Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Modellbau Huber GmbH. Use of the Modellbau Huber GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Modellbau Huber GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, Modellbau Huber GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

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 analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

1.f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means 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 organizational measures ensuring that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

1.g) Controller / person responsible for processing

Controller means 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.

4. Cookies

The websites of Modellbau Huber GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that enables websites and servers to assign the cookie to the specific browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other browsers that contain other cookies. A specific browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Modellbau Huber GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to facilitate the use of our website for users. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

5. Collection of general data and information

Each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the Modellbau Huber GmbH website, a series of general data and information is collected. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded: (1) 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 subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for threat prevention in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, Modellbau Huber GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed in order to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, this anonymously collected data and information is evaluated statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Registration on our website

The data subject has no possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data.

Through registration on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s internet service provider (ISP), the date, and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because only in this way misuse of our services can be prevented and, if necessary, these data make it possible to investigate crimes that have been committed. In this respect, storing this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. These data are not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller’s data records.

The controller shall provide any data subject at any time, upon request, with information as to what personal data about the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that no legal retention obligations conflict with this. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Rights of the data subject

8.a) Right of confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

8.b) Right of access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

* the purposes of the processing
* the categories of personal data concerned
* the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

8.c) Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

8.d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

* The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
* The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
* The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
* The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
* The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
* The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If any of the above grounds apply and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Modellbau Huber GmbH, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. An employee of Modellbau Huber GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay.

If the personal data have been made public by Modellbau Huber GmbH and our company, as the controller, is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Modellbau Huber GmbH shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. An employee of Modellbau Huber GmbH will take the necessary steps in individual cases.

8.e) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

* The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
* The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests restriction of their use instead.
* The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
* The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Modellbau Huber GmbH, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. An employee of Modellbau Huber GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.

8.f) Right to data portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which have been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that 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 their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of Modellbau Huber GmbH at any time.

8.g) Right to object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Modellbau Huber GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an 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 defense of legal claims.

If Modellbau Huber GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Modellbau Huber GmbH to processing for direct marketing purposes, Modellbau Huber GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them by Modellbau Huber GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Modellbau Huber GmbH or another employee at any time. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

8.h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has 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 them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized 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 based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Modellbau Huber GmbH 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 their point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights related to automated decision-making, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

8.i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

9. Data protection for applications and the application procedure

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

10. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and connect via friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller responsible for processing personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE). As part of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each access to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at [https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/](https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/), provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications may be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

11. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google AdSense

The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of advertisements on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party websites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of internet users by generating individual user profiles.

The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data for the purposes of online advertising and the calculation of commissions to Alphabet Inc. As part of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the data subject’s IP address, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, cookies already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in web pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, thereby making statistical evaluation possible. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can determine whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked. Tracking pixels serve, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, including the IP address, which are necessary for collecting and billing the displayed advertisements, are transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data are stored and processed in the USA. Alphabet Inc. may pass on these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

Google AdSense is explained in more detail at this link: [https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/](https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/)

12. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came from (so-called referrers), which subpages were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the add-on “_gat._anonymizeIp”. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when access to our websites is from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, compile online reports for us that show activities on our websites, and provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, are stored. Each time our websites are visited, these personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the USA. Google may pass on these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and to the processing of this data by Google, and of preventing such collection. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the following link: [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the data subject’s IT system is deleted, formatted or newly installed at a later time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of control, it can be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at [https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/](https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/) and at [http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html](http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html). Google Analytics is explained in more detail at [https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/](https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/).

13. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google+

The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ enables users, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and connect via friend requests.

The operating company of Google+ is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a display of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at [https://developers.google.com/+/](https://developers.google.com/+/)

If the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes with each access to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation given on this website is subsequently stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored therein, in other Google services, for example in the search results of the Google search engine, in the Google account of the data subject or in other locations, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimizing Google’s various services.

Google receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not.

If the data subject does not want personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our website.

Further information and Google’s applicable data protection provisions can be accessed at [https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/](https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/). Further notices from Google regarding the Google+1 button can be accessed at [https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy](https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy).

14. Data protection provisions regarding the use of YouTube

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips and other videos free of charge, and allows other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete films and TV programs, as well as music videos, trailers or user-created videos, can be accessed via the portal.

The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be accessed at [https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/](https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/). As part of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes when a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.

The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which are available at [https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/](https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/), provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

15. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our company 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, for processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor in our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary for the purposes of 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. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they were explicitly mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

16. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

Where processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

17. Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted provided that they are no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation.

18. Statutory or contractual requirements to provide personal data; necessity for contract conclusion; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual arrangements (e.g. details of the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

19. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
