2. Data categories, purposes and legal basis of data processing

We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as well as all other applicable legal provisions. The collection and processing of data is determined by the service or information you have chosen.

The specific data collection and processing can be found in the individual processing operations (Part B) as well as in the respective provisions of our contractual documents.

3. Data recipients

We only transfer your personal data to third parties in the following cases:

• The transfer takes place in compliance with a legal requirement under which we are obliged to report or pass on the data.
• The transfer of data takes place to external companies that act as order processors on our behalf or that act on our behalf (this concerns, for example, courier and logistics companies, call centres, external computer centres, EDP and IT applications, website management, auditing services, credit institutions, data disposal, etc.).
• The transmission of data to third parties takes place on the basis of your consent.
• Data is transferred for the purpose of processing a contractual relationship with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR (e.g. to an affiliated company within the group (cf. item 2) or a subcontractor or to a logistics company).
• The transfer of data to subsidiaries or affiliated companies also takes place to fulfil legal obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests. This may involve economic, administrative or other internal business purposes; this only applies insofar as your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, do not prevail.
• The data is transmitted to credit agencies to obtain credit information.
• The data is transferred for the purpose of checking and asserting claims (e.g. debt collection agencies, legal advisors).
• The data is transferred in order to plan, prepare and/or implement a (partial) sale of the company or a merger (or similar processes such as a takeover in the context of liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, etc.) with another company.

4. Deletion of data and duration of storage

In principle, we process and store your data only for the duration of our business relationship, including the initiation and execution of the contract as well as the statutory retention periods.

If the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations and rights, it is regularly deleted, unless its – temporary – further processing is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes listed above for an overriding legitimate interest.

Insofar as individual processing of personal data requires other deletion periods, these are mentioned in the description of the individual processing operations under section B.

5. Processing of your data in a third country

Data is only transferred to bodies in third countries (states outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) if it is necessary for the execution of an order/contract from or with you, if it is required by law (e.g. reporting obligations under tax law), if appropriate data protection levels exist or if you have given us your consent.

The processing of your data in a third country may also be carried out in connection with the involvement of service providers as part of commissioned processing. If there is no EU Commission decision on an adequate level of data protection for the country in question, we will ensure through appropriate contracts that your rights and freedoms are adequately protected and guaranteed. For more detailed information, please refer to the individual descriptions of the processing operations under section B.

Information on the appropriate or adequate safeguards and on the possibility of obtaining a copy from you can be obtained from the Data Protection Officer upon request.

6. Automated decisions in individual cases / profiling

We do not use procedures for automated decision-making / profiling that have a legal effect on you or significantly affect you in a similar way.

7. Obligation to provide data

You only need to provide the data that is necessary for the use of the website and its functions or for the establishment and execution of a business relationship or for a pre-contractual relationship with us or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, however, we will not be able to provide you with our website properly and securely, answer your enquiries to us properly or conclude or execute a contract with you. This may also refer to data that is required later.

8. Your rights as a data subject

Under the statutory conditions, you have the following rights as a data subject, which you can assert against us:

• Right of access: You have the right at any time to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you; if this is the case, you are also entitled under Art. 15 GDPR to request information about this personal data and certain further information (including the purposes of the processing, categories of personal data, categories of recipients, planned storage period, the origin of the data, the use of automated decision-making and, in the case of a transfer to a third country, the appropriate safeguards) and to receive a copy of your data.

• Right to rectification: You have the right, in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to request that we rectify the personal data stored about you if it is inaccurate or incorrect.

• Right to erasure: You have the right, under the conditions set out in Art. 17 GDPR, to request that we erase personal data concerning you without undue delay. The right to erasure does not apply, among other things, if the processing of personal data is necessary for (i) exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, (ii) for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention requirements) or (iii) for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

• Right to restriction of processing: You are entitled, under the conditions of Art. 18 GDPR, to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data

• Right to data portability: You are entitled, under the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR, to demand that we provide you with the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

• Right of withdrawal: You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future.

• Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data under the conditions set out in Art. 21 GDPR, so that we are obliged to stop processing your personal data. The right to object exists only within the limits set out in Art. 21 GDPR. Furthermore, our interests may conflict with a termination of the processing, so that we are entitled to process your personal data despite your objection.

• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: You have the right, under the conditions laid down in Article 77 of the GDPR, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

  A list of the respective data protection supervisory authorities and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/anschriften_table.html

  The supervisory authority responsible for us is:
  
  North Rhine-Westphalia Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
  Kavalleriestr. 2-4
  40213 Düsseldorf
  Deutschland
  Telephone: 0211/38424-0
  Fax: 0211/38424-999
  E-Mail: poststelle@ldi.nrw

However, we recommend that you always address a complaint to our data protection officer first.

Your requests to exercise your rights should, if possible, be addressed in writing or electronically to the address given in point 1 above or directly to our data protection officer.

9. Information on the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing based on a balance of interests) or on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR (data processing in the public interest), you have the right to object to the processing at any time.

We will then in any case no longer process the personal data for the purposes of direct marketing or related profiling and furthermore not for other purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation.

If possible, you should send your objection to the following contact address:

datenschutz@remondis-recycling.de

However, we recommend that you always address a complaint to our data protection officer first.

Wherever possible, requests to exercise your rights should be addressed in writing or by email to the address given in section 1 above or directly to our data protection officer.

10. Changes

We reserve the right to amend this data protection information at any time (e.g. in the event of changes in data processing or the legal framework). Any changes will be announced by publishing the amended data protection information on the website. Unless otherwise specified, such changes will take effect immediately. Therefore, please check this data protection information regularly to view the most current version.

B. Individual processing

1. Logging

When using the website, certain connection data and data provided by your Internet browser are temporarily stored. The following data is logged for the operation of the website:

• IP address of the retrieving computer
• Operating system of the retrieving computer
• Browser version of the retrieving computer
• Name of the retrieved file
• Date and time of retrieval
• Amount of data transferred
• Referring URL
• Connection logging

The logging of data and its processing in log files is technically essential for the proper and secure operation of the website. The legal basis for the (initial) storage and/or reading of data from your end device is therefore § 25 para. 2 no. 1 TDDDG. If automatically transmitted data (e.g. the public IP address of your terminal device) is processed, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR, provided that you visit our website for the purpose of executing a contract with you or for pre-contractual measures (e.g. information about our products, inquiries), as well as in the context of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the proper and secure provision of the website and our online services.

The log file information is stored anonymously after the session has ended.

2. Contact form/ requests for information

In the interest of communication with customers and interested parties, we offer a contact form on our website where you can request information about our products or contact us in general. In addition to the voluntary information and the content of your message, we require the following information from you:

Company
Form of address
Last name
Email address

We need this information to process your request, to contact you correctly and to send you an answer. Requests received via the contact form are stored as emails and regularly checked to see whether data can be deleted. Should data no longer be required in the context of a relationship with a customer or interested party, or should the customer have a contrary interest, we will delete the data concerned not later than after 180 days, provided that this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Insofar as contact is made to initiate contractual relations, the legal basis is Art. 6 para.1 lit. b) GDPR.

Right of objection in the event of use in the context of a contract

If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the conclusion of a contract and the provision of our products and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products from our range by e-mail. You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using the link provided in the newsletter e-mail, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

3. Matomo

If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the conclusion of a contract and the provision of our products and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products from our range by e-mail. You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using the link provided in the newsletter e-mail, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

The purpose of the processing is the statistical analysis of user behaviour to optimise the functionality of our websites. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement of our website.

The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Compliance with legal requirements

We also process your data to comply with legal requirements. We are subject to a variety of legal obligations. Primarily, these are legal requirements (such as those arising from commercial and tax laws), but also, where applicable, other official requirements. These include, in particular, the fulfillment of tax control and reporting obligations, as well as archiving and documentation obligations.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 17 (3) (b) GDPR and Article 6 (1) (1) (c) GDPR.

5. Law enforcement and legal defense

We may also process your personal data in order to assert our rights and to enforce our legal claims and/or to defend ourselves against legal claims and/or insofar as this is necessary to prevent or prosecute criminal offenses.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 17 (3) (e) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in enforcing and defending our rights.

6. Company sale, mergers, etc.

We may also process your personal data processed through the websites in order to carry out a (partial) company sale or a merger (or similar transactions such as a takeover in the context of liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, etc.) with another company. In the event that another company acquires or intends to acquire the assets/capital, which may also include your personal data, from us, or we carry out or seek to carry out a merger with another company, we may have to grant that company access to your personal data stored by us or transfer it for the purpose of examining and carrying out the company sale/merger (e.g. to determine the company value, business risks, etc.).

We process your personal data for this purpose in order to protect our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR in order to plan and execute a planned company sale or a planned merger.
