First of all, we would like to inform you here about your rights as a person concerned. These rights are standardised in Articles 15 - 22 of the EU GDPR. This includes:

• The right to information (Article 15 EU-DS-BER),
• The right to cancellation (Art. 17 EU GDPR),
• The right to rectification (Art. 16 EU GDPR),
• The right to data transfer (Art. 20 EU GDPR),
• The right to restrict data processing (Art. 18 EU GDPR),
• The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 EU GDPR).

To claim these rights, please contact: info@ehrle.com. The same applies if you have questions about data processing in our company. You also have a right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority.

Please note the following in connection with rights of objection:

The processing of your personal data complies with the provisions of the EU GDPR and all other applicable data protection regulations. Legal bases for data processing result in particular from Art. 6 EU GDPR.

We use your data for business initiation, for the fulfilment of contractual and legal obligations, for the execution of the contractual relationship, for offering products and services and for strengthening the customer relationship, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising.

Your consent also constitutes a data protection regulation. In doing so, we will inform you about the purposes of data processing and your right of withdrawal. If the consent also relates to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will expressly inform you in the consent, Art. 88 para. 1 EU-GDPR.

Processing of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) EU GDPR only takes place if this is required by law and there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interest in the exclusion of processing predominates, Art. 88 (1) EU GDPR.

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of legal regulations or with appropriate consent. Otherwise, data will not be passed on to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal provisions (transfer to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement authorities).

Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it to fulfil their contractual and legal obligations.

In many cases, service providers support our specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. The necessary data protection agreements have been concluded with all service providers. Your data may be viewed by web hosting service providers.

Data will only be transmitted to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary for the performance of the contractual obligation, is required by law or you have given us your consent.

We do not transfer your personal data to a service provider or group company outside the European Economic Area.

We store your data as long as it is needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data continue to be (must be) stored. This applies in particular to commercial or tax storage obligations (e.g. German Commercial Code, Fiscal Code, etc.). If there are no further storage obligations, the data will be routinely deleted after the purpose has been achieved.

In Addition, we may retain data if you have given us permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence within statutory limitation periods of up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.

In order to protect the data stored by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures. The security levels are continuously checked in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

The data exchange from and to our website is always encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, in each case using the current encryption protocols. It is also possible to use alternative communication channels (e.g. by post).

Various personal data are necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the obligation and the fulfilment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.

We have summarised the details for you in the above point. In certain cases, data must also be collected or made available on the basis of legal regulations. Please note that it is not possible to process your request or to perform the underlying obligation without providing this data.

The context determines which data we process: This depends on whether you place an order online or enter an enquiry in our contact form, whether you send us an application or submit a complaint.

Please note that we may also make information available separately at a suitable location for special processing situations, e.g. when uploading application documents or making a contact request.

When you visit our website we collect and process the following data:

• Name of the Internet service provider
• Information about the website from which you are visiting us
• Web browser and operating system used
• The IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider
• Requested files, transferred data volume, downloads/file export
• Information about the websites you visit, including date and time
   
• For reasons of technical security (in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server) these data are stored in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter F EU- GDPR. After 7 days at the latest, anonymization takes place by shortening the IP address, so that no reference to the user is established.
   

As part of the order process we process the following data:

• Salutation
• Last name, first name
• Date of birth
• Shipping address
• Billing address
• Email address
• Data which may legitimately be processed from other sources
   

In the context of a contact inquiry we collect and process the following data:

• Last name, first name
• Contact details
• Salutation, Subject
• Information on wishes, interests, communications and news

There is a contact form on our website which can be used for electronic contact. If you write to us using the contact form, we will process the information you provide in the contact form to contact you and answer your questions and requests.

Here, the principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed, in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need to contact you. These are your name and e-mail address as well as the message field itself. In addition, your IP address is processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. All other data are voluntary fields and can be entered optionally (e.g. for more individual answers to your questions).

If you contact us by e-mail, we will process the personal data provided in the e-mail solely for the purpose of processing your inquiry. If you do not use the offered forms to contact us, no further data will be collected.

EHRLE GmbH is interested in maintaining customer relations with you and sending you information and offers about our products / services. We therefore process your data in order to send you relevant information and offers by e-mail.

We do not use purely automated processing processes to bring about a decision.
