The data controller is a physical or legal person who decides on the goals and methods of processing personal data, alone or in conjunction with others (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Withdrawing your consent to the processing of your data

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent, however, you can revoke your consent at any time. To do this, just send us a simple email. Your revocation request will not apply to data processed prior to the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to personal data processed for direct marketing purposes (Article 21 GDPR)

If the data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. Once you lodge an objection, we will no longer process your relevant personal unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedom, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection on the basis of Article 21 (1) GDPR). Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising, including profiling to the extent to which it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for purposes of direct marketing (objection on the basis of Article 21 (2) GDPR). 

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority1

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace or place of presumed infringement. The right of appeal shall be without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to request data portability

You have the right to have data which we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this shall only take place to the extent that is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as 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 bar.

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

Disclosure, blocking, deletion and correction

As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided free of charge with information at any time about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, made inaccessible or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the addresses given in our Legal Notice if you have further questions on the topic of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time at the address stated on our Legal Notice page. The right to restriction of processing is given in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we will usually need some time to verify this. During the period of verification, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted. If the processing of your personal data has taken/is taking place unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of data deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, both your and our interests must be weighed up. Until it has been ascertained whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted. Where processing of the personal data that concerns you has been restricted, such data – apart from being stored – may be processed only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on the grounds of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of the website Legal Notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational material not expressly requested. The website operator expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event that unsolicited marketing material (for example, spam emails) is received.

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Internet web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognise your browser when you next visit the site. You can set your browser so that you are informed whenever a cookie is set and you can choose on a case-by-case basis whether to allow this. You can also set up our browser to prohibit the setting of cookies in general and/or to delete cookies automatically when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies which are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions as desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. The website owner has a legitimate interest in the storing of cookies to the technically correct and optimised delivery of their services. Should any other cookies (such as those used to analyse your surfing behaviour) also be stored, they will be treated separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in “server log files” which your

browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

– Browser type and browser version

– Operating system

-Referrer URL

– Host name of the accessing computer

We will never share this data without your permission. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) b GDPR, provided your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual arrangements. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the requests addressed to us. We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until its deletion is requested, your consent for storage is revoked, or the purpose for its storage is no longer applicable (e.g. after your request has been fully dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected.

Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to support the uniform display of fonts. Google fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google services is established.

Google Analytics

Once you confirm your consent, Google Analytics – a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”) – will be used on this website. The use includes the “UniversalAnalytics” operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyse a user’s activities across devices. This data protection notice is made available by www.intersoft-consulting.de.

Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’, which are text files stored on your computer that enable the analysis of your usage of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your usage will generally be sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or other states party to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented with IP anonymisation to ensure an anonymised collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking). The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google. For more information on terms of use and data protection, visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=gb.
