PROTECTED DATA

NO SPAM

§1 General information

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this data protection declaration, we would like to explain to you in what way, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.

Responsible for the data processing on this website and in our company is:

Winterholt & Hering GmbH

Albert-Einstein-Ring 12

DE - 25451 Quickborn (Germany)

E-Mail: whoffice@whoffice.de

Telephone number: +49 4106 – 79970

§2 General notes

2.1 - SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails via the Internet, you always have to reckon with unauthorised third parties accessing your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as best we can and to close security gaps as far as we can.

An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can identify the encryption by the lock icon in front of the internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.

2.2 - How long do we store your data?

At some points in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.

However, in the event of an objection or revocation, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing data processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms (only in the case of objection to data processing; if the objection is to direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).

Data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is to direct marketing).

We are required by law to retain your data.br>

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease to apply.

2.3 - Data transfer to the USA

On our website, we also use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it there and process it if necessary. This is particularly important for you because your data does not enjoy the same protection in the USA as it does within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

2.4 - Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company:

Ms Eileen Winterholt

Albert-Einstein-Ring

DE - 25451 Quickborn(Germany)

Telefon: +49 4106 7997 - 0

E-Mail: datenschutz@whoffice.de

§2 Your rights

Objection to data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE RELY ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER ART. 21 DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING WHICH IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE THE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION WHICH RESULT FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO JUSTIFICATION IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:

WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
THE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS.

THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT ADVERTISING OR AGAINST PROFILING THAT IS CONNECTED WITH THIS.

§3 Other rights

3.1 - Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: we are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.

3.2 - Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right of complaint exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.

3.3 - Right to data portability

Data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in execution of a contract must be handed over to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another responsible party if this is technically possible.

3.4 - Right to information, deletion and correction of data

According to Art. 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected (Art. 16 DSGVO), and under the conditions of Art. 17 DSGVO you may demand that we delete the data.

3.5 - Right to restrict processing

In certain situations, you can demand that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO. The data may then - apart from storage - only be processed as follows:

with your permission
for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims
for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State

The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:

You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to check this. Here, the right exists for the duration of the review.
The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. Here you have the alternative right to have the data deleted.
We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. Here you have the alternative right to have the data deleted.
You have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and now your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. Here, the right exists as long as the result of the weighing has not yet been determined.

§4 Hosting und Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

4.1 - External hosting

Our website is located on a server of the following internet service provider (hoster):

Sylinx GmbH

Bahnhofstr. 26

DE - 88339 Bad Waldsee (Germany)

4.2 - How do we process your data?

The hoster stores all data from our website. This also includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through your input. This can be in particular: Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and enquiries as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, Sylinx GmbH adheres to our instructions and only ever processes the data to the extent that this is necessary to fulfil its obligation to provide services to us.

4.3 - On what legal basis do we process your data?

Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfil contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional Internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

§5 Data collection on this website

5.1 - Use of cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for different purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping basket in an online shop. Still other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or to optimise advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).

5.2 - How we process your data?

Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device if you do not delete them yourself. This can lead, for example, to your user behaviour being permanently analysed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:

Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain cases?
Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close the browser?

If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this within the framework of this data protection declaration. We also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.

5.3 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offers can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO, provided that you give us the corresponding consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies are also stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

§6 Cookie-Einwilligung mit Usercentrics

6.1 - What is Usercentrics?

Consent Management Platform (CMP) for obtaining, processing and forwarding GDPR-compliant consents.

6.2 - Who processes your data?

Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 München, Germany

6.3 - Where can you find more information about data protection at Usercentrics?

https://usercentrics.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung/

6.4 - How do we process your data?

We use the Usercentrics consent management platform to obtain your consent to the storage of cookies on your device and to document it in a data protection-compliant manner. When you visit our website and close the cookie window of Usercentrics with the request for consent, the following data is transmitted to the company:

Your consent(s) or revocation of your consent(s)
Your IP address
nformation about your browser
Information about your terminal device
the time of your visit to the website

In addition, Usercentrics stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to your browser. All data collected will be stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Usercentrics cookie or request us to delete the data. This only does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.

6.5 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. In order to fulfil this obligation, we use Usercentrics. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO.

§7 Server log files

Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymised by the provider after a short time so that we cannot assign the data to you personally. The data is automatically transmitted to our provider by your browser.

7.1 - How we process your data?

Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address (anonymised if necessary)

We do not combine this data with other data, but only use it for statistical evaluation and to improve our website.

7.2 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymised overview of the accesses to our website. The data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

§8 Contact form

You can send us a message via the contact form on this website.

8.1 - How we process your data?

We store your message and the information from the form in order to be able to process your enquiry including follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent..

8.2 - How long do we store your data?

We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:

Your request has been finalised.
You request us to delete the data.
You revoke your consent to storage.

This only does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.

8.3 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

If your enquiry is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process enquiries directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

§9 Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

You can send us a message by e-mail or fax or call us.

9.1 - How we process your data?

We store your message as well as the contact details you have given us or the telephone number you have given us in order to be able to process your enquiry including follow-up questions. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.

§11 Analysis tools and advertising

We use the following tools to analyse the behaviour of our website visitors and show them advertisements.

11.1 - Matomo Analytics (locally installed)

11.1.1 - How we process your data?

We are always interested in optimising our website for users and placing advertising in the best possible way. We are helped in this by Matomo Analytics, an open-source tool that analyses user behaviour and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments. Matomo uses cookies, device fingerprinting and other technologies that enable the recognition of the user across pages to analyse user behaviour. Matomo records the page views, from which region they come, the IP address, referrers, browsers used and operating systems. In addition, the tool can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. click on links or make purchases). After anonymisation of your IP address, the collected data is stored exclusively on our server.

11.1.2 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour for the purpose of optimising our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to the data processing, only Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

11.2 - Leadinfo

We use the lead generation service of Leadinfo B.V..

Leadinfo's lead generation service is a service provided by Leadinfo B.V., based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This recognises visits by companies to our website by means of IP addresses and shows us publicly available information for this purpose, such as company names or addresses. In addition, Leadinfo sets two first-party cookies to analyse user behaviour on our website and processes domains from form entries (e.g. "leadinfo.com") to correlate IP addresses with companies and improve the services. These cookies are not linked to any other information.

You can find more information underwww.leadinfo.com.

11.2.1 - WHow we process your data?

The data processing is essentially carried out by the provider of the services, Leadinfo B.V.. Directly after Leadinfo's systems have received an IP address, matching company data is requested and displayed in the Leadinfo dashboard. The IP addresses themselves are not displayed or stored in the Leadinfo dashboard available to us. If you no longer wish your data to be collected via Leadinfo's lead generation service in the future, you have the option of sending an email to info@leadinfo.com to remove your IP address from the Leadinfo database.

11.2.2 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to the processing of data, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

On this page you have an www.leadinfo.com/en/opt-outopt-out option. In the event of an opt-out, your data will no longer be collected by Leadinfo.

§12 Newsletter and mail advertising - Mailjet

Service for sending newsletters and analysing recipient behaviour.

12.2 - Who processes your data?

Mailjet GmbH, Rankestr. 21, 10789 Berlin, Germany

12.3 - Where to find more information about data protection at Mailjet?

https://www.mailjet.de/privacy-policy/ und https://www.mailjet.de/sending-policy/

12.4 - How we process your dat?

We use Mailjet for our newsletter distribution. The service manages the data of the newsletter subscribers for us, sends our newsletter and analyses our newsletter campaigns.

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your e-mail address. We will also check by means of a confirmation email (double opt-in procedure) whether you are really the owner of this email address. We do not collect any further data or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for sending the newsletter.

If we send a newsletter via Mailjet and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to Mailjet's servers. In this way, the service learns that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links it contains. In addition, Mailjet collects technical information such as the time of the retrieval, the IP address, browser type and operating system.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.

12.5 - How long do we store your data?

After you have unsubscribed, the data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. Under certain circumstances, we may blacklist your email address at the same time; this is necessary, for example, if we have received an objection to advertising from you. The storage is then based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time after the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist or at our own discretion.

12.6 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

By entering your name in the subscriber list, you consent to data processing by Mailjet. This is done lawfully on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent by unsubscribing from the newsletter or by sending us an informal message. For us, this means that we may no longer send you newsletters from this point on.

§13 Plugins and tools

13.1 - YouTube (with enhanced privacy)

What is YouTube?

Video platform

Who processes your data?

Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland

Where can you find more information about privacy on YouTube?

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

13.1.2 - How we process your data?

You can watch YouTube videos on our website. Google, as the provider of YouTube, collects and stores certain information about you. However, since we use YouTube in extended data protection mode, this only happens when you start a video. In concrete terms, the following happens in this case:

Google's servers are informed which of our pages were visited from your device. If you are logged into your YouTube account while surfing, Google can assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. If you do not want this to happen, you must log out of your YouTube account before you continue to surf the Internet.
Google receives information about visitors to our website via cookies, device fingerprinting or similar recognition technologies. On this basis, the company then compiles video statistics, makes its app more attractive to users and prevents fraud attempts.
If necessary, your data may also be processed beyond this. However, we are not aware of the details. We also have no influence on the processing.

Even if you do not launch a YouTube video on our website, Google will establish a connection to its DoubleClick network and possibly also to other partners. The extended data protection mode therefore does not mean that Google processes no data from you at all when you visit our website.

13.1.3 - n what legal basis do we process your data?

By integrating YouTube videos, we want to make our website and our services and offers more appealing. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.

13.2 - Google Maps

What is Google Maps?

Map service provided by Google Ireland Ltd.

Who processes your data?

Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland

Where to find more information about Google's privacy policy?

Google complies with the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance)

13.2.1 - How we process your data?

We use Google Maps on our website. To enable you to use all the functions of the map service, Google stores your IP address on one of its servers in the USA.

13.2.2 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

The maps from Google Maps ensure that the places indicated on our website are easier to find for visitors. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

§14 eCommerce and payment providers

14.1 - Customer and contract data

14.1.1 - How we process your data

When we conclude a contract with you, we require certain personal data from you. We collect, process and use this data only insofar as it is necessary to establish our legal relationship, to shape its content or to change it. If you can only use our services via our website or if the services are billed via the website, we also collect usage data insofar as this is necessary to enable you to use our offer or to bill the service used.

14.1.2 - How long do we store your data?

We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are legally obliged to keep the data longer.

14.1.3 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

14.2 - Data transmission for goods shipment

14.2.1 - How we process your data?

When you order goods from us, we transmit your data to companies that we commission with the delivery and/or through which we process the payment. In doing so, only data that is necessary for the commissioned company to be able to carry out the specific order will be transmitted. If we want to pass on data beyond this, we will obtain your consent. We do not pass on your data for advertising purposes.

14.2.2 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

We share your data in order to fulfil the contract we have concluded with you. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR

14.3 - Data transmission when using services and digital content

14.3.1 - How we process your data?

For the processing of the payment, we transmit your data to a payment service or the credit institution commissioned with the payment processing. We only pass on data that is absolutely necessary for the payment process. If we want to pass on data beyond this, we will obtain your consent.

14.3.2 - On which legal basis do we process your data?

We share your data in order to fulfil the contract we have concluded with you. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) of the GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

14.4 - Data transmission for dropshipping

Dropshipping means that ordered goods are delivered directly from the manufacturer or wholesaler to you. In our case that is:

Winterholt & Hering GmbH

Albert-Einstein-Ring 12

DE - 25451 Quickborn ( Germany )

14.4.1 - How we process your data?

In addition, we have a legitimate interest in processing purchases as quickly and effectively as possible. In this respect, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) of the GDPR.

§15 Revocastion

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

Vous pouvez vous opposer au suivi de votre navigation sur ce site web. Cela protégera votre vie privée, mais empêchera également le propriétaire d'apprendre de vos actions et de créer une meilleure expérience pour vous et les autres utilisateurs.

Vous n'êtes pas exclu(e). Décochez cette case pour vous exclure.

After your revocation, an opt-out cookie will be stored on your terminal device. If you delete your cookies, you will be asked again to give your consent.
