3. General notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The owners of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data means data that can be used to identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how we do this and for what purpose.

We draw your attention to the fact that data transferred via the Internet (e.g. by e-mail) may be exposed to security breaches. It is not possible to completely protect data against unauthorised access by third parties.

Information about the Controller

The Controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

BOESKEN GmbH
Rudolf-Diesel-Strasse 11
78224 Singen
Germany

Phone: +49 7731 953 446
E-mail:

The Controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, determines the purpose and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Data storage

Unless a specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you claim a legitimate reason for deleting data or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons cease to apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9(1) GDPR. If you have explicitly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also done on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out in accordance with Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Should your data be necessary for fulfilling a contract or implementing pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if required to fulfil a legal obligation, we will process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business operations, we work with various third parties. In some cases, this also requires transferring personal data to these third parties. We only pass on personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in passing on the data in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. If a data processor is involved, we only pass on our customers’ personal data if a valid data processing agreement exists. If the data are processed jointly, we conclude a joint processing agreement.

Withdrawing your consent to data processing

In many cases, data processing requires your explicit consent. You may withdraw the consent you have given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until you withdraw your consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove that there are compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

If processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that any data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

In accordance with the relevant legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, as well as the purpose of data processing, free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request that these data be rectified or erased. Please contact us if you have any further questions about this or any other issues relating to personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Please contact us at any time on this matter. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we will generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data instead of deleting them.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you require them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data instead of deleting them.
  • If you have objected to data processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – other than for storage purposes – with your consent or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The website owner has a legitimate interest in storing required cookies to provide its services in an optimised way and without errors. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set so that you can decide whether to accept them or not. You can also choose to accept cookies only in certain cases or to reject them in general, and you can set your browser to automatically delete cookies when you close it. If you deactivate cookies, the functions of this website may be limited.
