Data protection

Data protection – simple and compact:

The Data protection is about protecting you from the misuse of your data.

When you visit a website, data flows that the owner of the website knows belongs to you. This data is called personal data. This is always the case, including with us. We want to (and have to) explain to you what exactly happens. Since this can be quite a long text, even with only a few data, here is the most important information in a nutshell:

Who is responsible for data processing?

That’s us: O.E.M. Tec GmbH, Münchener Straße 17, 06796 Sandersdorf-Brehna

Is there a data protection officer I can contact?

Yes, there is one. His name is Henning Welz and you can reach him at welz@gdsm.de or at our postal address with the addition “the data protection officer”.

Who is the competent supervisory authority?

State Commissioner for Data Protection in Saxony-Anhalt
Otto-von-Guericke-Straße 34a
39104 Magdeburg
Postal address: PO Box 1947, 39009 Magdeburg

What rights do I have in relation to the processing of my data?

You have the following rights:

  • Right to information.
  • Right to rectification.
  • Right to erasure.
  • Right to restriction of processing.
  • Right to object.
  • Right to data portability.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

If you have any questions about exercising these rights, you are welcome to contact our data protection officer.

What data are we actually talking about?

First of all, there is the technical data that is always collected when you visit a website: IP address, date and time, type of request, amount of data transferred, browser type, operating system, language, requesting website. As I said, this is always the case.

In addition, we also use small pieces of information that we store on your computer to make it easier for you to use the site. They are called cookies. This is usually the case and must be so that you can use our website comfortably. However, you can also prevent it (by setting it in your browser). In that case, however, the site will not function as well.

When you enter data on our website, for example to create an account, subscribe to a newsletter or contact us, we use the data exclusively for the purpose in question.

We do not need consent for any of these operations (we call them “processing operations”). If we intend to do something else with the data, then we will ask you for consent.

We ask for such consent at the very beginning, right after you open the page, in a so-called consent tool. In this tool, you can also find out exactly which data we need for which purpose, by which technology they are collected and how long we store them. By changing the settings in this consent tool, you can revoke any consent you have given at any time.

A summary of the settings you have made in the Consent Tool and the option to change them can be found in the section “3. Processing based on your consent”.

As a general rule, we store all data for as long as we need it for the respective purpose and only longer if we are legally required to do so. If an exact time period can be specified, you will find it in the following text.

Basically, you have now understood what it is all about. For more detailed and comprehensive information, please read on:

Data protection – not quite as simple and longer, but quite accurate

1. Information on the collection of personal data

Contact

When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, name and telephone number, if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.

2.  Collection of personal data by and for us when visiting our website

1.2.1. Data processed in principle

In the case of purely informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security on the basis of 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO):

      • IP address
      • Date and time of the request
      • Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
      • Content of the request (specific page)
      • Access status/HTTP status code
      • Amount of data transferred in each case
      • Website from which the request came
      • Browser
      • Operating system and its interface
      • Language and version of the browser software.

 

Processing based on your consent

As already mentioned, at the beginning, when you accessed our website for the first time, we asked you for your consent to use various services using a so-called consent tool. These can be, for example, services that provide certain fonts for our website, enable you to navigate to us or connect to social media channels or enable us to analyse website activity.

The services for which we ask for your consent are subject to change. What they all have in common is that we will only use them if we have your consent and will stop using them immediately if you withdraw that consent. This so-called revocation extends to the future, data already collected will not be deleted but processed within the framework of the given consent.

All services used within the scope of the given consent are used on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG as well as within the scope of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Currently, we only use services that do not require your consent, as they are absolutely necessary for the function of the website. If this should change in the future, you will find a table here with all the services to which you have consented.
