5.2 WhatsApp Business

DSGVO to process and answer your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you to provide additional information (order number, customer number, address or email address) via WhatsApp in order to assign your request to a specific transaction.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of his WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of his chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO when using the app on his device for the first time by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use.

9) Nutzung Ihrer Daten für Direktwerbung

9.1 Registration for our e-mail newsletter

If you register for our e-mail newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. Your e-mail address is the only mandatory information for sending the newsletter. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. For the dispatch of the newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will not send you an e-mail newsletter until you have expressly confirmed to us that you agree to receive newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future by clicking on a corresponding link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a DSGVO. When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address entered by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of advertising in the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a message to the person responsible mentioned at the beginning. After you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data in ways that are legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

9.2 Newsletter dispatch via MailChimp

Our e-mail newsletters are sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/), to whom we pass on the data you provide when you register for the newsletter. This disclosure is made in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO and serves our legitimate interest in the use of an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.

MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For evaluation purposes, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files stored on our website. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on, if applicable. With the help of the web beacons, Mailchimp automatically generates general, non-personal statistics about the reaction behaviour to newsletter campaigns. On the basis of our justified interest in the statistical evaluation of the newsletter campaigns to optimise advertising communication and better focus on recipient interests, the web beacons also collect and utilise data of the respective newsletter recipient (e-mail address, time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO. These data allow an individual conclusion about the newsletter recipient and are processed by Mailchimp for the automated creation of statistics which show whether a certain recipient has opened a newsletter message.

If you would like to deactivate data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must cancel your newsletter subscription.

MailChimp may also use this data according to article 6 paragraph 1 letter f DSGVO itself due to its own legitimate interest in the design and optimization of the service according to the needs of the customer as well as for market research purposes, for example to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass them on to third parties.

In order to protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing agreement (“Data-Processing-Agreement”) with MailChimp based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp. This data processing agreement can be viewed at the following Internet address: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/

MailChimp is also certified under the us-European Privacy Shield agreement and is committed to comply with the EU data protection regulations.

Please note that WhatsApp gets access to the address book of the mobile device we use to send the newsletter and automatically transfers phone numbers stored in the address book to a Facebook server in the USA.

To send our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device whose address book stores only the WhatsApp contact data of our newsletter recipients. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of his WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of his chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO when using the app on his device for the first time by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use.

Insofar as the information collected in this way contains a personal reference, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO based on our justified interest in effective customer service and the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation purposes.

The data collected with tawk.to technologies will not be used to personally identify the visitor of this website and will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without the separately granted consent of the person concerned. To avoid the storage of tawk.to cookies, you can set your internet browser so that no cookies can be stored on your computer in the future or that already stored cookies are deleted. However, switching off all cookies may mean that some functions on our website can no longer be executed. You can object to the collection and storage of data for the purpose of creating a pseudonymised user profile at any time with effect for the future by sending us your objection informally by e-mail to the e-mail address given in the imprint.

If applicable, this website also uses the service of tawk.to to record and organize incoming requests via the website contact form and the contact e-mail addresses of the website operator and to store them in a ticket system for chronological processing. In this case, the data transmitted when the request is sent is transferred to the talk.to ticket system and stored there ready for retrieval. This data processing serves exclusively to process the respective inquiry and is based on our justified interest in an effective chronological inquiry management to optimize customer and prospective customer service in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Data transmitted to tawk.to via the ticket system will be deleted after final processing of the request. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been conclusively clarified and if there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with SMS SIA, the provider of tawk.to, by which we commit SMS SIA to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.

  • Right to limit processing in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO: You have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be limited, as long as the accuracy of your data which you dispute is verified, if you refuse to delete your data because of unauthorised data processing and demand instead that the processing of your data be limited, if you require your data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, after we no longer require these data after the purpose has been achieved, or if you have lodged an objection for reasons relating to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been established whether our justified reasons outweigh the objection;
  • Right to information in accordance with Art. 19 DSGVO: If you have asserted the right to rectify, erase or limit the processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or limitation of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

16) Dauer der Speicherung von personenbezogenen Daten

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if relevant – additionally by the respective legal retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When personal data are processed based on an express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DSGVO, these data are stored until the person concerned withdraws his or her consent.

If there are legal retention periods for data which are processed within the framework of legal or similar obligations based on Art. 6 Para. 1 letter b DSGVO, these data are routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract and/or we have no justified interest in their further storage.

When personal data are processed based on Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO, these data are stored until the person concerned exercises his or her right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO, unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the person concerned, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

When personal data are processed for the purpose of direct advertising based on Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO, these data are stored until the person concerned exercises his or her right of objection under Art. 21 para. 2 DSGVO.

Moreover, unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
