General information on the processing of personal data

Scope of the processing

In principle, we only process our users’ personal data when it is necessary to do so in order to provide a functioning website and for the content and services we offer. Personal data is only processed on the basis of currently applicable legal foundations.

 

Purposes of the processing

The purposes of the processing of personal data lie in conducting the business of the HAIDRO GmbH and all associated secondary business.

  • Legal basis for the processing
  • The legal basis for processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party is Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR. This also applies for processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
  • If the processing is necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR forms the legal basis for the processing.
  • When we obtain consent for processing operations for personal data from the data subject, Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR forms the legal basis.
  • When the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1)(c) GDPR forms the legal basis.
  • In the event that the processing of personal data is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6 (1)(d) GDPR forms the legal basis

Statutory or contractual duties to provide personal data

There may be statutory or contractual requirements for you to provide personal data under certain circumstances, or it may be necessary to do so in order to enter into a contract.

In particular, you may be obliged to provide personal data to us when entering into contracts. Failure to provide the personal data could mean it is not possible to enter into the contract with you.

 

Transfer of personal data

We only share your personal data with third parties when

  • it is necessary for the performance of an existing contract with you.
  • it is necessary for the protection of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, unless such interests are overridden by your (the data subject’s) interests or fundamental rights and freedoms requiring the protection of personal data.
  • we are legally required to do so.
  • it is necessary for the enforcement of our claims and rights.
  • we receive requests from official institutions (e.g. supervisory authorities or law enforcement authorities, when transfer is necessary for the prevention of threats to public security and order and the prosecution of criminal offences).

However, in the case of such transfer, the personal data may only be used for the purpose concerned.

 

 

Involvement of external service providers

Like most other companies, we are not specialists in everything. We therefore use service providers to support us in some areas of our business activity, e.g.

  • IT service providers to maintain our infrastructure
  • IT developers to develop our applications
  • computer centres to securely run our services
  • agencies and printers to send out email newsletters or printed information

We have entered into the legally required contracts on processing that specifically state what the service provider may do with which data. In particular, transfer to third parties is also excluded here. In these contracts, service providers are placed under obligation to comply with the applicable data protection provisions.

 

 

Data erasure and storage period

Personal data will be erased or made unavailable as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage can also be carried out if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other rules to which the controller is subject. Data will only be made unavailable or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards lapses, unless continued storage of the data is necessary.

 

Operation of the website and creation of log files

In principle, you can visit our website without registering or logging in. When you visit our website, data is collected by the web server for the transfer of data (information on the system of the computer used) and sometimes stored in log files on the web server. This data is so-called “usage data”.

Data protection information on provision of the website and production of log files

Description and scope of data processing

When you visit our website, data is collected from the web server for the transfer of data (information from the computer system of the requesting computer) and sometimes stored in log files on the web server, which give information on e.g. the end device and browser used, the time of access, the so-called referrer and the quantity of data transferred.

The following data is collected in this way:

  • Document requested (URL)
  • Quantity of data requested
  • Status of the request (success/error)
  • Information on the browser type and version used
  • The user’s IP address
  • The user’s operating system
  • Internet service provider of the user
  • The referring URL (referrer)
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website
  • Websites which are visited by the user’s system via our website

The data is stored in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with the user’s other personal data.

 

Data retrieval / download

With each retrieval of a file (download), additional data about this process is stored in a log file:

  • Name of the file retrieved
  • Date and time of access
  • Quantity of data requested
  • Status of the request (success/error)
  • The user’s IP address

 

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

 

Purpose of data processing

It is necessary for the system to store the IP address temporarily to enable the website to be sent to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes is not carried out in this context.

We also have a legitimate interest in data processing for these purposes in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

 

Duration of storage

The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection. When data is collected to operate a website, this is the case when the relevant session ends.

When data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Extended storage is possible. In this case, users’ IP addresses will be erased or distorted so that assignment to the requesting client is no longer possible.

 

Right to object and right to rectification

Recording data to operate the website and storing the data in log files is essential for running the website. Therefore, the user does not have any right to object.

If you do not want your profile to be associated with YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.

Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)

In order to present our contents correctly and in a graphically appealing manner in all browsers, we use script and font libraries such as Google Webfonts on this website. Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache in order to prevent repeated loading. The retrieval of script or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. As far as can be seen, the IP address is transferred in this process at the least. It is theoretically possible for the operator of relevant libraries to collect other data.

If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, contents are displayed in a standard font.

 

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to provide visual presentations of geographical information. When Google Maps is used, data on the use of the map functions by visitors is collected, processed and used by Google. You can find more detailed information on the data processing carried out by Google in the Google privacy policies. You can also change your personal data protection settings in the data privacy centre there.

You can amend your settings relating to Google products by following the instructions on managing your information.
