We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of paramount importance to the management of karlanders GmbH. Use of the karlanders GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the data subject's consent.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to karlanders GmbH. This privacy policy aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.
As the data controller, karlanders GmbH 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 can always have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of karlanders GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the general public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used beforehand. In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data is 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
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means 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.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
f) 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 is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller
The controller 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 designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
(i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
(j) 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 persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
(k) Consent
Consent means 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 Data Controller
The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:
karlanders GmbH, Holstenplatz 20, 22765 Hamburg, Germany, Tel.: +49 40 209321199, Email: hi@karlanders.io, Website: https://karlanders.de/
3. Cookies
The websites of karlanders GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved 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 of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be associated with the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via its unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, karlanders GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.
Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website to better suit the user's needs. As mentioned above, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials every time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the corresponding setting in their internet browser 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 their internet browser, some functions of our website may not be fully usable.
4. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of karlanders GmbH 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 following data can be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reached our website (known as the referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed on our website by an accessing system, (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 prevent attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, karlanders GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by karlanders GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact Options via the Website
Due to legal requirements, the website of karlanders GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general email address. If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
6. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as long as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.
If the purpose for which the data was stored ceases to exist, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
b) Right of Access
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, free of charge, information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data being 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 right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about
the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject also has 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, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and where 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 their consent on which the processing was based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned grounds applies and a data subject wishes to have their personal data stored by karlanders GmbH erased, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of karlanders GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
If karlanders GmbH has made the personal data public and our company, as the controller, is obligated to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, karlanders GmbH, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data from those other data controllers, insofar as processing is not necessary. The employee of karlanders GmbH will take the necessary steps in each individual case.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject has 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 processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions applies and a data subject wishes to restrict the processing of personal data stored by karlanders GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of karlanders GmbH will then arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. She also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to 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, when exercising her right to data portability pursuant to Article 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.
To assert her right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of karlanders GmbH at any time.
g) Right to object
Every data subject 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.
In the event of such an objection, karlanders GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
If karlanders GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, karlanders GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by karlanders GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact any employee of karlanders GmbH directly. Furthermore, the data subject is free, in connection with the use of information society services and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject has 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 them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between the data subject and a data 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 performing, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, karlanders GmbH 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 to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
8. Data Protection in Applications and the Application Process
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example, by email or via a web form on the website. 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 regulations. If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless other legitimate interests of the data controller preclude deletion. A legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the need to retain evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
9. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Facebook
The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an online social meeting place, a community that typically allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allow the online community to share personal or business-related information. Facebook allows its users to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect with others through friend requests, among other things.
The operator of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the data controller responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Facebook is operated by Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Facebook component automatically prompts the web browser on the user's information technology system to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting.
If the user is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes, with each access of our website by the user and for the entire duration of their visit, which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the user. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information via the Facebook component whenever a data subject visits our website, provided the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of the visit. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If a data subject does not wish for this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.
Facebook's data policy, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings Facebook offers to protect the data subject's privacy. Furthermore, various applications are available that can suppress data transmission to Facebook. Data subjects can use such applications to prevent their data from being sent to Facebook.
Facebook's data policy, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, explains how Facebook collects, processes, and uses personal data. 10. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics involves the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of website visitors. A web analytics service records, among other things, data about which website a data subject came from (known as the referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the extension "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. With this add-on, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject's internet connection when access to our websites is from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Cookies were explained above. By placing the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the respective Google Analytics component automatically prompts the web browser on the data subject's information technology system to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google receives personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission payments.
The cookie stores personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, 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. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may share this personal data collected via this technical process with third parties.
As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of their internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject also has the option to object to and prevent the collection and processing of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to inform Google Analytics that no data or information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google interprets the installation of the browser add-on as an objection. If the data subject's information technology system is subsequently deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of influence, it can be reinstalled or reactivated.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
11. Privacy Policy Regarding the Use of Instagram
The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is an audiovisual platform that allows users to share photos and videos and to further distribute such data on other social networks.
The operating company of Instagram's services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta-button) is integrated, the Instagram component automatically prompts the web browser on the user's information technology system to download a representation of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information about which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting.
If the user is simultaneously logged into Instagram, Instagram recognizes, with each access of our website by the user and for the entire duration of their visit, which specific subpage the user is visiting. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the user. If the user clicks one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted thereby are assigned to the user's personal Instagram account and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component whenever a data subject visits our website, provided the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If a data subject does not wish for this information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.
Further information and Instagram's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
12. Privacy Policy Regarding the Use of Pinterest
The data controller has integrated components of Pinterest Inc. on this website. Pinterest is a social network. A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allow the online community to share personal or business-related information. Pinterest, among other things, allows users of the social network to publish image collections and individual images, as well as descriptions, on virtual pinboards (so-called "pinning"), which can then be shared (so-called "repinning") or commented on by other users.
The operator of Pinterest is Pinterest Inc., 808 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Pinterest component (Pinterest plug-in) has been integrated, the respective Pinterest component automatically prompts the web browser on the user's information technology system to download a representation of the corresponding Pinterest component from Pinterest. More information about Pinterest is available at https://pinterest.com/. As part of this technical process, Pinterest receives information about which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting.
If the data subject is logged into Pinterest at the same time, Pinterest recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits each time they access our website and for the entire duration of their visit. This information is collected by the Pinterest component and assigned by Pinterest to the respective Pinterest account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks a Pinterest button integrated into our website, Pinterest assigns this information to the data subject's personal Pinterest user account and stores this personal data.
Pinterest always receives information via the Pinterest component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Pinterest at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Pinterest component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Pinterest, they can prevent this by logging out of their Pinterest account before accessing our website.
Pinterest's privacy policy, available at https://about.pinterest.com/privacy-policy, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Pinterest.

14. Use of SalesViewer® Technology
This website uses SalesViewer® technology from SalesViewer® GmbH to collect and store data for marketing, market research, and optimization purposes based on the legitimate interests of the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
A JavaScript-based code is used for this purpose, which serves to collect company-related data and its corresponding use. The data collected with this technology is encrypted using a non-reversible one-way function (so-called hashing). The data is immediately pseudonymized and is not used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The data stored within the framework of SalesViewer® is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent its deletion.

An opt-out cookie will then be placed on your device for this website. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will need to click this link again.
15. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company's processing operations where 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 necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that necessitates the processing of personal data, such as for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(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 on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
16. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party in the processing
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
17. Duration for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
18. Legal or contractual requirements for providing personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, concluding a contract may require a data subject to provide us with personal data, which we then need to process. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide this personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject 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 necessary for entering into the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
