We are delighted that you have shown interest in our business.
Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management
of Swain & Rands Limited. The use of the Internet
(WEB) pages of Swain & Rands Limited is possible
without any indication of personal data; however, if a data
subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website,
processing of personal data may become necessary. If the
processing of personal data is necessary, and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent
from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail
address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in
line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in
accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations
applicable to Swain & Rands Limited. Utilising
this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to
inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the
personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data
subjects are informed through this data protection declaration, of
the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, Swain & Rands Limited has
implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to
ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed
through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions
may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may
not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to
transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by
telephone.
Definitions
The data protection declaration of
Swain & Rands Limited is based on the terms
used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection
declaration should be legible and understandable for the general
public, as well as our customers and business partners. To
ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology
used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, among other things,
the following terms:
A) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (“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.
B) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person,
whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible
for the processing.
C) 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.
D) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data
with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
E) Profiling
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's
performance at work, economic situation, health, personal
preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or
movements.
F) 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.
G) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
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.
H) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency
or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the
controller.
I) 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
inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not
be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those
public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable
data protection rules according to the purposes of the
processing.
J) Third party
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.
K) Consent
Consent of the data subject 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
Controller for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),
other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the
European Union and other provisions related to data protection
is:

data protection.
Cookies
The Internet pages of Swain & Rands Limited use
cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer
system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites 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 character string through which Internet
pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser
in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites
and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data
subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A
specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified using
the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies,
Swain & Rands Limited can provide the users of
this website with more user-friendly services that would not be
possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website
can be optimised with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as
previously mentioned, to recognise our website users. The purpose
of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilise our
website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to
enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this
is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the
user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a
shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the
articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart
via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies
through our website employing a corresponding setting of the
Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting
of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any
time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is
possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject
deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used,
not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
Collection of general data and information
The website of Swain & Rands Limited collects a
series of general data and information when a data subject or
automated system calls up the website. This general data and
information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be
(1) the 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 referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the
date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an
Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet
service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other
similar data and information that may be used in the event of
attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information,
Swain & Rands Limited 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 as well
as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of
our information technology systems and website technology, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information
necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.
Therefore, Swain & Rands Limited analyses anonymously collected
data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the
data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to
achieve 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.
Registration on our website
The data subject has the ability to register on the website of the
controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal
data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the
respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data
entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively
for internal use by the controller and for his own purposes. The
controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a
parcel service) that also use personal data for an internal
purpose, which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP
address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used
by the data subject—date and time of the registration are also
stored. The storage of this data takes place against the
background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our
services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate
committed offences. Insofar, as the storage of this data is
necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to
third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on
the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal
prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary
indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller
to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be
offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in
question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data
specified during the registration at any time, or to have them
completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon
request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored
about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall
correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the
data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage
obligations. A Data Protection Officer particularly designated in
this data protection declaration, as well as the entirety of the
controller’s employees, are available to the data subject in this
respect as contact persons.
Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of Swain & Rands Limited, users
are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s
newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what
personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is
ordered from the controller.
Swain & Rands Limited informs its customers and
business partners regularly through a newsletter about enterprise
offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the
data subject if
(1) the data subject has a valid
e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the
newsletter.
shipping.
A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address
registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter
shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure.
This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the
owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorised to
receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP
address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the
registration, as well as the date and time of the registration.
The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand
the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a
later date, and it, therefore, serves the aim of the legal
protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the
newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition,
subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long
as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service
or registration in question, as this could be the case in the
event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of
a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of
personal data collected by the newsletter service to third
parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by
the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of
personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the
newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of
revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each
newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter
at any time directly on the website of the controller or to
communicate this to the controller in a different way.
Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of Swain & Rands Limited contains
so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic
embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable
log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical
analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns.
Based on the embedded tracking pixel,
Swain & Rands Limited may see if and when an
e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail
were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in
the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order
to optimise the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt
the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of
the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to
third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke
the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of
the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal
data will be deleted by the controller.
Swain & Rands Limited
automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the
newsletter as a revocation.
Contact possibility via the website
The website of Swain & Rands Limited contains
information that enables a quick electronic contact to our
enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also
includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail
(e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by
e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the
data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data
transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data
controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting
the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to
third parties.
Subscription to comments in the blog on the website
The comments made in the blog of
Swain & Rands Limited may be subscribed to by
third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a
commenter subscribes to the comments following his comments on a
particular blog post.
If a data subject decides to subscribe to the option, the
controller will send an automatic confirmation e-mail to check the
double opt-in procedure as to whether the owner of the specified
e-mail address decided in favour of this option. The option to
subscribe to comments may be terminated at any time.
Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data 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 is not applicable, or if a storage period
prescribed by the European legislator or another competent
legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or
erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Rights of the data subject
A) Right of 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 our Data
Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.
B) Right of access
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller free information about
his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this
information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations
grant the data subject access to the following information: the
purposes of the processing; the categories of personal data
concerned; 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 the
right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority; where the
personal data are not collected from the data subject, any
available information as to their source; the existence of
automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in
Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases,
meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the
significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the
data subject. Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to
obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to
a third country or an international organisation. Where this is
the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of
the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data
subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she
may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another
employee of the controller.
C) Right to rectification
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the
rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.
Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data
subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data
completed, including by means of providing a supplementary
statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to
rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data
Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.
D) 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 is no longer necessary in relation to the
purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent to 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 in accordance with
Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate
grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the
processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal
obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is
subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of
information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the
GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject
wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by
Swain & Rands Limited, he or she may at any time
contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the
controller. The Data Protection Officer of
Swain & Rands Limited or another employee shall
promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with
immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged
pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the
controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of
implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical
measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data
that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of
any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as
far as processing is not required. The Data Protection Officer of
Swain & Rands Limited or another employee will arrange the
necessary measures in individual cases.
E) Right of restriction of 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
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) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate
grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the conditions as mentioned above is met, and a data
subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of
personal data stored by Swain & Rands Limited, he or she may at
any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee
of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of Swain & Rands
Limited or another employee will arrange the restriction of the
processing.
F) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her,
which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used
and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to
transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from
the controller to which the personal data have been provided. As
long as 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, as
long as 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.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability
pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have
the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one
controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing
so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject
may at any time contact the Data Protection Officer designated by
Swain & Rands Limited or another employee.
G) Right to object
Each data subject shall have 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.
Swain & Rands Limited shall no longer process the
personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can
demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which
override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject,
or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If Swain & Rands Limited processes personal data
for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the
right to object at any time to the processing of personal data
concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to
profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct
marketing. If the data subject objects to
Swain & Rands Limited to the processing for
direct marketing purposes,
Swain & Rands Limited will no longer process the
personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating
to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of
personal data concerning him or her by
Swain & Rands Limited 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.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may
directly contact the Data Protection Officer of
Swain & Rands Limited or another employee. In
addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of
information society services, and notwithstanding Directive
2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means
using technical specifications.
H) Automated individual decision-making, 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, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for
entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data
subject and a data controller, or (2) is not 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 not based
on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the
performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data
controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit
consent, Swain & Rands Limited shall implement
suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and
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 contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning
automated individual decision-making, he or she may at any time
directly contact our Data Protection Officer of
Swain & Rands Limited or another employee of the
controller.
I) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of his
or her 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 directly contact our Data
Protection Officer of Swain & Rands Limited or another employee of
the controller.
Data protection for applications and the application procedures
The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of
applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application
procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically.
This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits
corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web
form on the website to the controller. If the data controller
concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted
data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment
relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no
employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the
controller, the application documents shall be automatically
erased two months after notification of the refusal decision,
provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are
opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation
is, for example, a burden of proof in a procedure under the
General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the
enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet,
an online community, which usually allows users to communicate
with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network
may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and
experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal
or business-related information. Facebook allows social network
users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos,
and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way,
Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of
the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook
Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2,
Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
website, which is operated by the controller and into which a
Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web
browser on the information technology system of the data subject
is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding
Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component.
An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course
of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what
specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook,
Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data
subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet
site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected through the
Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook
account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of
the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like”
button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook
matches this information with the personal Facebook user account
of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component,
information about a visit to our website by the data subject,
whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on
Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This
occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the
Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information
to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she
may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before
a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is
available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides
information about the collection, processing and use of personal
data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting
options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data
subject. In addition, different configuration options are made
available to allow the elimination of data transmission to
Facebook, e.g. the Facebook blocker of the provider Webgraph,
which may be obtained under
http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/. These applications
may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission
to Facebook.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google
AdSense On this website, the controller has integrated Google
AdSense. Google AdSense is an online service which allows the
placement of advertising on third-party sites. Google AdSense is
based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on
third-party sites to match with the content of the respective
third-party site. Google AdSense allows an interest-based
targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by means of
generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of Google’s AdSense component is Alphabet
Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United
States.
The purpose of Google’s AdSense component is the integration of
advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on
the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the
cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyse the use of our
website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which
a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet browser on
the information technology system of the data subject will
automatically submit data through the Google AdSense component for
the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of
commissions to Alphabet Inc. During the course of this technical
procedure, the enterprise Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of
personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which
serves Alphabet Inc., inter alia, to understand the origin of
visitors and clicks and subsequently create 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. Additionally, cookies already in use by Alphabet Inc. may
be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software
programs.
Furthermore, Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A
tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in web
pages to enable a log file recording and a log file analysis
through which a statistical analysis may be performed. Based on
the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. is able to determine
if and when a website was opened by a data subject, and which
links were clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels serve,
inter alia, to analyse the flow of visitors on a website.
Through Google AdSense, personal data and information—which also
includes the IP address, and is necessary for the collection and
accounting of the displayed advertisements—is transmitted to
Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data
will be stored and processed in the United States of America. The
Alphabet Inc. may disclose the collected personal data through
this technical procedure to third parties.
Google AdSense is further explained under the following link

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google
Analytics (with anonymisation function) On this website, the
controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with
the anonymiser function). Google Analytics is a web analytics
service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis
of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web
analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from
which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages
were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was
viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimisation of a
website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of
Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc.,
1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United
States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses
the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application
the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is
abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from
a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State
to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the
traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and
information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our
website and to provide online reports, which show the activities
on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use
of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology
system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained
above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to
analyse the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the
individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Google Analytics component was
integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject will automatically submit data through
the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online
advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During
the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise 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 the access was made, and the
frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each
visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP
address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be
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 these personal data collected through the
technical procedure 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 an adjustment to the
Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from
setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data
subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics
may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software
programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to
a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which
is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing
of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For
this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on
under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and
install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a
JavaScript that any data and information about the visits of
Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The
installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by
Google. If the information technology system of the data subject
is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data
subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google
Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data
subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of
competence or is disabled, it is possible to execute the
reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions
of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is
further explained under the following Link
https://www.google.com/analytics/.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google
Remarketing On this website, the controller has integrated Google
Remarketing services. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google
AdWords, which allows an enterprise to display advertising to
Internet users who have previously resided on the enterprise’s
Internet site. The integration of Google Remarketing, therefore,
allows an enterprise to create user-based advertising and thus
shows relevant advertisements to interested Internet users.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is the
Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351,
United States.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the insertion of
interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to
display ads on the Google network or on other websites, which are
based on individual needs and matched to the interests of Internet
users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology
system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained
above. With the setting of the cookie, Google enables recognition
of the visitor of our website if he calls up consecutive web
pages, which are also a member of the Google advertising network.
With each call-up to an Internet site on which the service has
been integrated by Google Remarketing, the web browser of the data
subject identifies automatically with Google. During this
technical procedure, Google receives personal information, such as
the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google
uses, among other things, for the insertion of interest relevant
advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, e.g. the
Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our
Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the
Internet access used by the data subject, is 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 these
personal data collected through the technical procedure 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 an adjustment to the
Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject.
In addition, cookies already in use by Google may be deleted at
any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to
the interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the
data subject must call up the link to www.google.de/settings/ads
and make the desired settings on each Internet browser used by the
data subject.
Further information and the actual data protection provisions of
Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Google+ On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+
button as a component. Google+ is a so-called social network. A
social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an
online community, which usually allows users to communicate with
each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may
serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences,
or enable the Internet community to provide personal or
business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social
network to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos
and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre
Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website,
which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button
has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information
technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a
display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google through the
respective Google+ button component. During the course of this
technical procedure, Google is made aware of what specific
sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. More
detailed information about Google+ is available under
https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+,
Google recognises with each call-up to our website by the data
subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our
Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were
visited by the data subject. This information is collected through
the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective
Google+ account associated with the data subject.
If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our
website and thus gives a Google+ 1 recommendation, then Google
assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of
the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the
Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly
available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by
the data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1
recommendation given by the data subject on this website together
with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by
the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on
other Google services, such as search-engine results of the Google
search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other
places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements.
Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other
personal data stored on Google. Google further records this
personal information with the purpose of improving or optimising
the various Google services.
Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the
data subject visited our website if the data subject at the time
of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This occurs
regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on
the Google+ button.
If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to
Google, he or she may prevent such transmission by logging out of
his Google+ account before calling up our website.
Further information and the data protection provisions of Google
may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More references
from Google about the Google+ 1 button may be obtained under
https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Google-AdWords On this website, the controller has integrated
Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet
advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google
search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google
AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with
the help of which an ad on Google’s search results only then
displayed, when the user utilises the search engine to retrieve a
keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network,
the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic
algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by
the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third
parties and in the search engine results of the search engine
Google and insertion of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a
conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of
the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is
explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30
days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie
has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether
certain sub-pages, e.g. the shopping cart from an online shop
system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion
cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a
person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales,
that is, executed or cancelled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the
conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for
our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine
the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads
to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to
optimise our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor
other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google
that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the
Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our
Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the
Internet access used by the data subject, is 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 these
personal data collected through the technical procedure to third
parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies
by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding
setting of the Internet 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 conversion cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a
cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the
Internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the
interest-based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data
subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link
www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions
of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Instagram On this website, the controller has integrated

CA, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and on which an
Instagram component (Instagram button) was integrated, the
Internet browser on the information technology system of the data
subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display of
the corresponding Instagram component of Instagram. During the
course of this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of
what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data
subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Instagram,
Instagram detects with every call-up to our website by the data
subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet
site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected through the
Instagram component and is associated with the respective
Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks
on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, then
Instagram matches this information with the personal Instagram
user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that
the data subject has visited our website provided that the data
subject is logged in at Instagram at the time of the call to our
website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on
the Instagram button or not. If such transmission of information
to Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she
can prevent this by logging off from their Instagram account
before a call-up to our website is made.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions
of Instagram may be retrieved under
https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and

Data protection provisions about the application and use of
LinkedIn The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn
Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social
network that enables users with existing business contacts to
connect and to make new business contacts. Over 400 million
registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. Thus,
LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts
and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029
Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED STATES. For privacy
matters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy
Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is
responsible.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and on which a LinkedIn
component (LinkedIn plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser
on the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to the download of a display of the
corresponding LinkedIn component of LinkedIn. Further information
about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed under
https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During this technical
procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of
our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn,
LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our website by the data
subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet
site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected through the
LinkedIn component and associated with the respective LinkedIn
account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of
the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, then LinkedIn
assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of
the data subject and stores the personal data.
LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the
data subject has visited our website, provided that the data
subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our
website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on

the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding
Twitter component of Twitter. Further information about the
Twitter buttons is available under
https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. During this
technical procedure, Twitter gains knowledge of what specific
sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The
purpose of the integration of the Twitter component is a
retransmission of the contents of this website to allow our users
to introduce this web page to the digital world and increase our
visitor numbers.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Twitter,
Twitter detects with every call-up to our website by the data

Data protection provisions about the application and use of
YouTube On this website, the controller has integrated components
of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video
publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge,
which also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them.
YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos so that you can
access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music
videos, trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet
portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave.,
San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a
subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View,
CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet

data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in
on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on
a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information
to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the
delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their
own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.
YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide
information about the collection, processing and use of personal
data by YouTube and Google.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of
DoubleClick On this website, the controller has integrated
components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a trademark of
Google, under which predominantly special online marketing
solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
The operating company of DoubleClick by Google is Google Inc.,
1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED
STATES.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server
with each impression, clicks, or other activity. Each of these
data transfers triggers a cookie request to the data subject’s
browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick uses a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject.
The definition of cookies is explained above. The purpose of the
cookie is the optimisation and display of advertising. The cookie
is used, among other things, to display and place user-relevant
advertising as well as to create or improve reports on advertising
campaigns. Furthermore, the cookie serves to avoid multiple
displays of the same advertisement.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required to execute the
technical process. For example, the cookie ID is required to
display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick may also use
the Cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been
displayed in a browser to avoid duplications. It is also possible
for DoubleClick to track conversions through the cookie ID. For
instance, conversions are captured, when a user has previously
been shown a DoubleClick advertising ad, and he or she
subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using
the same Internet browser.
A cookie from DoubleClick does not contain any personal data.
However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign IDs.
A campaign ID is used to identify campaigns that the user has
already been in contact with.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website,
which is operated by the controller and on which a DoubleClick
component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information
technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by
the respective DoubleClick component to send data for the purpose
of online advertising and billing of commissions to Google. During
this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of any data that
Google may use to create commission calculations. Google may,
among other things, understand that the data subject has clicked
on certain links on our website.
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 Google from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject.
In addition, cookies already in use by Google may be deleted at
any time via a web browser or other software programs.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions
of DoubleClick may be retrieved under DoubleClick by Google
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.
Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal
as a payment processor On this website, the controller has
integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment
service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal
accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts.
PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit
cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account
is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no
classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger
online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal
also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection
services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe)
S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg,
Luxembourg.
If the data subject chooses “PayPal” as the payment option in the
online shop during the ordering process, we automatically transmit
the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment
option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data
required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name,
last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number,
mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment
processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires
such personal data, which are in connection with the respective
order.
The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and
fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to
PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the
transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal
and the controller for the processing of the data will be
transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This
transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.
PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and
service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is
necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or for data to be
processed in the order.
The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the
handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation
shall not have any effect on personal data which must be
processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual)
payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be
retrieved under
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
Legal basis for the processing Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the
legal basis for processing operations for which 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, when
processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to
provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)
lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which
are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for
example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or
services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the
fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art.
6(1) lit. 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 in our company and his name,
age, health insurance data or other vital information would have
to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then
the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR.
This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not
covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if 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.
Such processing operations are particularly permissible because
they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator.
He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the
data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2
GDPR).
The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third
party.
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)
lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business
in favour of the well-being of all our employees and the
shareholders.
Period for which the personal data will be stored.
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal
data is the respective statutory retention period. After
expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely
deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment
of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual
requirement;
Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the
data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences
of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required
by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual
provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data
subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be
processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to
provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract
with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have
the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not
be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data
subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection
Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject
whether the provision of the personal data is required by law,
