General information on data processing
Scope of personal data processing
As a matter of principle, we only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. As a rule, the processing of personal data of our users is only carried out after the user's consent. An exception applies in cases in which prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
Legal basis for processing personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
In the case of the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The 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.
The Brockhaus Group uses products and services for analysis and marketing purposes, which are provided by Visable GmbH (www.visable.com) in cooperation with the latter. For this purpose, tracking pixel technology and cookies are used to collect, process and store data for the creation of at least pseudonymised and, where possible and sensible, completely anonymised user profiles. The data collected, which may initially still contain personal data, will be transmitted to Visable or collected directly by Visable and used there to create the above-mentioned usage profiles. There is no personal identification of visitors to this website and no other personal data is merged with the user profiles. If IP addresses are identified as personal data, they will be deleted immediately. You can object to the forms of processing described here at any time with effect for the future: Exclude visitor registration (Note: Link sets a 1st party cookie for an opt-out)
Provision of the website and creation of log files
Description and scope of data processing
Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Purpose of data processing
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used 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.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Duration of storage
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.
Objection and removal option
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
Contact form and e-mail contact
Description and scope of data processing
There is a contact form on our website, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:
At the time the message is sent, the following data will also be stored:
Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the submission process and reference will be made to this privacy policy.
Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if the user has consented.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Purpose of data processing
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the submission process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
Objection and removal option
The user has the option of withdrawing his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted.
