When we process personal data

We process personal data that you actively share with us. We also automatically process personal data as a result of using our website. Accordingly, your personal data may be processed in the following cases:

• Visiting our website;
• Registering for the e-mail newsletter;
• Contacting us;
• Requesting informative material;
• Advertising on ausgezeichnet.org;
• Defending against attacks on our technical infrastructure.

Please see the information below for more details.

Visiting our website

When you visit our website, the company we task with running the website processes and stores technical information about your end device (operating system, screen resolution and other non-personal features) and browser (version, language settings), in particular the computer’s public IP address with which you are visiting our website, together with the data and time of the visit. The IP address is a unique numerical address that your end device uses to send and retrieve data on the internet. Neither we nor our service provider generally know the identity of the person using an IP address, unless you share data with us while using our website that allow us to identify you. In addition, a user can be identified if legal action is taken against this user (e.g. if our website is attacked) and we learn their identity as part of the investigation. This means that you do not need to worry about us matching your IP address to you.

Our service provider uses the processed data on a non-personal basis for statistical purposes so that we can tell which devices with which settings are used to visit our website so that we can optimise this where possible. These statistics do not include any personal data. The legal basis for producing the statistics is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

The IP address is used so that you can access and use our website and to detect and prevent attacks against our service provider or our website. Unfortunately, there are constantly attacks carried out to harm website operators or users (e.g. preventing access, spying on data, spreading harmful software (e.g. viruses) or other unlawful purposes). These attacks prevent the proper functioning of the company’s computer centre and negatively affect the use of our website/its functionality and the safety of visitors to our website. The IP address and the time of access are processed to prevent such attacks. Processing by us and our service provider pursues the legitimate interest of ensuring the functionality of our website and preventing unlawful attacks against us or visitors to our website. The legal basis of processing is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

The IP data stored are (through anonymisation) erased when they are no longer required to detect or prevent an attack.

General contact inquiries

If you contact us through one of the contact channels provided, we use the data you provide us to respond to your inquiry. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in responding to your query in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the purpose of your inquiry is to conclude a contract with us, another legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The data are erased once your inquiry has been resolved. If we are legally obliged to store data for a longer period of time, they are erased once this period ends.

Orders of materials

We use the data you provide for ordering materials to process your inquiry and to send the material (by post). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in responding to your query in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the purpose of your inquiry is to conclude a contract with us, another legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The data are erased once your inquiry has been resolved. This does not apply if you request informative material that, by sending, we can prove that we have provided you with information as required by law. In this case, we store the data for the duration of the documentation obligation. If we are legally obliged to store data for a longer period of time for other reasons, they are erased once this period ends.

Newsletter and anonymous collection of usage data

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, the data you provide are processed to create and send the newsletter and as verification that you have signed up to our newsletter until you unsubscribe. The legal basis of processing is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. To receive the newsletter, you must click on the confirmation link in the verification e-mail that we send you after registering to confirm your permission. By clicking on the link, we process the public IP address of the computer used to open the link, as well as the data and time of this. We process these data to verify that you have confirmed receipt of our e-mail newsletter 

The legal basis of processing is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest for doing so is to meet our documentation obligation regarding your subscription 

You can revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can find a link to do so at the end of each newsletter. 

We erase your data when you unsubscribe from the newsletter. We erase the data that we require as evidence that you have consented to receiving the newsletter after the end of the limitation period for documentation obligations 

We use an external service provider for our newsletter who works for us as a processor.

Use of cookies

We use cookies on our website to ensure technical functionality, to understand how visitors use our website and to save default settings set up by a user. We also use them to manage our advertising.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by your browser when using our website. We can read these cookies again if you revisit our website at a later time. The storage period of cookies varies. In your browser settings, you can choose which cookies to accept at any time, but this may mean that our website no longer works properly. You can also delete cookies yourself at any time. If you do not do so, when storing the cookies we can state the duration for which a cookie is to be stored on your computer. A distinction should be made here between session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies are erased by your browser when you leave our website or close the browser. Permanent cookies are stored for the duration indicated at the time of storing. 

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Cookies from third party providers that we use for advertising. For more details, please read the information on YouTube and ausgezeichnet.org.
• Functional cookies, which are used to enable certain features you wish to use.
• Required cookies, which are needed to use the features on our website (e.g. recognising whether you have logged on). Without these cookies, certain features cannot be provided.

YouTube

We have embedded YouTube videos on our website. YouTube is a service by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

All YouTube videos are embedded on our portal on the basis of YouTube’s “Privacy Enhanced Mode”. YouTube says that it stores information about visitors to a website only if they click on and play the video. You can find further information on this at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en-GB in the section “Turn on privacy-enhanced mode”.

Playing videos involves large amounts of data, especially when different website users watch videos at the same time. In addition, video playback is accelerated and so playback quality is improved if they are played from a server that is as close as possible to the website visitor. On account of the considerable technical difficult involved, we cannot guarantee this. We have therefore embedded the videos using YouTube. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

ausgezeichnet.org

On our website, we have embedded an evaluation tool from AUBII GmbH, Alsterufer 34, 20354 Hamburg, which you can use to review our company at  ausgezeichnet.org ‎ Your feedback helps us recognise any dissatisfaction so that we can resolve this where possible. We are of course particularly delighted to receive 5-star reviews! We are proud to have received so many positive reviews and so we display these on our website. ausgezeichnet.org works for us on the basis of a processing contract. To enable these features, ausgezeichnet.org stores cookies on your browser exclusively for technical purposes. These cannot be used to identify you. If you rate us on ausgezeichnet.org , the legal basis for processing your data is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
