3. PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND CREATION OF LOGFILES

BeIf you only use the website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we automatically collect the following data and information from the computer system of the calling computer every time the website is accessed:

  • The user’s IP address
  • Information about the browser type and the version used
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user’s system accessed the website
  • Content of the calls (specific pages)
  • Amount of data transferred in each case
  • Status code

The data is stored in the log files of our server. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

When using this general data, we do not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. The data is only evaluated statistically.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. lit.f) GDPR.

The temporary storage of the data by the system is necessary in order to

  • enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. To do this, the user’s IP address must be saved for the duration of the session.
  • to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it
  • to ensure the functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
  • to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after 7 days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to assign them to the calling client.

The collection of the 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, which is why there is no possibility of objection.

A contact form is available on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If you take advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and saved. These data are:

  • email address
  • message
  • name

At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

  • IP addresse of the user
  • date and time of registration

For the processing of the data, your consent is obtained as part of the sending process and reference is made to this data protection declaration.

It may be that we request further data in the form (information on the requested battery or charger or request). We need this data in order to be able to provide you with an offer.

You are welcome to contact us by email. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be saved. Insofar as this concerns information on communication channels (e.g. email address, telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via this communication channel, if necessary, in order to answer your request. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will only be used to process the conversation.

​The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only to process the establishment of contact or to prepare an offer. We will of course only use the data from your e-mail inquiries for the purpose for which you made them available to us when contacting us. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, 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 matter in question has been finally clarified, for example because the offer has been rejected.

Please contact the person responsible in accordance with Section 1. However, this revocation option only exists if the email contact does not serve to prepare or execute a contract.

7. Newsletter

With your consent, you can subscribe to our free newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 7 days, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. We also store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

If you purchase goods or services from us and enter your e-mail address, we may subsequently use it to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter is used exclusively for direct advertising for our own similar goods or services.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally.

To send the newsletter, we use Brevo from the provider sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, www.brevo.com. For this purpose, the logged data described above (IP address, registration/confirmation time) and the email address are stored for the purpose of sending and evaluating the newsletter as well as for optimizing our own services and for commercial purposes. However, Brevo does not use the data to write to the recipient itself or to pass it on to other third parties. Further information about Brevo can be found at https://www.brevo.com/de/dsgvo/.

The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter.

The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR if consent has been given. The legal basis for sending the newsletter based on the customer relationship is Art. 7 para. 3 UWG. The use of the mailing service provider, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The collection of other personal data (IP address, time of registration/confirmation) as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used and to be able to address the person personally.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Your e-mail address and other personal data will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The other personal data collected during the registration process (IP address, time of registration/confirmation) are generally deleted after a period of one month after unsubscribing.

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time and thus revoke your consent by clicking on the “Unsubscribe from newsletter” field in our newsletter unsubscriber or by sending us an email to info@allgaeubatterie.de or a message to the contact details provided in the legal notice. This also enables you to withdraw your consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the registration process (IP address, time of registration/confirmation). When you unsubscribe from the newsletter, we will simultaneously delete your data in Brevo and the statistical analyses.

7.1 Tracking

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent contain tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data [log files] mentioned in § 3 and the pixels with your e-mail address and an individual ID. The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, and direct personal identification is excluded. We record when you read our newsletters and which links you click on in them. This is also our legitimate interest. The legal basis for tracking is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The data is analyzed by our newsletter service. You can object to the processing of this information at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter.

7. SSL ENCRYPTION

Our website uses SSL encryption in the event of confidential or personal data being transmitted. This encryption is used, for example, for payment transactions and for inquiries to us via this website. To ensure that this encryption is actually active, you must monitor this on your part. The status of the encryption can be seen in the browser line; in the case of encryption, this changes from “http: //” to https: //. In the case of encryption, your data cannot be read by third parties. If the encryption is not active, please contact us confidently using another contact option.

8. CAPTCHA

To protect your data and your inquiries, we use the Captcha service for our forms. This is primarily used to differentiate whether the data has been entered by a natural person or in an abusive manner by machine or automated services. Our captcha service does not transmit any data to third parties. No other personal data is collected by this service.

To protect your data and your inquiries, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc (Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) for our forms. This is primarily used to differentiate whether data has been entered by a natural person or in an abusive manner by machine or automated services. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. Google uses the data to evaluate the use of this service.

The legal basis for the use is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The data is transferred to Google. There is an adequacy decision for the USA, insofar as the companies adhere to the agreement between the EU and the USA. Google has certified itself under the agreement. We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by Google.
You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. The controller is Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, 4 Barrow Street, Dublin, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing as well as your respective rights by and vis-à-vis Google can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/?hl=de.

9. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

9.1 Links to external websites

This website contains links to external sites. We are responsible for our own content. We have no influence on the content of external links and are therefore not responsible for them; in particular, we do not adopt their content as our own. If you are directed to an external page, the data protection declaration provided there applies. If you notice any illegal activities or content on this page, you are welcome to inform us. In this case we will check the content and react accordingly (notice and take down procedure).

9.2 Rented server space

We would like to point out that we have rented server space from the provider Favorit.network GmbH, Plattlinge Str. 35, 94428 Eichendorf. When you visit the website, the provider of the server space may automatically receive information. These are automatically saved by him in so-called server log files (see § 3), which your browser automatically transmits. More information about the data can be found in § 3.

9.3 Integration of YouTube videos

We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offer, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. You Tube LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc. We are initially integrating YouTube as an inactive tool. If you want to watch the videos, you must be aware that this will transfer data to YouTube. We will inform you about this in the video as well as in our cookie banner. Only if you then agree can you load the video – and then data will be transferred.

We have no influence on this data transfer. When you visit the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. The following data is transmitted here:

  • Device-specific information, for example the hardware used; the version of the operating system; Unique device identifier and information about the cellular network including your telephone number
  • Log data in the form of server logs. These include, among other things, details of the way in which the services were used, for example search queries; IP address; Hardware settings; Browser type; Browser language; The date and time of your request; Source page; Cookies that can be used to uniquely identify your browser or your Google account
  • Location related information. Information about your actual location may be recorded by Google. This includes, for example, your IP address, your WLAN access points or cell towers
  • Further information on the data collected by Google, INC can be found under the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de.

This happens regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account that you are logged in to, or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR. The European Court of Justice regards the USA as a country with an inadequate level of data protection. There is therefore a risk that your data will be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you having your rights as a data subject or other legal remedies.

The integration of the videos serves to make the website clearer for the user and to increase the search engine ranking of the website on Google and to refer more specifically to our specially produced videos. YouTube stores your data as a user profile and uses it for advertising, market research and / or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. If you do not want it to be assigned to your profile on YouTube, you must not click on the video.

The duration of the storage depends on the storage periods on YouTube. You have a right of revocation against the creation of these user profiles, whereby to exercise this you have to contact YouTube or the person responsible, namely Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, 4 Barrow St., Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

9.4 Google WebFonts / Font Awesome

This page uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. However, we integrated the WebFonts locally so that no data is transmitted to Google or other third parties.

9. JOB OFFERS

We offer job advertisements on our website.

If you apply to us via the website, we process the information that we receive from you as part of the application process, i.e.

  • cover letter
  • resume
  • photo
  • testimonies
  • correspondence

You can send us application documents via email. As part of this, we process the information that we receive from you as well

  • email address
  • if necessary, further information which is transmitted via the e-mail

In addition, we have also placed advertisements at jobs-im-allgaeu.de. This is a portal from Allgäuer Zeitungsverlages GmbH, Heisinger Str. 14, 87437 Kempten. You can apply directly via the job portal by entering your first and last name and your email address as well as a short cover letter. You can also add attachments here. For more information, we refer to the data protection provisions there at https://www.jobs-im-allgaeu.de/datenschutz.

We do not conduct research about you on the Internet (so-called background checks).

Your data will initially only be processed to carry out the application process. If your application is successful, the data will become part of the personnel file and can be used to carry out and terminate the employment relationship. If we are currently unable to offer you employment, we will process your data in order to defend ourselves against possible legal claims, in particular because of an alleged disadvantage in the application process. If you receive reimbursement of costs, the corresponding accounting documents will be processed in order to fulfill the commercial and tax retention obligations. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as the data processing serves to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship and insofar as the data is then included in the employment relationship. If the storage serves to secure claims, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. A legitimate interest here is the receipt of evidence for a possible defense. We process information and documents that are not required for the aforementioned purposes on the basis of your implied consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you have given us by sending it. If you receive reimbursement of costs from us, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

We store the data required for the successful application and for the employment relationship until the end of the employment relationship and for a period of up to 3 years thereafter. We process the data relating to an application for which we had to decide to reject it for a period of 6 months after sending the rejection in order to safeguard our legitimate interests. If we are used as part of a process, we will save the data until it is completed. This also applies to the voluntarily received data. Insofar as you receive reimbursement of costs, the corresponding accounting documents are kept for the fulfillment of the commercial and tax retention obligations up to a maximum of March 31 of the eleventh calendar year after payment, in the case of commercial and business letters and other tax-relevant documents for the seventh calendar year after their creation.

With regard to the voluntarily provided data, you have a right of revocation, which you can exercise at any time against the person responsible in accordance with § 1.

The person responsible will no longer process the personal data relating to you unless he can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data relating to you are processed in order to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data relating to you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct mail. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services – regardless of Directive 2002/58 / EC – you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated processes that use technical specifications.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact the person responsible for processing directly.

10.8 Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the point of revocation. You can contact the person responsible for this.

10.9 Right to automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which has legal effects on you or which significantly affects you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision which is made

  • is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,
  • is permissible on the basis of legal provisions of the Union or of the member states to which the person responsible is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests or
  • takes place with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 Paragraph 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 Paragraph 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests .

With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the person responsible shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain intervention by a person on the part of the person responsible, to express their own point of view and heard on contesting the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights with regard to automated decisions, they can contact the person responsible for processing at any time.

10.10 Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is against violates the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted informs the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Art. 78 GDPR. The authority responsible for us is

11. WEB ANALYSIS BY MATOMO

We use the Matomo (formerly PIWIK) tool on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user’s computer (for cookies see § 4). If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:

  • anonymized IP address

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. Your personal data will only be stored there. The data will not be passed on to third parties.

The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not saved in full, but only in an abbreviated form. In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The processing of your personal data enables us to analyze surfing behaviour. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness.
