Privacy Policy - WOW! Products

 

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 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance  with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the  BEMAG Sascha Behrendt. By means of this data protection declaration, our  enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature,  scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.  Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data  protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

 

As the controller, the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt 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 may in principle have security gaps,  so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every  data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative  means, e.g. by telephone.

 

The data protection declaration of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt is based  on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the  General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection  declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public,  as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we  would like to first explain the terminology used.

 

In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:

a)    Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or  identifiable natural person (“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.

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

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

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

Profiling means 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 analyse or  predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work,  economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests,  reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner  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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not  attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or controller responsible for the 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 nomination may be provided for by Union  or Member State law.

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

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, public 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; the processing  of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with  the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the  processing.

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  authorised to process personal data.

Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed  and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or  she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies  agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

   

Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation  (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the  European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

The Internet pages of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt use cookies. Cookies  are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet  browser.

 

Many Internet sites 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 character string through which Internet pages and  servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the  cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to  differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other  Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet  browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

 

Through the use of cookies, the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt 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 with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously  mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this  recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The  website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data  each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the  website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system.  Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The  online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the  virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

 

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

 

The website of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt collects a series of general  data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up  the website. This general data and information are stored in the server  log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2)  the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from  which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),  (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet  site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet  service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data  and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our  information technology systems.

 

When using these general data and information, the BEMAG Sascha  Behrendt does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather,  this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website  correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its  advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information  technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law  enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal  prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the BEMAG Sascha  Behrendt analyzes anonymously collected data and information  statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data  security of our enterprise, and 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 all personal data provided by a data  subject.

 

 

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP  address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the  data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The  storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the  only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to  make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage  of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not  passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to  pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal  prosecution.  

 

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication  of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data  subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered  users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons  are free to change the personal data specified during the registration  at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of  the controller.

 

The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon  request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about  the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or  erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject,  insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of  the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this  respect as contact persons.

 

On the website of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt, users are given the  opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask  used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as  well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

 

The BEMAG Sascha Behrendt informs its customers and business partners  regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The  enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1)  the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject  registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be  sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first  time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in  procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner  of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the  newsletter.  

 

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP  address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider  (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as  well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this  data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the  e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore  serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

 

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the  newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition,  subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this  is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a  registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of  modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in  technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data  collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription  to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The  consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has  given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the  purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each  newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at  any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate  this to the controller in a different way.

 

 

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the  newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to  optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content  of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject.  These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data  subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate  declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure.  After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the  controller. The BEMAG Sascha Behrendt automatically regards a withdrawal  from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

 

The website of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt contains information that  enables 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 via a contact form, the personal data  transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal  data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data  controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the  data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third  parties.

 

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the  data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of  storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or  other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is  subject to.

 

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period  prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator  expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance  with legal requirements.

 

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether  or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a  data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he  or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or  her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information.  Furthermore, the European directives and regulations grant the data  subject access to the following information:

 

• the purposes of the processing;
• the categories of personal data concerned;
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data  have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third  countries or international organisations;
• where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data  will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that  period;
• the existence of the right to request from the controller  rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing  of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such  processing;
• the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
• where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling,  referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those  cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the  significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data  subject.
 

Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain  information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third  country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the  data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate  safeguards relating to the transfer.

 

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

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the  rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking  into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have  the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by  means of providing a supplementary statement.

 

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

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data  concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have  the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of  the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not  necessary:

 

• The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
• The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based  according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of  Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground 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 unlawfully processed.
• The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal  obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is  subject.
• The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of  information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
 

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject  wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the BEMAG  Sascha Behrendt, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the  controller. An employee of BEMAG Sascha Behrendt shall promptly ensure  that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

 

Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged  pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller,  taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation,  shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform  other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has  requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or  replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not  required. An employees of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt will arrange the  necessary measures in individual cases.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where  one of the following applies:

 

• 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 and the data subject opposes the erasure  of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use  instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of  the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the  establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article  21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification 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 the processing of personal data  stored by the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt, he or she may at any time contact  any employee of the controller. The employee of the BEMAG Sascha  Behrendt will arrange the restriction of the processing.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which  was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and  machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit  those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller  to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing  is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR  or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to  point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out  by automated means, as long as the processing is not 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, in exercising his or her right to data portability  pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the  right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to  another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely  affect the rights and freedoms of others.

 

In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject  may at any time contact any employee of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular  situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or  her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR.  This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

 

The BEMAG Sascha Behrendt 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 establishment,  exercise or defence of legal claims.

 

If the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt processes personal data for direct  marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at  any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such  marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to  such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the BEMAG Sascha  Behrendt to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the BEMAG  Sascha Behrendt 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 by the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt for scientific  or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to  Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the  performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

 

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may  contact any employee of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt. In addition, the data  subject is free in the context of the use of information society  services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her  right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated  processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning  him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as  the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the  performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data  controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to  which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable  measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and  legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit  consent.

 

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the  performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data  controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent,  the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt shall implement suitable measures to safeguard  the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at  least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the  controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the  decision.

 

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning  automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time,  contact any employee of the BEMAG Sascha Behrendt.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European  legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her  personal data at any time.

 

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the  consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the BEMAG  Sascha Behrendt.

   

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of  Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). 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  analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which  a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were  visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web  analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order  to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

 

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

 

For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses  the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the  IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by  Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State  of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on  the European Economic Area.

 

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the  traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information,  inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online  reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other  services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

 

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system  of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With  the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our  website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this  Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a  Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the  information technology system of the data subject will automatically  submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of  online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During  the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains  knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data  subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of  visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

 

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access  time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of  visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our  Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the  Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google  in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by  Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal  data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.  

 

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies  through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment  of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of  cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also  prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information  technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in  use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or  other software programs.

 

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a  collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is  related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this  data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose,  the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link  https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser  add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and  information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to  Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered  an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the  data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the  data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google  Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or  any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or  is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or  reactivation of the browser add-ons.

 

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of  Google may be retrieved under  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under  http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is  further explained under the following Link  https://www.google.com/analytics/.

 

On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube.  YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to  set video clips and other users free of charge, which also provides free  viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish  all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV  broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users  via the Internet portal.

 

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave.,  San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of  Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351,  UNITED STATES.

 

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet  site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube  component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the  information technology system of the data subject is automatically  prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component.  Further information about YouTube may be obtained under  https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this  technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific  sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

 

If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with  each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific  sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This  information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the  respective YouTube account of the data subject.

 

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube  component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data  subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube;  this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video  or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google  is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if  the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a  call-up to our website is made.

 

YouTube's data protection provisions, available at  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information  about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and  Google.

 

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing  operations for 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 party, as is the  case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the  supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based  on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing  operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual  measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products  or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which  processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of  tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(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 of another natural  person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured  in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital  information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other  third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d  GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f  GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not  covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is  necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our  company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden  by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject  which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations  are particularly permissible 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 client of the  controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

 

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f  GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of  the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

 

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data  is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that  period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no  longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation  of a contract.

 

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by  law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual  provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).  Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data  subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be  processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us  with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her.  The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that  the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.  Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject  must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject  whether the provision of the 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 the consequences  of non-provision of the personal data.

 

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