Privacy Notice

 

Introduction

We would like to use the information below to provide you "data subject" with an overview of our processing of your personal data and your rights under data protection law.

 

Personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the "Wiewelhove GmbH". The aim of this Privacy Notice is to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

 

As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to submit personal data on alternative ways, such as by phone or by post to us.

Definitions

This Privacy Notice is based on the terminology used by the European legislature and legislature in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the terminology used. Among other things, we use the following terms in this privacy policy.

 

We use the following terms in this Privacy Notice, among others:

 

  1. Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 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.

  1. Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller (our company).

  1. Processing

Processing means 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.

  1. Restriction to processing

Restriction to processing means marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in future.

  1. 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.

  1. Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without additional information being provided, given that such additional information is kept separate and subject to appropriate technical and organisational measures that ensure that personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  1. Data processor

The processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  1. Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data is 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.

  1. Third parties

Third party means 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.

  1. Consent

Consent 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.

 

Legal basis for processing

Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR serves as our company’s 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 you are 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, processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(b) GDPR. The same applies to those processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of queries regarding our products or services.

 

If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(c) GDPR.

 

In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if someone visiting our business were to be injured and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information needed to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(d) GDPR.

 

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR. Processing operations not based on any of the above-mentioned legal bases may be carried out on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or those of a third party, provided the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence. We are permitted to engage in such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned in European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

 

 

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

 

Data collection when visiting the website

If you only use our website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data your browser sends our server (in what is known as "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you access a website or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. It may be collected.

 

  • the browser types, languages and versions used,
  • the operating system used by the accessing system,
  • the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (called a referrer),
  • the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  • the date and time the website is accessed,
  • the access’ status,
  • the amount of transferred data,
  • an internet protocol address (IP address) and
  • the accessing system's internet service provider.

 

No conclusions are drawn about you when using this general data and information. Instead, this information is needed to

 

  • properly deliver our website content,
  • to optimise the content of the website,
  • to ensure the continued functioning of our IT-systems and our website’s technology as well as
  • to provide the information necessary for law enforcement authorities to prosecute in the event of a cyber-attack.

 

This collected data and information is therefore statistically analysed and further analysed by us with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data being processed by us. The data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

 

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the purposes listed above for the collection of data.

 

We process and store your personal data only for the period of time necessary to meet the storage purpose or as required by the legal provisions to which our company is subject.

 

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a required retention period expires, personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

 

 

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

 

Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however, that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.

 

The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are erased automatically when you leave our website.

 

We also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness. These cookies are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you return to our website to use our services, cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have visited our website previously and remember the inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

 

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and analyse it for the purpose of optimising our services. These cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit our website again. These cookies are automatically erased after a defined period of time.

 

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are to safeguard our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1(f) GDPR.

 

For all other cookies you have given your consent to this through our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR.

 

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, we would point out that this may result in you not being able to use all the features of this website.

 

 

Contact/contact form

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. using our contact form or by email). If you use a contact form to get in touch with us, the contact form you use will indicate the data being collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your query or establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1(f)f GDPR. If the aim of you contacting us is to conclude a contract, processing is also legally based on Article 6 Paragraph 1(b) GDPR. Your data will be erased once we have finished processing your query. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been clarified in a conclusive manner and there are no statutory retention obligations in place that prevent its erasure.

 

Application management

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of carrying out the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted 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 erased two (2) months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of ours prevent their erasure. Other legitimate interests in this context include, for example, the duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]). The data is processed exclusively by those employees who are involved in the application process and not transferred to third parties.

 

The basis for the data processing is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 Paragraph 1 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, [BDSG]) or our legitimate interest in line with Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) GDPR to initiate an employment.

 

Please note that an application via unsecured email may be vulnerable to attacks. It may be seen, changed, altered or deleted by unauthorized third parties. Besides, communication profiles may be created.

 

Web analytics

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; represented in the EU by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as "Google"), on our website. As part of this, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see the section on "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as your

  1. browser type/version
  2. operating system
  3. referrer URL (website previously visited),
  4. host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and
  5. time of server request,

 

is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. IP addresses are anonymised within the EU so that it is not possible to assign them to individuals (known as IP masking). The IP-anonymization is carried out on a Server in the USA only in exceptional cases.

 

This information is used to evaluate your use of this website, to compile reports on the website activities, and to perform further services linked to website and internet use for market research purposes and to tailor the design of this website.

This information may also be sent to third parties if this is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with any other data.

 

These processing operations only take place if express consent is granted via opt-in Cookie banner in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Click here to do so. Please note that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

 

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, we would point out that this may result in you not being able to use all the features of this website.

You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the available browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

 

This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. You can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage and in your Google account settings.

 

There is neither an adequacy decision by the EU Commission regarding the level of data protection in the USA nor are there appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to the USA.
Your consent to the use of your personal data by Google Analytics also applies to the transfer of data to a third country in accordance with Article 49 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR.

Please note that in third countries like the USA, that are not part of the European Economic Area, there is a much lower standard of data protection. Therefore, your data might be used there without your knowledge for processing activities that are unlawful under European legislation. For instance, US companies might be forced by security services to surrender your data under circumstances that would render the surrender illegal under European law. Furthermore, the companies might use your personal data for processing activities that would be illegitimate in the European Economic Area.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Click here to do so. Please note that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website, provided through Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; represented in the Eu by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually display geographic information. For example, by using this service, you can view our location and make it easier for you to reach us.

 

When you access sub-pages in which a Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transferred to Google's servers in the US and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether you have no user account with them at all. When you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your profile associated with Google, you will need to log out of your Google account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyses it. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

 

These processing operations only take place if express consent is granted by accepting the depiction of Google Maps in said sup-pages in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Click here to do so. Please note that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If you do not give your consent or withdraw a given consent, no data will be sent to Google, but you will be unable to see the map provided by Google Maps.

 

There is neither an adequacy decision by the EU Commission regarding the level of data protection in the USA nor are there appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to the USA.
Your consent to the use of your personal data by Google Maps also applies to the transfer of data to a third country in accordance with Article 49 Paragraph 1(a) GDPR.

Please note that in third countries like the USA, that are not part of the European Economic Area, there is a much lower standard of data protection. Therefore, your data might be used there without your knowledge for processing activities that are unlawful under European legislation. For instance, US companies might be forced by security services to surrender your data under circumstances that would render the surrender illegal under European law. Furthermore, the companies might use your personal data for processing activities that would be illegitimate in the European Economic Area.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Click here to do so. Please note that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

 

If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google as part of your use of Google Maps, you have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. You will then be unable to use Google Maps and therefore the map displayed on this website. Please note that this may result in you not being able to use all the features of this website.

 

The Google terms of use can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/terms/regional.html, and the additional Google Maps terms of use can be found at https://www.google.com/help/terms_maps/ .

 

Detailed information on data protection with respect to the use of Google Maps is available on Google’s website ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

 

 

SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login details or contact requests that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by your browser’s address bar reading "https://" instead of "http://" and the lock symbol in the browser bar.

This also applies to profiling where this is connected to this kind of direct marketing. Should you object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for this purpose.

 

In addition, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 Paragraph 1 GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.
