INFORMATION ON THE COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA ACCORDING TO THE GDPR FOR BUSINESS PARTNERS / SUPPLIERS

08/18/2020: Update of our data protection information

Based on the decision of the European Court of Justice of July 16, 2020, we hereby inform our customers, business partners, employees, website visitors and other communication partners that when using US service providers such as Amazon, Asana, Facebook, Google, MailChimp, Twitter , TeamViewer, YouTube, etc. and their respective European subsidiaries in the context of communication, no appropriate level of data protection comparable to EU regulations can be maintained. Due to national laws, a non-European provider may be forced by national law to release communication data to national security authorities without this release being able to be checked for its legality in an independent judicial process at the request of the person concerned. Since this finding of the court also applies to companies with headquarters and data processing in Europe both under the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield, as well as the standard contractual clauses and the binding company regulations, we now have to check all data transmissions to third parties in individual cases and, if necessary, stop them or through Replace EU-based providers. We are currently in talks with our service providers and the supervisory authorities about this.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation obliges us to provide you with comprehensive information on the processing of your personal data. In accordance with this commitment, we inform you of the following:

The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all your personal data. This data is not merged with other data sources.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to an e-mail address entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address, as the person concerned, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned to you as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any misuse of the e-mail address of a person concerned at a later point in time and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected as part of registering for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical conditions.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to an e-mail address entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address, as the person concerned, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned to you as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any misuse of the e-mail address of a person concerned at a later point in time and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected as part of registering for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter.

Tracking

Our e-mails may contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we can see if and when an e-mail was opened by a recipient and which links in the e-mail were called up by them.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the e-mails are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the e-mail dispatch and to adapt the content of future e-mails even better to the interests of the recipient. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Affected persons are entitled to revoke the declaration of consent given at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for processing, unless the right to deletion is restricted by law. We automatically interpret a cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation of the consent.

Contact form

Due to legal regulations, our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact to our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you transmit will be saved automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Blog

It is possible to subscribe to blog content. The comments made in our blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commenter to subscribe to the comments that follow their comment on a specific blog post.

If you decide to subscribe to comments, we will send an automatic confirmation e-mail in order to use the double opt-in procedure to check whether the owner of the e-mail address provided has really opted for this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be unsubscribed at any time.

If users leave comments or other posts on our blog, their IP addresses can be stored for 7 days on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This is for our security if someone leaves illegal content in comments and posts (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we can be prosecuted for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to process user information for the purpose of spam detection on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data provided in the context of the comments and posts will be stored by us permanently until the user objects.

Application Options

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing can also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on our website.

If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of ours.

Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If applicants and employers are interested in being included in an applicant pool and, accordingly, in long-term storage of the data, the applicant’s consent is required. In this case, the applicant will be informed about the company's data protection declaration and the special provisions of the company's applicant data protection. Subsequently, to ensure verifiability, a written declaration of consent to data processing for the purpose of the application will be obtained and at the same time the applicant will be informed that the consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

II. SOCIAL MEDIA
Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to be able to inform them about our services there.

We would like to point out that user data can be processed outside of the European Union. This can result in risks for users, for example because it could make it more difficult to enforce user rights. With regard to US providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibility of objection (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information from the providers.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Facebook
Fanpage

The conference of the independent data protection authorities of the federal and state governments (Data Protection Conference - DSK) has pointed out that Facebook is obliged to obtain effective consent to the use of data from all visitors to the Facebook page. The operators of a Facebook fan page, on the other hand, are obliged to obtain the necessary information about the use of data from Facebook. These requirements are now met.

When you visit our fan page, Facebook collects personal data from users within the framework and scope of their responsibility. Such data collection by Facebook can also take place from visitors to this page who are not logged in to Facebook or registered as members. Information about data collection and further processing by Facebook as well as information about the implementation of your rights and decision-making options can be found in Facebook's data protection information.

By using the Facebook platform, we assume no responsibility for the processing of personal data and its transmission outside the European Union, in particular no responsibility for the implementation of the rights of those affected and for the effectiveness of the consent.

We have no influence on the scope and do not have full access to the data collected or your profile data. You decide which information we receive within the scope of Facebook's sole responsibility with your Facebook settings or your browser settings when you visit a publicly accessible page. In addition, you have the option in your Facebook settings to actively hide your "likes" or to stop following the fan page. Then your profile will no longer appear in the list of fans on this fan page.

We receive anonymous statistics from Facebook on the use and use of the fan page. The following information is provided here, for example (so-called insight data):

• Followers: Number of people who follow our fan page - including growth and development over a defined time frame.

• Reach: number of people who see a specific post on our fan page and number of interactions with a post.

• Ad Performance: Number of people who saw an ad.

• Demographics: Average age of visitors, gender, place of residence, language.

We use these statistics, from which we cannot draw any conclusions about individual users, to constantly improve our online offer on Facebook and to better respond to the interests of our users. We cannot link the statistical data with the profile data of our fans. You can use your Facebook settings to decide how targeted advertising is displayed to you.

We have entered into an agreement between joint controllers in accordance with Article 26 GDPR with Facebook regarding the processing of personal data.

As a result, Facebook is solely responsible for the processing of Insight data. In this regard, Facebook is responsible for fulfilling information obligations in accordance with Articles 12 and 13 GDPR, for exercising the rights of data subjects in accordance with Articles 15 to 22 GDPR, for data security and also for reporting data protection violations (Articles 32 to 34 GDPR). Furthermore, Facebook remains solely responsible for the processing of other personal data.

We receive personal data via Facebook if you actively communicate this to us via a personal message on Facebook or if you use a form to transmit the data to us and actively send the data to us by clicking on a button. We use the data you provide (e.g. first name, last name) to answer your request in our customer service, if this is necessary. Your data will be stored in our CRM system for this purpose. If necessary, we use your data provided to us to prosecute criminal offenses or to enforce our or the legitimate interests of data subjects in accordance with Art. 6 (1) c, d, f DSGVO.

VI. BOOKING PROCESS AND PAYMENT OPTIONS

In order to process bookings via our website, the personal data required to implement the booking is collected. This is usually first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number and other data required to process the booking. Personal data related to the respective booking is also necessary to process the booking. In particular, there may be a mutual exchange of payment information such as bank details, card number, expiry date and CVC code, prices and taxes, information on previous purchasing behavior or other information relating to your financial situation.

The transmission of the data is aimed in particular at identity verification, payment administration and fraud prevention. The purpose of data collection is therefore the fulfillment of (pre-)contractual obligations in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

For processing, it may be necessary for us to forward the personal data collected during the payment process, such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or bank account data and transaction data, to the payment service provider. Some of the payment service providers also collect this data themselves (PayPal, Sofortüberweisung).

Payment with Paypal

To handle the booking process, we offer the PayPal payment method and have integrated PayPal components on our website.

PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes 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 you select "PayPal" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, your data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, you agree 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 required for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order are also required to process the purchase contract.

The transmission of the data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. We will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and us may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness.

PayPal may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations or the data is to be processed in the order.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the handling of personal data from PayPal at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

PayPal's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Payment with immediate transfer

To handle the booking process, we offer the payment method Sofortüberweisung and have integrated components of the Sofortüberweisung company on our website (www.sofort.de).

Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment for products and services on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung represents a technical procedure through which the online retailer immediately receives a payment confirmation. In this way, a retailer is able to deliver goods, services or downloads to the customer immediately after the order has been placed.

The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich, Germany.

If you select "Sofortüberweisung" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, your data will be automatically sent to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, you agree to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

When making a purchase via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online retailer after a technical check of the account balance and retrieval of further data to check the account funds. The execution of the financial transaction is then automatically communicated to the online retailer. Sensitive data (such as PIN and TAN) are not stored and are not visible to employees of Sofort GmbH or from outside at any time.

The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung is first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing. The transmission of the data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The person responsible for processing will also transmit other personal data to Sofortüberweisung if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the person responsible for processing may be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness.

Sofortüberweisung may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations or the data is to be processed in the order.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the handling of personal data at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection regulations of Sofortüberweisung can be accessed at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/datenschutz/.

VII. PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASIS OF DATA PROCESSING, CONTRACTORS, TRANSFER TO THIRD PARTIES IN THIRD COUNTRIES

We only use the personal data you have given us for the purposes for which it was intended. The legal basis for the processing of your data can be, in particular, the initiation and processing of contracts, advertising, quality assurance, fraud prevention or the keeping of statistics.

If contractually agreed, we can arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who then also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use that is attributable to us.

A further legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent to the use and disclosure of your personal data. You can informally revoke your consent at any time.

A transfer of personal data to state institutions and authorities takes place exclusively on the basis of mandatory national legislation. The persons commissioned by us to process the data are bound to secrecy and lawful processing of the data. In the event of further processing of your personal data for a purpose other than the original, we will notify you accordingly.

We use the support of external service providers (processors) for certain technical processes relating to data analysis, processing and/or storage.

Data will only be transferred to third countries (countries outside the European Economic Area – EEA) if this is necessary to fulfill the contract, is required by law or if you have given us your consent. If required by law, we will inform you separately about the details.

As part of the refer-a-friend program, we send our customers amazon vouchers via the online shop amazon.de if they actively participate in the refer-a-friend program and successfully refer a friend. For this purpose alone, we use the e-mail address given when booking and give it to our customers in the course of the amazon voucher booking and forwarding of the amazon voucher to our customers in the booking process from amazon.de.

In the course of booking an insurance contract as part of a special offer, we give our customers an Amazon.de voucher when booking. In order to fulfill this promise, the e-mail address provided when booking is used for this purpose alone and in the course of the Amazon.de voucher booking and forwarding of the Amazon.de voucher to our customer in the amazon.de (Amazon Incentives) booking process .

VIII. DURATION OF DATA STORAGE

We store your collected personal data from the time of collection. The data collected in this way will be stored by us for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes the initiation and processing of a contract. In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations, which result from the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the Fiscal Code (AO), among other things. The retention periods prescribed there are up to ten years. Finally, with regard to the possibility of defending against legal claims, the storage period is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 ff of the German Civil Code (BGB) are usually 3 years, but in certain cases also up to thirty years can amount.
