Information on Data Processing

1 Data Privacy Policy

We process your personal data (in short “data”) exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions. With this data privacy policy, we wish to inform you comprehensively about the processing of your data in our company and the data protection claims and rights to which you are entitled within the meaning of Art. 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1.1 What data are processed, and from what sources do these data come?

For the purpose of establishing, executing and terminating contracts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) b GDPR, [Company] processes data on the company and on the employees of customers/suppliers (e.g. legal representatives, company, commercial register number, VAT ID, address, data on contact persons, bank data). No cooperation is possible without this data processing.

In addition, we process the following personal data:

  • information on the type and content of contract data, order data, sales and document data, customer and supplier history and consulting documents,
  • advertising and marketing data,
  • other data that we have received from you within the context of our business relationship (e.g. in discussions with customers),
  • data that we generate ourselves from master/contact data and other data, such as customer requirements and customer potential analyses.
1.2 For what purposes and on what legal basis are the data processed?

We process your data

  • to fulfil (pre-)contractual obligations, see above.
  • to fulfil legal obligations (Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR): Processing of your data is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling various legal obligations, e.g. under the commercial code or the tax code.
  • to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR): Data processing may take place beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract – on the basis of a weighing up of interests – in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties. Data processing to safeguard legitimate interests is carried out, for example, in the following cases:
    • advertising or marketing,
    • measures for business management and further development of services and products,
    • operation of a group-wide customer database to improve customer service,
    • in the context of legal proceedings,
  • on the grounds of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).
1.3 Processing of personal data for advertising purposes

You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. In that case, please use the address given above or the e-mail address info@hp-jammer.de

Under the legal provisions of § 7 (3) of the German Fair Trade Practices Act (UWG), we are entitled to use the e-mail address you provided when concluding the contract for direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether or not you have subscribed to a newsletter.

If you do not wish to receive such recommendations from us by e-mail, you can object to the use of your address for this purpose at any time. Notification in text form to info@hp-jammer.de is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, every e-mail also contains an unsubscribe link.

1.4 Who receives your data?

If we engage a service provider in the sense of a processor, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All processors are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to process them only within the scope of the service provision. The processors commissioned by us receive your data insofar as they require the data for the performance of their respective services. These are, for example, IT service providers that we need for the operation and security of our IT system, as well as advertising and address publishers for our own advertising campaigns.

Furthermore, we transfer your personal data to other recipients outside the company (e.g. tax consultants, authorities), insofar as this is necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations.

1.5 Data transfer to third countries

We do not generally transfer any data to a third country. Data are transferred in individual cases, but only on the basis of an adequacy ruling of the European Commission, standard contractual clauses, appropriate guarantees or your express consent, e.g. when using sales agents.

1.6 How long are your data stored?

Data of employees of the customer/supplier are deleted 4 years after termination of the cooperation with you (because of possible pending warranty claims), or at your request. For legal, fiscal or commercial reasons, individual data may be subject to longer storage obligations and may only be deleted after these legal obligations have expired.
In the event of litigation in which the data are required as evidence, the data will only be deleted after termination of the litigation.

1.7 What data protection rights do you have?

Employees of the customer/supplier have the right at any time to information, rectification, blocking, erasure or to a restriction on the processing of their data. You can revoke your consent to the processing of your data. Employees of the customer/supplier may receive the personal data stored on them for data transmission in electronic form.

1.8 Right of objection

If we process your data on the grounds of our legitimate interests, you may object to such processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. You can object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time without giving reasons.

1.9 Right of complaint

If you are of the opinion that we violate German or European data protection law when processing your data, we would ask you to contact us in order to clarify any questions you may have. Please contact us either by post (address, see above) or by e-mail: info@hp-jammer.de. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.
