VOLL:KONTAKT UG & Co.KG
Gärtnerstraße 18
20253 Hamburg
SCOPE OF APPLICATION
This privacy policy provides users with information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider.
The legal framework for data protection is provided by the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).
COLLECTION OF GENERAL INFORMATION
Each time this website is accessed, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
The information collected includes: Name of the website, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our website) and the IP address.
Without this data, it would not be technically possible in some cases to deliver and display the content of the website. In this respect, the collection of data is absolutely necessary. We also use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. It helps us to optimise our offering and technology. We also reserve the right to check the log files retrospectively if we suspect illegal use of our website.
CONTACT FORM
If you contact us via the online form or by e-mail, we will save the information you provide in order to answer your enquiry and ask any follow-up questions.
INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT
Our offering sometimes includes content, services and benefits from other providers. This includes, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube and graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be called up and displayed in the user’s browser, the transmission of the IP address is mandatory. The providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) therefore recognise the IP address of the respective user.
Even if we endeavour to only use third-party providers who only need the IP address to be able to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process is used for statistical purposes, among other things. If we are aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users accordingly.
COOKIES
This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer by the server. They contain information about your browser, IP address, operating system and Internet connection. We do not pass this data on to third parties or link it to personal data without your consent.
Cookies fulfil two main tasks. They help us to make it easier for you to navigate through our website and enable the website to be displayed correctly. They are not used to introduce viruses or start programmes.
Users have the option of accessing our website without cookies. To do this, the corresponding settings must be changed in the browser. Please use your browser’s help function to find out how to deactivate cookies. However, we would like to point out that this may impair some of the functions of this website and limit the ease of use. The websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ (Europe) allow you to manage online ad cookies.
We use the “Real Cookie Banner” consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at <a href=”https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank”>https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/</a>.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consent.
FACEBOOK SOCIAL PLUG-IN
We integrate plug-ins from the social network Facebook (address: 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) on our websites. You can recognise the plug-ins – you can find an overview here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/Plug-ins/ – by the Like button or the Facebook logo.
If you visit one of our websites with a Facebook plug-in, a direct connection to Facebook is established. We have no influence on the type and scope of data that is collected, stored and processed by Facebook. We can only inform you to the best of our knowledge.
Facebook is informed via the plug-in that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website. This also applies to users who are not registered with Facebook. In this case, there is a possibility that Facebook will store the IP address.
If you are a member of Facebook and logged in, accessing a website with a Facebook plug-in can be clearly assigned to your Facebook user account. In addition, the plug-ins transmit all interactions, for example when you use the Like button or leave a comment.
To prevent Facebook from storing data about you, please log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also block the plug-ins with add-ons for your browser (e.g. “Facebook Blocker”).
Information on the data protection provisions, the purpose and scope of data collection and data processing as well as the setting options for protecting your privacy on Facebook can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php.
DATA MINIMISATION
In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary or prescribed by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose of the information collected no longer applies or the storage period ends, we block or delete the data.
YOUR RIGHTS TO INFORMATION, RECTIFICATION, BLOCKING, ERASURE AND OBJECTION
You have the right to request information about the personal data stored by us free of charge and/or to request that it be corrected, blocked or deleted. Exceptions: Data storage is required for business transactions or the data is subject to statutory retention obligations.
For these purposes, please contact our data protection officer (contact details: at the end of the privacy policy).
In order to be able to take a data lock into account at any time, it is necessary to keep the data in a lock file for control purposes. If there is no legal archiving obligation, you can also request the deletion of the data. Otherwise, we will block the data if you so wish.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
In order to ensure that our privacy policy always complies with the current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies in the event that the privacy policy has to be adapted due to new or revised services, for example new services. The new privacy policy will then apply the next time you visit our website.
