Privacy Policy

We are delighted about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to Weingärtner IT Services. The use of the internet pages of Weingärtner IT Services is fundamentally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Weingärtner IT Services. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, Weingärtner IT Services has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of Weingärtner IT Services is based on the terms used by the European Directives and Regulators in the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for both the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

a) personenbezogene Daten

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). A natural person is regarded as identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, to an identification number, to location data, to an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.

b) betroffene Person

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Verarbeitung

Processing is any operation carried out with or without the aid of automated processes or any such series of operations in connection with personal data such as the collection, recording, organisation, arrangement, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, matching or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Einschränkung der Verarbeitung

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location of this natural person.

f) Pseudonymisierung

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in a way in which the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures that ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Verantwortlicher oder für die Verarbeitung Verantwortlicher

Controller or controller for the processing is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are specified by Union law or the law of the member states, the controller or the specific criteria for their designation can be provided for under Union law or the law of the member states.

h) Auftragsverarbeiter

Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Empfänger

Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether they are a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the member states are not considered recipients.

j) Dritter

Third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who are authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

k) Einwilligung

Consent is any expression of will given voluntarily by the data subject for the specific case in an informed manner and unambiguously in the form of a declaration or other clear affirmative action, with which the data subject makes it clear that they agree to the processing of their personal data.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union and other provisions with a data protection character is:

Markus Weingärtner-Klinger

Großzschachwitzer Straße 14

01259 Dresden

Germany

Tel.: 0351-20532305

E-mail: markus@weingaertner-it.de

Website: https://weingaertner-it.de

3. Cookies

The internet pages of Weingärtner IT Services use only technically necessary cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Weingärtner IT Services can provide 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 in the interests of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data again each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable under certain circumstances.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Weingärtner IT Services collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded: (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 referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Weingärtner IT Services does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Weingärtner IT Services both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the controller, providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask that is used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller can arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use that is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and that this data makes it possible to investigate criminal offences committed if necessary. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

The controller provides each data subject with information about which personal data relating to the data subject is stored at any time upon request. Furthermore, the controller corrects or deletes personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

6. Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of Weingärtner IT Services contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period of time that is necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this was provided for by the European Directives and Regulators or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directives and Regulators or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Web analysis services

– Matomo
On this website, the web analysis service software Matomo (www.matomo.org), a service of the provider InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, (“Matomo”) is used to collect and store certain user information for a short period of time. To protect site visitors, Matomo uses a so-called “config_id” to enable various analyses of site usage within a short time window of up to 24 hours. The “config_id” of the site is a randomly set, time-limited hash of a limited set of settings and attributes of the visitor. The config_id or config hash is a string that is calculated for a visitor based on their operating system, browser, browser plugins, IP address and browser language. Matomo does not use device fingerprinting and uses an anonymised IP address of the site visitor to create the “config_id”.
If the information processed in this way includes personal user data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes. In order to object to the processing of your visitor data for the future, we provide you with a separate objection option on our website.
The data collected with Matomo technology is only transferred to a Matomo server operated by Weingärtner IT and processed for usage analysis purposes.

9. Rights of the data subject

a) Recht auf Bestätigung

Every data subject has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulators to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data relating to them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to make use of this right to confirmation, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

b) Recht auf Auskunft

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulators to obtain information from the controller free of charge at any time about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European Directives and Regulators have granted the data subject access to the following information:

die Verarbeitungszwecke
die Kategorien personenbezogener Daten, die verarbeitet werden
die Empfänger oder Kategorien von Empfängern, gegenüber denen die personenbezogenen Daten offengelegt worden sind oder noch offengelegt werden, insbesondere bei Empfängern in Drittländern oder bei internationalen Organisationen

das Bestehen einer automatisierten Entscheidungsfindung einschließlich Profiling gemäß Artikel 22 Abs.1 und 4 DS-GVO und — zumindest in diesen Fällen — aussagekräftige Informationen über die involvierte Logik sowie die Tragweite und die angestrebten Auswirkungen einer derartigen Verarbeitung für die betroffene Person

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to information as to whether personal data has been transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

c) Recht auf Berichtigung

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to demand the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Recht auf Löschung (Recht auf Vergessen werden)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller that the personal data concerning them be deleted immediately, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

Die personenbezogenen Daten wurden für solche Zwecke erhoben oder auf sonstige Weise verarbeitet, für welche sie nicht mehr notwendig sind.
Die betroffene Person widerruft ihre Einwilligung, auf die sich die Verarbeitung gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 Buchstabe a DS-GVO oder Art. 9 Abs. 2 Buchstabe a DS-GVO stützte, und es fehlt an einer anderweitigen Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung.
Die betroffene Person legt gemäß Art. 21 Abs. 1 DS-GVO Widerspruch gegen die Verarbeitung ein, und es liegen keine vorrangigen berechtigten Gründe für die Verarbeitung vor, oder die betroffene Person legt gemäß Art. 21 Abs. 2 DS-GVO Widerspruch gegen die Verarbeitung ein.
Die personenbezogenen Daten wurden unrechtmäßig verarbeitet.
Die Löschung der personenbezogenen Daten ist zur Erfüllung einer rechtlichen Verpflichtung nach dem Unionsrecht oder dem Recht der Mitgliedstaaten erforderlich, dem der Verantwortliche unterliegt.
Die personenbezogenen Daten wurden in Bezug auf angebotene Dienste der Informationsgesellschaft gemäß Art. 8 Abs. 1 DS-GVO erhoben.

If one of the above-mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored by Weingärtner IT Services deleted, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Weingärtner IT Services will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately.

If the personal data has been made public by Weingärtner IT Services and our company, as the controller, is obliged to delete the personal data pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, Weingärtner IT Services shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested these other data controllers to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The employee of Weingärtner IT Services will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Recht auf Einschränkung der Verarbeitung

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand that the controller restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

Die Richtigkeit der personenbezogenen Daten wird von der betroffenen Person bestritten, und zwar für eine Dauer, die es dem Verantwortlichen ermöglicht, die Richtigkeit der personenbezogenen Daten zu überprüfen.
Die Verarbeitung ist unrechtmäßig, die betroffene Person lehnt die Löschung der personenbezogenen Daten ab und verlangt stattdessen die Einschränkung der Nutzung der personenbezogenen Daten.
Der Verantwortliche benötigt die personenbezogenen Daten für die Zwecke der Verarbeitung nicht länger, die betroffene Person benötigt sie jedoch zur Geltendmachung, Ausübung oder Verteidigung von Rechtsansprüchen.
Die betroffene Person hat Widerspruch gegen die Verarbeitung gem. Art. 21 Abs. 1 DS-GVO eingelegt und es steht noch nicht fest, ob die berechtigten Gründe des Verantwortlichen gegenüber denen der betroffenen Person überwiegen.

If one of the above-mentioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Weingärtner IT Services, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Weingärtner IT Services will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

f) Recht auf Datenübertragbarkeit

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which has been provided to a controller by the data subject, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, unless the processing is 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, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and insofar as this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Weingärtner IT Services at any time.

g) Recht auf Widerspruch

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letters e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, Weingärtner IT Services will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If Weingärtner IT Services processes personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to Weingärtner IT Services processing data for direct marketing purposes, Weingärtner IT Services will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by Weingärtner IT Services for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Weingärtner IT Services or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

h) Automatisierte Entscheidungen im Einzelfall einschließlich Profiling

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect on them or significantly impairs them in a similar manner, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Weingärtner IT Services shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to state their own position and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

i) Recht auf Widerruf einer datenschutzrechtlichen Einwilligung

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

10. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Jetpack for WordPress

The controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that provides the operator of a website based on WordPress with additional functions. Among other things, Jetpack allows the website operator to have an overview of the site’s visitors. By displaying related posts and publications or the option to share content on the site, it is also possible to increase the number of visitors. Security functions are also integrated into Jetpack, so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimises and accelerates the loading of images integrated on the website.

The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Business Centre, No.1 Lower Mayor Street, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, Ireland.

Jetpack places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Jetpack component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Jetpack component to transmit data to Automattic for analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, Automattic gains knowledge of data that is subsequently used to create an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way is used to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who has accessed the website of the controller and is evaluated with the aim of optimising the website. The data collected via the Jetpack component is not used to identify the data subject without obtaining separate express consent from the data subject. The data also comes to the attention of Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already described above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Automattic can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by the Jetpack cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Automattic/Quantcast. To do this, the data subject must press the opt-out button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject’s system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.

By setting the opt-out cookie, however, it is possible that the websites of the controller can no longer be used in full by the data subject.

The applicable data protection regulations of Automattic can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. The applicable data protection regulations of Quantcast can be found at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.

11. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Shariff

The controller has integrated the Shariff component on this website. The Shariff component provides social media buttons that are data protection compliant. Shariff was developed for the German computer magazine c’t and is published via GitHub, Inc.

The developer of the component is GitHub, Inc. 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Usually, the button solutions provided by social networks already transmit personal data to the respective social network when a user visits a website in which a social media button has been integrated. By using the Shariff component, personal data is only transmitted to social networks when the visitor to a website actively clicks on one of the social media buttons. Further information on the Shariff component is provided by the computer magazine c’t at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-c-t-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html. The use of the Shariff component serves the purpose of protecting the personal data of visitors to our website and at the same time enabling us to integrate a button solution for social networks on this website.

Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of GitHub can be found at https://help.github.com/articles/github-privacy-policy/.

12. Payment method: Data protection regulations on PayPal and Stripe as payment methods

a) PayPal

The controller has integrated components from PayPal on this 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 initiate 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. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects “PayPal” as the payment option in our online shop during the order process, data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually the first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data that is necessary for payment processing. Personal data that is related to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract.

The transfer of the data is for the purpose of payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies under certain circumstances. This transfer is for the purpose of identity and creditworthiness verification.

PayPal may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfil the contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.

The data subject has the option of revoking their consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

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

b) Stripe

If you choose a payment method from the payment service provider Stripe, payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland, to whom we provide your information provided during the order process, together with information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, possibly credit card number, invoice amount, currency and transaction number) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Further information on Stripe’s data protection can be found at the URL https://stripe.com/de/privacy#translation.
Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check based on mathematical-statistical methods in order to protect the legitimate interest in determining the user’s ability to pay. Stripe may transmit the personal data required for a credit check and received as part of the payment process to selected credit agencies, which Stripe will disclose to users upon request. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit report, these are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of the score values includes, but is not limited to, address data. Stripe uses the result of the credit check with regard to the statistical probability of payment default for the purpose of deciding on the authorization to use the selected payment method.
You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to Stripe or the credit agencies commissioned.
However, Stripe may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual payment processing.

13. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in 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 a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I 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 had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh them. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

14. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

15. Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of the contract.

16. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must then be processed by us. The data subject is obliged, for example, to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him. Failure to provide personal data would mean 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 one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

17. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

This privacy policy was created by the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which operates as External Data Protection Officer Freising, in cooperation with the Lawyer for Data Protection Law Christian Solmecke.
