6. Cookies
In some instances, our website and its pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. The purpose of cookies is to make our website more user friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Other cookies will remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can adjust the settings of your browser to make sure that you are notified every time cookies are placed and to enable you to accept cookies only in specific cases, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific situations or generally and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. However, disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing habits) are stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Policy.

7. Collection of data in the system and the creation of log files

7.1. Collection of data in the system and the creation of log files
Access log files and error log files are stored in our web space on the servers of Alphahosting GmbH. These log files contain the IP addresses of visitors to the site and therefore their personal data. The following data is captured there:

•    Website visited
•    Time of the visit
•    Quantity of data sent in bytes
•    Source/link that led you to the site
•    Browser used
•    Operating system used
•    IP address used
•    Guest ID and customer ID for visits to the online shop

This data together with other personal data relating to the user is not stored.

7.2. Legal basis for processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 paragraph 1 point (f) GDPR (balance of interests).

7.3. Purpose of processing
We have the following objectives in processing user data:
The temporary storage of the above information by the system is necessary to enable information to be transferred from the website to the user’s computer. For this the IP address of the user must be stored for the duration of the session. The IP address is also stored to detect and ward off attacks.

Storage of log files takes place in order to secure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes in this context.

For these purposes our legitimate interest in data processing also lies within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1 point (f) GDPR (balance of interests).

7.4. Retention period of data in the system and log files
Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it has been collected.

Where data is collected for accessing the website, this takes place when each session is over.

Where data is stored in log files, this is done after a maximum of 30 days. The IP address of the user is anonymized after 24 hours by setting the last octet to zeros. The IP address is then deleted after a maximum of 7 days. Data in the data bank of the online shop is also deleted after 15 days.

Data can be temporarily stored without anonymization as long as it is needed to protect or defend against legal claims.

7.5. Options for opting out and removal
The capture of data in order to access the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is therefore no option for the user to object.

8. Getting in contact by e-mail

In this case the personal data of the user transferred with the e-mail, the IP address, user agent, date and time are all stored. In this context, also, none of this data is passed on to a third party. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

8.3. Purpose of data processing
The processing by us of personal data contained in the e-mail serves solely to deal with the contact made. This also constitutes the required legitimate interest for processing the data that you have transferred via e-mail.

8.4. Retention period
The data transferred by you via e-mail is deleted as soon as we have taken note of your correspondence or have completely answered your enquiry and the conversation is over. The conversation is over when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been finally clarified. The data can however be temporarily stored as long as it is required for the enforcement, exercise and defense of legal claims or if there is a legal obligation to retain the data. This can be done if a contract has been entered into via e-mail. Your data in particular can then be stored as long as is necessary for the execution of the contact and afterwards, for example, for the enforcement or defense of warranty claims.

8.5. Options for opting out and removal
If you contact us via e-mail, you can opt out of having your personal data stored at any time. In this case, however, the conversation cannot be continued. Please get in contact with us via e-mail to opt out. All personal data stored in the course of this contact will be deleted in this case.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data is passed on to a third country or an international organisation. In this case you can ask to be informed about appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR regarding the sharing of this data.

21.2. Right to rectification
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data held about you rectified by the controller. You also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed. The controller must undertake this rectification without undue delay.

21.3. Right to restriction of processing
GDPR also provides for a right to request restriction of personal data. If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data may only be processed, with the exception of storage, with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If you have obtained restriction of processing in line with the conditions above, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted. You have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

(1)    where you contest the accuracy of your personal data, for a period that enables us as the
         controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2)    where the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal data and request
         from us the restriction of its use instead;
(3)    where we as the controller no longer need your personal data for the purposes of the
         processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
(4)    where you have lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Article 21 paragraph 1
         GDPR but it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller
         outweigh yours.

21.4. Right to erasure
Obligation to erase
You can require us as the controller to erase personal data relating to you without undue delay and we are obliged to erase this data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

(1)    your personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or
        otherwise processed;
(2)    you withdraw your consent on which the processing is based in accordance with Article 6
         paragraph 1 point (a) or Article 9 paragraph 2 point (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for
         the processing;
(3)    you lodge an objection in accordance with Article 21 paragraph 1 GDPR against the processing
         and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you lodge a complaint in
         accordance with Article 21 paragraph 2 GDPR against the processing;
(4)    your personal data has been unlawfully processed;
(5)    the erasure of your personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation in Union or Member State
         law to which the controller is subject;

         in accordance with Article 8 paragraph 1 GDPR.

Information to third parties
If the controller has made public your personal data and if in accordance with Article 17 paragraph 1 GDPR is obliged to erase it, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, this personal data.

Exceptions
There is no right to erasure where processing is necessary

(1)    for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2)    for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to
         which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or
         in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3)    for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9 paragraph 2
         point (h) and (i) and Article 9 paragraph 3 GDPR;
(4)    for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical
         purposes in accordance with Article 89 paragraph 1 GDPR, in so far as the right referred to in
         section (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of
         that processing, or
(5)    for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.


21.5. Right to be informed
If you have claimed the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing by the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification, erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. The controller has a duty to inform you of the identity of these recipients.

21.6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where:

(1)    the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 point (a) GDPR or 9
        paragraph 2 point (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 point (b)
        GDPR and
(2)    the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This right shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right of data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

21.7. Right to object
You have the right to lodge an objection, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data based on Article 6 paragraph 1 point (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to lodge an objection at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also includes profiling insofar that it is associated with such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the option, in relation to the use of information society services – and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to object by automated means using technical specifications.

21.8. Right to withdraw consent to the data protection declaration
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the data protection declaration at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before such withdrawal.

21.9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:

(1)    is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller;
(2)    is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays
        down suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3)    is based on your explicit consent.

However these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9 paragraph 1 GDPR, unless Article 9 paragraph 2 point (a) or (g) applies and suitable measures are in place to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, 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.

21.10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

The supervisory authority responsible for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the Federal State in which the controller is located, in this case, the Data Protection Officer of Saxony: https://www.saechsdsb.de
