Data Protection

Data protection protects the people behind the data that is stored or processed in companies. The task of data protection and also the primary goal of ecovision GmbH is to arrange the handling of personal data in such a way that nobody is affected in his or her personal rights.

The European Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and also the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) impose a whole series of obligations on the bodies responsible for personal data processing.

Personal data may only be collected and processed if expressly permitted by the DSGVO. Essential basic principles of the DSGVO are:

Lawfulness of processing, fairness, transparency

Earmarking

Data minimization

Accuracy of data processing

Storage limitation and extinguishing concepts

Integrity and confidentiality

Responsible action in handling personal data, but also the risk-conscious use of IT systems and applications are further central objectives of ecovision GmbH.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and for what purpose we use it. It also explains how this is done and for what purpose.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Purpose of data collection, processing or use

The collection, processing or use of personal data is carried out to fulfil the company’s purpose or supporting secondary purposes, such as advising customers.

The company thus collects, processes and uses personal data exclusively for the preparation and fulfilment of contracts, out of a legitimate interest, to comply with legal obligations or with the consent of the person concerned.

Betroffene Personengruppen und diesbezügliche Daten oder Datenkategorien

The groups of persons affected are

current employees,

former employees,

applicants,

interested parties,

customers,

suppliers,

service provider and

other business partners.

The relevant data includes all personal data required to fulfil the respective purpose.

Ecovision GmbH does not target children as a target group on its websites or mobile applications.

Legal basis

Processing of personal data is only lawful if a law allows it, i.e. if there is a legal basis for it.

The DSGVO as well as the BDSG, however, define further possibilities.

In our company, personal data is only processed in accordance with the legal provisions. These are among others,

if consent to the processing of personal data has been obtained (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO),

or

if personal data must be processed in order to fulfil a contract or a contract initiation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO),

or

if we are subject to the responsibility to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO),

or

if we process personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest or on the basis of a legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO)

When weighing up the interests of the data subjects and the contracting parties, we always apply a strict standard in favour of the data subject.

Potential recipients for data transmission

The potential recipients of transmitted personal data are

• public bodies, if there is a legal obligation,
• ervice providers and other business partners, provided it is necessary for the fulfilment of the respective purpose and a legal provision permits or requires this or the person concerned has consented.

Standard periods for the deletion of data

The deletion of personal data is carried out in accordance with the applicable legal or contractual regulations for data deletion, taking into account legal or contractual obligations to retain data.

The deletion of personal data which are not subject to any legal or contractual obligation to retain or delete them is carried out immediately after they have become superfluous for the fulfilment of the respective purpose.

Your data protection rights

The person concerned is entitled to various rights regarding data protection. These rights are explained below. To exercise these rights, the above-mentioned contact data can be used.

Right to information

Every person shall have the right to know whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether the data subject is obliged to provide the personal data and the possible consequences of not providing it.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of data protection law, the person concerned has a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of the data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data transfer

You have the right to transfer data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract. We will hand them over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request a direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

The basis of the data processing is Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) DSGVO, the legitimate interest of the website operator in a correct presentation of the Internet presence and the guarantee of a secure operation of the website.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as they are necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the contract (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data on the use of our Internet pages (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to invoice the user.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer to third parties for services and digital contents upon conclusion of the contract

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the scope of the contract processing, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of a scan or a film or to the credit institution entrusted with the payment processing. A further transmission of the data does not take place or only if you have expressly agreed to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
