简体中文 Privacy policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG. It is generally possible to use the websites of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, will always be carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to 4CR International GmbH & Co KG. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects will be informed about their rights through this privacy policy.
4CR International GmbH & Co KG, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
Definitions
The privacy policy of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG is based on the terminology used by the European Parliament and Council when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as „data subject“). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Affected person
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
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
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
Profiling
Profiling is 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
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.
Data controller
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.
Data processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient
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 enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
Third
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
Consent 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.
Name and address of the controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is the:
4CR International GmbH & Co KG
Donnerstrasse 10B – Haus 1
22763 Hamburg
Germany
Name and address of the data protection officer
The data protection officer of the controller is:
Matthias Scherzer
Donnerstrasse 10B – Haus 1
22763 Hamburg
Germany
Any affected person can contact our Data Protection Officer at any time with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection.
Data transfer encryption
To protect the personal data of the data subject, the controller uses SSL/TLS methods to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries, which the data subject sends to 4CR International GmbH & Co KG. The data subject can recognise the encrypted connection by the address bar of the browser changing from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock icon in the browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data that the data subject transmits to the controller cannot be read by third parties.
Cookies
The websites of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, 4CR International GmbH & Co KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
Cookies can be used to optimise the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
Collection of general data and information
The website of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, 4CR International GmbH & Co KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to correctly deliver (1) the content of our website, (2) to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by 4CR International GmbH & Co KG, on the one hand, statistically and, furthermore, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
Contact options via the website
The website of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG contains information, due to legal regulations, that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general electronic mail (e-mail) address. If a data subject contacts the data controller via e-mail or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data, voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the data controller, will be stored for the purpose of processing or for contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The 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 no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Rights of the data subject
Right to confirmation
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.
Right to information
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information from the controller concerning the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of that information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
- the purposes of processing
- the categories of personal data that are processed
- the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
- where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
- the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing
- the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
- if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
- the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with 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.
Right to rectification
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
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
- The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
- The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
- The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
- The personal data was processed unlawfully.
- The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
- The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
If one of the above-mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the deletion of personal data stored at 4CR International GmbH & Co KG, they may contact a member of staff of the controller at any time for this purpose. The member of staff of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by 4CR International GmbH & Co KG and our company, as controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, 4CR International GmbH & Co KG shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and the costs of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that an data subject has requested from these other controllers the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, in so far as processing is not required. The employee of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG will arrange what is necessary on a case-by-case basis.
Right to restrict processing
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:
- The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
- The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
- The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
- The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If any of the above conditions are met and an affected person wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by 4CR International GmbH & Co KG, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG will arrange for the restriction of processing.
Right to data portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where 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, unless the processing is 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 their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG at any time.
Right to object
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has 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.
4CR International GmbH & Co KG will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If 4CR International GmbH & Co KG processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to 4CR International GmbH & Co KG processing for direct marketing purposes, 4CR International GmbH & Co KG shall no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by 4CR International GmbH & Co KG 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.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of 4CR International GmbH & Co KG or any other employee directly. Furthermore, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, irrespective of Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
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, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is 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 based on the data subject's explicit consent.
Whether the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, 4CR International GmbH & Co KG shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to 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 controller.
Right to withdraw data protection consent
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of 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 controller.
Data protection for applications and in the application process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Data Protection Regulations for the Use and Deployment of Font Awesome (Local Hosting)
This page uses Font Awesome for consistent font display. Font Awesome is installed locally. No connection is made to Fonticons, Inc. servers.
Data protection regulations for the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The data controller uses the addition „_gat._anonymiseIp“ for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymise the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to analyse the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, 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 access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process 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 a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use and Deployment of Google Fonts (Local Hosting)
This page uses so-called Google Fonts, provided by Google, for a uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers is made.
Data protection regulations on the use and application of Google Maps
4CR International GmbH & Co KG has integrated Google Maps onto this website. Google Maps is an online service that provides map data, along with associated functions and information, such as route planners.
The operator of the Google Maps component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of the Google Maps component is to embed interactive maps on our website. Google Maps sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to track the usage of our website by the data subject. With each call of one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and on which a Google Maps component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Maps component to transmit data for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Alphabet Inc. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and to subsequently enable 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. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Personal data and information, including the IP address, which is necessary for the recording and billing of displayed advertisements, are transferred via Google Maps to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data, which was collected via the technical process, to third parties.
Data protection provisions on the use and utilisation of Google reCAPTCHA
4CR International GmbH & Co KG has integrated Google reCAPTCHA into this website. Google reCAPTCHA is an online service that aims to counteract automated misuse of contact options (so-called spam) by analysing user behaviour.
The operating company of the Google reCAPTCHA component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of the Google reCAPTCHA component is to detect and prevent the misuse of data entries by automated systems (e.g., contact forms). To do this, Google reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the affected person on the website based on various characteristics. The analysis begins automatically as soon as the affected person visits a page on which the Google reCAPTCHA component is integrated. The data of the affected person collected during the analysis are transferred to Alphabet Inc. With every access to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google reCAPTCHA component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective Google reCAPTCHA component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of behavioural analysis. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the affected person, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and consequently to enable the detection of automated systems. The analyses carried out by Google reCAPTCHA run with the explicit consent of the affected person, and sometimes without explicitly informing the affected person.
Data protection regulations regarding the use and application of YouTube
The controller has integrated components from YouTube into this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate, and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete films and television shows, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos made by users themselves, can be accessed via the internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
If the affected person is also logged into YouTube, YouTube recognises which specific sub-page of our website the affected person is visiting when calling up a sub-page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the affected person.
YouTube and Google receive information that the data subject has visited our website via the YouTube component whenever the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube at the time of visiting our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want such transmission of this information to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.
Legal basis for processing
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company's processing operations where 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, such as processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, then the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, then the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. The processing would then be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis underpins processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the 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, in particular where the data subject is a child. Such processing operations are permitted us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be presumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, second sentence GDPR).
Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
Duration for which personal data are stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfilment or contract initiation.
Statutory or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide.
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. details of the contractual partner).
Occasionally, it may be necessary for contract conclusion that a data subject provides us with personal data, which will subsequently need to be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject being unable to be concluded.
Before the data subject provides personal data, they must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for concluding a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
The existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
Occasionally, it may be necessary for contract conclusion that a data subject provides us with personal data, which will subsequently need to be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject being unable to be concluded.
Before the data subject provides personal data, they must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for concluding a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
