Your rights as a data subject

First of all, we would like to inform you about your rights as a data subject. These rights are standardized in Art. 15 – 22 EU-DS-GVO. This includes:

  • The right to information (Art. 15 EU-DS-GVO),
  • The right to erasure (Art. 17 EU-DS-GVO),
  • The right to rectification (Art. 16 EU-DS-GVO),
  • The right to data portability (Art. 20 EU GDPR),
  • The right to restriction of data processing (Art. 18 EU-DS-GVO),
  • The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 EU-DS-GVO).

To assert these rights, please contact: datenschutz@centron.de . The same applies if you have questions about data processing in our company or would like to revoke your consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

rights of objection

Please note the following in connection with the right to object:

If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without giving reasons. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct advertising.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. The objection is free of charge and can be made in any form, if possible to: datenschutz@centron.de .

If we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Purposes and legal basis of data processing

When processing your personal data, the provisions of the EU-DS-GVO and all other applicable data protection regulations are observed. The legal basis for data processing results in particular from Art. 6 EU-DS-GVO.

We use your data to initiate business, to fulfill contractual and legal obligations, to carry out the contractual relationship, to offer products and services and to strengthen customer relationships, which can also include analyzes for marketing purposes and direct advertising.

Your consent to data processing can also represent a data protection permit. Before you give your consent, we will inform you about the purpose of the data processing and your right of withdrawal.

Transfer to third parties

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of the statutory provisions or with the appropriate consent. Otherwise, it will not be passed on to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal provisions (passing on to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement authorities).

Recipients of the data / categories of recipients

Within our company, we ensure that only those people receive your data who need it to fulfill their contractual and legal obligations. If necessary, describe data transmission within a group of companies.

In certain cases, service providers support our specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. The necessary data protection agreements have been concluded with all service providers. In particular, these are shipping service providers, payment service providers as well as external consultants and employees.

Third country transfer / third country transfer intention

Data will only be transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary to carry out the contractual relationship, is required by law or if you have given us your consent. In principle, we do not transfer your personal data to any service provider outside of the European Economic Area.

Storage duration of the data

We store your data as long as they are required for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data (must) continue to be stored. This applies in particular to storage obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. commercial code, tax code, etc.). If there are no further storage obligations, the data will be routinely deleted after the purpose has been achieved.

In addition, we may retain information where you have given us your permission or where there is a legal dispute and we use evidence within the statutory statute of limitations, which can be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.

Secure transmission of your data

In order to protect the data stored by us as best as possible against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures. The security levels are constantly checked in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

The exchange of data from and to our website is always encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, in each case using the current encryption protocols. In addition, we offer our customers PGP encryption for electronic communication on request. Only we can decrypt this data. There is also the option of using alternative communication channels (e.g. by post).

Links social media

On our website you will find links to the social media services of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram LinkedIn and Xing. You can recognize links to the websites of the social media services by the respective company logo. If you follow these links, you will reach centron GmbH’s corporate website on the respective social media service. When you click on a link to a social media service, a connection to the servers of the social media service is established. This transmits to the server of the social media service that you have visited our website. In addition, further data is transmitted to the provider of the social media service. These are for example:

  • Address of the website on which the activated link is located
  • Date and time the website was accessed or the link was activated

Please note that we have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the provider of the social media service. You can find more information on the use of your data by the social media services integrated on our website in the data protection guidelines of the respective social media service.

Contact form / contact by e-mail (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS-GVO)

There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If you write to us using the contact form, we will process the data you provide on the contact form to contact you and answer your questions and requests.

The principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed here, in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need to contact you. This is your e-mail address and the message field itself. Your IP address will also be processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. All other data are voluntary fields and can be specified optionally (e.g. to answer your questions more individually).

In order to protect the security and confidentiality of your data in the best possible way, we implement appropriate security measures.

If you contact us by email, we will process the personal data provided in the email solely for the purpose of processing your request. If you do not use the contact form provided, no further data collection will take place.

Chat function (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU-DS-GVO)

On our website you have the option of contacting us via a chat form.

 

The principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed here, in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need for an exchange of information with you. This includes your name and your email address.

In order to protect the security and confidentiality of your data in the best possible way, we implement appropriate security measures. Your request will be transmitted to us in encrypted form.

Newsletter (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU-DS-GVO)

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. The e-mail address given when registering for the newsletter and your name will be used to send the personalized newsletter.

The principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed here, since only the e-mail address (possibly name in the case of personalized newsletters) is marked as a mandatory field. For technical reasons and for legal protection, your IP address will also be processed when you order the newsletter.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send newsletters by e-mail. This means that you will only receive advertising by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed that we should activate the newsletter service. This is done by sending you a notification email and asking you to confirm by clicking on a link contained in this email that you would like to receive our newsletter at this email address.

Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in the newsletter and thus revoke your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly via our website.

We only process the data you provide on the order form to carry out or process the contractual relationship, unless you agree to further use.

In addition, your IP address will be processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. Without this data, we will unfortunately have to refuse to conclude the contract, as we will then not be able to carry it out or we may have to terminate an existing contract. Of course, you can also provide more data yourself if you wish.

Registration / customer account (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS-GVO)

On our website we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The advantage is that you can view the order history in particular and the data you provide for the order form is saved. When ordering again, you do not have to enter it again.

Registration is therefore either necessary or possible to fulfill a contract (via our online shop) with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures.

The principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed here, since only the data required for registration is marked as a mandatory field with an asterisk (*). These are, for example, the e-mail address and password including password repetition.

For orders in our online shop, we also need information on the billing address (title, first name, last name, address, contact details, VAT ID.) for delivery. If the delivery address differs from the billing address, the above information for the delivery address must also be given.

By registering on our website, the IP address of the user, the date and time of registration are also saved (technical background data). By clicking the “Register now” button, you consent to the processing of your data.

Please note: We store the password you have given us in encrypted form. Employees of our company cannot read this password. Therefore, they cannot give you any information if you have forgotten your password.

In this case, use the “Forgot your password” function, which will send you an automatically generated new password by email. No employee is authorized to request your password from you by telephone or in writing. Therefore, please never give your password if you receive such requests.

With the completion of the registration process, your data is stored with us for use in the protected customer area. As soon as you register on our website with your e-mail address as your user name and password, this data will be made available for actions you have taken on our website (e.g. for orders in our online shop). Executed orders can be traced in the order history. You can enter changes to the billing or delivery address here.

Registered persons are free to make changes / corrections to the billing or delivery address in the order history themselves. Our customer service will also be happy to make changes/corrections if you contact them. Of course, you can also cancel or delete the registration or your customer account.

Payment systems (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS-GVO)

In our online shop you can pay by credit card, PayPal or direct debit (SEPA direct debit). For this purpose, the respective payment-relevant data is collected in order to be able to carry out your order and payment processing. In addition, your IP address will be processed for technical reasons and for legal protection.

The principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed in that you only have to provide us with the data that we absolutely need to process the payment and thus process the contract or that we are legally obliged to collect.

Without this data, we will unfortunately have to refuse to conclude the contract, as we will then not be able to carry it out.

The payment system we use uses SSL encryption to protect the transmission of your data.

Note on credit card payments: As is usual with credit card payments, the details on the credit card are checked.

Note on PayPal: PayPal is a company of PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. If the data subject selects “PayPal” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal.

By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing.

Personal data related to the respective order are also required to process the purchase contract. Details on data protection at PayPal can be found at: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-prev (for the legal situation from May 25, 2018).

Note on the direct debit procedure: As is usual with direct debit, your account details are collected in order to debit the corresponding amount from your account. If necessary, please add or adjust the payment terms. Please also note that individual providers provide their own legal texts, which must be observed.

Advertising purposes for existing customers (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU-DS-GVO)

centron GmbH is interested in maintaining the customer relationship with you and sending you information and offers about our products/services. We therefore process your data in order to send you relevant information and offers by email.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We maintain the fan pages ourselves in order to communicate with the visitors of these pages and to inform them about our offers in this way.

In addition, we collect data for statistical purposes in order to be able to further develop and optimize the content and to make our offer more attractive. The data required for this (e.g. total number of page views, page activities and data provided by the visitor, interactions) are processed by the social networks and made available to us. We have no influence on the generation and presentation.

In addition, your personal data will be processed by the providers of social media, but also by centron GmbH for market research and advertising purposes. So it is possible that z. B. user profiles are created based on your usage behavior and the resulting interests. Among other things, this enables advertisements to be placed inside and outside the platforms that match your interests. Cookies are usually stored on your computer for this purpose. Irrespective of this, data that is not collected directly on your end devices can also be stored in your usage profiles. The storage and analysis also takes place across devices; this applies in particular, but not exclusively, if you are registered as a member and logged in to the respective platforms.

The processing of your personal data by centron GmbH is based on our legitimate interests in effective information and communication in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of the EU GDPR.

If you are asked for your consent to data processing, i.e. if you declare your consent by confirming a button or similar (opt-in), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a., Article 7 EU GDPR.

Your rights / possibility of objection

If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our website and link it to your stored member data on the respective network, you must

  • log out of the respective network before you visit our fan page,
  • delete the cookies present on the device and
  • Quit and restart your browser.

After logging in again, however, you will be recognizable again for the network as a specific user.
