We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as well as all other applicable legal provisions.

We only transfer your personal data to third parties in the following cases:

  • The transfer takes place in compliance with a legal requirement under which we are obliged to report or pass on the data.
  • The transfer of data takes place to external companies that act as order processors on our behalf or that act on our behalf (this concerns, for example, courier and logistics companies, call centres, external computer centres, EDP and IT applications, website management, auditing services, credit institutions, data disposal, etc.).
  • The transmission of data to third parties takes place on the basis of your consent.
  • Data is transferred for the purpose of processing a contractual relationship with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR (e.g. to an affiliated company within the group (cf. item 2) or a subcontractor or to a logistics company).

5. Deletion of data and duration of storage

In principle, we process and store your data only for the duration of our business relationship, including the initiation and execution of the contract as well as the statutory retention periods.

If the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations and rights, it is regularly deleted, unless its – temporary – further processing is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes listed above for an overriding legitimate interest.

Insofar as individual processing of personal data requires other deletion periods, these are mentioned in the description of the individual processing operations under section B.

6. Processing of your data in a third country

Data is only transferred to bodies in third countries (states outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) if it is necessary for the execution of an order/contract from or with you, if it is required by law (e.g. reporting obligations under tax law), if appropriate data protection levels exist or if you have given us your consent.

The processing of your data in a third country may also be carried out in connection with the involvement of service providers as part of commissioned processing. If there is no EU Commission decision on an adequate level of data protection for the country in question, we will ensure through appropriate contracts that your rights and freedoms are adequately protected and guaranteed. For more detailed information, please refer to the individual descriptions of the processing operations under section B.

Information on the appropriate or adequate safeguards and on the possibility of obtaining a copy from you can be obtained from the Data Protection Officer upon request.

7. Your rights as a data subject

Upon request, we will provide you with written or electronic information as to whether and which of your personal data is stored with us (Art. 15 GDPR) and we will check your entries for deletion (Art. 17 GDPR), correction (Art. 16 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and transfer (Art. 20 GDPR) of your personal data and execute them if the conditions are met.

datenschutz@remondis.de

Insofar as you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is carried out unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). A list of the data protection officers and their contact details can be found under the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/anschriften_table.html.

8. Information on the right to object

We will then in any case no longer process the personal data for the purposes of direct marketing or related profiling and furthermore not for other purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation.

If possible, you should send your objection to the following contact address:

datenschutz@remondis.de

The same applies if you have given your consent to the collection or use of personal data and wish to revoke it. You can revoke such consent at any time with effect for the future by e-mail or letter.

  • Operating system of the retrieving computer
  • Browser version of the retrieving computer
  • Name of the retrieved file

In addition to the voluntary information and the content of your message, we require the following information from you:

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Insofar as contact is made to initiate contractual relations, the legal basis is Art. 6 para.1 lit. b) GDPR.

3. Newsletter subscription

You are given the opportunity to sign up to our newsletters when you visit our websites. We only send newsletters and electronic communications containing advertising material if the recipient has given us their consent or we are legally permitted to do so. Our newsletters contain information about our services, our company and the latest happenings in our industry.

Signing up for our newsletters involves the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. an email is sent to you after you sign up asking you to confirm your subscription. All you need to do to sign up to a newsletter is to enter your email address. (add to this if further information is required). A record is kept of your subscription to our newsletter so that we are able to prove that the sign-up process fulfilled all legal requirements. This includes recording and storing what time you signed up, what time you confirmed your subscription and your IP address. A record is also kept of the changes made to your data that is stored at the service provider responsible for sending out our newsletters. In addition, the following data is recorded and stored throughout the time you are signed up to receive our newsletters:

  • Which newsletters were sent by email and which newsletters were unable to be successfully delivered (so-called "email bounces")

Our newsletters are sent via the US service provider Amazon Web Services Inc., 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109-5210, USA. The data processing takes place on the server in Frankfurt a.M. You can view the company‘s Privacy Policy here: https://aws.amazon.com/de/compliance/germany-data-protection/ This service provider has been appointed based on our legitimate interest to have our newsletter sent via secure means as per Art. 6, Para. 1(f) GDPR and on a data processing agreement in acc. with Art. 28, Para. 3 sentence 1 GDPR.

Our newsletters are sent based on the consent given by the recipient in acc. with Art. 6, Para 1(a) and Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7, Para. 2 No. 3 ‘UWG‘ [Act against Unfair Competition] as well as statutory authorisation in acc. with Art. 7 Para. 3 UWG. The sign-up process is recorded and stored based on our legitimate interest as set out in Art. 6, Para. 1(f) GDPR. Our interest here is to have a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of the users and also enables us to provide proof that consent has been given.

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter and withdraw your consent whenever you wish. An unsubscribe link can be found at the bottom of all our newsletters. Based on our legitimate interests, we can store the email addresses of unsubscribed recipients for up to three years before deleting them in order to be able to prove that they had previously given their consent. The only time this data is processed is in defence of any possible legal claims.

4. Matomo

On our websites we use a version of Matomo which is implemented on our own servers. This is an open source analysis software for the purpose of statistical evaluation of visitor access. Based on this evaluation, we particularly wish to track which of our sites are accessed and how often, but not by whom they are accessed. The implementation of Matomo on our servers does not use any cookies. We only store anonymised user data for collecting general statistical values, without comprehensively analysing user behaviour. A comprehensive analysis of user behaviour is also not possible due to the anonymised collection of the data. The IP address transmitted in the server log-in is anonymised on our server before it is transmitted to the Matomo installation and replaced by a random IP address. It is not possible to trace the IP address using the anonymised data, as time entries are randomised by the Matomo installation.

The purpose of the processing is the statistical analysis of user behaviour to optimise the functionality of our websites. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement of our website.

The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.
