III. General information on the processing of data

        1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We generally collect and use any personal data of users of our homepage only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website, our contents and services.

Basically, no personal data are collected or used without previous explicit approval of our users. Exception from this acting is made only in cases where data processing is permitted by legal provisions, or when it is not possible to obtain prior approval for factual reasons.

        2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data essentially results from:

  • Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a of the DSGVO when collecting an approval from a person concerned.
  • Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. b of the DSGVO for the processing in order to per-form a contract, with the person concerned being one of the contrac-tors. Included here are procedures for processing that are necessary to implement pre-contractual actions.
  • Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. c of the DSGVO for the processing, which is neces¬sary to comply with any legal obligation.
  • Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. d of the DSGVO, if any vital interest of the person concerned or any other natural entity require a processing of personal data.
  • Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f of the DSGVO, if processing is necessary to pre-serve a justified interest of our company or a third party, which does not prevail the interests, fundamental rights and freedom of the person con¬cerned.

         3. Deletion of data and period of storage

Any personal data of the user are deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of their storage is no longer applicable. A recording beyond the one men-tioned is possible when this is allowed by the European or national legislator according to union laws, regulations or other provisions that the person in charge is subject to. Data shall as well be blocked or deleted, when a period for storage prescribed by the mentioned standards has expired. Exception is made when it is necessary to store the data further for concluding a contract or for performing a contract.

4.    General Information on the Use of Cookies

 Legal basis for the storage of cookies, identifications and similar technologies for tracking or storing information on the terminal unit of the end user as well as access to this information is the European ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with the Act regulating Data and Privacy Protection in Telecommunications and Telemedia (TTDSG).

Please consider that the legal grounds for the processing of personal data related with this result from the DSGVO [General Data Protection Regulation] (art. 6, paragraph 1, p.1 DSGVO). For the relevant legal basis for processing personal data as individually applicable, please refer to the respective cookie or the processing itself.

Primary legal basis for storing information on the terminal unit of the end user – in particular in relation with the storage of cookies – is your agreement, as per § 25 paragraph 1 S.1 TTDSG. Consent is being given when visiting our website – however, as a matter of course it does not necessarily need to be given – and can be revoked at any time in the cookie settings.

Pursuant to § 25, paragraph 2, no. 2 TTDSG, consent is not needed when it is absolutely necessary for the provider of a telemedia service to store information on the terminal unit of the end user or access to information already stored on the terminal unit of the end user to make available a telemedia service expressly requested for by the user. The types of cookies, which are categorized as absolutely necessary (often referred to as „technically necessary cookies“) and are therefore covered by the exception clause of § 25, paragraph 2, TTDSG thus not requiring consent, are set forth in the cookie settings.


IV. Utilization of our website, general information

        1. Description and scope of the data processing

Whenever our website is called up, our system is automatized to store data and information from the user’s computer system; this comprising the following information:

        2. Purpose and legal basis for the data processing

Temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to enable for-warding the website to the user’s computer. For this, the IP address of the user must be kept stored for the period of the browsing session.

Legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f of the DSGVO.

Storage of your personal data to provide our web performance and storage of data in log files is imperative for the operation of the website. Therefore, no possibility exists for revocation by the user.

You may enforce your right for information under: hedrich@hedrich.com.

        2. Right for correction

If the personal data concerning yourself, which are processed by us, are either incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to require from us their correction and/or completion. The correction shall be made immediately.

         3. Right for limitation

(2) The processing is illegal and deletion of the personal data is refused; the limitation of use of the personal data being claimed for instead;

In case of the presence of a limitation for the processing according to the indi¬cated rules, you will be notified by us before the limitation is abolished.

        4. Right for deletion

In the presence of the following reasons as indicated, you may require the per¬sonal data concerning yourself to be deleted immediately. The person in charge is obliged to immediately delete these data; reasons may be:

(1) The personal data concerning yourself are no longer necessary for the objectives they were originally intended for or in other ways processed.
(2) Processing is protected by an approval according to art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a or art. 9 paragraph 2 lit. a of the DSGVO, and you revoke consent. Another precondition is that there is no other legal basis for the process-sing.

We point out that the right for deletion does not exist when the processing is necessary …

(1) for exercising the right of free speech and information;
(2) for complying with legal obligations requiring the processing according to law of the union or one of its members, and the person in charge is subject to it, or to fulfil a task of public interest, or is subject to the execu¬tion of public power that the person in charge was made liable to;
(3) for reasons of public interest as relates to public health according to art. 9 paragraph 2 lit. h and i as well as art. 9 paragraph 3 of the DSGVO;

(5) for enforcing, exercising or defending any legal claims.

        5. Right for notification

If you have enforced your right for correction, deletion or limitation of the pro¬cessing, we will be obliged to inform all addressees that the personal data con¬cerning yourself were disclosed to of this correction or deletion of data or limi¬tation of processing. Exception to this is made when it can be proved that such notification is impossible or will involve unreasonable expenditure. Furthermore, you are entitled to be notified about these addressees.

        6. Right for the transferability of data

According to the DSGVO, you also have the right to receive the personal data concerning yourself, which were provided to us, in a structured, common and machine-legible format. Furthermore, you are entitled to transfer these data to any other person in charge without impediment by the person in charge that the personal data were provided to, in case
  • that the processing is based on an approval according to art. 6 para-graph 1 lit. a of the DSGVO or art. 9 paragraph 2 lit. a of the DSGVO or on a contract as per art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. b of the DSGVO and
  • the processing is made by means of an automated process.

For exercising the right to transfer data, you eventually are entitled to have the personal data concerning yourself transferred directly from a person in charge to another person in charge, as far as this is technically possible as well as unless the freedom and rights of other persons are impaired.

The right to transferability of data does not apply to the processing of personal data, which are necessary to fulfil a task of public interest or is subject to the execution of public power that the person in charge was made liable to.

        7. Right for revocation to the approval given for the processing of data

You are entitled to revoke your consent given with respect to data protection at any time. We point out that this withdrawal to the consent will not affect the legitimacy of the processing based on the earlier consent until the revocation.

        8. Right to filing objections

Furthermore, for any reason arising from your specific situation, you have the right to appeal against the processing of the personal data concerning yourself based on art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. e or f of the DSGVO. The right to file an objec¬tion also applies to a profiling, which is based on these prescriptions.

The person in charge will no longer process the personal data concerning your¬self, unless he/she can prove by giving reasons, which are absolutely legitimate for the processing that their interests, rights and freedom prevail, or that the processing is dedicated to enforcing, exercising or defending any legal claim.

If the personal data concerning yourself are used for purpose of direct adver-tising, you are entitled to appeal against the processing of personal data con-cerning yourself for the purpose of such advertising at any time. This also applies to the profiling, as far as it relates to such direct advertising. In case an objection is filed against the processing for the purpose of direct advertising, the personal data concerning yourself will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You further have the possibility, in connection with the use of services of the information society (irrespective of directive 2002/58/EC) to exercise your right to revocation by means of automated processes that employ technical specifications.

        9. Automated decision on case-to-case basis including profiling

According to the EU basic regulations for data and privacy protection, you are further entitled not to become subject to an exclusively automated processing – including profiling – decision that has a legal impact on you or has a signifi¬cant effect on you in similar ways. Exception from this principle is made, in case that the decision …

(1) is necessary for completing or performing a contract between you and the person in charge,
(2) is admissible due to legal provisions of the union or its members, that the person in charge is subject to, and these legal provisions contain ap¬propriate measures to preserve your rights and freedom as well as your justified interests, or
(3) has been made upon your explicit approval.

If the processing is effected within the scope of the cases stipulated under (1) and (3), the person in charge will take appropriate steps to preseve the rights and freedom as well as your justified interests including but not limited to the right to enable intervention by a representative of the person in charge for the presentation of the own point of view and for appealing against the decision.

Decisions made according to (1)–(3) must not be based on special categories for personal data as per art. 9 paragraph 1 of the DSGVO, unless art. 9 para¬graph 2 lit. a or g apply and reasonable measures have been taken to preserve the rights and freedom as well as your justified interests.

        10. Right for complaining before a supervisory authority

PRIVACY STATEMENT SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

We are providing fan pages on various social networks and platforms aiming to com­municate with customers, prospectives and users that are active there and inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that this might involve the processing of your personal data outside the European Union, which might be bearing risks for you (for instance when enforcing your rights according to European / German law). 

Generally, user data are being processed for the purpose of market research and advertising, e.g. for generating user profiles based on the user’s behaviour with result­ing interests of the user. These user profiles, in turn, can be taken to launch e.g. ad­vertising campaigns in and beyond the platforms that are suspected to match the interests of the user. For this purpose, cookies are usually stored on the user’s compu­ter relating to the usage behavior and interests of the user. In addition, these user profiles may also include data irrespective of the device applied by the user (all the more when the user is a member of the respective platforms and is logged in on them).

Processing of these personal user data is based on our justified interest in effective information of the users and communication with the users pursuant to art. 6 par. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If the provider asks the user to accept the data processing (give consent, e.g. by ticking yes in a check box or by confirming a button), the legal basis for the processing will be art. 6 par. 1 lit. a., art. 7 GDPR.

For more information on the processing of your personal data as well as yourpossibili­ties to objections, please see the below listed links of the respective provider. Any right for information or other rights by people concerned may not be enforced but via the provider, since they are the only ones to have direct access to the data of the users and have respective information.
Of course, we will be available in case of questions and will support you if you need any help.

DATA TRANSMISSION OUTSIDE THE EU

 
The GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation] grants an equal level of data protection within the European Union. When selecting our providers, we therefore prefer to use European partners as far as possible, if it comes to processing your personal data. Only in exceptional cases, we will allow third party providers other than of European Union origin to process data. The processing of your data in a non-EU country will be approved by us only, if the special requirements according to GDPR Art. 44 et seq. have been met. This means that it is only permitted to process your data based on special guarantees, such as the assessment of a data protection level equivalent to the EU, which is officially acknowledged by the EU commission, or when officially acknowledged special contractual obligations are observed, the so-called “Standard Data Protection Clauses“.
