PRIVACY

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the following publisher of this website: Muellermation Group. The use of the Internet pages of the Muellermation Group is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, 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 Muellermation Group. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
 

As the controller, the Muellermation Group 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.

 

 

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of the Muellermation Group 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.
 

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

1) 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.
 

2) Data subject

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

3) 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, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
 

4) Restriction of processing

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

5) Profiling
 

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

6) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
 

7) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

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.
 

8) Processor

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

9) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or national law are not considered recipients.

10) Third party

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

11) Consent

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.

 

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws in force in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

Publisher: Muellermation Group
 

Address:

Schumannstr. 27

Tel.: +49 (0) 800 000 888 6
 

E-mail: contact@muellermation-group.com

Website: muellermation-group.com

 

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of the Muellermation Group use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in 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 for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Muellermation Group can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is done 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 remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
 

When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analytical purposes and their consent to the processing of personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, there is also a reference to this privacy policy.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
 

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in 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 Muellermation Group website collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The (1) 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 this general data and information, Muellermation Group does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. 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. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore statistically and further evaluated by Muellermation Group with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to also ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
 

In addition, the following personal data is also collected, provided that the express permission of the users concerned has been obtained and the applicable data protection regulations are complied with:

First and last names of users

Information about the place of residence (postcode, etc.)

The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offering.
 

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, to improve our online services, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your internet provider. The anonymization of the data means that it is not possible to draw any conclusions about your person. This does not apply to the user's IP address or other data that would allow the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

 

5. SSL encryption

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

 

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the Muellermation Group website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
 

The Muellermation Group informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the person concerned if (1) the person concerned has a valid e-mail address and (2) the person concerned registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter delivery using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
 

When registering 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 registration, as well as the date and time of 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 during registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical conditions. There is no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The data subject can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter distribution can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible at any time to unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller of this in another way.
 

Parts of our newsletter may contain advertising material.

 

7. Newsletter tracking

The Muellermation Group's newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Muellermation Group may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
 

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, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Muellermation Group automatically regards a cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

 

8. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored solely for internal use by the controller and for the controller's own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service, which will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal purpose attributable to the controller.

Furthermore, when a data subject registers on the controller's website, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are 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 provision of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the database 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.

 

9. Contact possibility via the website

The website of the Muellermation Group 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.

 

10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

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

 

11. Rights of the data subject

1) Right of confirmation

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.
 

2) Right of access

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:

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 organization. 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.
 

3) Right to rectification

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.

4) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

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 on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), 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 information society services offered pursuant to 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 Muellermation Group, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of Muellermation Group 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 the implementation costs, appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data from those other data controllers, unless the processing is necessary. An employee of Muellermation Group will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
 

5) Right to restriction of processing

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 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 Muellermation Group, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the Muellermation Group will arrange the restriction of the processing.

6) Right to data portability
 

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. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) 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, in exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of the Muellermation Group at any time.
 

7) Right to object

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 Muellermation Group 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 defense of legal claims. If the Muellermation Group 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 Muellermation Group to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the Muellermation Group 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 Muellermation Group 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 Muellermation Group. 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.
 

8) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

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 authorized 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. performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized 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 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 Muellermation Group 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 Sympany AG.
 

9) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Every data subject whose personal data is processed has the right, granted by the European directive and regulation maker, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

 

12. Data protection for applications and the application procedures

The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Another legitimate interest in this sense, for example, is a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (GETA).

 

13. Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
 

The purposes of the data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the internet, further related services are then to be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.
 

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics.

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device.

14. Use of libraries (web fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing way across browsers, we use web 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 loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prohibits access, content will be displayed in a default font.

Accessing libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – for the operators of such libraries to collect data.

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

 

15. Use of Adobe Typekit

We use Adobe Typekit for the visual design of our website. Typekit is a service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd. that gives us access to a font library. To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must establish a connection to an Adobe server in the United States and download the font required for our website. This informs Adobe that our website has been accessed from your IP address. Further information about Adobe Typekit can be found in the Adobe privacy policy, which you can access here: www.adobe.com/privacy/typekit.html

 

16. Payment method

 

1) Klarna: The data controller has integrated Klarna components into this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchases on account or flexible installment payments. Klarna also offers additional services, such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks.

 

Klarna's operating company is Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

 

If the data subject selects either “purchase on account” or “hire purchase” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to Klarna. By selecting one of these payment options, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for the processing of the invoice or hire purchase or for identity and credit checks.
 

The personal data transmitted to Klarna is usually first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, as well as other data necessary for the processing of an invoice or installment purchase. Personal data related to the respective order are also necessary to process the purchase contract. In particular, there may be a mutual exchange of payment information, such as bank details, card number, expiry date and CVC code, number of items, item number, data on goods and services, prices and taxes, information on previous purchasing behavior or other information on the financial situation of the person concerned.
 

The purpose of the data transfer is, in particular, to verify identity, to administer payments and to prevent fraud. The controller will transfer personal data to Klarna in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between Klarna and the controller will be transferred by Klarna to credit reference agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to verify identity and creditworthiness.
 

Klarna also passes on personal data to affiliated companies (Klarna Group) and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.
 

In order to decide on the establishment, execution or termination of a contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses data and information about the previous payment behavior of the data subject as well as probability values for their behavior in the future (so-called scoring). The calculation of the scoring is carried out on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures.
 

The data subject has the option to revoke consent to the handling of personal data by Klarna at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

Klarna's current data protection provisions can be found at cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/data/de_de/data_protection.pdf.

 

2) Sofortüberweisung: The data controller has integrated Sofortüberweisung components into this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment for products and services on the internet. Sofortüberweisung is a technical procedure by which the online merchant immediately receives a payment confirmation. This enables a merchant to deliver goods, services or downloads to the customer immediately after the order.

 

The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany.

 

If the data subject selects “immediate transfer” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data of the data subject will be transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.
 

When the purchase is processed via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and the TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online merchant after technically checking the account balance and retrieving further data to check the account coverage. The online merchant is then automatically notified when the financial transaction has been carried out.
 

The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung is first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer other personal data, even if a legitimate interest in the transmission exists.

17. Google Ads

This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

As part of Google Ads, we use a tool called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
 

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out of this use by simply disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie on your web browser under User Settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
 

For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

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

 

 

18. Legal basis for processing
 

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR 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 any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor 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 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I 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. In this regard, 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, GDPR).

 

 

19. Legitimate interests in the processing being pursued by the controller or a third party

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.

 

 

20. Duration for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.

 

 

21. legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing it

We will inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, he or she must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

 

 

22. Amendment of the data protection policy

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

 

23. Existence of automated decision-making

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