Legal Disclosures

With this information, the responsible party named under section 1 ("We") informs the user of the website ("you" or "user") in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about the collection and processing of personal data. At the same time, we will inform you if we store information on the device you use when accessing our website or if we access information already stored on your device.

For the use of websites of other providers, which are referred to via links, for example, the data protection information of those providers applies.

A General Information
 
1 Controller and Data Protection Officer
 
1.1 The data processor responsible for this website is: Uwe Leßmann, 99089 Erfurt, Hinter der Rennbahnn 10, info(at)submatix.com 1.2 You can contact the data protection officer by email at the address in section 1.1, adding the address "for the attention of the data protection officer." 1.3 Our website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM (www.all-inkl.com), i.e., it is technically provided on the web servers of this web host.
 
2 Rights of the Data Subject
 
If we collect personal data from you, you have the following rights as the "data subject":
 
2.1 Right to Information
You can request information about your personal data that we process in accordance with Art. 15 DS-GVO about your personal data that we process.
 
2.2 Right to object
You have the right to object for the specific reasons set out in Art. 21 Absatz  1 DS-GVO. We will inform you about this separately from this information under "B."
 
2.3 Right to rectification
If the information concerning you is no longer correct, you can request rectification in accordance with Art. 16 DS-VGO.If your data is incomplete, you can request completion.

2.4 Right to erasure

You can request the erasure of your personal data under the conditions set out in Art. 17 DS-VGO.Request the deletion of your personal data.

In the cases covered by Art. 18 DS-VGO, you have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data (“blocking”).

2.6 Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right, pursuant to Article 77 DS-GVO, to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority of your choice.

2.7 Right to data portability

In the event that you have provided us with personal data in accordance with Art. 20  1 DS-VGO, you have the right to have the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract delivered to you or to third parties in a structured, common, and machine-readable format. The collection of data for providing the website and the storage of log files (see Section 3.1 below) are essential for the operation of the website. They are therefore not based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) DS-VGO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1)  DS-VGO, but are justified pursuant to Art. 6 (1)  DS-VGO. The requirements of Art. 20 (1) DS-VGO are therefore not met in this respect.

3 Procedures: Providing the website and creating log files

1 Which data is processed for what purpose? Each time you access the website's content, the web server of our web host, where our website is stored, temporarily collects and stores information (data) from the internet browser of the accessing computer or device. This data may enable the user to be identified and is therefore personal data.

3.1.1 Our web host collects and stores the following data:

 - User's IP address,

  - Date and time of access to the website,

 - Protocol (e.g., HTTP),

  - Request method (Get) or "Post,

 -  Request content or details of the retrieved file that was sent to the user,

  - Access status (successful transmission, error, etc.),

  - The amount of data transferred in bytes,

  - Incoming and outgoing data traffic,

  - A process identification number (process ID),

 - The time it took the web server to respond to the user's request

 - The website from which the user accessed the website,

  - The browser used by the user,

  - the operating system 

 - the interface

 - the browser language, and the browser software version.

3.1.2 The temporary storage of this user data is necessary for the duration of a website visit to enable website delivery. For this purpose, the user's IP address must necessarily be stored for the duration of the session (i.e., the website visit).
 
3.1.3 Further storage of the IP address with the data listed below from the above list beyond this purpose occurs in log files. This is done so that our web host can ensure the functionality of the website and the security of the information technology systems.
 
3.2 On what legal basis is this data processed?
 
The data from section 3.1 is collected and processed by our web host for the aforementioned temporary storage purpose and also for the further storage purpose pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DS-VGO. This purpose also constitutes the legitimate interest in data processing. This legitimate interest is the interest of our web host, but also our legitimate interest in a functional website.
 
3.3 Are there other recipients of the aforementioned data besides the controller? As our processor, our web host has technical access to the data mentioned in 3.1.
 
3.4 How long is the data stored? The data from 3.1.1 is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. When the website is provided, this is the case when the respective session ends. The log files are retained for a maximum of 7 days, unless a security event requires longer retention.
 
3.5 Is there an obligation to provide the data? You must provide the data from 3.1 to our web host. Otherwise, you will not be able to use our website, and our web host cannot guarantee secure technical operation.
 
4 Data processing procedures
 
4.1 Data and information processing requiring consent
 
If we are only permitted to collect and process personal data with your consent, we will inform you of this in our consent banner in the context of the consent dialog.
 
4.2 Use of email address and contact form data based on legitimate interests
 
4.2.1 Which data is processed for which purpose?
 
If we provide you with an email address and a contact form with input fields, this serves the purpose of enabling you to contact us. If you send us personal data, we will store it and process it for the purpose of contacting you.
 
4.2.2 On what legal basis is this data processed?
The data from section 4.2.1 will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) DS-VGO (legitimate interest of us as the responsible party). If your inquiry is aimed at concluding a contract, Art. 6 (1) (b) DS-VGO is an additional legal basis (initiation, conclusion, and execution of a contract).
 
4.2.3 Are there other recipients of the aforementioned data besides the controller?
Our web host, as our processor, has technical access to the data mentioned in 4.2.1.
 
4.2.4 How long will the data be stored?
The data from 4.2.1 will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent to us via email or the contact form, this is the case when the respective correspondence with the user has ended and storage is not still required for other reasons. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved
 
4.2.5 Is there an obligation to provide?
You are not obligated to provide us with any data from 4.2.1. You are not required to communicate with us.
 
4.3 Use of the session cookie “wbk_sid” based on legitimate interests
 
4.3.1 Which data is processed for which purpose?
As soon as you use the login form or contact form, the session cookie "wbk_sid" is stored on your device by default. This cookie contains a long combination of numbers and letters ("ID"). The purpose of the cookie is to recognize the user when requesting to send login data or contact information, and to distinguish them from abusive users (e.g., spam bots).
 
The information in this cookie does constitute personal data. However, the use of the "wbk_sid" cookie does not require consent under data protection law because data processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the website operator and because the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require the protection of personal data do not override these interests. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Article 6 (1) (f) DS-VGO.
 
4.3.3 Are there other recipients of the aforementioned data besides the controller?
As our processor, our web host has technical access to the data mentioned in 4.3.1.
 
4.3.4 How long will the data be stored?
If the user closes the browser, the cookie is automatically deleted from the user's operating system. It is therefore only valid for the duration of the visit to the website (session cookie).
 
4.3.5 Is there an obligation to provide?
You are obligated to provide us with the data specified in 4.3.1. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the login form or the contact form.
our consent to the storage of information about the cookie “wbk_sid” in your terminal device or our access to this information stored in your terminal device is unnecessary because storage and/or access are absolutely necessary for you to be able to use the login form or the contact form (Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG).
 
4.4 Further data processing procedures are not required
 
5 Processing of information from your devices
 
5.1 If we wish to store information on the end device you use when visiting our websites and/or access information already stored on your end device, we will ask for your consent based on clear and comprehensive information. This is done via a consent banner used by us. We will obtain any required consent before accessing the data. You can revoke your consent at any time. However, your consent is not required for certain purposes specified in the law, so we do not ask for it in these cases. On the one hand, consent is not required if the sole purpose of storing information on the end user's end device or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored on the end user's end device is to transmit a message over a public telecommunications network. On the other hand, consent to the use of your terminal device is not required if the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is absolutely necessary so that we, as the provider of a telemedia service, can provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user.
 
5.2 Such access to end devices is possible using certain technologies. The most well-known technology is cookies. Cookies are objects that can be stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's end device. When a user visits a website, the server of the website operator or a third party can read the cookie stored there via the user's operating system and, consequently, the information stored there. A cookie may, but does not have to, contain a characteristic string of characters that enables the user's browser to be uniquely identified when the website is visited again.
 
5.3 Removal option: The user can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting their browser accordingly. Cookies already stored can also be deleted at any time by the user via their browser. The settings for this depend on the respective browser. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may result in not all functions of the website being fully available. What applies to cookies also applies to other technologies that utilize the user's device.
 
5.4 Cookies and similar technologies requiring consent: Our consent banner on the website provides information about cookies and similar technologies requiring consent.
 
5.5 Cookies and similar technologies that do not require consent: With regard to cookies and similar technologies that do not require consent, we have internally documented that consent is not required in accordance with Section 25 (2) TTDSG.
 
6 Consent banners
6.1 In order to obtain your legally required consent for certain services or functions, or to honor your revocation of consent in this regard, you will be shown a consent banner. Your consent or non-consent concerns our use of your device (computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet) through cookies or similar technologies, which can be used to store information on or read from your device. Your consent may also be required for the processing of personal data by us or third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 Letter a of the DS-VGO that is associated with your use of our websites. In certain cases, the law permits us to use your device without your consent and/or to subsequently process your personal data without your consent.
 
6.2 We use the consent banner to inform you about all services or functions that require your consent before we use the service or function. The consent banner consists of an overview of all processing operations requiring your consent and describes each in detail so that you as the user can assess the meaning and scope of your consent. You can consent to each process using a button/click area by activating it or reject the process by deactivating it. There are three options for this decision:
-Selecting "Make selection and save" results in the user's decision being saved as they made it by selecting it via the buttons/clicks. All services and functions requiring consent, to which the user agrees, are active and can be used. Services and functions that cannot be used without consent are not integrated into the website.
- Selecting "Reject all and save" results in this decision not being saved. The user's decision is therefore not to consent to anything that requires their consent, and as a result, all services and functions requiring consent will not function for this user. The banner is hidden.
- Selecting "Accept all and save" results in all services and functions requiring consent being "active." This means that you have given your consent in accordance with the DS-VGO and also agree to the use of your device. The banner is then hidden. During their continued use of the website, the user can actively trigger the display of the consent banner by revoking consent they have already given or by subsequently revoking consent that was not initially required. To do so, they click on the "Consent Settings" link. The consent banner will reappear.
Your consent can therefore be revoked at any time with future effect. A later revocation will no longer affect the legality of the access granted up to the time of revocation or the storage of information.
 
.3 All three of the user's aforementioned decisions ("Make selection and save," "Reject all and save," or "Accept all and save") are saved via the browser on the user's device in what is known as "local storage." The data is stored there permanently. The information is stored in the "wbkConsent" object. This technology is not a cookie in the true sense of the word. The information in the "wbkConsent" is also not personally identifiable, meaning the user will not be recognized when they visit the WBK user's website again. The consent selection decision is not stored on our server. This use of the user's device does not require consent according to Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG (user request).
 
7 Technical measures
 
7.1 SSL/TSL
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, for example, via inquiries you send to us as the website operator, our websites are equipped with active SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the browser's address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and a lock symbol appearing in the browser bar. As a result of this encryption, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. If you contact us using an email address provided on our website, the transmission of the email content to us is not end-to-end encrypted. This means that while emails are generally encrypted during transport via the email providers involved, they remain unencrypted on their servers. Contacting us via the contact form provided is therefore technically secure communication.
 
7.3 Video Integration
 
If you can view videos on our websites that are marked as external links to third-party websites, this is done exclusively via the technology of linking to the respective linked website or to a third-party video portal. These videos are stored there under the data protection responsibility of the respective third-party provider. The respective linked website or video portal is therefore not directly embedded in our websites. This ensures that user information is not transmitted to the portal when the website on which the video is integrated is loaded. It is also guaranteed that cookies or similar technologies for tracking user activities of the portals or their advertising partners cannot be placed on your device through the mere link. Only after you deliberately click on the video preview image is a connection established to the third-party portal and the associated data processing initiated. This, and the resulting possible processing of your user data on the linked portal, then occurs exclusively through your request to view the video there. The resulting data processing is beyond our control and is the responsibility of these third-party providers, who provide more or less detailed information about their data processing. If you do not agree to the data processing by the third-party provider, please do not click on the video preview image.
 
Special Information
Special right of objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DS-VGO
 
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6 (1) (f) DS-VGO (processing to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party), for reasons related to your particular situation, in accordance with Article 21 (1) DS-VGO.
 
You can send your objection to the address in section 1.1. We will then no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves us to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
 
In the event of your objection, you must provide us with a detailed explanation of any interests you may have (your "particular situation") so that we can re-evaluate your interests. If our interests in continued storage do not outweigh your interests, the personal data stored during the contact process will be deleted. If these continue to prevail, we will continue to process your data.
 
Liability for Links
Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. Upon notification of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately. Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence.
