We collect, store and use your personal data exclusively within the framework of the provisions of the Regulation on Data Protection Law of the European Union and the Federal Republic of Germany. In the following, we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data. Any further processing for purposes other than those specified below will not take place. You can retrieve this information from this website at any time.

III.  Data transmission security

We use a secure data transmission method by means of SSL/TLS encryption. This means that the data you enter into a form on our website when contacting us or subscribing to newsletters is protected. To do this, pay special attention to the "s" in the "http(s)" of the URL (the Internet address you enter). This is an indication that your input is secure on the Internet. Additional information: The web browser you use contains detailed explanations about security procedures and encryption under the help notes.

IV.  Processing of personal data

The processing of your personal data takes place in the following cases:

1.   Data transmission and logging for internal and statistical purposes (log files)

For technical reasons, your Internet browser automatically transmits data to our web server when you access our website. These include the date and time of access, URL of the referring website, file retrieved, amount of data sent, browser type and version, operating system and your IP address. This data is stored separately from other data that you enter when using our offer. It is not possible for us to assign this data to a specific person. This data is evaluated for statistical purposes and then deleted.

2.    Cookies

This website uses cookies. Website cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific information related to the device on the user's access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.B. storage of login data). On the other hand, they serve to record statistical data on website use and to be able to analyse them for the purpose of improving the offer.

Users can determine the use of cookies via the Consent Management Tool . Most browsers also have an option that restricts or completely prevents the storage of cookies. However, it should be noted that the use and in particular the ease of use without cookies are restricted.

3.     Contact forms

You have the option of sending us an inquiry via the contact form. The data from the contact form is processed in our CMS (Content Management System, which is a software for creating, editing and organizing content) and, if necessary, forwarded to the responsible contact person. SSL encryption protects the data you enter in the contact form. If you do not wish to provide the data in the contact form, you can also send us an e-mail.

V.  Data subjects and categories of data

Affected are customers, visitors to the website, suppliers and business partners. Surname, first name, (e-mail) address (if applicable) and IP address are recorded. However, only to the extent described under purpose and data minimization.

VI.  Legal basis

The legal basis for the storage, processing and disclosure of your data is, on the one hand, your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (e.g. in the case of newsletters), a balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, which in the balancing of interests did not result in a restriction of your rights and freedoms (e.g. due to our interest in the use of analytical tools, with the help of which we measure the success of our website and optimize surfing on the site, or e.g. when answering your inquiries via the contact form) or according to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR or, in the case of a contractual relationship, the contract with you.

VII.        Storage period / deletion of data

We store data for as long as this is required by law or is necessary to provide the service you have requested or has been specified in a corresponding consent. If the purpose ceases to apply and there is also no legal retention period, the corresponding personal data will be deleted.

VIII.   Recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data may be disclosed 

Your data will be passed on to our supplier for the purpose of order processing. Data will be passed on to the postal sender for the purpose of dispatching the order. In addition, data will be forwarded to the corresponding payment service for the purpose of payment. If you subscribe to a newsletter from us, our service provider will receive your e-mail address for the purpose of dispatch. If service providers come into contact with personal data of our customers, this usually takes place within the framework of a so-called order processing of personal data. This is expressly provided for by law. In this case, DT Data Tower remains responsible for the protection of your data - if applicable, in addition to the service processor. The service provider works exclusively in accordance with our instructions, which we ensure through strict contractual regulations, through technical and organizational measures, and through supplementary controls.

DT Data Tower uses service providers as processors. These are DT Data Tower group companies as well as service providers in the categories of IT services (e.g., for technical-administrative tasks and for usage analysis), telecommunications, consulting and advisory services, and sales and marketing.

IX.    Data subject rights

You have the possibility and the right to contact the controller (see above) at any time and request information about how your data is processed. In addition, you have the right to have your data corrected and deleted. You have the right to restrict processing, i.e., to allow only partial information to be processed. In addition, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time if the processing is based on a legitimate interest. The controller will then check to what extent the non-processing conflicts with legal disclosure and processing obligations and inform you accordingly. You have a right to data portability, i.e., that we hand over your personal data to you in machine-readable form in a common format determined by us upon request.

In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority for data protection responsible for your federal state if you are of the opinion that we are not handling your personal data properly and in accordance with this declaration.

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by your revocation. You can send a revocation by e-mail to gesa.steidel@datatower.org or by post to the following address:

DT Data Tower GmbH

Schützenstr. 42

82054 Sauerlach

Germany

If you receive advertising from us, you also have the right to object to no longer receiving advertising from us at any time.

You can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of our company site (including your IP address) to the respective social network as well as the processing of this data by the respective social network by adjusting your cookie settings before calling up our company site on the social networks.
