pro­ces­sing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data might beco­me necessa­ry to pro­tect vital inte­rests of the data sub­ject or ano­t­her natu­ral per­son. This would be the case, for examp­le, if a visi­tor were to be inju­red on our pre­mi­ses and as a result his or her name, age, health insuran­ce data or other vital infor­ma­ti­on had to be pas­sed on to a doc­tor, hos­pi­tal or other third par­ty. Then the pro­ces­sing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO.
Ulti­mate­ly, pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons which are not cove­r­ed by any of the afo­re­men­tio­ned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the pro­ces­sing is necessa­ry for the pro­tec­tion of a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest of our com­pa­ny or a third par­ty, pro­vi­ded that the inte­rests, fun­da­men­tal rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject are not over­rid­den. Such pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are per­mit­ted to us in par­ti­cu­lar becau­se they were spe­ci­fi­cal­ly men­tio­ned by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor. In this respect, it took the view that a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest could be assu­med if the data sub­ject is a cus­to­mer of the con­trol­ler (reci­tal 47 sen­tence 2 DS-GVO).

15. legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is based on Arti­cle 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest is the per­for­mance of our busi­ness acti­vi­ties for the bene­fit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

16. duration for which the personal data are stored

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

17. legal or contractual requirements to provide the 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 regu­la­ti­ons (e.g. infor­ma­ti­on on the con­trac­tu­al partner).
Some­ti­mes, in order to con­clu­de a con­tract, it may be necessa­ry for a data sub­ject to pro­vi­de us with per­so­nal data that must sub­se­quent­ly be pro­ces­sed by us. For examp­le, the data sub­ject is obli­ged to pro­vi­de us with per­so­nal data if our com­pa­ny con­clu­des a con­tract with him or her. 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 the per­so­nal data is requi­red by law or by con­tract or is necessa­ry for the con­clu­si­on of the con­tract, whe­ther the­re is an obli­ga­ti­on to pro­vi­de the per­so­nal data, and what the con­se­quen­ces of not pro­vi­ding the per­so­nal data would be.

18. existence of automated decision making

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

This data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on was crea­ted by the data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on gene­ra­tor of DGD Deut­sche Gesell­schaft für Daten­schutz GmbH, which acts as a Exter­nal data pro­tec­tion offi­cer Bam­berg is acti­ve in coope­ra­ti­on with the IT and data pro­tec­tion law Attor­ney Chris­ti­an Sol­me­cke created.

Further additions to the privacy policy

SSL encryption

To pro­tect the secu­ri­ty of your data during trans­mis­si­on, we use sta­te-of-the-art encryp­ti­on methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Contact form

If you con­ta­ct us by e‑mail or con­ta­ct form regar­ding ques­ti­ons of any kind, you give us your vol­un­ta­ry con­sent for the pur­po­se of con­ta­c­ting you. For this pur­po­se, it is necessa­ry to pro­vi­de a valid e‑mail address. This ser­ves the assign­ment of the request and the sub­se­quent respon­se to the same. The pro­vi­si­on of fur­ther data is optio­nal. The infor­ma­ti­on you pro­vi­de will be stored for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing the request and for pos­si­ble fol­low-up ques­ti­ons. After com­ple­ti­on of your request, per­so­nal data will be dele­ted automatically.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to dis­play our con­tent cor­rect­ly and gra­phi­cal­ly appe­aling across brow­sers, we use script libra­ries and font libra­ries on this web­site, such as Goog­le Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Goog­le Web Fonts are trans­fer­red to your browser’s cache to avoid mul­ti­ple loads. If the brow­ser does not sup­port Goog­le Web Fonts or pre­vents access, con­tent is dis­play­ed in a stan­dard font.

Cal­ling up script libra­ries or font libra­ries auto­ma­ti­cal­ly trig­gers a con­nec­tion to the ope­ra­tor of the libra­ry. It is theo­re­ti­cal­ly pos­si­ble – alt­hough it is cur­r­ent­ly unclear whe­ther and for what pur­po­ses – that the ope­ra­tors of such libra­ries collect data.

The pri­va­cy poli­cy of the libra­ry ope­ra­tor Goog­le can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This web­site uses Goog­le Maps API to visual­ly dis­play geo­gra­phi­cal infor­ma­ti­on. When using Goog­le Maps, Goog­le also collects, pro­ces­ses and uses data about visi­tors‘ use of the map func­tions. More infor­ma­ti­on about the data pro­ces­sing by Goog­le can be found at the Goog­le Pri­va­cy Poli­cy from the pri­va­cy cen­ter. The­re you can also chan­ge your per­so­nal pri­va­cy set­tings in the Pri­va­cy Center.

Detail­ed inst­ruc­tions on how to mana­ge your own data in con­nec­tion with Goog­le pro­ducts you can find here.

Change to our privacy policy

We reser­ve the right to adapt this data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on so that it always com­plies with the cur­rent legal requi­re­ments or in order to imple­ment chan­ges to our ser­vices in the data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on, e.g. when intro­du­cing new ser­vices. The new pri­va­cy poli­cy will then app­ly to your next visit.

Questions for the data protection officer

If you have any ques­ti­ons about data pro­tec­tion, plea­se wri­te us an e‑mail or con­ta­ct the per­son respon­si­ble for data pro­tec­tion in our orga­niz­a­ti­on direct­ly: Dani­el Kuhn

The exten­si­on of the pri­va­cy poli­cy was made with the Data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on gene­ra­tor crea­ted by acti­ve­Mind AG.
