I. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing personal data
We collect and use our users' personal data only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data is generally only carried out with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
The types of data processed are:
– Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)
– Contact details (e.g. email, phone numbers)
– Content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos)
– Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times)
– Metadata/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses)
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Where we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. Where processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
4. Performance of contractual services
We process inventory data (e.g., names, addresses, and contact details of users) and contract data (e.g., services used, names of contact persons, payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and providing services in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR. Entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of a contract. When you use our online services, we store your IP address and the time of each user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not shared with third parties unless it is necessary for pursuing our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR. We process usage data (e.g., the websites of our online service visited, interest in our products) and content data (e.g., entries in the contact form such as name, telephone number, email address) in order to, for example, offer users contract deals. Data is deleted after the expiration of statutory warranty periods and similar obligations. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration. Information in any customer account remains until the account is deleted.
II. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
When you access our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device. The following data is collected for a limited time:
1. Information about the browser type and version used
2. The user's operating system
3. The user's internet service provider
4. The user's IP address
5. Date and time of access
6. Websites from which the user's system accessed our website
The data is stored in our system's log files. This data is only needed for analyzing any malfunctions and is deleted no later than seven days after collection.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not used for marketing purposes, and no conclusions are drawn about your identity. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no right to object for the user.
2. Use of cookies
Our website uses so-called session or flash cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is visited again.
The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify website use for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these functions, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change. Furthermore, if you allow this, we also use so-called persistent cookies, which are used beyond the current session. These cookies, in particular, serve to make the website more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
The user data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to determine your identity or to create user profiles. Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from there to our site. Therefore, as a user, you have full control over the use of cookies, and these cookies are deleted when you close your browser. You can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. If cookies are disabled, some website functions may no longer be available.

This processing is based on our legitimate interests in the secure and efficient operation of our website, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with webgo in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR, which ensures that your data is processed exclusively according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR. The data is stored exclusively on servers within the European Union.

If the restriction is lifted, you will be informed in advance.

c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply insofar as processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obligated to communicate this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority.
7. Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller will no longer process your personal data unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to such processing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. You can exercise your right to object using automated means. To do so, please send an email to our data protection officer.
8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision is necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract, is authorized by Union or Member State law, or is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been taken. In the aforementioned cases, the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to involve a person, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
