Providing the website and creating log files

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically records data and information from each accessing device (e.g. computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.).

What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

(1) Information on the type of browser and the version used;
(2) The operating system of the accessing device;
(3) Host name of the accessing computer;
(4) The IP address of the accessing device;
(5) Date and time of access;
(6) Websites and resources (images, files, other page content), which have been accessed on our website;
(7) Websites which lead the user to our website (referrer tracking);
(8) Notification of whether the access was successful;
(9) Transmitted volume of data

This data is stored in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with personal data belonging to a specific user, so individual site visitors are not identified.

Legal basis for personal data processing

Art. 6, Para. 1, lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest is to guarantee achievement of the purpose outlined below.

Purpose of data processing

The temporary (automated) storage of the data is required to process a visit to the website in order to enable delivery of the website. The storage and processing of the personal data is also carried out to maintain our website’s compatibility for all visitors where possible and to combat misuse and eliminate faults. To this end, it is necessary to log the accessing computer’s technical data, so that we can respond to display errors, attacks on our IT systems and/or functionality errors on our website as early as possible. Additionally, we also use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the general security of our IT systems.

Duration of storage

The above technical data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to guarantee the website’s compatibility for all visitors, but at the latest within three months of our website being accessed.

Opportunity to object and delete

You can object to the processing at any time according to Art. 21 of the GDPR and request the deletion of data according to Art. 17 of the GDPR. You can see what rights you are entitled to and how you can assert them in the bottom section of this privacy statement.

Automatic credit check/scoring

If you would like to conclude a contract with us, we reserve the right to carry out exclusively automated processing of your personal data to check your credit. We are entitled to such an automated decision according to Art. 22 Para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR. Whether or not the contract can be concluded depends on the result of the automated credit check. A credit check involves calculating the statistical probabilities of a payment default. The credit report may include probability values (score values), which are calculated based on scientifically recognised mathematical/statistical methods. Conclusions are thereby drawn as to the customer’s future risk of payment default using a wide range of criteria, such as income, address data, occupation, marital status and previous payment history. The result is expressed in the form of a payment value (“score”). The information obtained in this way forms the basis of our decision on whether to establish, execute or terminate a contractual relationship. If you believe that you have been unfairly excluded from concluding the contract based on the credit check, you can clarify your position in an email to us. We will then verify the automated decision according to Art. 22 Para. 3 of the GDPR in the specific case. In order to carry out the credit check, we may process and store your personal data according Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR.

We will send your data in the cases listed below to the following provider(s) based on the pending contract:

  • Bisnode Deutschland GmbH:

    Bisnode Deutschland GmbH, Robert-Bosch-Straße 11, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany (http://www.bisnode.de): Our company regularly checks your credit rating when concluding contracts and in certain cases where there is a legitimate interest for doing so, this applies to existing customers too. To this end, we work together with Bisnode Deutschland GmbH, Robert-Bosch-Straße 11, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany, from which we receive the necessary data. We send your name and contact details to Bisnode Deutschland GmbH for this purpose.

  • Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG:

    Our company regularly checks your credit rating when concluding contracts and in certain cases where there is a legitimate interest for doing so, this applies to existing customers too.

On behalf of Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG, we would like to share the following information with you in advance according to Art. 14 of the GDPR:

    Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG is a consumer credit agency. It maintains a database in which creditworthiness information about private individuals is saved.

    Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG provides its customers with credit reports on this basis. Its customers include credit institutions, leasing companies, insurance companies, telecommunications companies, receivables management companies, shipping, wholesale and retail companies as well as other companies which supply goods and provide services. In the context of the legal provisions, some of the data available in the information database is also used for supplying other company databases, e.g. for use for address trading purposes, among other things.

    In particular, information about people’s name, address, date of birth, email address if necessary, payment behaviour and shareholdings is saved in the Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG database. The saved data is processed to provide information about the queried person’s creditworthiness. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6, Para. 1, lit. f of the GDPR. Information about this data may only be provided if a customer has proven a legitimate interest in having knowledge of this information. Where data is sent to states outside of the EU, this takes place on the basis of what are referred to as the “standard contractual clauses. You can view these or request to have these sent to you via the following link:

    https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32001D0497&from=en

    This data will be saved as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored in the first place. Knowledge is generally necessary for a storage period of three years initially. Once this period of time has elapsed, a further check is made to see whether the data still needs to be stored, otherwise it is deleted three years to the day it was stored. If a situation is being dealt with, the data will be deleted three years to the day following completion of the same. Entries in the debtor’s register are deleted, as per Section 882e of the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO), once three years to the day have elapsed since the entry was arranged.

    Legitimate interests under the terms of Art. 6, Para. 1, lit. f of the GDPR may be: a credit decision, initiation of business, shareholdings, a claim, a credit check, an insurance contract and enforcement information. You have a right of access vis-à-vis Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG with regard to the data concerning you that it has saved. If the data saved about you is incorrect, you are entitled to have the same rectified or deleted. If it cannot be immediately determined whether the data is incorrect or correct, you are entitled to have the respective data blocked until the same is clarified. If your data is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.

    If you have given your consent to processing of the data saved by Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time. Revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data carried out based on your consent up until the same is revoked.

    If you have objections, requests or complaints regarding data protection, you can contact the Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG data protection officer at any time. He or she will provide you with fast and reliable assistance in all data protection concerns. You can also complain about data processing by Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG to the competent state representative for data protection in your state.

    The data that Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG saves in relation to you comes from publicly accessible sources, from debt collection companies and their customers.

    To describe your creditworthiness, Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG forms a score value from your data. Data concerning your age and gender, address details and sometimes payment experience data is incorporated into the score value. We incorporate this data in the score calculation process with different weighting. Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG customers use the scores as an aid when making their own lending decisions.

    Right of objection:

    The processing of the data held by Creditreform Wuppertal Brodmerkel & Kötting KG takes place on the compelling and legitimate grounds of creditor and credit protection which regularly outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or serve to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. You may only object to the processing of your data on grounds relating to an exceptional situation applicable to you, for which evidence must be provided. If you can provide evidence that such special reasons apply, this data will cease to be processed. If you object to your data being processed for advertising and marketing purposes, this data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Information about the use of cookies

  • What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

    We integrate and use cookies on different pages in order to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. The so-called ‘cookies’ are small text files which your browser can save on your access device. These small text files contain a characteristic string that unequivocally identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of saving a cookie file is also called “setting a cookie”. Cookies can be set here both by the website itself and also by external web services. Cookies are set by our website or the external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve user friendliness or to pursue the purposes indicated with your consent. Cookie technology also allows us to detect individual visitors based on pseudonyms, e.g. an individual or random ID such that we can offer more customised services. Details are listed in the following table.

  • Legal basis for personal data processing

    So long as the cookies are processed based on consent given according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, this consent is also seen as consent for setting cookies on the user’s end device within the sense of Art. 25 Para. 1 of the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). If another legal basis is named by the GDPR, (e.g. fulfilling a contract or fulfilling legal obligations), the saving and/or setting of a cookie is based on an exception in accordance with Article 25 Para. 2 of the TTDSG. This exception applies “if the sole purpose of the saving of information on the end user’s terminal or the sole purpose of the access to the information already saved on the end user’s terminal is to send a message via a public telecommunications network” or “if the saving of information on the end user’s terminal or the access to the information already saved on the end user’s terminal is absolutely necessary for a telemedia service provider to provide the user with the telemedia service that the user expressly desires”. The relevant legal basis can be determined using the cookie table located later in this point.

  • Purpose of data processing

    Cookies are set by our website or the external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve user friendliness or to pursue the purposes indicated with your consent.

Details are listed in the following table.

  • Duration of storage

    Our cookies are stored until they are deleted from your browser or, if the cookie is a session cookie, until the session has ended. Details are listed in the following table.

  • Opportunity to object and remove

    You can configure your browser to reject all cookies. You can then decide whether you want to accept cookies on a case-by-case basis or as a general rule. Cookies can be used for different purposes, e.g. to detect if your access device has already connected to our website before (permanent cookies) or to save the last offers viewed (session cookies). If you have explicitly given us permission to process your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time. Please note that the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent up to the revocation is not affected by this.

Data security and data protection, communication by email

When it is collected, saved and processed, your personal data is protected by means of technical and organisational measures to ensure that it is inaccessible to third parties.
