Data protection

Consent to data processing

Privacy policy

We are pleased that you are visiting this website and thank you for your interest in the services we offer. The interest you have shown us is very important to us and we are therefore committed to handling your data carefully and protecting it from misuse.

To ensure that you feel safe and comfortable when visiting this website, we take the protection of your personal data and its confidential treatment very seriously. We therefore act in accordance with the applicable legislation on the protection of personal data and data security.

The use of the website of ASP Dichtstoffe GmbH ("ASP" for short) is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. 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, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to ASP. 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 we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, ASP has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

Storage periods

We only process and store personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes or for as long as required by statutory retention periods (e.g. commercial and tax regulations). Once the respective storage purpose no longer applies or the statutory periods have expired, the data is routinely deleted or blocked.

Processor

To fulfil our services, we use external service providers (e.g. hosting providers, email service providers, shipping companies) who process the personal data exclusively on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. We will be happy to provide you with a complete list of the processors we use on request.

Technical protective measures

 

  • Encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL)

  • Firewall and intrusion detection systems

  • Access and authorisation concepts for IT systems

  • Regular backups and sustainable data mirroring

  • Virus and malware protection and regular security updates

 

1. definitions

The data protection declaration of ASP is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

  • a) personal data
    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  • b) Data subject
    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
  • c) 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.
  • d) Restriction of processing
    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
  • e) 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
  • f) Pseudonymisation
    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.
  • g) 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.
  • h) Processor
    Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  • i) Recipient
    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 enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
  • j) Third party
    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.
  • k) Consent
    Consent 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 applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is the:

ASP Sealants
represented by the CEO Alexandre Mäder
Schwabenstrasse 50
D86836 - Untermeitingen
Germany
Phone: +49 8232 96940
E-mail: info@asp-dicht.com

3. name and address of the data protection officer

Phone: +49 82157089880
E-mail: info@netitwork.net

Any data subject can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

4. cookies

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

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, ASP 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 optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise 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 taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes. 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.

5. collection of general data and information (log files) when using the website

The ASP website collects a series 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 log files. In particular, the following can be recorded

  • (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 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,
  • (8) Data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, ASP does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to

  • (1) to deliver the content of our website correctly,
  • (2) to optimise the content of our website and to carry out advertising and marketing measures,
  • (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
  • (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.

Therefore, ASP analyses 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.

6. registration on our website, use of contractual services and career portal

You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data and utilising ASP services. Which personal data is transmitted to us in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration and as part of the provision of services.

The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for the provision of contractual services, for advertising and marketing measures and for internal use by the controller and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to us.

Furthermore, by registering on our website

  • (1) the IP address assigned by the data subject's internet service provider (ISP),
  • (2) the date and
  • (3) the time of registration is stored.

This data is stored 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 criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data enables us to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

ASP uses the personal data submitted as part of an application exclusively to process the application for the advertised position. Only those persons involved in the application process will have access to the data. All employees entrusted with data processing are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of the data. With an application, a profile is created in the ASP applicant portal, in which the application is stored for a period of three years, even after the application process for further job advertisements, and which is accessible to all companies in the ASP Group.

We will provide any data subject with information on which personal data about the data subject is stored at any time upon request. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data and applicant profiles at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

7. contact possibility via the website

The website of ASP 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 us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry or contacting the data subject and for the implementation of advertising and marketing measures.

8 Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

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

9 Rights of the data subject

  • a) Right to 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.
  • b) Right to information
    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about him/her and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
  • the purposes of processing
  • the categories of personal data that are processed
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular 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 automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

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

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

  • c) Right to rectification
    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
  • d) 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 was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on 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 Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  • The personal data was processed unlawfully.
  • The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

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

If the personal data has been made public by ASP and our company is obliged to delete the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, ASP shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data from these other data controllers, insofar as the processing is not necessary. An employees of ASP will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary

  • (1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  • (2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • (3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
  • (4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
  • (5) for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • e) 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 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) 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 ASP, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of ASP will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

  • f) Right to data portability
    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has 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 their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this 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 ASP.

  • g) Right to object
    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has 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.

ASP 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 ASP 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 also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to ASP to the processing for direct marketing purposes, ASP 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 ASP 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 ASP or another employee directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

  • h) Automated decisions in individual cases 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, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) 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 (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, ASP 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 controller.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
    Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of 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 controller.

  • j) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
    Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, the data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her 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 or her infringes the GDPR.

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

10. data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymiseIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymise the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to analyse the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, 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 access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process 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 a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is recognised by Google as an objection. If the data subject's IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html can be retrieved. Google Analytics is available at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ explained in more detail.

11. google +1 (Google Plus)

The "google+1" (Google Plus) plug-in is integrated into the ASP website. This is provided and operated by Google Inc. It can be recognised by the button with the "+1" symbol on a white background.

When visiting a website of ASP that contains such a plug-in, the browser usually establishes a direct connection to Google's servers in the USA, which in turn transmits the content of the plug-in to the data subject's browser and integrates it into the website displayed. As a result, the information that the data subject has visited the ASP website is forwarded to Google.

If you are logged in to Google Plus or Google via your personal user account while visiting our website, Google can assign the website visit to this account. By interacting with plug-ins, e.g. by clicking on the button or leaving a comment, this corresponding information is transmitted directly to Google and stored there. If you wish to prevent such data transmission, you must log out of your Google Plus or Google account before visiting our website.

We have no influence on the scope and content of the data that Google collects with the button. We assume that the IP address of the data subject is also recorded and transmitted. Data subjects can find out about the purpose, scope and use of data collection by Google Inc. on their privacy policy. This website can be found at the URL http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html

12th YouTube

This website contains at least one plugin from YouTube, owned by Google Inc, USA. As soon as you visit pages of our website that are equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which specific page of our website you have visited. If you are also logged into your YouTube account, you would enable YouTube to associate your surfing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can exclude this possibility of assignment if you log out of your account beforehand. Further information on the collection and use of your data by YouTube can be found in the privacy policy at www.youtube.com.

13. legal bases of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company 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, with processing operations necessary for the supply 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 for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order 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 their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 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. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

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

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

15. duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.

16. 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 non-provision

We would like to 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 a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us.

For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean 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 one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

17. existence of automated decision-making

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