We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data
protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the GoMobile
Solutions. The use of the Internet pages of the GoMobile Solutions is possible
without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use
special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could
become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data
subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or
telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data
protection regulations applicable to the GoMobile Solutions. By means of this data
protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of
the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection
declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the GoMobile Solutions 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 may in
principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this
reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative
means, e.g. by telephone.
The data protection declaration of the GoMobile Solutions is based on the terms
used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and
understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business
partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal
data is processed by the controller responsible for the 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.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of
limiting their processing in the future.
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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s
performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests,
reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
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.
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.
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body
which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
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
inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as
recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in
compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of
the processing.
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.
Consent of the data subject 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.
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),
other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and
other provisions related to data protection is:

The Internet pages of the GoMobile Solutions use cookies. Cookies are text files
that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites 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
character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the
specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited
Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats
subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet
browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the GoMobile Solutions 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 optimized
with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our
website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to
utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter
access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the
website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another
example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store
remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a
cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our
website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may
thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may
be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is
possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the
setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website
may be entirely usable.
The website of the GoMobile Solutions collects a series of general data and
information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This
general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be
(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 referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the
Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet
service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and
information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology
systems.
When using these general data and information, the GoMobile Solutions 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 as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our
information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law
enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in
case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the GoMobile Solutions analyzes 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.
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller
with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the
controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The
personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for
internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request
transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal
data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal
data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or
services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the
matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data
specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted
from the data stock of the controller.
On the website of the GoMobile Solutions, users are given the opportunity to
subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose
determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is
ordered from the controller.
The GoMobile Solutions informs its customers and business partners regularly by
means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only
be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address
and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation
e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first
time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure.
This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as
the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the
computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data
subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the
registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the
(possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it
therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will
only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may
be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the
newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the
event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in
technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the
newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be
terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal
data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked
at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found
in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any
time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the
controller in a different way.
The newsletter of the GoMobile Solutions contains so-called tracking pixels. A
tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in
HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical
analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the
embedded tracking pixel, the GoMobile Solutions may see if and when an e-mail was
opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data
subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters
are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the
newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the
interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third
parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate
declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a
revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The GoMobile
Solutions automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a
revocation.
The website of the GoMobile Solutions 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 the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the
personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such
personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data
controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.
There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The GoMobile Solutions offers users the possibility to leave individual comments
on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the
controller. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or
more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts
in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the
comments made by the data subject are also stored and published, as well as
information on the date of the commentary and on the user’s (pseudonym) chosen by
the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address
takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights
of third parties, or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of
these personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of the data controller, so
that he can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data
will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or
serves the aim of the defense of the data controller.
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject
only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this
is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to
which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by
the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data
are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
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.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to
obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at
any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European directives and
regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:
Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to
whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international
organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be
informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to 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.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to
obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate
personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the
processing, the data subject shall have 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, he or she may,
at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
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:
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to
request the erasure of personal data stored by the GoMobile Solutions, he or she
may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of GoMobile
Solutions shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with
immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to
Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of
available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps,
including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal
data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links
to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not
required. An employees of the GoMobile Solutions will arrange the necessary measures
in individual cases.
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:
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 the GoMobile
Solutions, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The
employee of the GoMobile Solutions will arrange the restriction of the processing.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to
receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller,
in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have 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 his or her right to data portability pursuant to
Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal
data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible
and when doing so 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 the GoMobile Solutions.
Each data subject shall have 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.
The GoMobile Solutions 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 the GoMobile Solutions 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 applies to profiling to
the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects
to the GoMobile Solutions to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the
GoMobile Solutions 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 the GoMobile Solutions 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 the GoMobile Solutions. In addition, the data subject is free in the
context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive
2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical
specifications.
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, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering
into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data
controller, or (2) is not 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 not 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, the GoMobile Solutions 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 GoMobile
Solutions.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to
withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her 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 GoMobile Solutions.
The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for
the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also
be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant
submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on
the website to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment
contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of
processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no
employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the
application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of
the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller
are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a
burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise
Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online
community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in
a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of
opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or
business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the
creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend
requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA
94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the
controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour,
Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which
is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook
plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of
the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding
Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all
the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical
procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was
visited by the data subject.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a
visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at
the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs
regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If
such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data
subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account
before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection,
processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there
what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In
addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the
elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the
data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is
an online service which allows the placement of advertising on third-party sites.
Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on
third-party sites to match with the content of the respective third-party site.
Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is
implemented by means of generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of Google’s AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The purpose of Google’s AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on
our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of
the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of
the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each
call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by
the controller and into which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically
submit data through the Google AdSense component for the purpose of online
advertising and the settlement of commissions to Alphabet Inc. During the course of
this technical procedure, the enterprise Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal
data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., inter
alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create
commission settlements.
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 an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. Additionally, cookies already in
use by Alphabet Inc. may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software
programs.
Furthermore, Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel
is a miniature graphic that is embedded in web pages to enable a log file recording
and a log file analysis through which a statistical analysis may be performed. Based
on the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. is able to determine if and when a
website was opened by a data subject, and which links were clicked on by the data
subject. Tracking pixels serve, inter alia, to analyze the flow of visitors on a
website.
Google AdSense is further explained under the following link
https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/.
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics
(with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web
analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of
visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the
website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were
visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are
mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a
cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre
Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the
application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of the
Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when
accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another
Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our
website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the
use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our
websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for
us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data
subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the
cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to
one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically
submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online
advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this
technical procedure, the enterprise 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 the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website
by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data,
including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be
transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal
data collected through the technical procedure 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 an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in
use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other
software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of
data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this
website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude
any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under
the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser
add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information
about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The
installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the
information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or
newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable
Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any
other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it
is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser
add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may
be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained
under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component.
Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place on
the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with
each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform
for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to
provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social
network to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network
through friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain
View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is
operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the
Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject
automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google
through the respective Google+ button component. During the course of this technical
procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited
by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available under
https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes
with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of
his or her stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page
were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+
button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account associated with
the data subject.
If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and
thus gives a Google+ 1 recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the
personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly
available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject
in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject
on this website together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name
used by the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on other
Google services, such as search-engine results of the Google search engine, the
Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in
relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website
with other personal data stored on Google. Google further records this personal
information with the purpose of improving or optimizing the various Google
services.
If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she
may prevent such transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling
up our website.

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is
a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google
search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an
advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google’s
search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to
retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the
ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into
account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy,
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of
relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine
results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on
our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is
filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The
definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity
after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not
expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the
shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the
conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person
who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or
canceled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is
used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics
are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served
through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to
optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords
advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data
subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages
visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data,
including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is
transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal
data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website,
as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet 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 conversion cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by
Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software
programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based
advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the
browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired
settings.

On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an
online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal
accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able
to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal
account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are
no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to
third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and
offers buyer protection services.
If the data subject chooses “PayPal” as the payment option in the online shop
during the ordering process, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject
to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer
of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name,
address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other
data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also
requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order.
The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention.
The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate
interest in the transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal
and the controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by PayPal to
economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and
creditworthiness checks.
PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service
providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill
contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.
The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of
personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on
personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with
(contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves 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, when processing operations are
necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is
based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations
which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the
case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a
legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the
fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital
interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case,
for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health
insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor,
hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit.
d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) 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. Such processing operations
are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the
European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if
the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our
legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all
our employees and the shareholders.
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the
respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the
corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for
the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g.
tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on
the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides
us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject
is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a
contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the
consequence 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
any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject 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 the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
