Privacy Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under the data protection laws. As a matter of principle, it is possible to use our Internet pages without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, shall always be in line with the German Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung - DS-GVO), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the "City of Görlitz" and the "Europastadt GörlitzZgorzelec GmbH für Wirtschaftsentwicklung, Stadtmarketing und Tourismus". By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by post.

You can also take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. Therefore, we would like to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:

  • Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with strong passwords.
  • Only you should have access to the passwords.
  • Make sure that you only use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account) at a time.
  • Do not use one password for different websites, applications or online services.
  • Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, make sure you log out after each login to a website, application or online service.

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, your own name or names of relatives, but upper and lower case, numbers and special characters.

4. DEFINITIONS

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance Maker when issuing the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our data protection declaration should 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 terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

1. personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 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.

2. data subject
Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

3. processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4. restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

5. profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data which consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

6. pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7. processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the Controller.

8. Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

9. third party
Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

10. Consent
Consent means any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. LEGAL BASIS OF THE PROCESSING

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO (in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TDDDG) 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 you are 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 (1) lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DS-GVO.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DS-GVO.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

6. TRANSMISSION OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share your personal data with third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO,
2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c DS-GVO, as well as
4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Article 49 (1) a) of the GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR.

7. TECHNOLOGY

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information each time you or an automated system access a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can 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 arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
4. the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of access to the website,
6. an abbreviated internet protocol address (anonymised IP address) as well as,
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

1. to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
2. to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,
3. to ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

Therefore, the data and information collected will be evaluated by us, on the one hand, statistically and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

 

8. COOKIES

8.1 General information about cookies

Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case from the context of the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO.

For all other cookies, you must have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO via our opt-in cookie banner.

 

9 CONTENTS OF OUR WEBSITE

9.1 Registration as a user
You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data.

The personal data that is transmitted to us in this process is specified in the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for it to be passed on to one or more order processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to us.

By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offences. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if the passing on of the data serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

Your registration, with voluntary provision of personal data, also enables us to offer you content or services which, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

Upon request, we will provide you at any time with information about which personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, insofar as this does not conflict with any legal obligations to retain data. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

The processing of your data is carried out in the interest of a comfortable and simple use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f DS-GVO.

9.2 Data processing when opening a customer account and for the execution of a contract
Pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO, personal data is collected and processed if you provide it to us for the execution of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above address of the person responsible. We store and use the data provided by you for the purpose of processing the contract. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked, taking into account tax and commercial law retention periods, and deleted after expiry of these periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further use of data has been reserved on our part, about which we inform you accordingly below.

9.3 Data processing for order processing
The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the framework of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.

9.4 Contacting us / contact form
Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DS-GVO. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

9.5 Services / Digital goods
We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of processing the contract, for example to the credit institution commissioned with processing the payment.

Further transmission of data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

9.6 Comment functions (with subscription)
For the comment function on this site, in addition to your comment, information about the time of the creation of the comment, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, the user name you have chosen will be stored.

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. As we do not check comments on our site before they are activated, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults. As a user of our website, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info emails. In this case, the data entered in the context of subscribing to comments will be deleted; however, if you have submitted this data to us for other purposes and at another point (e.g. the newsletter order), it will remain with us. The comments and the associated data (e.g. the IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. due to insults).

The storage of the comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

9.7 Comment function blog
We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on our website. A blog is a portal on a website, usually publicly viewable, in which one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. The blogposts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If you leave a comment in the blog published on this website, details of when you entered the comment and the user name you chose will be stored and published in addition to the comments you leave. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in case you have violated the rights of third parties or posted illegal content through a comment you have made. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest so that we can exculpate ourselves in the event of an infringement. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. The personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves our legal defence.


9.8 Application management / job exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 88 DS-GVO in conjunction with. § Section 26 (1) BDSG.

9.9 Facebook Connect
On our website, you can log in to create a customer account or register using the social plugin "Facebook Connect" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook Inc.), 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Meta"), within the framework of the so-called single sign-on technology, if you have a Facebook profile. You can recognise the social plugins from "Facebook Connect" on our website by the blue button with the Facebook logo and the words "Log in with Facebook" or "Connect with Facebook" or "Log in with Facebook" or "Sign in with Facebook".

When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Meta's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Meta server in the USA and stored there. These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

By using this "Facebook Connect" button on our website, you also have the option of logging in or registering on our website using your Facebook user data. Only if you give your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO prior to the registration process on the basis of a corresponding notice about the exchange of data with Facebook, do we receive the general and publicly accessible information stored in your profile when using the "Facebook Connect" button from Facebook, depending on your personally made data protection settings at Facebook. This information includes the user ID, name, profile picture, age and gender.

We would like to point out that, following changes to Facebook's data protection conditions and terms of use, there may also be a transfer of your profile pictures, the user IDs of your friends and the friends list if these have been marked as "public" in your privacy settings on Facebook. The data transmitted by Facebook will be stored and processed by us for the creation of a user account with the necessary data, if these have been released by you on Facebook for this purpose (title, first name, last name, address data, country, e-mail address, date of birth). Conversely, data (e.g. information on your surfing or purchasing behaviour) may be transferred from us to your Facebook profile on the basis of your consent.

The consent given can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the responsible person named at the beginning of this declaration.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with "Adblock Plus" (https://adblockplus.org/de/).


10 NEWSLETTER DISPATCH

10.1 Brevo (former Sendinblue)
This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.

Brevo is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organised and analysed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on Brevo's servers in Germany.

If you do not want Brevo to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe directly on the website.

You can revoke the consent you have given at any time. You can also prevent processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser accordingly. You can also prevent the storage and transmission of personal data by deactivating JavaScript in your web browser or installing a JavaScript blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net oder https://www.ghostery.com). We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links have been clicked on particularly frequently.

We can also see whether certain previously defined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Brevo also enables us to divide the newsletter recipients into different categories (so-called "clustering"). In doing so, the newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to age, gender or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.

Detailed information on the functions of Brevo can be found at the following link: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/newsletter-software/.

The data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of Brevo after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remains unaffected by this.

You can view the data protection provisions of Brevo at: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/datenschutz-2/.

11 OUR ACTIVITIES IN SOCIAL NETWORKS

So that we can also communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 DS-GVO, with the provider of the respective social media platform.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precaution, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and the processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behaviour is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks.

The described processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO in conjunction with Art. 7 DS-GVO. Art. 7 DS-GVO.

As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks is listed below under the respective social network provider used by us:

13 Plugins and other services

13.1 YouTube (videos)
We have integrated YouTube components on this website. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
