3. General information and mandatory information<\/h2>

Data protection<\/h3>

The operators of these sites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.<\/p>

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.<\/p>

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating via email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.<\/p>

Note on the responsible body<\/h3>

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:<\/p>

Thomas Vogel
Eisgasse 18
55278 Uelversheim<\/p>

Telephone: 0175 7246 486
Email: t.vogel@consultingeinkauf.com<\/p>

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).<\/p>

Storage period<\/h3>

Unless a specific storage period is specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); In the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.<\/p>

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website<\/h3>

If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special data categories are processed in accordance with Art. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 Paragraph 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing can also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Information about the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this data protection declaration.<\/p>

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries<\/h3>

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.<\/p>

Revocation of your consent to data processing<\/h3>

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.<\/p>

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)<\/h3>

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).<\/p>

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).<\/p>

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority<\/h3>

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.<\/p>

Right to data portability<\/h3>

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only where technically feasible.<\/p>

Information, deletion and correction<\/h3>

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.<\/p>

Right to restriction of processing<\/h3>

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:<\/p>

  • If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.<\/li>
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.<\/li>
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.<\/li>
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.<\/li><\/ul>

    If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may\u2014with the exception of storage\u2014only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.<\/p>

    SSL or TLS encryption<\/h3>

    For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content\u2014such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator\u2014this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http:\/\/" to "https:\/\/" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.<\/p>

    When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.<\/p>

    Objection to Promotional Emails<\/h3>

    We hereby object to the use of contact details published in compliance with mandatory legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, such as via spam emails.<\/p>
