Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Derksen Lichttechnik GmbH attaches great importance to data protection. The use of the Internet pages of the Derksen Lichttechnik GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject. You have the right not to consent and to modify or withdraw your consent at a later stage.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be carried out in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this privacy statement, our enterprise would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, Derksen Lichttechnik GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about us as controllers of your data
II. The rights of users and data subjects
III. Information about the data processing

 

I. Information about us as controller of your data

The party responsible for this website (the “controller”) for purposes of data protection law is:

Derksen Lichttechnik GmbH
Johannes-Rau-Allee 4
45889 Gelsenkirchen
Germany

Telephone: +49 209 980700

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
  • to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.

 

III. Information about the data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.

Contact Forms and Emails

If you contact us via email or the contact form, the data you provide will be used for the purpose of processing your request. We must have this data in order to process and answer your inquiry; otherwise we will not be able to answer it in full or at all. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once we have fully answered your inquiry and there is no further legal obligation to store your data, such as if an order or contract resulted therefrom.

Contract processing

The data transmitted by you for the purpose of purchasing our goods and/or services will be processed by us for the purpose of processing the contract and is necessary to this extent. Conclusion and processing of the contract are not possible without the provision of your data. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

We delete the data once the contract has been fully processed, but must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law. As part of the contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of the goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes. The legal basis for the transfer of data is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

Server Log Files

For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to our internet service provider will be collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the type and version of your browser, operating system, the website from which you came (referrer), the webpages on our site visited as well as the date and time of your visit. The IP addresses of the users are anonymised in the log files, so that it is impossible to locate them and relate them directly to a person.

The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any other of your data. The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website. Server log files are kept for a maximum of 8 weeks, unless continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

Google Analytics 4

Purpose: Google Analytics 4 is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Google Analytics 4 collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (referrer), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the costs and benefits of internet advertising. In Google Analytics 4, IP addresses are neither logged nor stored, so that localisation and the establishment of a direct personal reference are impossible.
