4 Provision of the website and creation of log files
4.1 Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device. The following data is collected and temporarily stored:
- Information transmitted in the headers by the user's web browser.
- The user's IP address.
- Date and time of access.
- The web page accessed.
4.2 The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's device. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in the data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
4.3 The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
5 Collection of personal data during use
5.1 When you use the website, so-called cookies are stored on your device. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using, and through which certain information flows to the entity that sets the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve here only to make our online offering more user-friendly and effective overall, or to enable certain functions (e.g. a shopping cart for orders).
5.2 Before cookies are stored by us, you are informed about their use via a corresponding information dialog. Cookies are only stored and used if you consent in accordance with the options made available in the information dialog.
5.3 We use cookies, for example, to identify you on subsequent visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise, you would have to log in again for each visit.
a) This website uses cookies to the following extent:
- Transient cookies (temporary use)
- Persistent cookies (use for a limited time)
- Third-party cookies (from third-party providers)
b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include in particular session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, which allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the shared session. This enables your device to be recognized when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
d) You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, please note that you may then not be able to use all functions of this website.
5.4 The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR.
6 Use of functions on our website
6.1 In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you generally have to provide further personal data that we use to provide the respective service. Where additional voluntary information can be provided, it is marked accordingly.
6.2 When you contact us by email or via the contact form, your email address and, if you provide it voluntarily, your name, telephone number and address are stored by us in order to answer your questions.
6.3 The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR.
7 Contact form and email contact
7.1 Our website provides a contact form that can be used to make contact electronically. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored. At the time the message is sent, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are also stored. Alternatively, you can contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email is stored. The data is not passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing your enquiry. The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
7.2 The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of making contact is Art. 6(1)(a) and (f) GDPR. If the contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
7.3 The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and the data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
7.4 The personal data additionally collected during the sending process is deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
8 Rights of data subjects
In connection with our processing of your data, you have the following rights. Please use our contact details under section 2 to exercise your rights, or contact the supervisory authority:
8.1 Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR regarding our processing of your personal data with respect to the purpose of processing, categories of data processed, recipients or categories of recipients, the storage period or the criteria for determining the period, the right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to processing, the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, where applicable information about the origin of the data and the existence of automated decision-making, and where applicable information about safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in the event of transfer to a third country or international organizations.
8.2 Right to immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete personal data pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR.
8.3 Right to erasure of the stored personal data pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, if a consent given has been withdrawn and there is no other legal basis, if an objection to processing has been lodged and the data may no longer be processed pursuant to Art. 21(1) or (2) GDPR, if the data was processed unlawfully, if erasure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, or if the data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR. This does not apply where processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
8.4 Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, if you contest the accuracy of the data (for the period required to verify its accuracy), if the processing is unlawful but you object to erasure and instead request the restriction of use, if we no longer need the data for the purposes of processing but you require the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR for as long as it has not yet been established whether our legitimate grounds override yours.
8.5 Right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR (where the data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing) or pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR (where the processing takes place pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims). For further information on the right to object, please also refer to section 11.
8.6 Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, i.e. the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to have it transmitted to another controller.
8.7 Right to withdraw consent given at any time pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR. The withdrawal means that, from the time of withdrawal onwards, we may no longer carry out the data processing concerned for the future. See also section 12 on this.
8.8 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR. The right to complain applies without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
8.9 Please direct all requests for information, requests for access or objections to data processing by email to benjamin@poensgen.de or to the address given under section 3.
9 Automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making.
10 Data security
10.1 We protect our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, alteration or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons through appropriate technical and organizational measures. Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all risks is not possible.
10.2 Our website uses the industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for encryption. This ensures the confidentiality of your personal information over the internet. You can tell whether an encrypted transmission is taking place by the closed key or lock symbol shown in your browser.
11 Information on the right to object
You may object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time, subject to the conditions of Article 21 GDPR. In the event of an objection, the personal data will no longer be processed, unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Please direct your objection to the email address benjamin@poensgen.de
12 Information on the right to withdraw consent
If you have given us consent to process personal data, you can withdraw it from us at any time. This naturally also applies to declarations of consent given to us before 25 May 2018 (before the GDPR came into effect). The withdrawal of consent can only take effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing is not retroactively affected by a withdrawal.
Please direct your withdrawal by email to benjamin@poensgen.de
