Processing of your data within the framework of the craft services provided by us

If you are our customer or business partner or are interested in the services of our craft business, the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your data depends on the contractual or pre-contractual relationship existing between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all data that we request from you or that you provide to us in order to answer your enquiry, to provide you with an offer or to process your order. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, the processing of your data and its disclosure to third parties is limited to the data that is necessary and appropriate to respond to your enquiries and/or to fulfil the contract concluded between you and us, to protect our rights and to comply with legal obligations. We will inform you of the data required for this before or during the data collection process. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

Data concerned:

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)
  • Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices)
  • Contact details (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, postal address)
  • Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, duration of the contract)

Affected persons: Interested parties, business and contractual partners

Purpose of processing: processing of contractual services, communication as well as answering contact requests, office and organisational procedures.

Legal basis: Contract fulfilment and pre-contractual enquiries, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO

Your rights under the GDPR

According to the GDPR, you are entitled to the rights listed below, which you can assert at any time with the controller named in section 1 of this privacy policy:

  • Right to information: You have the right to request information from us about whether and what data we process from you.
  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.
  • Right to restriction: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we only process your data in a restricted manner.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or to another controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
  • Right of complaint: You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters is responsible.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time.

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If you exercise your right of objection, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that compelling reasons worthy of protection for the data processing outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis.

Please address your objection to the contact address of the responsible person given above.

When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that - unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration - we delete your data,

  • if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and therefore the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, for example.
  • after termination of the contractual or membership relations existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or
  • after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data has ceased to exist (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO),
  • if you exercise your right of revocation and no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b-f DSGVO applies,
  • if you make use of your right to object and there are no compelling reasons for deletion that are worthy of protection.

However, if we still need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will only delete (the part of) your data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfilment of retention obligations).

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files consisting of a series of numbers and letters that are placed and stored on the terminal device you are using. Cookies are primarily used to exchange information between the terminal device you are using and our website. This includes, among other things, the language settings on a website, the login status or where a video was watched.

Two types of cookies are used when you visit our websites:

  • Temporary cookies (session cookies): These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after you close your browser. This allows our website to recognise your computer when you return to our website. For example, information on language settings or log-in information is stored in these cookies. In addition, these cookies can be used to document and store your surfing behaviour. This data can be used for statistical, marketing and personalisation purposes.

In addition to the above classification, cookies can also be differentiated with regard to their purpose:

  • Necessary cookies: These are cookies that are absolutely necessary for the operation of our website, to store logins or shopping baskets for the duration of your session or cookies that are set for security reasons.
  • Statistics, marketing and personalisation cookies: These are cookies that are used for analysis purposes or for measuring reach. In particular, information on search terms entered or the frequency of page views can be stored via such "tracking" cookies. In addition, the surfing behaviour of an individual user (e.g. viewing of certain content, use of functions, etc.) can also be stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used to show users content that corresponds to their potential interests. If we use services that store cookies on your terminal device for statistical, marketing and personalisation purposes, we will inform you separately in the following sections of our data protection declaration or when obtaining your consent.

Data concerned:

  • Usage data (e.g. access times, web pages clicked on)
  • Communication data (e.g. information about the device used, IP address).

Data subjects: Users of our online services

Purpose of processing: Playing out our Internet pages, guaranteeing the operation of our Internet pages, improving our Internet offer, communication and marketing.

You can use the security settings of your browser to object to the use of cookies set by us within the scope of our legitimate interest. There you have the option of specifying whether you do not accept cookies from the outset or only accept them on request, or whether you specify that cookies are deleted each time you close your browser. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO
If we ask you to set certain cookies on your end device before you visit our website and you consent to this, the legal basis is the consent you have given. Within the scope of the consent, we will inform you about which cookies we set in detail. If you do not give this consent, we will only set the so-called technically necessary cookies that are required for the proper operation of our Internet pages and their display in your browser. If you have consented to the setting of cookies, you have the option to revoke your consent at any time.

Scaling storage and delivery capacities are made available via the CDN. This optimises the loading times of our internet pages and ensures an optimal data throughput even during large load peaks. User requests on our internet pages are routed via servers of the CDN. Statistics are created from these data streams. On the one hand, this serves to detect potential threats to our internet pages through malware at an early stage and, on the other hand, to continuously improve our offer and to make our internet pages more user-friendly for you as a user.

We would like to point out that, depending on the country of domicile of the service provider mentioned below, the data collected via the service may be transferred and processed outside the area of the European Union.

Web analysis and statistics

We use web analysis services to record and statistically evaluate the flow of visitors to our website. Such services collect, among other things, data about the website from which you have accessed our website (so-called referrers), which pages of our website you have accessed, how long you have visited our pages and which interactions you have carried out there. In addition, data on the browser, computer system and type of device you use are collected. In addition, demographic information such as age or gender can be collected as pseudonymous values via such a service. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider.

In order to collect and store this data, the web analysis service we use usually sets a cookie on the end device you use, which also collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is shortened using a so-called IP masking procedure so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. In addition, no clear data such as names or e-mail addresses are stored. Neither we nor the service we use know the identity of visitors to our website.

We would like to point out that, depending on the country of domicile of the service provider mentioned below, the data collected via the service may be transferred and processed outside the area of the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the GDPR may not be complied with and that the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may be difficult.
