Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our
enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for
the management of the Felber`s Grosshandel. The use of the Internet
pages of the Felber`s Grosshandel is possible without any indication
of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special
enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data
could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is
necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we
generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail
address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in
line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in
accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations
applicable to the Felber`s Grosshandel. By means of this data
protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the
general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal
data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are
informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the
rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Felber`s Grosshandel has implemented numerous
technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete
protection of personal data processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security
gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason,
every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via
alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the Felber`s Grosshandel is based
on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection
declaration should be legible and understandable for the general
public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure
this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the
following terms:
-
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable
natural person is one who can be identified, directly or
indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as
a name, an identification number, location data, an online
identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical,
physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social
identity of that natural person.
-
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person,
whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible
for the processing.
-
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is
performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether
or not by automated means, such as collection, recording,
organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration,
retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission,
dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or
combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
-
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data
with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
-
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal
data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain
personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to
analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's
performance at work, economic situation, health, personal
preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or
movements.
-
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a
manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a
specific data subject without the use of additional information,
provided that such additional information is kept separately and
is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure
that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or
identifiable natural person.
-
g) Controller or controller responsible for the
processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the
natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body
which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and
means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and
means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State
law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination
may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
-
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency
or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the
controller.
-
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency
or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed,
whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which
may receive personal data in the framework of a particular
inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not
be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those
public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable
data protection rules according to the purposes of the
processing.
-
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority,
agency or body other than the data subject, controller,
processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the
controller or processor, are authorised to process personal
data.
-
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific,
informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes
by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative
action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data
relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member
states of the European Union and other provisions related to data
protection is:
Felber`s Grosshandel
Coswiger Str. 10
12681 Berlin
Deutschland
Phone: 030/5456222
Email: info@felbers.de
Website: www.felbers.de
3. Collection of general data and information
The website of the Felber`s Grosshandel collects a series of general
data and information when a data subject or automated system calls
up the website. This general data and information are stored in the
server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and
versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing
system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our
website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date
and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol
address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the
accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information
that may be used in the event of attacks on our information
technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Felber`s
Grosshandel does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.
Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our
website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well
as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our
information technology systems and website technology, and (4)
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary
for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the
Felber`s Grosshandel analyzes anonymously collected data and
information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data
protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an
optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The
anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from
all personal data provided by a data subject.
4. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the Felber`s Grosshandel, users are given the
opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input
mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are
transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the
controller.
The Felber`s Grosshandel informs its customers and business partners
regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The
enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if
(1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data
subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail
will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for
the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the
double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove
whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is
authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP
address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the
registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The
collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the
(possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later
date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the
controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the
newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition,
subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as
this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a
registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of
modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change
in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal
data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The
subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject
at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the
data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked
at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a
corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible
to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the
website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller
in a different way.
5. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the Felber`s Grosshandel contains so-called
tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in
such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file
recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the
success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the
embedded tracking pixel, the Felber`s Grosshandel may see if and
when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the
e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the
newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to
optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the
content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the
data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third
parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the
respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the
double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data
will be deleted by the controller. The Felber`s Grosshandel
automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the
newsletter as a revocation.
6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the
data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of
storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or
other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is
subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period
prescribed by the European legislator or another competent
legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or
erased in accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the data subject
-
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to
whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject
wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the
Felber`s Grosshandel, he or she may, at any time, contact any
employee of the controller. An employee of Felber`s Grosshandel
shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with
immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is
obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data,
the controller, taking account of available technology and the
cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including
technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the
personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by
such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of,
those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An
employees of the Felber`s Grosshandel will arrange the necessary
measures in individual cases.
-

legal claims.
-
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to

the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of
the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data

personal data stored by the Felber`s Grosshandel, he or she may
at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee
of the Felber`s Grosshandel will arrange the restriction of the
processing.
-
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her,
which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly
used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right
to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance
from the controller to which the personal data have been
provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant

9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of
Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by
automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for
the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or
in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability
pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall
have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from
one controller to another, where technically feasible and when
doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of
others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data
subject may at any time contact any employee of the Felber`s
Grosshandel.
-
g) Right to object

legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her
particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal

based on these provisions.
The Felber`s Grosshandel shall no longer process the personal
data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate
compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override
the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for
the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the Felber`s Grosshandel processes personal data for direct
marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to
object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him
or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the
extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data

to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of
personal data concerning him or her by the Felber`s Grosshandel
for scientific or historical research purposes, or for
statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR,
unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task
carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may
contact any employee of the Felber`s Grosshandel. In addition,
the data subject is free in the context of the use of
information society services, and notwithstanding Directive

using technical specifications.
-
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on
automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal
effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly
affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is
necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract
between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not
authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller
is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to
safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate
interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit
consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the
performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data
controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit
consent, the Felber`s Grosshandel shall implement suitable
measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and
legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human
intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or
her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning
automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any
time, contact any employee of the Felber`s Grosshandel.
-
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his
or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the

8. Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Getty Images Photos
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the
enterprise Getty Images. Getty Images is an American picture agency.
A picture agency is an enterprise which provides images and other
image material on the market. Generally, picture agencies market
photographs, illustrations and footage. A picture agency licenses
different customers, in particular Internet website operators,
editors of print and television media and advertising agencies, the
images used by them.
The operating company of the Getty Images components is Getty Images
International, 1st floor, The Herbert Building, The Park,
Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland.
Getty Images allows the embedding of stock images (where possibly
free of charge). Embedding is the inclusion or integration of any
specific foreign content, e.g. text, video or image data provided by
a foreign website, and then appears on the own website. A so-called
embedded code is used to embed. An embedded code is an HTML code
that is integrated into a website from a website owner. When an
embedded code is integrated by a website owner, the external content
of the other website is displayed by default immediately, as long as
a website is visited. To display third-party content, the external
content is loaded directly from the other Internet site. Getty
Images provides further information about the embedded of content
under http://www.gettyimages.de/resources/embed.
Through the technical implementation of the embedded code, which
allows the image display of the images of Getty Images, the IP
address of the Internet connection, through which the data subject
accesses our website, is transmitted to Getty Images. Further, Getty
Images collects our website, browser type, browser language, and
time and length of access. In addition, Getty Images may collect
navigation information, which is information about which of our
subpages have been visited by the data subject and which links have
been clicked on, as well as other interactions that the data subject
has carried out when visiting our website. This data may be stored
and analyzed by Getty Images.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of
Getty Images may be retrieved under
https://www.gettyimages.de/company/privacy-policy.
9. Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of
Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is
a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering,
and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A
web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website
from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which
sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a
sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the
optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit
analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses
the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application
the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is
abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a
Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to
the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the
traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and
information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to
provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites,
and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet
site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology
system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained
above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze
the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual
pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and
into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject
will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics
component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement
of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical
procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal
information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which
serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and
clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access
time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency
of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our
Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the
Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to
Google in the United States of America. These personal data are
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass
these personal data collected through the technical procedure to
third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of
cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding
adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the
setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used
would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition,
cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any
time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a
collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is
related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of
this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this
purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the
link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This
browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any
data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be
transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser
add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information
technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted,
or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser
add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was
uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is
attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is
possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the
browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of
Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is
further explained under the following Link
https://www.google.com/analytics/.
10. Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Google-AdWords
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords.
Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the
advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the
Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to
pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on
Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes
the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In
the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant
web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the
previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the
inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties
and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an
insertion of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion
cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data
subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained
above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is
not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not
expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain
sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were
called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google
and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an
AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or
canceled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion
cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website.
These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total
number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to
ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize
our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google
AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could
identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet
pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet
pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet
access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the
United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google
in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data
collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by
our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of
the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also
prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by
Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser
or other software programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest
based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must
access from each of the browsers in use the link
www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of
Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
11. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of
PayPal as a payment processor
On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal.
PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed
via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or
business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments
through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A
PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there
are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger
online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also
accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l.
& Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject chooses "PayPal" as the payment option in the
online shop during the ordering process, we automatically transmit
the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment
option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data
required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last
name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile
phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The
processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal
data, which are in connection with the respective order.
The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and
fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to
PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission
is given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the
controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by
PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended
for identity and creditworthiness checks.
PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and
service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is
necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be
processed in the order.
The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the
handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation
shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed,
used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment
processing.

12. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing
operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing
purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is
the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for
the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing
is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such
processing operations which are necessary for carrying out
pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries
concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a
legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required,
such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is
based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of
personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the
data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case,
for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name,
age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to
be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the
processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR.
This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not
covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is
necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by
our company or by a third party, except where such interests are
overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of
the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such
processing operations are particularly permissible because they have
been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He
considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data
subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
13. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a
third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit.
f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor
of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
14. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal
data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration
of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long
as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or
the initiation of a contract.
15. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual
requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract;
Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data;
possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by
law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual
provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes
it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject
provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed
by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with
personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The
non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that
the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before
personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must
contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject
whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or
contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether
there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
16. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or
profiling.
