Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Karl Verpackungen GmbH. Use of the Karl Verpackungen GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, 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 generally obtain the data subject\u2019s consent.    <\/p>\n<p>The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Karl Verpackungen GmbH. By means of this Privacy Policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy informs data subjects about the rights to which they are entitled.  <\/p>\n<p>As the controller responsible for processing, Karl Verpackungen GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.  <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Definitions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Privacy Policy of Karl Verpackungen GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.  <\/p>\n<p>In this Privacy Policy, we use, among others, the following terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">a) personal data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter \u201cdata subject\u201d). A natural person is considered identifiable if they 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. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">b) data subject<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">c) processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on 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.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">d) restriction of processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">e) profiling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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\u2019s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">f) pseudonymisation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pseudonymisation means 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 is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">g) controller or controller responsible for the processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Controller or controller responsible for the processing means 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 law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">h) processor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">i) recipient<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body to which personal data is 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 law or the law of the Member States shall not be regarded as recipients. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">j) third party<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Third party means 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.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">k) consent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject\u2019s wishes by which the data subject, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Name and address of the controller responsible for the processing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>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:<\/p>\n<p>Karl Verpackungen GmbH<\/p>\n<p>R\u00fcdersdorf 177B<\/p>\n<p>07586 Kraftsdorf<\/p>\n<p>Germany<\/p>\n<p>Tel.: 036606 8860<\/p>\n<p>Email: <span id=\"cloak85e290d7231afb9d919afab1e07fa923\"><a href=\"mailto:info@karl-verpackungen.de\">info@karl-verpackungen.de<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karl-verpackungen.de\/\">http:\/\/www.karl-verpackungen.de<\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Name and address of the Data Protection Officer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Data Protection Officer of the controller responsible for the processing is:<\/p>\n<p>Andre Miller<\/p>\n<p>HSW Gera<\/p>\n<p>Reichsstr. 39<\/p>\n<p>07545 Gera<\/p>\n<p>Germany<\/p>\n<p>Tel.: 036555196716<\/p>\n<p>Email: <span id=\"cloak87a6951c2b43bb6dcc6eb5be5ef16b4e\"><a href=\"mailto:datenschutz@hsw-gera.de\">datenschutz@hsw-gera.de<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Website: www.hsw-gera.de<\/p>\n<p>Any data subject may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Cookies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Karl Verpackungen GmbH website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser. <\/p>\n<p>Many websites 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 string of characters that enables websites and servers to be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers 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.     <\/p>\n<p>By using cookies, Karl Verpackungen GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.<\/p>\n<p>By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the user\u2019s interest. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a 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 handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user\u2019s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.     <\/p>\n<p>The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in 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 programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.   <\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Collection of general data and information<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With each access to the Karl Verpackungen GmbH website by a data subject or an automated system, the website collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server 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 reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system, (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.  <\/p>\n<p>When using this general data and information, Karl Verpackungen GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Karl Verpackungen GmbH on the one hand statistically and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order ultimately 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.   <\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>Registration on our website<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller responsible for the processing by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller responsible for the processing results from the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller responsible for the processing and for its own purposes. The controller responsible for the processing may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, which also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller responsible for the processing.   <\/p>\n<p>By registering on the website of the controller responsible for the processing, the IP address assigned by the data subject\u2019s internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. These data are stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, these data make it possible to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of these data is necessary to safeguard the controller responsible for the processing. These data are not passed on to third parties as a matter of principle unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves criminal prosecution.   <\/p>\n<p>The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller responsible for the processing to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller\u2019s database. <\/p>\n<p>The controller responsible for the processing shall provide any data subject, at any time upon request, with information about which personal data relating to the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller responsible for the processing shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations. All employees of the controller responsible for the processing are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.  <\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>Routine erasure and blocking of personal data<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The controller responsible for the processing processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.<\/p>\n<p>If the purpose of storage no longer applies or 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.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>Rights of the data subject<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">a) Right to confirmation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller responsible for the processing confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">b) Right of access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller responsible for the processing, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"firstItem\">the purposes of the processing<\/li>\n<li>the categories of personal data being processed<\/li>\n<li>the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations<\/li>\n<li>where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period<\/li>\n<li>the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing<\/li>\n<li>the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority<\/li>\n<li>where the personal data is not collected from the data subject: any available information as to its source<\/li>\n<li class=\"lastItem\">the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and\u2014at least in those cases\u2014meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. <\/p>\n<p>If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">c) Right to rectification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed\u2014including by means of a supplementary statement. <\/p>\n<p>If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"firstItem\">The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.<\/li>\n<li>The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.  <\/li>\n<li>The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.  <\/li>\n<li>The personal data has been processed unlawfully.<\/li>\n<li>The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.<\/li>\n<li class=\"lastItem\">The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Karl Verpackungen GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time. The employee of Karl Verpackungen GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay. <\/p>\n<p>If the personal data has been made public by Karl Verpackungen GmbH and our company, as controller, is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Karl Verpackungen GmbH shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested from those other controllers the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The employee of Karl Verpackungen GmbH will arrange what is necessary in each individual case.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">e) Right to restriction of processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"firstItem\">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.<\/li>\n<li>The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.<\/li>\n<li>The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.<\/li>\n<li class=\"lastItem\">The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Karl Verpackungen GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time. The employee of Karl Verpackungen GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">f) Right to data portability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that 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.    <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 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. <\/p>\n<p>To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Karl Verpackungen GmbH at any time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">g) Right to object<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.  <\/p>\n<p>Karl Verpackungen GmbH 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 serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.<\/p>\n<p>If Karl Verpackungen GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Karl Verpackungen GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Karl Verpackungen GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them by Karl Verpackungen GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. <\/p>\n<p>To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Karl Verpackungen GmbH directly or another employee. Furthermore, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object by automated means, using technical specifications, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002\/58\/EC. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing\u2014including profiling\u2014which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, 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\u2019s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject\u2019s explicit consent.<\/p>\n<p>If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject\u2019s explicit consent, Karl Verpackungen GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject\u2019s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.<\/p>\n<p>If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"lastItem firstItem\">i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every data subject 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.<\/p>\n<p>If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>Data protection for applications and in the application process<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The controller responsible for the processing collects and processes applicants\u2019 personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller responsible for the processing electronically or by email. If the controller responsible for the processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with statutory provisions. If the controller responsible for the processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller responsible for the processing conflict with deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).     <\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>Data protection provisions on the use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The controller responsible for the processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came from to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is predominantly used to optimise a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.    <\/p>\n<p>The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.<\/p>\n<p>For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller responsible for the processing uses the add-on &#8220;_gat._anonymizeIp&#8221;. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the data subject\u2019s internet connection is shortened and anonymised by Google if access to our websites is from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. <\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. <\/p>\n<p>Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject\u2019s information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. With each access to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller responsible for the processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject\u2019s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.    <\/p>\n<p>By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. With each visit to our websites, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are 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 on these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties under certain circumstances.   <\/p>\n<p>The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject\u2019s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.  <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and to the processing of these data by Google, and to prevent such collection. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link <a href=\"https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout\">https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout<\/a>. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the data subject\u2019s information technology system is deleted, formatted or newly installed at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or by another person attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.     <\/p>\n<p>Further information and Google\u2019s applicable data protection provisions can be accessed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/\">https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a> and at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/analytics\/terms\/de.html\">http:\/\/www.google.com\/analytics\/terms\/de.html<\/a>. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/de_de\/analytics\/\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/de_de\/analytics\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li>Data protection provisions on the use of Sistrix<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Can be found at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sistrix.de\/sistrix\/datenschutz\/\">https:\/\/www.sistrix.de\/sistrix\/datenschutz\/<\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"12\">\n<li>Legal basis for processing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for 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, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 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 at our premises and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interests. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).               <\/p>\n<ol start=\"13\">\n<li>Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders. <\/p>\n<ol start=\"14\">\n<li>Duration for which personal data is stored<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract. <\/p>\n<ol start=\"15\">\n<li>Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We inform you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject 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 the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.     <\/p>\n<ol start=\"16\">\n<li>Existence of automated decision-making<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privacy Policy We are very pleased about your interest in our company.
