Privacy Policy

General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain in what way, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.

Responsible for data processing on this website and in our company is:

OSSCAD Beteiligungen GmbH
Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse 75
51429 Bergisch Gladbach
Germany

Telephone: + 49 2204 / 84 - 2770

General information

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails over the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as best we can and to close security gaps as far as we can.

An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.

Encrypted payment transactions

Payment data, such as account or credit card numbers, require special protection. For this reason, payment transactions with the most common means of payment are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.

How long do we store your data?

At some points in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we will store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.

In the event of an objection or revocation, however, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing to process the data that override your interests, rights and freedoms (only in the case of an objection to data processing; if the objection is to direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).

The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).

We are required by law to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) no longer apply or cease to apply.

 

Data transfer to the USA

On our website, we also use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it there and process it if necessary. This is particularly important for you because your data in the USA does not enjoy the same protection as within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

 

Your rights

Objection to data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THAT THIS IS THEREFORE BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER ART. 21 DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASONS ARE REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS EXISTS:

WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS.

THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT ADVERTISING OR PROFILING RELATED THERETO.

 

Further rights

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form, or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You may revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: we are required by law to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to complain exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

We must hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another responsible party if this is technically possible.

Right to information, deletion and correction of data

According to Art. 15 DSGVO, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data came from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 DSGVO), under the conditions of Art. 17 DSGVO you may demand that we delete the data.

Right to restrict processing

In certain situations, you may request us to restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO. The data may then - apart from storage - only be processed as follows:

  • with your consent
  • for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
  • for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Das Recht auf Einschränkung der Verarbeitung besteht in den folgenden Situationen:

The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:

You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to verify this. Here, the right exists for the duration of the review.

The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. Here the right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.

We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. Here the right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.

You have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and now your interests and our interests must be weighed against each other. Here, the right exists as long as the result of the weighing has not yet been determined.

Data collection on this website

Use of cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for different purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. Thus, as soon as you close the browser, they disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:

  • Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
  • Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain cases?
  • Do you want cookies to be deleted automatically when you close the browser?

If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this as part of this privacy policy. We also request your consent in this regard when you access our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offers can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) DSGVO. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Server log files

Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted to our provider by your browser.
