Data protection

Privacy policy

We are very pleased to see your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of wolpersweb.de. Use of the wolpersweb.de websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use certain services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to wolpersweb.de. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed by means of this privacy policy about their rights.

wolpersweb.de has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures as the controller to ensure the most complete protection of the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions inherently involve security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is at the discretion of any affected person to submit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of wolpersweb.de is based on the terms used by the European directive and regulation makers when drafting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:

• a) Personal data

  Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter „data subject“). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assigning them to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more specific characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

• b) affected person

  Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller for the purposes of processing.

• c) Processing

  Processing is any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the help of automated procedures on personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

• d) Restriction of processing

  Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

• e) Profiling

  Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using that personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects related to that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or change of residence.

• f) Pseudonymization

  Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in a manner in which the personal data can no longer be associated with a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

• g) Responsible or responsible for the processing

  The controller or the person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union law or the law of the Member States.

• h) Contract processor

  Data processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

• i) Recipients

  Recipients are a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not that person is a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation order under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.

• j) Third party

  Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who are under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor who are authorized to process the personal data.

• k) Consent

  Consent is any freely given, informed and unambiguous expression of will by the data subject for the specific case, in the form of a declaration or other unequivocal confirmatory act, by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of the personal data concerning him or her.

2. Name and address of the person responsible for processing

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions with data protection-related character is:

3. Cookies

The websites of wolpersweb.de use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that enables websites and servers to be associated with the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, wolpersweb.de can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user’s needs. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make using our website easier for the users. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data again every time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items a customer has added to the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The affected person can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate settings in the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the placement of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been placed can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the affected person disables the placement of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of wolpersweb.de collects a series of general data and information with every call to the website by an affected person or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following (1) types of browser used and versions, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet Service Provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, wolpersweb.de does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. These information are, however, required in order to (1) provide the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide the law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, these anonymized collected data and information are used by wolpersweb.de to, on the one hand, statistically analyze them and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by an affected person.

5. Contact option via the website

The wolpersweb.de website contains information required by law to enable quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be automatically stored. Personal data provided voluntarily by a data subject to the controller for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

6. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European Directive and Regulation Legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer exists or a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation-maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

7. Rights of the data subject

• a) Right to confirmation

  Every data subject has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Legislator to request confirmation from the controller of whether personal data concerning them are being processed.

The data protection officer of wolpersweb.de or another employee will arrange for the request to be complied with immediately.

  If the personal data have been made public by wolpersweb.de and our company, as the controller, is required by Article 17(1) of the GDPR to delete the personal data, wolpersweb.de will, taking into account available technology and the implementation costs, take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The data protection officer of wolpersweb.de or another employee will arrange the necessary steps in individual cases.

• e) Right to restriction of processing

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Legislator to request the restriction of the processing from the controller if one of the following conditions is met:

  If one of the above-mentioned conditions is met and an affected person wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at wolpersweb.de, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of wolpersweb.de or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.

• f) Right to data portability

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Legislator to obtain the personal data concerning them that have been provided by the data subject to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority entrusted to the controller.

  Furthermore, the data subject has the right, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, to obtain that the personal data are transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

  To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the data protection officer appointed by wolpersweb.de or another employee.

• g) Right to object

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Legislator to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of their personal data that takes place pursuant to Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

  wolpersweb.de will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

  If wolpersweb.de processes personal data to carry out direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to wolpersweb.de processing for direct marketing purposes, wolpersweb.de will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

  Furthermore, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them that takes place at wolpersweb.de 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 carried out in the public interest.

  To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer of wolpersweb.de directly or another employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right of objection in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, using automated procedures that use technical specifications.

• h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is made with the express consent of the data subject.

  If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the express consent of the data subject, wolpersweb.de shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to have a person acting on behalf of the controller intervene, to present one’s own point of view, and to contest the decision.

  If the affected person wishes to exercise their right to revoke a consent, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

8. Data protection regulations regarding the use and use of Facebook

The person responsible for processing has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social gathering place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.

The operator of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For the processing of personal data, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, if the data subject lives outside the USA or Canada.

With every call to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller responsible for processing and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A comprehensive overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE accessed here. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Facebook, Facebook recognizes with every call-up of our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the „Like“ button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Through the Facebook component, Facebook receives information that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish such transmission of this information to Facebook to take place, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available for https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/ download, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings that Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that allow the data transmission to Facebook to be suppressed. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

9. Data protection regulations regarding the use and processing of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The Data Controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person concerned came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is predominantly used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit ratio of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the „_gat._anonymizeIp“ add-on for web analytics via Google Analytics. This add-on shortens and anonymizes the Internet connection IP address of the data subject by Google when accessing our websites from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the visitor flows on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google enables an analysis of the use of our website. With every call to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis purposes. As part of this technical procedure, Google receives personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission payments.

Through the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. With each visit to our websites, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may, under certain circumstances, disclose this personal data collected through the technical method to third parties.

The affected person can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time, as already described above, by making an appropriate setting in the Internet browser used. In this way, they can permanently object to the placement of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the affected person. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the affected person has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. To do this, the affected person must https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout download and install a browser add-on via the link. This browser add-on communicates to Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites are to be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is subsequently deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is removed or deactivated by the data subject or by another person who is under their control, the possibility exists of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and. Google Analytics is explained in https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ more detail under this link.

10. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, then the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, then the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties as a result. In such a case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR could be carried out. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases would be based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, he held the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

11. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business in the interests of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

12. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

13. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual arrangements (e.g. information about the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for an affected person to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the affected person is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the affected person not being concluded. Before personal data is provided by the affected person, the affected person must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

14. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not resort to automatic decision-making or profiling.
