3. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

NAiSE GmbH
Demetriusweg 25
70563 Stuttgart

Telephone: +49 (0)711 25294961
Email: info@naise.eu

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these grounds cease to apply.

General Notes on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (DSGVO) and, where special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR (DSGVO) are processed, on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR (DSGVO). In the case of an explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (DSGVO). If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data are required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (DSGVO). Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (DSGVO). Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (DSGVO). The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are set out in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Notice Regarding the Transfer of Data to Countries Not Providing an Adequate Level of Data Protection and to US Companies Not Certified under the DPF

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We draw attention to the fact that in countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection there can be no guarantee of a data protection level comparable to that of the EU.

We point out that the USA, as a secure third country, generally provides a data protection level comparable to the EU. Data transfers to the USA are therefore permissible if the recipient holds a certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This can also involve the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (DSGVO) in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of the data. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a Joint Controller Agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR (DSGVO), YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR (DSGVO)).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR (DSGVO)).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR (DSGVO), data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have them transmitted to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR (DSGVO), a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may, apart from their storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby rejected. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (DSGVO), unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (DSGVO) and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Enquiry by Email, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on these data without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (DSGVO), insofar as your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (DSGVO)) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (DSGVO)) if this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete them, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

WP Statistics

This website uses the analytics tool WP Statistics to evaluate visitor access statistically. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134, Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).

With WP Statistics, we can analyse the use of our website. WP Statistics records, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, browsers used, origin of the user, search engine used) and actions performed by website visitors on the site (e.g. clicks and views).

The data collected with WP Statistics are stored exclusively on our own server.

The use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (DSGVO). We have a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both our web offering and our advertising. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (DSGVO) and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data are collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass them on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (DSGVO)). You can withdraw the consent given to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after the newsletter has been cancelled or the purpose has ceased to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (DSGVO).

Data that have been stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected by this.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (DSGVO)). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
