Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external parties. In some cases, personal data must also be transmitted to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary to fulfil a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data based on a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IS PROVIDED IN THIS DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE THAT THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS FOR PROCESSING WHICH ARE WORTHY OF PROTECTION AND OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 DSGVO). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists regardless of other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to request information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions about the issue of personal data. Right to restriction of processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. If it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – except for their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published in accordance with the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example by spam e-mails.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Anders Björk GmbH in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. Anders Björk GmbH processes the data generated in connection with idCONSENT solely on our instructions. It uses contractually bound subprocessors for the technical operation of the service.

Purpose of processing

idCONSENT is used to:

5. Analytics and statistics

Web analytics with idLYTICS

We use the web analytics service idLYTICS on this website. idLYTICS is based on the self-hosted analytics software Matomo and is used to statistically evaluate the use of our website. The analysis helps us understand which content is accessed, how visitors navigate through the website and where technical or content-related improvements may be useful.

idLYTICS is provided to us by:

Anders Björk GmbH
Hafenstraße 35
23568 Lübeck
Germany

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Anders Björk GmbH in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. Anders Björk GmbH processes the data generated in connection with idLYTICS solely on our instructions. It uses contractually bound subprocessors for the technical operation of the service.

Purpose of processing

idLYTICS is used in particular to:

  • measure the reach of the website,
  • statistically evaluate accessed content,
  • identify typical navigation paths,
  • record downloads and outbound links,
  • identify technical problems and slow pages, and
  • improve content, navigation and technical features.

Activation only after consent

idLYTICS is activated only after you have expressly consented to statistical analysis through our privacy settings. Before you give your consent, no connection to the idLYTICS analytics system is established and no analytics data is transmitted to idLYTICS.

Data processed

After you have given your consent, the following data in particular may be processed:

  • pages accessed and page titles,
  • date and time of access,

  • preferred language, and
  • screen resolution.

For technical reasons, the complete IP address is transmitted to the analytics server when the connection is established. It is truncated by two bytes before being permanently stored in the analytics system. The complete IP address is not permanently stored in the Matomo database.

Cookie-free configuration

idLYTICS is operated without Matomo analytics cookies and without a user ID. The analytics data is not used to recognise you across different websites or to create a persistent personal usage profile. Your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting is respected. If this setting is enabled, idLYTICS does not perform any analysis.

Legal bases

The processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where the analytics script reads or processes information from your device, the processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Storage period

Detailed analytics data is stored for twelve months. It is then deleted or aggregated in such a way that individual visits can no longer be traced. Aggregated statistical reports may be stored for up to 36 months. These reports do not contain visit histories that can be directly attributed to an individual visitor.

Place of processing

Processing takes place in Germany or within the European Union. Analytics data is not intended to be transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.

Withdrawal of consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future using the “Privacy settings” link provided on this website. After withdrawal, no further analytics data will be collected. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
