If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form including the contact data you provided there will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. These data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time.

For this purpose, an informal e-mail notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request including all personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and / or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing

Pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the execution of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you for contract processing and processing your enquiries. After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted at the end of the tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use of data, which is permitted by law and about which we will inform you below. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can take place by a message to the responsible place by E-Mail or in writing by post.

Data processing for order processing

In order to process your order, we work together with service providers who support us in whole or in part in the execution of concluded contracts. If you instruct us to provide a service or send goods, your personal data will only be used without your separate consent to the extent necessary for the provision of the service or the execution of the contract. This includes in particular the transfer of your data to transport companies, credit companies or other services used to provide the service or contract processing.

The personal data collected by us are passed on within the framework of contract processing, e.g. to the transport company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the framework of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. The legal basis for the passing on of the data is here art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR.

We disclose customer accounts and personal data about customers if we are legally obliged to do so or if such disclosure is necessary to enforce our general terms and conditions or other agreements or to protect our rights as well as the rights of our customers and those of third parties.

YouTube

This site uses the Youtube embedding-feature to display and play videos from “Youtube” which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

The extended data protection mode is used here, which according to the provider only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) is/are played.

Social networks

Our website does not use social media plugins. The logos of the social networks Facebook, Instagram, Xing and LinkedIn displayed on our website are only linked to the corresponding profile of our company. If you click on a logo, you will be redirected to the external website of the respective social network.

Our Social Media Appearances

Data processing through social networks

We run publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail can be found below. Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). When you visit our social media sites, numerous data protection-relevant processing processes are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end-user device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-related advertising can be displayed inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-related advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, the operators of the social media portals may be able to carry out further processing operations. Details on this can be found in the terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media sites are designed to ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. Here it concerns a justified interest in the sense of art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks are based (if necessary) on deviating legal bases, which are to be indicated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent in the sense of the art. 6 exp. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Person responsible and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing processes triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data transferability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).

Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options are largely based on the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete, your permission for storage revoked or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end-user device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies” which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your abbreviated IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers, where it may also be transmitted to servers of Google LLC. in the United States.

In case of transmission of personal data to the Google LLC., located in the United States, Google LLC. Is certified for the US-European Privacy Shield Agreement which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applied in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here:https://www.privacyshield.gov/list

This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor streams which is carried out via a user ID. The first time the page is accessed, the user is provided with a unique, permanent and anonymized ID which is set for all devices.
This makes it possible to assign interaction data from different devices and from different sessions to a single user. The User ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.

This website also uses Google Analytics’ “demographic features”. This allows the creation of reports that contain statements about demographic data such as age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-related advertising by Google, the Google Display Network, and visitor data from third-party providers. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown immediately.

The collection and storage of data via the User ID can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems that you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This will cause Google to shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

Data collection and storage via the user ID can revoked at any time with effect for
the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems that you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.

Use of Google Maps

On our website we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographic information. This service shows you our location and facilitates your possible way to us.

When you visit the subpages where the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google’s servers. In this case the information can also be sent to the Google LLC. server in the United States. This happens unattached of whether Google provides an account that you are logged in to, or if you do not have a user account. When you’re signed in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want to be linked to your profile on Google, you’ll need to sign out before you enable the button. Google stores your data (even for non-registered users) as a usage profile and analyzes it.The collection, storage and analysis are carried out in accordance with Article 6 of Law para. 1 lit.f GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the display of personalized advertising, market research and / or the needs-based design of Google sites. You have the contradictory legal against the creation of these user profiles – whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

In case of transmission of personal data to the Google LLC., located in the United States, Google LLC. is certified for the US-European Privacy Shield Agreement which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applied in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here:https://www.privacyshield.gov/list

If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google within the scope of the use of Google Maps, there is also the possibility to completely deactivate the web service of Google Maps by switching off the application JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data about the use of our website by website visitors. This enables us to find out, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they came. We also collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymisation
We use IP anonymisation for the analysis with Matomo. Your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Objection to advertising mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action against unsolicited mailing or e-mailing of spam and other similar advertising materials.

Right of objection

If we process your personal data as part of a weighing of interests on the basis of our predominantly legitimate interest, you have the right at any time to object to this processing with effect for the future for reasons arising from your particular situation.

If you make use of your right of objection, we will terminate the processing of the data concerned. However, we reserve the right to further processing if we can prove that there are compelling reasons for the processing which are worthy of protection and which outweigh your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed by us for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising. You may exercise your right to object as described above.

If you make use of your right of objection, we will stop processing the data concerned for direct marketing purposes.

Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods). After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for contract fulfilment or contract initiation and/or if we no longer have a justified interest in further storage.

Updating the data protection declaration

If the SÜLZLE Group introduces new products or services, changes Internet procedures or if Internet and computer security technology develops further, this data protection declaration will be updated. The changes will be published here.
