Data privacy

Section 1 Information on the collection of personal data

(1) In the following, we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website. All information that can be used to uniquely identify a person is classed as personal data. This therefore concerns data that can be traced back to a person. Personal data is all data that is related directly to your person, such as first and last name, address, telephone number, e-mail addresses, user behaviour, etc.

Within the scope of data avoidance and data minimisation, we only collect personal data to the extent and for the period of time that is required in order to use our website or that is prescribed by the legislator. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and adhere strictly to the corresponding legal regulations and to this privacy statement when collecting and processing personal data. Should the purpose of data collection cease to exist or the end of the statutory retention period be reached, the collected data will be restricted or erased. Our website can be used regularly without transferring personal data. When we do collect personal data – for example your name, your postal address or your e-mail address – this data collection takes place on a voluntary basis. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent. It is important to note that data is not always transferred securely on the Internet. Protection during data exchange cannot be guaranteed, particularly in the case of e-mail traffic. In line with the basic principles of data avoidance and data minimisation, we only save personal data for as long as necessary or as prescribed by the legislator (statutory storage period). If the purpose for storing the information collected no longer applies or if the storage period ends, we either restrict or erase the data.

(2) The Controller as per Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is HARREITHER GmbH (see our legal notice section). 

(3) If you contact us by e-mail or using a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address and potentially also your name and telephone number) is stored by us to respond to your questions. We delete the data collected in this context once it is no longer required or restrict processing where statutory storage obligations are in place.

(4) If we wish to use contracted service providers for individual functions of our website or use your data for commercial purposes, we will inform you of the respective procedures in detail below. We also state the stipulated criteria of the storage period.

Section 3  Collection of personal data when visiting our website

If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which we require technically to display our website to you and to guarantee its stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6(1f) GDPR):

(2) In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are also stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that can be transferred from a website and saved locally to your hard disk by your Internet browser. Cookies allow transfer of certain information to the site sending the cookie (i.e. in this case, us). Cookies cannot launch any applications or transfer viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.

(3) Use of cookies:

 a) This website uses the following types of cookies, whose scope and method of functioning are explained in the following:

Transient cookies (see also b)

Persistent cookies (see also c).

b) Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close the browser. These cookies in particular include session cookies. Session cookies save a so-called session ID, with which various requests of your browser can be assigned to the same session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

c) Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a specified time period, which can vary depending on the cookie in question. You can delete the cookies at any time via your browser's security settings.

d) You can configure your browser setting according to your wishes and, for example, reject the use of third-party cookies or indeed all cookies. However, we inform you that you may then not be able to use all of the functions of this website.

e) We use cookies to be able to identify you during subsequent visits, if you have an account with us. Otherwise, you would have to log in again for each visit. 

Section 4 Use of Web Analytics

Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files that are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse how you use the website. The data generated by the cookie about your use of this website is normally sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is abbreviated in advance by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services for the website operator related to the use of the website and the Internet.

(2) The IP address relayed by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not linked to other Google data.

(3) You may prevent the saving of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. We would like to point out, however, that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to the full extent. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your usage of the website (including your IP address) being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This abbreviates IP addresses before further processing, so any direct association with the user can be excluded. If the data collected about you has any identifiable association to you, this is immediately excluded and the personal data immediately erased.

(5) We use Google Analytics to be able to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics gained to further optimise our website and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transmitted to the US, Google has signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1f) GDPR.

Section 5 Information, erasure, restriction

You can receive information on the personal data relating to you and stored by us, free-of-charge and at any time, as well as information on the origin, the recipient and the purpose of both the data collection and the data processing. You also have the right to request rectification, restriction or erasure of your data. However, data that is stored due to statutory regulations or required for proper business processing is exempt from this. To ensure that a data restriction can be implemented at any time, data is kept in a lock file for control purposes. As long as data is not subject to a statutory archiving obligation, we will erase your data on request. If the archiving obligation applies, we will restrict your data. Should you have any questions or issues relating to the rectification, restriction or erasure of personal data, please use the address provided in the legal notice to contact us.
