Note on the transfer of data to data-impaired third countries as well as to uncertified US companies DPF

In particular, we use data protection tools from companies established in non-EU countries, as well as US tools whose suppliers are not certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that, in data protection-impaired third countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We draw your attention to the fact that the United States, as a safe third country, has in principle a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. A data transfer to the United States is therefore permitted when the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has appropriate additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including recipients of data, can be found in this Privacy Statement.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business, we work with various external organizations. On this occasion, the transmission of personal data to these external bodies is sometimes necessary. We only transmit personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally required to do so (e.g., transmission of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transmission in accordance with s. 6, paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transmission of data. In case of recourse to subcontractors, we only transmit the personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid subcontract. In case of joint treatment, a joint treatment contract is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing is only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time. The legality of the processing of data up to the date of withdrawal is not affected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in particular cases and to direct prospecting (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the processing of the data is based on Art. 6, para. 1, point (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to opt for the processing of your personal data for reasons of your particular situation; IT IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO PROFILAGE BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU WILL FIND THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A TREATMENT IS MADE IN THIS DECLARATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY. If you agree, we will no longer treat your personal data in a way that is consistent with your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is based on the determination, exercise or defence of rights in justice (OPPOSITION under Art. 21, para.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS TREATED FOR DIRECT PROSPECTION, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROSPECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH REGARD TO THOSE PROSPECTIONS; IT IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO PROFILING IN THE MEASUREMENT IN WHICH IT IS RELATED TO THIS DIRECT PROSPECTION. IF YOU APPLY, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NOT BE USED MORE FOR DIRECT PROSPECTION (OPPOSITION UNDER ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have a right of complaint to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement. The right of claim shall be exercised without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have the data we process automatedly on the basis of your consent or in execution of a contract delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent technically feasible.

Access, rectification and deletion

Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your registered personal data, their origin and recipients, as well as about the purpose of processing the data and, where appropriate, a right to rectification or deletion of such data. For this, as well as for any other personal data questions, you can contact us at any time.

Right to limitation of treatment

You have the right to request the limitation of the processing of your personal data. For this, you can contact us at any time. The right to limitation of treatment exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify it. During the period of verification, you have the right to request the limitation of the processing of your personal data.

  • If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out illegally, you may request that the processing of the data be restricted instead of being deleted.

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or enforcement of rights in court, you have the right to request the limitation of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.

  • If you have filed an objection under s. 21, para. 1 of the GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and our interests. Until it is established which interests prevail, you have the right to request the limitation of the processing of your personal data.

If you have limited the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from their retention – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending rights in court or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for important reasons in the public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You recognize an encrypted connection to the fact that the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and to the presence of the lock symbol in the browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payments on this website

If, after the conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number in the case of a debit authorization), this data is necessary to process the payment.

Payments made by the current means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, levy) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You recognize an encrypted connection to the fact that the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and to the presence of the lock symbol in the browser bar.

In case of encrypted communication, the payment data you send us cannot be read by third parties.

Opposition to advertising e-mails

We hereby oppose the use of the contact information published in the context of the obligation to provide legal notice for the sending of advertising and information material not expressly requested. Page operators expressly reserve the right to institute legal proceedings in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, e.g. by spam.

Cookies

Our web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies are small data packages and cause no damage to your terminal. They are stored on your terminal either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you remove them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may come from us (owner cookies) or third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain third-party business services into websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies perform different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as some of the website's functions would not work without them (e.g., basket or video display). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies necessary for the electronic communication process, the provision of certain functions you wish (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or the optimization of the website (e.g. audience measurement cookies) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of art. 6, paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR, unless otherwise specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies necessary to provide its services in a technically impeccable and optimized manner. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing shall take place exclusively on the basis of such consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 25(1)(TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

When you access our website, a connection is established with CookieFirst servers to collect your consents and other statements regarding the use of cookies. CookieFirst then saves a cookie in your browser so that you can associate the consents given or their withdrawal. The IP address (anonymized), the browser and operating system user agent and the URL from which the consent was given are processed and integrated into CookieFirst. The data collected in this way is kept until you ask us to delete them, either you remove the CookieFirst cookie yourself, or the purpose of storing the data disappears. The legal obligations of mandatory retention remain unchanged.

CookieFirst transmits personal data to third-party providers. These include a CDN in Slovenia, an IP geolocation service in Romania and accommodation at OVH in Germany and France. CookieFirst has its head office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

CookieFirst is used to obtain the consents legally required for the use of cookies. The legal basis is art. 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, point (c) of the GDPR.

Subcontracting

We have entered into a subcontract (AVV) for the use of the above mentioned service. This is a contract imposed by data protection legislation, which ensures that the provider only processes the personal data of visitors to our website in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The collection of such data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6, paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in technically impeccable display and optimization of its website – for this, server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us requests via the contact form, your data from the application form, including the contact details indicated therein, are stored with us for the purpose of processing the application and for possible additional questions. We do not transmit this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6, paragraph 1, point (b) of the GDPR, where your application is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use the WhatsApp instant messaging service. The supplier is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Communication is done by end-to-end encryption (pair à pair), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from accessing the content of the communication. WhatsApp, however, has access to metadata generated during the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient and time). We also draw your attention to the fact that, according to its own statements, WhatsApp shares the personal data of its users with its US-based parent company Meta. Further information on data processing can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at:https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

WhatsApp is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in as fast and effective a communication as possible with customers, prospects and other commercial and contractual partners (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

This data is grouped into a user ID and associated with the visitor terminal of the site concerned.

Google Analytics also allows us to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. In addition, Google Analytics uses different modelling approaches to complement the data sets collected and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Ads allows us to broadcast advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keywords). In addition, targeted ads may be posted based on user data available from Google (e.g. location data and interests) (audience target). As a website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analyzing which search terms have led to the dissemination of our ads and how many ads have generated corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with s. 6, paragraph 1 (a) of the GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
