Privacy policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection enjoys particularly high priority for the management of DSF DER SECURITYFUCHS GMBH. The DSF website can be used without providing any personal data. However, processing of personal data may become necessary if a data subject wants to use any special services of the company via our website. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the data subject’s consent.
Processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or phone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to DSF. Our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process with this privacy policy. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
DSF as the controller has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may always suffer from security gaps and absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. As a result of this, every data subject is free to submit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by phone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of DSF is based on the terms used by the European legislator that were issued in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our clients and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms, among other ones, in this privacy policy:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or data controller
Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent

3. Cookies
The DSF website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It comprises a string of characters that allows assignment of internet pages and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Use of cookies enables DSF to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
A cookie can be used to optimise the information and offers on our website in the user’s interests. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is making it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website since this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop will remember the items that a client has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, some functions of our website may no longer be fully usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The DSF website collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected: (1) the types and versions of the browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
DSF does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using these general data and information. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website as well as (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, DSF will analyse such anonymously collected data and information for statistical purposes on one hand and to increase data protection and data security of our enterprise on the other hand, so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject may register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data to be transmitted to the controller in the process will be determined by the respective input screen used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or several processors, such as a parcel delivery service, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.
The IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date, and the time of registration will also be stored when registering on the website of the controller. This data is stored because this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable us to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. Storage of such data is necessary in this respect to safeguard the controller. These data generally are not passed on to any third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
Registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject any content or services that by their nature can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely erased from the controller’s database.
The controller shall provide any data subject with information on what personal data are stored about the data subject upon request at any time. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or erase any personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any legal obligation to retain the data. The entire staff of the controller shall be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
6. Contact option via the website
The website of DSF contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us and that also includes a general address of the electronic mail (email address) due to statutory provisions. If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data provided on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to any third parties.
7. Data protection in applications and the application process
The personal data of applicants will only be collected and processed for the purpose of handling the application procedure. This processing may also be performed electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us the relevant application documents electronically, for example by email. If we enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is entered into with the applicant, the application documents will be erased automatically two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose erasure. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz; AGG).
8. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for in laws or regulations that the controller is subject to by the European or other legislator.
The personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions if the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European or another competent legislator expires.
9. Rights of the data subject
a) Right to obtain confirmation
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right of access
Any data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain information on the personal data relating to them that have been stored and a copy of that information from the controller at any time, free of charge. Furthermore, the European legislator grants the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of processing
the categories of personal data processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries or international organisations
if possible, the envisaged duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this period

Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right of access to information on whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Any data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay. Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, under consideration of the purposes of the processing.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain erasure of any personal data concerning them from the controller without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies and as far as processing is not necessary:
The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary. The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to processing in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
Erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law that the controller is subject to.
The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for erasure of personal data stored by DSF, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee of DSF shall ensure that the request for erasure is complied with immediately.
If the personal data have been made public by DSF and our company as the controller is obligated to erase the personal data in accordance with Article 17 (1) GDPR, DSF shall implement reasonable measures, including those of a technical nature, to inform other controllers that process the published personal data, that the data subject has requested that such other controllers erase all links to or copies or replications of the personal data unless the processing is necessary, under consideration of the available technology and the cost of implementation. The DSF employee shall take the steps necessary from case to case.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Any data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain restriction of processing from the controller where one of the following conditions is met: If accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
If processing is unlawful but the data subject objects to erasure of the personal data and requests restriction of use of the personal data instead.
If the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the establishment, exercise, or defence of any legal claims.
If the data subject has objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request restriction of personal data stored by DSF, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee of DSF shall arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) The right to data portability
Any data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain the personal data concerning them that have been provided by the data subject to a controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They shall also have the right to transmit such data to another controller without obstruction from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and processing is performed by automated means, unless processing is necessary for the performance of a task performed in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, to the extent that this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals, when exercising their right to data portability in accordance with Article 20(1) GDPR.
The data subject may contact any employee of DSF at any time in order to assert the right to data portability.
g) Right to object
Any data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them that is performed on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. DSF shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
If DSF processes any personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject shall have the right to object to processing of personal data processed for such marketing at any time. This shall also apply to profiling, as far as it is connected with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes towards DSF, DSF shall no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
The data subject also has the right to object to processing of personal data concerning them that is performed by DSF for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR on grounds relating to their particular situation, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task performed in the public interest.
The data subject may contact any employee of DSF or another employee directly in order to exercise the right to object. The data subject shall also be free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that such law lays down appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is performed with the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, DSF shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the data subject’s involvement on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated decisions, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Any data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
10. Data protection in applications and the application process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application procedure. This processing may also be performed electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application files shall be automatically erased two months after the notification of the rejection decision, unless otherwise justified by the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz; AGG).
11. Privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller for a data subject living outside of the USA or Canada is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically caused to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook by the respective Facebook component at every call of one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting.
If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook will recognise which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the “Like” button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook will assign this information to the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not with this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various apps are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. The data subject can use such applications to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
12. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis means the collection, collation, and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject came to a website from (referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the cost-benefit of internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. The IP address of the data subject’s internet connection will be shortened and anonymised by Google if our internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area by means of this addition.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google will use the data and information collected for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Cookies have already been explained above. Setting the cookie enables Google to analyse use of our website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system will automatically be triggered by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the scope of this technical procedure, Google will obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission calculations. Personal information, for example the access time, the place from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, will be stored by means of the cookie. These personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America at every visit to our websites. This personal data will be stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share these personal data collected in this technical process with third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of making the corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. A cookie already set by Google Analytics can also be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. The data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout for this purpose. This browser add-on will tell Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites must be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers installation of the browser add-on to be an objection. The data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics if the data subject’s information technology system is erased, formatted, or reinstalled at a later point in time. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
13. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance that can be used to display an ad in Google’s search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. The ads are distributed to subject-relevant websites in the Google advertising network by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google AdWords is advertising our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject accesses our website via a Google advertisement, a conversion cookie will be stored by Google on the data subject’s information technology system. Cookies have already been explained above. A conversion cookie is rendered invalid after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping basket of an online shop system, have been called up on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an AdWords ad has generated a sale, i.e., if they have completed or cancelled a purchase. The data and information collected by use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e., to determine success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor any other advertisers of Google AdWords receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.
Personal information, such as the web pages visited by the data subject, will be stored by the conversion cookie. Personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America at every visit of our websites. This personal data will be stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share these personal data collected in this technical process with third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of making the corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. A cookie already set by Google AdWords can also be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and.
14. Privacy policy on the use and application of Agendize
The controller has installed components of the companies Agendize SAS and Agendize Services Inc. on this website. Agendize is an appointment scheduling service. The appointment service extends the usefulness of the website by creating another contact option. The data are collected for the purpose of making an appointment.
The operating company of Agendize is Agendize SAS, 12 rue Bégand, 10000 Troyes, France.
The following data are collected:
Selected appointment (date)
Email address
Mobile number
Services booked
if specified by you, other data provided
The data collected will be erased after the agreed appointment has expired.
Agendize’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.agendize.de/datenschutzerklaerung/.
15. Privacy policy on the use and application of Wipe Analytics
The controller has integrated components of the company Wipe Analytics on this website. Wipe Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collation, and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject came to a website from (referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the cost-benefit of internet advertising.
The operating company of Wipe Analytics is TENSQUARE GmbH, Wilhelminenstr. 29, 45881 Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Wipe Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Cookies have already been explained above. Every time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller on which a Wipe Analytics component has been integrated is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically triggered by the respective Wipe Analytics component to transmit data to Wipe Analytics for marketing and optimisation purposes. Wipe Analytics obtains knowledge of data that is subsequently used to create pseudonymous usage profiles within the scope of this technical procedure. The usage profiles obtained in this way are used to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who has accessed the website of the controller and are evaluated with the aim of improving and optimising the website. The data collected via the Wipe Analytics component will not be used to identify the data subject without first obtaining the data subject’s separate and explicit consent. This data will not be merged with any personal data or with any other data containing the same pseudonym.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of making the corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Wipe Analytics from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system.

17. Legal basis for processing
Point (a) of Art. 6 I GDPR forms the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose for our company. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on point (b) of Article 6 I GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to any legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on point © of Art. 6 I GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party due to this. In this case, processing would be based on point (d) of Art. 6 I GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on point (f) of Art. 6 I GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the above legal basics are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. We are permitted to perform such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (recital 47, second sentence of the GDPR).
18. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on point (f) of Article 6 I GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.
19. Duration for which the personal data are stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.
20. Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We inform that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax provisions) and may result from contractual regulations (e.g., information on the contractual partner). It may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us sometimes in order to conclude a contract. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. The data subject must contact one of our employees before providing personal data. Our employee will inform the data subject from case to case about whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
21. Existence of automated decision making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
