Data protection is of particular importance to the management of DAMAX GmbH. The use of the DAMAX GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.<\/p>\n<p>The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to DAMAX GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this privacy policy.<\/p>\n<p>DAMAX GmbH, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Definitions<\/h4>\n<p>The privacy policy of DAMAX GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.<\/p>\n<p>In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>a) personal data<\/h4>\n<p>Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter \u201cdata subject\u201d). 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.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>b) data subject<\/h4>\n<p>Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller responsible for processing.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>c) processing<\/h4>\n<p>Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>d) restriction of processing<\/h4>\n<p>Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>e) profiling<\/h4>\n<p>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 analyze or predict aspects concerning a natural person\u2019s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>f) pseudonymization<\/h4>\n<p>Pseudonymization 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 such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>g) controller or person responsible for processing<\/h4>\n<p>Controller or person responsible for processing 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 law or the laws of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or the laws of the Member States.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>h) processor<\/h4>\n<p>Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>i) recipient<\/h4>\n<p>Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which 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.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>j) third party<\/h4>\n<p>Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>k) consent<\/h4>\n<p>Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject\u2019s wishes by which the data subject, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>2. Name and address of the controller responsible for processing<\/h4>\n<p>The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAMAX GmbH<\/strong><br \/>\nK\u00f6nigsallee 50<br \/>\n40212 D\u00fcsseldorf<br \/>\nGermany<\/p>\n<p>Tel.: +49 211 8629960<br \/>\nE-Mail: info@damax-gmbh.com<\/p>\n<p>Website: www.damax-gmbh.com<\/p>\n<h4>3. Cookies<\/h4>\n<p>The DAMAX GmbH website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.<\/p>\n<p>Many 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 enables 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 recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.<\/p>\n<p>By using cookies, DAMAX GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.<\/p>\n<p>By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interests of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter access data again each time the website is visited, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user\u2019s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.<\/p>\n<p>The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and thereby 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 disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Collection of general data and information<\/h4>\n<p>The DAMAX GmbH website collects a series of general data and information with each visit to the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded: (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 subpages that are accessed on our website via an accessing system, (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.<\/p>\n<p>When using this general data and information, DAMAX GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by DAMAX GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Contact possibility via the website<\/h4>\n<p>The DAMAX GmbH website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address), due to legal requirements. If a data subject contacts the controller responsible for processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller responsible for processing is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data<\/h4>\n<p>The controller responsible for processing processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.<\/p>\n<p>If the purpose of storage no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Rights of the data subject<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>a) Right to confirmation<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>b) Right of access<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain free information from the controller at any time about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of such information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the purposes of the processing<\/li>\n<li>the categories of personal data concerned<\/li>\n<li>the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been disclosed or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations<\/li>\n<li>where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period<\/li>\n<li>the existence of the right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her or restriction of processing by the controller or the right to object to such processing<\/li>\n<li>the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority<\/li>\n<li>where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source<\/li>\n<li>the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and \u2014 at least in those cases \u2014 meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, the data subject has a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.<\/p>\n<p>If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>c) Right to rectification<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.<\/p>\n<p>If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.<\/li>\n<li>The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.<\/li>\n<li>The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.<\/li>\n<li>The personal data have been unlawfully processed.<\/li>\n<li>The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.<\/li>\n<li>The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by DAMAX GmbH, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of DAMAX GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Where DAMAX GmbH has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, DAMAX GmbH shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The employee of DAMAX GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>e) Right to restriction of processing<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The 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.<\/li>\n<li>The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.<\/li>\n<li>The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.<\/li>\n<li>The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by DAMAX GmbH, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of DAMAX GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>f) Right to data portability<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject 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 was provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The data subject 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 Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.<\/p>\n<p>To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of DAMAX GmbH at any time.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>g) Right to object<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.<\/p>\n<p>DAMAX GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.<\/p>\n<p>If DAMAX GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to DAMAX GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, DAMAX GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by DAMAX GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.<\/p>\n<p>To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of DAMAX GmbH or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise the right to object, in connection with the use of information society services, by automated means using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002\/58\/EC.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing \u2014 including profiling \u2014 which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, 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 authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject\u2019s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject\u2019s explicit consent.<\/p>\n<p>If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is based on the data subject\u2019s explicit consent, DAMAX GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject\u2019s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.<\/p>\n<p>If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>i) Right to withdraw data protection consent<\/h4>\n<p>Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.<\/p>\n<p>If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>8. Data protection provisions on the use of Facebook<\/h4>\n<p>The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.<\/p>\n<p>A social network is an online community operated on the internet that generally enables users to communicate with one another and interact in the 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. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.<\/p>\n<p>The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/plugins\/?locale=de_DE<br \/>\n. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.<\/p>\n<p>If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each call of our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. 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 clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the \u201cLike\u201d button, or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time our website is accessed; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of the Facebook account before accessing our website.<\/p>\n<p>The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https:\/\/de-de.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/<br \/>\n, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Data protection provisions on the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)<\/h4>\n<p>The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service records, among other things, data about which website a data subject came from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.<\/p>\n<p>The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the add-on \u201c_gat._anonymizeIp\u201d. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our websites is from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.<\/p>\n<p>Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. Setting the cookie enables Google to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains 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 enable commission settlements.<\/p>\n<p>By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the place from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time our website is visited, this 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.<\/p>\n<p>The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such collection. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout<br \/>\n. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or newly installed at a later time, the data subject must install the browser add-on again to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or by another person attributable to the data subject\u2019s sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.<\/p>\n<p>Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<br \/>\nand at http:\/\/www.google.com\/analytics\/terms\/de.html<br \/>\n. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/de_de\/analytics\/<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<h4>10. Data protection provisions on the use of YouTube<\/h4>\n<p>The controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips and other videos free of charge and allows other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, music videos, trailers, or videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.<\/p>\n<p>The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/yt\/about\/de\/<br \/>\n. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google obtain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.<\/p>\n<p>If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes when accessing a subpage that contains a YouTube video which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time our website is accessed; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of the YouTube account before accessing our website.<\/p>\n<p>The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which are available at https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<br \/>\n, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.<\/p>\n<h4>11. Legal basis for processing<\/h4>\n<p>Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect 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 his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In such a case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator 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).<\/p>\n<h4>12. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party<\/h4>\n<p>If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.<\/p>\n<h4>13. Duration for which personal data is stored<\/h4>\n<p>The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely erased, provided it is no longer necessary for contract performance or contract initiation.<\/p>\n<h4>14. Legal or contractual provisions for providing personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide<\/h4>\n<p>We 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). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which 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 him or her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, 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 personal data is required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of failure to provide the personal data would be.<\/p>\n<h4>15. Existence of automated decision-making<\/h4>\n<p>As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-435","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/435\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":465,"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/435\/revisions\/465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damax-gmbh.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
