II. Specific Information for the Collection of Personal Data

1. Visiting the website

a) Purpose of data processing

Every time a user accesses a page of our website and every time a file stored on the website is accessed, access data about this process is stored in a log file. Each data record consists of:

(1) browser type and browser version,
(2) used operating system,
(3) referrer URL,
(4) host name of the accessing computer,
(5) time of the server request.

We use this data in order to operate our website, in particular to determine the utilisation of the website and website malfunctions and to make adjustments or improvements. The client IP address is used for the purpose of transmitting the data requested; when no longer technically required, the client IP address will be rendered anonymous by deleting the last block of numbers (Ipv4) or the last octet (Ipv6).

b) Duration of storage

The data is stored each time a user accesses a page of our website and each time our website is accessed and is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection, which is the case at the latest three months after the website visit.

c) Legal basis

The legal basis for temporary storage of the aforementioned data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter GDPR). The legitimate interest lies in the provision of our website.

d) Possibility of objection and elimination

The data subject may object to the processing.

2. Cookies

a) Purpose of data processing

In order to make visiting our website and placing orders technically possible, we transmit so-called cookies to the end device of the data subject. Cookies are small text files that can be used to identify the end device of the data subject, usually by collecting the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent, information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier. By storing the cookie on the device used - without interfering with the operating system - it is recognised and enables us to make any settings available immediately. We use this information to adapt our website and services offered to your needs and to accelerate access to our website.

b) Duration of storage

The storage period of the various cookies varies but does not exceed two years. They are stored on your local end device, not on our server, so the actual deletion time depends on how your browser software is configured. Please refer to the operating instructions of your browser software to find out how you can delete cookies set by us for specific occasions or automatically.

c) Legal basis

The legal basis for the storage of the aforementioned data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest for setting cookies is on the one hand to be able to optimise the quality of our website by way of an analysis and on the other hand to enable the visit of our website. In particular, some functions on our website cannot be used without cookies, because otherwise the user and any settings already made would not be recognised when changing pages, language settings would be lost and searches could not be executed. Furthermore, the legal basis for the storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the execution of the contract.

d) Possibility of objection and elimination

The data subject can block the use of cookies on the end device used or delete them after use. Under certain circumstances, however, individual functions of our offer may not be usable. How cookies can be blocked and cookies that have already been saved can be deleted can be found in the operating instructions of the browser software.

3. Contact form, e-mail, fax or telephone contact

a) Purpose of data processing

A contact form is available on our website. Using this the data subject can contact us electronically and we can process the request. The following data is collected and stored: Company, name, street, postcode/town, e-mail address, telephone number.

A user can contact us by e-mail, fax or telephone. We will store the data transmitted to us and provided by the data subject for processing the request. This data comprises the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and/or fax number, date and time of the enquiry and the description of the request, if necessary contract data, if the enquiry takes place in the context of the conclusion or execution of a contract.

The data will not be passed on to third parties. They serve the purpose of processing the contact request of the data subject.

b) Duration of storage

As soon as the data is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose it was collected for, it will be deleted. This is the case when the conversation has been completed and the facts have been clarified and there are no contractual or tax retention periods to the contrary. This period is five years for personal data subject to Section 147 of the German Tax Code (AO) and ten years for personal data subject to Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). The periods commence at the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected.

c) Legal basis

The legal basis for the storage of the aforementioned data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR only with prior consent within the scope of the enquiry, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR within the scope of contract initiation or performance or pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest of the controller is to be able to process the contact request and to prevent misuse thereof. Consent can be revoked at any time and does not affect the legality of the processing of personal data based on the consent until revocation.

d) Possibility of objection and elimination

The data subject shall have the possibility at any time to revoke his consent to data processing and to object to the storage thereof. The data stored with regard to this process will then be deleted. If a contract has been concluded, the aforementioned points on "conclusion of contract" shall apply.

4. Google Analytics

a) Purpose of data processing

The client IP address is recorded for the use of the Google Analytics service. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files that are stored on the end device of the data subject and that enable the analysis of the use of the website. As a rule, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. Due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, however, the IP address of the data subject will be shortened beforehand by Google within the Member States of the European Union and in other countries which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA first and then shortened. On behalf of the operator of this website Google will use this information in order to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide additional services relating to website and internet use for the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser using Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.

b) Duration of storage

Once the data is no longer needed to achieve the purpose it was collected for it will be deleted, which is the case when the anonymisation, which takes place within the European Union, has been completed. This takes less than one second.

The data sent by us and that is linked to cookies, user identifications (e.g. user IDs) or advertising IDs will be deleted automatically after 14 months. Data that has reached its storage period is deleted automatically once a month.

For more information please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

c) Legal basis

The legal basis for the storage of the aforementioned data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest is to enable us to analyse the use of the website by all users in their entirety without being able to draw conclusions about the behaviour of identifiable individuals; this enables us to optimise our website and the services we offer.

d) Possibility of objection and elimination

The data subject can prevent cookies from being saved by changing the appropriate setting in the browser software; we point out to the data subject, however, that this may mean that he will not be able to use the full functionality of this website. The data subject can also prevent the data generated by the cookie relating to the use of the website (including the IP address) from being recorded and used by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from this link [http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de].

III. Rights of the Data Subject

If personal data concerning the user is processed on our website, the person concerned (data subject) shall have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller pursuant to the GDPR.

1. Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR

The data subject shall have the right to the following information:

a) processing purposes;
b) the categories of personal data being processed;
c) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
d) where possible, the envisaged duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine this duration;
e) the existence of a right to request from the controller rectification or deletion of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing;
f) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
g) where personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to its source;
h) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling referred to in Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR, and, at least in these cases, meaningful information on the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
i) where personal data is transmitted to a third country or international organisation, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR relating to the transmission.

We will provide the data subject with a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies requested by the data subject, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs.

2. Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him. 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.

3. Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

a) the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;

b) the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;

c) the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para.1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR;

d) the personal data has been unlawfully processed;

e) the personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject;

f) the personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 para.1 GDPR.

4. Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

a) 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,

b) the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead;

c) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or

d) the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

5. Right to notification pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR

If the data subject has exercised his right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR or restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR vis-à-vis the controller with regard to personal data concerning him, and if the controller has communicated to each recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed the data subject's request (unless this proved to be impossible or involved disproportionate effort), then the data subject shall have the right to be informed about those recipients by the controller.

6. Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR

The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him, which he has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and shall have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, where

a) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR; and

b) the processing is carried out by automated means.

The rights and freedoms of others may not be adversely affected as a result.

In exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly by us to another controller, where technically feasible.

The exercise of the right to data portability shall be without prejudice to the right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR. The right to data portability shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

We will no longer process the personal data unless we 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.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.

Any consent granted by the data subject may be withdrawn by him at any time. Any collection and processing undertaken until such time remains, however, lawful.

8. Automated individual decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR

The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or similarly significantly affects him.

This shall not apply if the decision:
a) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller;
b) is 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
c) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

Such decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in points a) and c) we 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 our part, to express his point of view and to contest the decision.

9. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

10. Right to an effective judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 79 GDPR

Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, each data subject shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy if he considers that his rights under this regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of his personal data in non-compliance with the GDPR.

Proceedings against us or a processor will be brought before the courts of the Member State where we or the processor have a place of business. Alternatively, such proceedings may be brought before the courts of the Member State where the data subject has his habitual residence, unless we or the processor is a public authority of a Member State acting in the exercise of its public powers.
