Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh. The use of the Internet pages of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email 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 regulations applicable to solar protect sonnensegel gmbh. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the general public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller for processing, solar protect sonnensegel gmbh has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative channels, for example by telephone.
Definitions
The privacy policy of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Regulation grantor when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easily readable and understandable 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.
In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:
personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as „data subject“). A natural person is considered to be identifiable 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 special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
affected person
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
Profiling
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 that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
Pseudonymization
Pseudonymisation means 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller or Data Controller
The controller or controller for the 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 or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Data processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient
Recipient means 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.
Third
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
Consent
Consent means 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.

Cookies
The website of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh uses 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 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.
By using cookies, solar protect sonnensegel gmbh can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the user's interest. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize 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 access data 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 of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may 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 deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable under certain circumstances.

Collection of general data and information
The website of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh collects a series of general data and information each time the website is called up by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The data collected may include (1) the 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 referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an 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.
When using these general data and information, solar protect sonnensegel 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 and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, this anonymously collected data and information is evaluated by solar protect sonnensegel gmbh on the one hand statistically and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
Contact option via the website
Due to statutory regulations, the website of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
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 far as this is granted by the European Directive and Regulation maker or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation giver or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Rights of the data subject

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directives and regulations legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and as long as the processing is not necessary:
- The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

The employee of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh shall arrange for the necessary measures to be taken in each individual case.
Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation maker to obtain from the controller restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by solar protect sonnensegel gmbh, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time for this purpose. The employee of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh will initiate the restriction of processing.
Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation maker to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, provided that 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, except where 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, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh at any time.
Right to object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, solar protect sonnensegel gmbh will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If solar protect sonnensegel gmbh 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 concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes to solar protect sonnensegel gmbh, solar protect sonnensegel gmbh will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is carried out by solar protect sonnensegel gmbh for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of solar protect sonnensegel gmbh directly or any other employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation maker not to 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) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject's explicit consent, solar protect sonnensegel gmbh shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which at least include the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time for this purpose.
Right to withdraw data protection consent
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation maker to withdraw 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 data controller at any time for this purpose.
Data privacy in job applications and the application process
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out by electronic means. This is particularly the case if an applicant transmits corresponding application documents to the data controller by electronic means, for example by email or via a web form located on the website. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the data controller, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymity function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data regarding the behavior of visitors to internet sites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data on which internet site a data subject came to an internet site from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the internet site were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is predominantly used to optimize an internet site and for a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
For web analysis via Google Analytics, the data controller uses the addition „_gat._anonymizeIp“. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our internet pages comes from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us that show activities on our websites, and to provide other services associated with the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. The setting of the cookie enables Google to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, 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 procedure, Google gains 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.
By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which an access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time you visit our internet pages, 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 procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as already stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website 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 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.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to and prevent 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. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers the installation of the browser add-on to be an objection. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, there is the option to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
Legal basis for processing
Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company 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, when processing operations are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become 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 in our company and as a result their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6 (1) lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override them. Such processing operations are permitted to us particularly because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, 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 of the GDPR).Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
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 benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
Duration for which the personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner).
Sometimes the conclusion of a contract may require an affected person to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the affected person is obligated to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. A failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being able to be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee shall inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is statutory or contractual, or required for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences would be of not providing the personal data.Passing an automated decision-making process
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool „Real Cookie Banner“. Details on how „Real Cookie Banner“ works can be found at <a href="/en/“https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/“/" rel="“noreferrer“" target="“_blank“">https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/</a>.
The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the consents given in this regard.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obligated to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.
This sample privacy policy was created by Privacy policy generator the German Data Protection Society, in cooperation with the Media law created by the lawyers WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Rechtsanwälte.
