If con­sent has been reques­ted, pro­cessing will be car­ried out exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Sec­tion 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far as the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or access to inform­a­tion on the user’s device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. Con­sent can be revoked at any time.

Order processing

We have con­cluded a data pro­cessing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-men­tioned ser­vice. This is a con­tract required by data pro­tec­tion law, which guar­an­tees that the per­son­al data of our web­site vis­it­ors will only be pro­cessed accord­ing to our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The oper­at­ors of these web­sites take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very ser­i­ously. We treat your per­son­al data con­fid­en­tially and in accord­ance with the stat­utory data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this pri­vacy policy.

When you use this web­site, vari­ous per­son­al data is col­lec­ted. Per­son­al data is data that can be used to identi­fy you per­son­ally. This pri­vacy policy explains what data we col­lect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what pur­pose.

We would like to point out that data trans­mis­sion over the Inter­net (e.g., when com­mu­nic­at­ing via email) may be sub­ject to secur­ity gaps. Com­plete pro­tec­tion of data from access by third parties is not pos­sible.

Note on the responsible body

The respons­ible body for data pro­cessing on this web­site is:

MACONAS Con­sult­ing GmbH
Alte Post­straße 76
85598 Bald­ham

Phone: +49 172 358 53 83
Email: info@maconas.de

The respons­ible body is the nat­ur­al or leg­al per­son who alone or jointly with oth­ers decides on the pur­poses and means of pro­cessing per­son­al data (e.g. names, e‑mail addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more spe­cif­ic stor­age peri­od is spe­cified in this pri­vacy policy, your per­son­al data will remain with us until the pur­pose for data pro­cessing no longer applies. If you make a legit­im­ate request for dele­tion or revoke your con­sent to data pro­cessing, your data will be deleted unless we have oth­er leg­ally per­miss­ible reas­ons for stor­ing your per­son­al data (e.g., reten­tion peri­ods under tax or com­mer­cial law); in the lat­ter case, dele­tion will occur once these reas­ons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have con­sen­ted to data pro­cessing, we will pro­cess your per­son­al data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR if spe­cial cat­egor­ies of data are pro­cessed pur­su­ant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express con­sent to the trans­fer of per­son­al data to third coun­tries, data pro­cessing will also be car­ried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have con­sen­ted to the stor­age of cook­ies or to access inform­a­tion on your device (e.g. via device fin­ger­print­ing), data pro­cessing will also be car­ried out on the basis of Sec­tion 25 (1) TDDDG. Con­sent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to ful­fill the con­tract or to carry out pre-con­trac­tu­al meas­ures, we will pro­cess your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Fur­ther­more, if your data is required to ful­fill a leg­al oblig­a­tion, we will pro­cess it on the basis of Art. 6 (1) © GDPR. Data pro­cessing may also be based on our legit­im­ate interest pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The rel­ev­ant leg­al bases in each indi­vidu­al case are explained in the fol­low­ing para­graphs of this pri­vacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our busi­ness activ­it­ies, we work with vari­ous extern­al parties. In some cases, this also requires the trans­fer of per­son­al data to these extern­al parties. We only pass on per­son­al data to extern­al parties if this is neces­sary to ful­fill a con­tract, if we are leg­ally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax author­it­ies), if we have a legit­im­ate interest in passing on the data pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if anoth­er leg­al basis per­mits the data trans­fer. When using con­tract pro­cessors, we only pass on our cus­tom­ers‘ per­son­al data on the basis of a val­id con­tract for order pro­cessing. In the case of joint pro­cessing, a con­tract for joint pro­cessing is con­cluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data pro­cessing oper­a­tions are only pos­sible with your express con­sent. You can revoke your con­sent at any time. The leg­al­ity of the data pro­cessing car­ried out up to the time of revoc­a­tion remains unaf­fected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Article 21 GDPR)

If data pro­cessing is based on Art­icle 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data at any time for reas­ons related to 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 pri­vacy policy. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your per­son­al data is pro­cessed for dir­ect mar­ket­ing pur­poses, you have the right to object at any time to the pro­cessing of per­son­al data con­cern­ing you for such mar­ket­ing pur­poses; this also applies to pro­fil­ing inso­far as it is asso­ci­ated with such dir­ect mar­ket­ing. If you object, your per­son­al data will sub­sequently no longer be used for dir­ect mar­ket­ing pur­poses (objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of viol­a­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects have the right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vis­ory author­ity, in par­tic­u­lar in the Mem­ber State of their habitu­al res­id­ence, place of work, or place of the alleged viol­a­tion. This right of com­plaint is without pre­ju­dice to oth­er admin­is­trat­ive or judi­cial rem­ed­ies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we pro­cess auto­mat­ic­ally based on your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract handed over to you or to a third party in a com­mon, machine-read­able format. If you request the dir­ect trans­fer of the data to anoth­er con­trol­ler, this will only be done if tech­nic­ally feas­ible.

Information, correction and deletion

With­in the scope of applic­able law, you have the right at any time to obtain free inform­a­tion about your stored per­son­al data, its ori­gin and recip­i­ent, and the pur­pose of data pro­cessing, as well as the right to have this data cor­rec­ted or deleted. You can con­tact us at any time with any ques­tions about this or oth­er issues relat­ing to per­son­al data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restric­tion of the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data. You can con­tact us at any time to do so. The right to restric­tion of pro­cessing exists in the fol­low­ing cases:

• If you dis­pute the accur­acy of your per­son­al data stored by us, we gen­er­ally need time to veri­fy this. You have the right to request that the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data be restric­ted while we veri­fy your claim.
• If the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data was/is unlaw­ful, you can request the restric­tion of data pro­cessing instead of dele­tion.
• If we no longer need your per­son­al data, but you require it to exer­cise, defend or assert leg­al claims, you have the right to request that the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data be restric­ted instead of deleted.
• If you have lodged an objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests must be weighed against ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests pre­vail, you have the right to request that the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data be restric­ted.

If you have restric­ted the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data, this data may – with the excep­tion of its stor­age – only be pro­cessed with your con­sent or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defense of leg­al claims or to pro­tect the rights of anoth­er nat­ur­al or leg­al per­son or for reas­ons of import­ant pub­lic interest of the European Uni­on or a Mem­ber State.

SSL or TLS encryption

For secur­ity reas­ons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fid­en­tial con­tent, such as orders or inquir­ies that you send to us as the site oper­at­or, this site uses SSL or TLS encryp­tion. You can recog­nize an encryp­ted con­nec­tion by the browser’s address line chan­ging from ​„http://“ to ​„https://“ and by the lock sym­bol in your browser’s address bar.

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

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our web­site uses so-called ​„cook­ies.“ Cook­ies are small data pack­ets and do not cause any dam­age to your device. They are stored either tem­por­ar­ily for the dur­a­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion cook­ies) or per­man­ently (per­man­ent cook­ies) on your device. Ses­sion cook­ies are auto­mat­ic­ally deleted after your vis­it. Per­man­ent cook­ies remain stored on your device until you delete them your­self or they are auto­mat­ic­ally deleted by your web browser.

Cook­ies can ori­gin­ate from us (first-party cook­ies) or from third-party com­pan­ies (so-called third-party cook­ies). Third-party cook­ies enable the integ­ra­tion of cer­tain third-party ser­vices with­in web­sites (e.g., cook­ies for pro­cessing pay­ment ser­vices).

Cook­ies serve vari­ous func­tions. Many cook­ies are tech­nic­ally neces­sary, as cer­tain web­site fea­tures would not work without them (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or dis­play­ing videos). Oth­er cook­ies can be used to eval­u­ate user beha­vi­or or for advert­ising pur­poses.

Cook­ies that are required to carry out elec­tron­ic com­mu­nic­a­tion, to provide cer­tain func­tions you have reques­ted (e.g. for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or to optim­ize the web­site (e.g. cook­ies to meas­ure the web audi­ence) (neces­sary cook­ies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless anoth­er leg­al basis is spe­cified. The web­site oper­at­or has a legit­im­ate interest in stor­ing neces­sary cook­ies for the tech­nic­ally error-free and optim­ized pro­vi­sion of its ser­vices. If con­sent to the stor­age of cook­ies and sim­il­ar recog­ni­tion tech­no­lo­gies has been reques­ted, pro­cessing will take place exclus­ively on the basis of this con­sent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Sec­tion 25 (1) TDDDG); this con­sent can be revoked at any time.

You can con­fig­ure your browser to inform you about the use of cook­ies and to only accept cook­ies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude cook­ies for spe­cif­ic cases or in gen­er­al, and to auto­mat­ic­ally delete cook­ies when you close your browser. Dis­abling cook­ies may lim­it the func­tion­al­ity of this web­site.

Consent with compliance

Our web­site uses Complianz’s con­sent tech­no­logy to obtain your con­sent to the stor­age of cer­tain cook­ies on your device or to the use of cer­tain tech­no­lo­gies and to doc­u­ment this con­sent in com­pli­ance with data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions. The pro­vider of this tech­no­logy is Com­pli­anz B.V., Kal­mar­weg 14–5, 9723 JG Gronin­gen, Neth­er­lands (here­in­after ​„Com­pli­anz“).

Com­pli­anz is hos­ted on our serv­ers, so no con­nec­tion is estab­lished to the serv­ers of Complianz’s pro­vider. Com­pli­anz stores a cook­ie in your browser to assign the con­sent you have gran­ted or revoked to you. The data col­lec­ted in this way will be stored until you request dele­tion, delete the Com­pli­anz cook­ie your­self, or the pur­pose for stor­ing the data no longer applies. Man­dat­ory stat­utory reten­tion peri­ods remain unaf­fected.

Com­pli­anz is used to obtain the leg­ally required con­sent for the use of cook­ies. The leg­al basis for this is Art. 6 (1) © GDPR.

This web­site uses the ana­lys­is tool WP Stat­ist­ics to stat­ist­ic­ally eval­u­ate vis­it­or access. The pro­vider is Ver­on­alabs, Tatari 64, 10134, Tallinn, Esto­nia (https://veronalabs.com).

WP Stat­ist­ics allows us to ana­lyze the use of our web­site. WP Stat­ist­ics records, among oth­er things, log files (IP address, refer­rer, browser used, user ori­gin, search engine used) and actions per­formed by web­site vis­it­ors on the site (e.g., clicks and views).

The data col­lec­ted with WP Stat­ist­ics is stored exclus­ively on our own serv­er.

This ana­lys­is tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legit­im­ate interest in the anonym­ized ana­lys­is of user beha­vi­or in order to optim­ize both our web­site and our advert­ising. If cor­res­pond­ing con­sent has been reques­ted, pro­cessing will be car­ried out exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Sec­tion 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far as the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or access to inform­a­tion on the user’s device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. Con­sent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization
