InnoTrans 2026

We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of MONOCAB OWL. It is generally possible to use the MONOCAB OWL websites without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services from our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to MONOCAB OWL. By means of this data protection declaration, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights through this data protection declaration.

MONOCAB OWL, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

 

1. definitions

The MONOCAB OWL privacy policy is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:

 

a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as „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) Person affected

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

 

Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations performed, whether or not by automated means, in connection with personal data, such as collecting, recording, organising, structuring, storing, adapting or altering, retrieving, consulting, using, disclosing by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, aligning or combining, restricting, erasing or destroying.

 

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

 

e) Profiling

Profiling is 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 is 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 this 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

The controller is 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.

 

h) Data processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

 

Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. 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

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

 

Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 

2. name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is the:

3. Cookies

The MONOCAB OWL websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters, through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers 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.

By using cookies, MONOCAB OWL can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the user. As previously mentioned, cookies allow us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details every time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

The individual concerned can at any time prevent the setting of cookies by our website by means of a corresponding setting on 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 individual concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, it is possible that not all functions of our website can be fully used.

 

4. Collection of general data and information

The MONOCAB OWL website collects a range of general data and information each time it is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. It may include:

  1. browser types and versions used,
  2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
  3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
  4. the sub-websites which are accessed via an access 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. any other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

 

When using this general data and information, MONOCAB OWL draws no conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to

  1. to deliver the content of our website correctly,
  2. to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,
  3. to ensure the continued functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, as well as
  4. to provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore analysed by MONOCAB OWL for statistical purposes and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

 

5. Subscribe to our newsletter

On the MONOCAB OWL website, users are provided with the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data that is transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.

MONOCAB OWL regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company's offers via a newsletter. Our company's newsletter can fundamentally only be received by the data subject if

  1. the affected person has a valid email address and
  2. the affected person registers for newsletter distribution.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address first registered for newsletter distribution by the data subject using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of an e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller's website or to inform the controller of this in another way.

 

6. Newsletter Tracking

MONOCAB OWL's newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows for statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, MONOCAB OWL can detect if and when an email has been opened by a data subject and which links within the email have been accessed by the data subject.

Personal data collected through tracking pixels contained in the newsletters will be stored and analysed by the data controller to optimise newsletter distribution and tailor the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. Following a withdrawal, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. A deregistration from receiving the newsletter will be automatically interpreted by MONOCAB OWL as a withdrawal.

 

7. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as provided for by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage ceases or a storage period prescribed by the European directive and regulatory legislator or another competent legislator expires, personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal provisions.

 

8. Data Subject Rights

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator and regulator to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller for this purpose.

 

b) Right to information

Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator and regulator to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored concerning him or her and a copy of such information. Furthermore, the European legislator and regulator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

  • the processing purposes
  • the categories of personal data being processed
  • recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
  • if possible, the planned period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
  • the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority
  • All available information as to the source of the data:
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and—at least in those cases—meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject
  • Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
  • If an affected person wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

 

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator and regulator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right, having regard to the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If an affected person wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may contact a member of staff of the data controller at any time.

 

d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  • The personal data was processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject under Union or Member State law.
    The personal data was collected with regard to information society services offered, in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the MONOCAB OWL, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of MONOCAB OWL shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.If the personal data have been made public by the MONOCAB OWL and our company as the controller is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, the MONOCAB OWL shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employees of the MONOCAB OWL will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

 

r) Right to restrict processing

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request the restriction of processing from the controller if one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests restriction of processing instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.
If one of the above-mentioned circumstances applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by MONOCAB OWL, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The MONOCAB OWL employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.

 

Right to data portability

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact a MONOCAB OWL employee.

 

Right to object

Any data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator and regulator, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The MONOCAB OWL will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling grounds for processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If MONOCAB OWL processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to MONOCAB OWL processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, MONOCAB OWL shall no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject shall have the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by MONOCAB OWL for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of MONOCAB OWL or any other employee directly. Furthermore, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

 

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision

  1. not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
  2. pursuant to Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject, is lawful and which provides appropriate safeguards for the fundamental rights and freedoms, and the legitimate interests, of the data subject, or
  3. with the express consent of the data subject.

Is the decision

  1. required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or
  2. it is carried out with the explicit consent of the data subject, MONOCAB OWL shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention from the controller, to state one's point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decision-making, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

 

i) Right to withdraw data protection consent

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European Directive and legislator, to withdraw their 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 an employee of the controller at any time for this purpose.

 

9. Data protection for applications and during the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes 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 the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

 

10. data protection provisions about the application and use of Google AdWords

The data controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place adverts in Google's search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, which are used to display an advert in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant adverts on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party adverts on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advertisement, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. As long as the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping basket of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords advertisement has generated revenue, i.e., completed or abandoned a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is 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 the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each internet browser they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and Google's applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ be retrieved.

 

11. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of Matomo

The data controller has integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis tool records, among other things, data about from which website a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used for optimising a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the data controller, and the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyse visitor traffic on our website. The data and information obtained are used by the data controller, among other things, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports that show the activities on our websites.
Matomo sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, we can analyse the use of our website. With each call of an individual page on this website, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves us, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks.

Personal data, such as the time of access, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website, are stored using cookies. With every visit to our websites, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to our server. We store this personal data. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a 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 Matomo from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Matomo and related to the use of this website, and to prevent such collection. To do this, the data subject must set “Do Not Track” in their browser.

However, setting the opt-out cookie may mean that the website of the controller of the processing is no longer fully usable for the data subject.

Further information and Matomo's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy/ be retrieved.

 

12. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of YouTube

The data controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete films and television shows, as well as music videos, trailers or user-created videos can be accessed via the internet portal.

The operator of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
Upon each access to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download data for the representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/ accessed. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is being visited by the affected person.

If the person concerned is also logged into YouTube, YouTube will recognise, when a sub-page containing a YouTube video is accessed, which specific sub-page of our website the person concerned is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the person concerned.

YouTube and Google receive information that the data subject has visited our website via the YouTube component whenever the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube at the time of visiting our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, which under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ are available, provide information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

 

13. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment 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 Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out 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 customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

 

14. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

 

15. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of personal data storage is the respective statutory retention period. After the period has expired, the relevant data will be routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

 

16. Statutory or contractual requirements to provide personal data; requirements necessary for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged 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. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis 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 would be if the personal data were not provided.

 

17. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.

This privacy policy was generated by the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as External Data Protection Officer - Middle Franconia active, in cooperation with the Data Protection Lawyers at WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Attorneys at Law created.
