SECTION IV. – Use and Purpose of the processing and its Lawful Bases

  1. Use and Purpose of the Processing

We process personal data that we receive directly from our customers in the course of our business relationship. In addition, we process personal data that we collect from other companies, to carry out orders, to fulfil contracts or on the basis of consent we have received from you, for example. We also process personal data that we have legitimately gained and are permitted to process from publicly available sources, such as commercial registers, the press, the media or the internet. The personal data provided by you will be processed according to the applicable regulations on personal data protection, only for the purposes communicated by you and for which you have given consent for its use. In particular, for:

  • initiation or performance of the contract with you;
  • being able to process and answer your enquiries adequately and effectively;
  • tailoring services and offers to you;
  • processing your requests and orders;
  • providing particular information or offers to you;
  • maintaining legitimate business interests, in terms of customer service and customer
    care.

Your personal data is not disclosed to third parties without your express consent.

  1. Lawful Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a lawful basis for the processing. The lawful basis for the processing may, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) to (f) of the GDPR, in particular be:

  1. the Data Subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more specific purposes;
  2. the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the Data Subject is a contractual party or in order to fulfil contractual requirements at the request of the Data Subject;
  3. the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject;
  4. the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the Data Subject or another natural person;
  5. the processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority conferred on the Data Controller;
  6. the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the Data Controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail, in particular where the Data Subject is a child.

SECTION V. – Collection of Personal Data

  1. Server Log Files

With each visit to our website, whether by a Data Subject or via an automated system, a set of general data and information is collected for the maintenance and safe operation of our website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. This data is collected only to the extent that it is technically necessary. The data remains anonymous and is evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes to improve our websites and online services. The data collected is used solely for statistical evaluations and to improve the website. We reserve the right, however, to review the server log files subsequently, in the event that concrete and valid evidence indicates an illegal use of our website.

3.Acquisition and Processing of the Data Types in Server Log Files

Where the website is used for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to guarantee its stability and security. These items are:

  • websites visited
  • time of access
  • amount of data sent in bytes
  • source/reference from which you accessed the page
  • information about the internet service provider of the accessing system
  • browser type used and its version
  • operating system used for browser access
  • IP address used (anonymised)
  • website from which an accessing system reaches our website (the referrer)
  • the sub-pages that are controlled via an access system on our website
  • other similar data and information used for risk prevention in the case of attacks on our
    information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Regine IQtrim GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the Data Subject. Rather, this information is needed to

  • correctly deliver the content on our website;
  • optimise the contents and advertising of our website;
  • ensure the functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of
    our website;
  • provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law
    enforcement in the event of a cyber-attack.

This data and information collected anonymously are therefore statistically evaluated by Regine IQtrim GmbH 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 from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data given by a Data Subject and, therefore, does not provide any conclusions about individual persons. This means that your personal data is protected at all times. This data is processed based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR under the legitimate interest in the provision and secure operation of our website. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement.

5.Contact Options

On the basis of statutory regulations, the Regine IQtrim GmbH website contains information that enables customers to quickly contact us electronically, as well to communicate with us directly, which also includes a general e-mail address.

If a Data Subject contacts us by e-mail or any other means of contact, the personal data transmitted by the Data Subject will be automatically stored. We process your personal data which you provide to us by e-mail contact form, etc. to answer and fulfil your requests. You are not obliged to provide your personal data. But if you do not provide us your e-mail address we cannot reply by e-mail. Personal data submitted on a voluntary basis to us is stored for purposes of processing the request and contacting the Data Subject.

This personal data is not transmitted to third parties.

By sending your message, you consent to the processing of the data transferred. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR with your consent.

You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation. We will only use your e-mail address to respond to your enquiry. Your data will then be deleted, taking into account statutory and, in particular, tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

6.Communication by E-mail

Your personal data is stored using all possible technical and organisational measures so that it is not accessible to third parties. As the recipient, we cannot guarantee complete data security for e-mail communication, so we recommend that you send confidential information by post. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation.

7.Form Function

Where there is the possibility of entering personal data on our website, data is disclosed on an expressly voluntary basis. Of course, this data will be handled confidentially by us.

By submitting your data, you consent to the processing of the data transferred. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR with your consent.

You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation.

8.Contact Form

When contacting us via our contact form, we only collect the personal data (name, e-mail address and message text) provided by you. This processing serves to contact you and respond to your request.

Your data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. You have the right to object to the data processing under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of legitimate interest and not for the purpose of direct marketing for reasons that arise from your particular situation at any time. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement.

This personal data collected is not disclosed to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by law or serves for the legal defence of the Data Controller. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer necessary, or processing is restricted, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this.

SECTION VI – Use and Processing

  1. Information

We only store and process data which you voluntarily provide to us. If you make use of services, generally only data that we absolutely need to provide the services and to safeguard our own legitimate business interests is collected. If we ask you for further information, you are under no obligation to provide it.

If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no lawful basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent for the processing the data of the Data Subject. Personal data is always processed in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and in accordance with the state-specific data protection provisions applicable to Regine IQtrim GmbH.

Regine IQtrim GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures as the Data Controller in order to ensure that all personal data processed via this website is protected as best as possible. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can by their very nature have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be 100% guaranteed. For this reason, every Data Subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

9.Consent

If it is necessary to obtain personal data, the processing of which is permitted or provided for on a lawful basis, we collect this from the Data Subject before processing in the form of voluntary consent. You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation.

10.Legitimate Interest

If the processing is absolutely necessary to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and it must be ensured that the interests are proportionate and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject do not prevail, then we conduct the processing on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in a considered assessment of risks related to this and in full awareness of our fiduciary duty according to strict assessment criteria, which otherwise are not included in any of the above mentioned lawful bases. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement.

We are, in particular, allowed to carry out such processing procedures that sometimes become necessary because they have been specifically provided for in EU legislation. In this regard this maintains the condition that, for example, a legitimate interest could be assumed if the Data Subject is a customer of the Data Controller. (see Recital 47(2) of the GDPR).

11.Direct Marketing

We use your e-mail address, which we have obtained within the framework of a personal contact or in connection with an agency/project undertaking or in connection with a service delivery/claim or in connection with the sale/purchase of a good/product, for the electronic transmission of marketing for our own offers, products or services, which are similar to those that you have already ordered with us, if you have not objected to such use. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in direct marketing. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, without giving any reasons, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement. You can also use the dedicated link in the promotional e-mail. There are no other costs involved in sending this notification other than the transmission costs in accordance with the basic tariffs.

12.Credit Check

We wish to point out that we are entitled to send all relevant data concerning outstanding claims made on the basis of non-contractual behaviour to credit agencies, in compliance with the statutory requirements.

If we make advance outlays, for example, if you pay on account or on credit, we reserve the right to obtain a credit rating. To do this, we submit the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency. We use the information obtained about the statistical probability of default for making a balanced decision with respect to the conclusion, execution or termination of the contract. Your legitimate interests will be taken into account in accordance with the legal requirements.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of the aforementioned legitimate interest. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you can contact us at any time, as the Data Controller. The credit information can contain probability values (score values), which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical methods.

13.Processing of Personal Data

When creating a quotation or offer acceptance, we collect and use personal data only as necessary to generate, fulfil and process quotes and/or contracts, as well as to process requests in this regard. This data must be provided in order to conclude the contract.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and is necessary to conclude and execute a contract with you. Service providers employed by us and acting on our behalf (order processors, see Article 28 GDPR) can process data for purposes mentioned in Section IV, Part A.

Existing services which the contractor generally uses with third parties as an ancillary service, in support of its operation or its business in the context of order processing, also fall within the sense of this statement. In such cases, personal data is processed by the operator under contract in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR in connection with Section of the 62 BDSG.

Inasmuch as ancillary services also need to be used for the processing, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in maintaining business operations. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement. These include ancillary services to ensure the confidentiality, availability, integrity and capacity of the computer hardware and software used and called upon by the contractor, such as:

  • telecommunications providers as part of maintenance and services
  • cleaning and/or security services
  • auditors in the context of certifications
  • waste disposal services
  • data centre services
  • postal/transportation services
  • IT service providers for system maintenance and user service.

14.Data Transfer

Your data is not disclosed to third parties, who then process it under their own responsibility, without your express consent. Only our service partners which we need to conduct the contractual relationship or service providers we use in the course of order processing are excluded from this. The scope of the disclosure of data is limited to a minimum. In all cases, we assure you that when choosing our service providers which we use in individual cases, we select these carefully and in good faith, in terms of their suitability and reliability, ensuring that they satisfy our own requirements and standards.

15.Transmissions

Personal data is transmitted to authorised national institutions and authorities only within the framework of relevant laws or unless we are required by a court decision to do so. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR.

16.Data Transfer to a Third Country

We do not envisage transmitting your data to a third country. If our service providers or partners are located in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this in the description of the relevant offer.

17.Categories of Recipients

Within Regine IQtrim GmbH, only those persons who receive your data and are entrusted with processing the contract or handling your request. Otherwise, personal data is processed on our behalf, on the basis of contracts pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 62 of the BDSG. In addition to the recipient named in the respective provisions of this data protection statement, this may be to recipients in the following categories:

The Data Controller processes and stores the personal data of the Data Subject only for the period that is necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage. After completion of the contract, the data is first stored for the duration of the warranty period; then, taking into account any legal and, in particular, tax and commercial retention periods, your data is stored and then deleted after this period, unless you have agreed to further processing and use or unless this is otherwise determined by the European Commission or any other laws or regulations to which the Data Controller is subject.

19.Confidentiality and Data Protection

Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are contractually bound to confidentiality and to comply with data protection, in accordance with regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act.

20.Children and/or Young People

Our offer is essentially aimed at adults. Persons below the age of 18 should not transmit personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.

We generally require no personal data from a child or children or a young person or young people, and we do not collect and or disclose such data to third parties. Nevertheless, in special circumstances, we may need and request such personal data to process an application, under our legitimate interest in the application for the establishment of a possible employment relationship.

In such cases, personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, for the legitimate interest of the aforementioned purpose and to obtain the necessary written consent of one or more parents or guardians in the processing.

The parents or guardians may revoke their consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement.

If the Data Controller concludes an employment or placement contract with an applicant, the data to be transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. This data is processed on basis of Section 26(1) in conjunction with (8)(2) of the BDSG in the course of employment.

21.Job Applications

Insofar as the application is necessary to fulfil a contract with the applicant or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the lawful basis for processing the data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

If this is a speculative application, the data is processed based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, with the consent of the applicant.

You can revoke consent provided under the lawful basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR at any time by informing us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation.

Insofar as ancillary services are to be used for processing, the processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on the legitimate interest in the handling of the application process. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement.

The lawful basis for processing the data beyond any other lawful basis is in any case the consent of the applicant in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

As part of the application process, we obtain the consent of the applicant. You can revoke consent provided under the lawful basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR at any time by informing us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation.

If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no lawful basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent for the processing the data of the Data Subject. You can revoke consent provided under the lawful basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR at any time by informing us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent until the time of revocation.

As far as employment between you and us is concerned, we may process the personal data already obtained from you for employment purposes. The lawful basis flows from Section 26(1) in conjunction with (8)(2) of the BDSG if this is necessary for the creation, implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for exercising or fulfilling the rights and obligations of the employees resulting therefrom.

Otherwise, the application process ends with the receipt of the rejection by the applicant.

In the event that an employment relationship between you and us does not come into effect, we may also continue to store data based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to the extent necessary to defend against possible legal claims. You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time, as the Data Controller or our data protection officer, using the contact details provided in this statement.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Regine IQtrim GmbH will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove there are compelling reasons to continue the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the Data Subject, or that the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

The Data Subject has the right, for reasons arising from his/her particular situation, to object to the relevant processing of personal data which Regine IQtrim GmbH carries out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes, in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right, in accordance with Article 77 of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 29 of the BDSG, to contact the supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful.
