I. General information on data processing

1. scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of the users of our homepage only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website, our contents and services. 

In principle, the collection and use of personal data of our users only after their consent. An exception to this principle applies in cases where the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations or where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal bases for the processing of personal data result in principle from: 

Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO when obtaining the consent of the data subject.

Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO for processing operations that serve to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. Included here are processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO for processing operations that are necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation. 

Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. d DSGVO if vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary. 

Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO, if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest.

3. data deletion and storage period

Users' personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies. Storage beyond this may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

 

II. Use of our website, general information 

1. description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the user's computer system. The following information is collected in the process: 

Information about the browser type and the version used
Operating system of the user 
Internet service provider of the user
IP address of the user 
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website
The described data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.


2. purpose and legal basis for data processing 

The temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. 

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

The collection of their personal data for the provision of our website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Therefore, there is no possibility for the user to object. 


3. duration of storage

Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. If your data is collected to ensure the provision of the website, the data will be deleted when the respective session has ended. 

If your data is stored in log files, it will be deleted after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible, in which case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated. In this way, it is no longer possible to identify the calling client.

V. Your rights / rights of the data subject

According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights as a data subject: 

1. right to information
You have the right to receive information from us as the responsible party as to whether and which personal data concerning you are being processed by us, as well as further information in accordance with the legal requirements under Art. 13, 14 DSGVO.

You could assert your right to information at: dsb@perpedes.de. 

2. right to rectification

4. right to deletion 
If the reasons outlined in Art. 17 DSGVO apply, you may request that the personal data concerning you be deleted without delay. 

We would like to point out that the right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary for one of the exceptional circumstances mentioned in Art. 17 (3).

5. right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Furthermore, you have the right to be informed about these recipients.

6. right to data portability
According to the GDPR, you also have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that has been provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request its transfer to another controller.

7. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law.

VI. Data transfer outside the EU

The GDPR ensures an equally high level of data protection within the European Union. When selecting our service providers, we therefore rely on European partners wherever possible if your personal data is to be processed. Only in exceptional cases will we have data processed outside the European Union in the context of using third-party services. We will only allow your data to be processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DSGVO are fulfilled. This means that the processing of your data may then only take place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or the observance of officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard data protection clauses".

 

VII. Newsletter

1. general
You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our homepage, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent. The data that you enter in the input mask during registration will be transmitted to us.

CleverReach is a service with which the newsletter dispatch can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g. e-mail address) is stored on CleverReach's servers in Germany or Ireland.
Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of the newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyze how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. For more information on data analysis through CleverReach newsletters, please visit:

www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time in your user profile. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

If you do not want any analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of CleverReach after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remains unaffected by this.

For more details, please refer to CleverReach's privacy policy at: www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

We have concluded an order data processing contract with CleverReach and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using CleverReach.

After registration, you have the opportunity to view our prices and order products. In addition, registration gives you access to our download material.

Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process when the registration on our website is cancelled or modified. 

This is the case for data collected during the registration process for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures when the data is no longer necessary for the implementation of the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, there may be a need to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to fulfill contractual or legal obligations.

Continuing obligations require the storage of personal data during the term of the contract. In addition, warranty periods must be observed and data must be stored for tax purposes. It is not possible to determine in general terms which storage periods must be observed in this regard, but must be determined on a case-by-case basis for the contracts and contracting parties concluded in each case.

You have the option to cancel your registration on our homepage at any time. Furthermore, you can also have the data stored about you changed at any time. Please contact us for this purpose. Please use the contact form on our homepage or call us. 

 

If the data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion. 


X. Career portal

On this website, we display job offers to which interested parties can apply by e-mail. Unsolicited applications can also be sent to us by e-mail. In the event of an incoming application, we process the data received from the applicant exclusively for the purpose of processing for potential filling of the vacant position.

The primary legal basis for this is Article 88 DSGVO in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG.

Within our company, only those persons who are responsible for processing the application procedure and who are the decision-makers regarding the application outcome will have access to your personal data.

We delete your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted no later than six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

 

XI. store

You have the possibility to order our goods and services directly on our homepage. In the course of the ordering process, we use the contact data you provided during registration.

If you would like to order in our store, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need for the processing of your order. 
Within the company, access to your data is granted to those departments that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. Service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may also receive data for these purposes. These are in particular the following companies:
Service providers for order processing (services in the deposit area), IT services (server hosting), debt collection and sales and marketing. 

In addition, we pass on your data to the corresponding payment and delivery service providers for the processing of the contract. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

We are required by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of 10 years. However, we restrict processing after 6 years, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. To prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data, especially financial data, the ordering process takes place via encrypted connection.

 

XII. Social Media Presence

We maintain fan pages within various social networks and platforms with the aim of communicating with customers, interested parties and users active there and informing them about our services there.

We would like to point out that your personal data may be processed outside the European Union in the process, so that risks may arise for you in this regard (for example, when enforcing your rights under European / German law).
 

User data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and resulting interests of the users. These usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

The processing of the users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If users are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e. declare their consent e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a. DSGVO.

For more information about the processing of your personal data and your objection options, please refer to the links of the respective provider listed below. The assertion of information and other rights of the data subjects can also be made against the providers, then only they have direct access to the data of the users and have the corresponding information. Of course, we are available for queries and support you if you need help.
