3. General information on data processing
Legal basis for processing
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g., inquiries about our products or investments), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation (e.g., tax obligations), Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company and your interests do not override it, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis (e.g., for the operation and security of the website).
Duration of storage
Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you revoke your consent or request deletion, your data will be deleted unless there are other legally permissible reasons for storage (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law).
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the lock symbol in your browser bar and by the fact that the browser's address bar changes to "https://".
Notice on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We may use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there.
For the USA, the EU Commission has adopted an adequacy decision in the form of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If a US company is certified under the DPF, an adequate level of data protection applies.
For other third countries without an adequacy decision or if a provider is not certified, we ensure an adequate level of data protection through appropriate safeguards, usually through the conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or through your explicit consent.
4. Data collection when visiting the website
Hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers.
Our hoster is:
ALL-INKL.COM, Hauptstraße 68, D-02742 Friedersdorf
The hoster is used in the interest of ensuring the secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Contract Processing
We have concluded a contract for contract processing (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Server Log Files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
-
Browser type and version
-
Operating system used
-
Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
-
Hostname of the accessing computer
-
Date and time of the server request
-
IP address (possibly in anonymized form)
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of our website, as well as in ensuring system security and stability. The log files are deleted after 14 days.
5. Cookies and consent (TTDSG)
Use of Cookies
Our website uses "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that are stored on your device.
Technically necessary cookies (e.g., for language settings or cookie consent) are stored on the basis of Section 25 (2) No. 2 of the German Telemedia Act (TTDSG). The associated personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the error-free provision of the service).
All other (non-essential) cookies (e.g., for analysis or marketing) are only stored with your express consent on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Cookie Consent Tool (Consent Management)
This website uses cookie consent technology to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies and to document this consent in compliance with data protection regulations.
This technology is provided by Usercentrics, Cookiebot.
This technology is used to obtain the legally required consent (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR).
You can adjust your settings at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
6. Contact and communication
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures (this applies in particular to inquiries about our products or investment initiations). In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
The data will remain with us until the purpose for storing it no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
7. Handling applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us. We process your data exclusively for the purpose of deciding whether to establish an employment relationship.
The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship) and Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR (general contract initiation).
If we are unable to make you a job offer, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted for up to six months from the end of the application process based on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR). This storage serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute.
8. Analysis tools
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics is used exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG).
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses or occurs because Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Google.
9. Plugins and tools
Google Fonts (Web Fonts)
This website uses so-called web fonts from Google for the consistent display of fonts.
When you visit a page, your browser downloads the required web fonts from Google's servers. This allows Google to know your IP address. This may also involve transmission to the USA. Use only with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG.
