Privacy policy

 

Data protection

The operators of these websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Our website can generally be used without providing any personal data. If personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis, wherever possible. Garderos GmbH will use this data only to communicate with you; it will not be passed on to third parties. In individual cases, Garderos GmbH uses the services of other companies, e.g., for shipping packages or payment processing. If your personal data is passed on for these reasons, our service providers are obligated to treat this data in accordance with German data protection law.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

2. General legal basis for the processing of personal data

We generally only process personal data of users of this website to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services and is legally permissible, in particular in accordance with the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act in the version applicable from May 25, 2018 (“BDSG 2018”).

The processing of users' personal data generally only occurs with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law:

  • If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  • For the processing of personal data necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary to implement pre-contractual measures.
  • To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  • In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  • If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. General information on data deletion and storage period

The personal data of a user of this website will be deleted or processing restricted as soon as the purpose for which it was processed no longer applies. Processing may also occur if required by law or other regulations to which we as the controller are subject. Data will also be deleted or processing restricted if a retention or storage period prescribed by law or other regulations to which we as the controller are subject expires, unless the necessity for further processing of the data is justified by the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

4. Processing of personal data when using the website

4.1. Type and scope

“Personal data” within the meaning of this data protection declaration includes, for example, your name or your address and communication data if you provide this to us, for example, via the contact form.

If you contact us via our hotline, we will process the personal data you provide, such as your name and telephone number.

Each time you visit our website, our system automatically records data and information from the visiting computer's system that your browser transmits to us and stores it in a log file. This includes:

  • Browser type and version you use
  • Operating system you use
  • The address of the last page you visited from which you followed to the current page
  • Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address)
  • Date and time of the web server request

We cannot, in principle, assign this information about website usage to a specific individual. However, the log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow them to be assigned to a user of the website. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the relevant web page or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data.

This data is also stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal user data. We do not combine this data with other data sources.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

4.2. Purpose of data collection

We process your personal data within the framework of the balancing of interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) for the following purposes:

  • To show you the websites and information you request.
  • To give you the opportunity to contact us via contact form or email.
  • To present the content of our website to you in the most effective and interesting way possible.
  • To identify and correct errors on the website, to check the load on the website and to make adjustments or improvements where necessary.
  • To secure our information technology systems, in particular to detect attacks and take countermeasures.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The data will not be evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.

4.3 Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session ends.

If data is stored in log files, this will be the case after fourteen (14) days at the latest. Longer storage is possible. In this case, the users' IP addresses will be deleted or altered so that the data can no longer be assigned to a specific user.

4.4. Possibility of objection

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files are essential for the operation of the website. Therefore, the user has no right to object.

4.5. No disclosure of your personal data

We will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless this is permitted to fulfill the intended purpose or for the purpose of contract execution, or if this is required or permitted by law or pursuant to a law, or if you have expressly consented.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require the browser used to access the site to be identified, even after a page change.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized using technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal user data.

5.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes, provided the user has given their consent, is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

5.3. Purpose of processing when using cookies

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify your use of our website. Some features of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. These require that the browser be recognized even after changing pages. We require cookies for the following applications:

  • Storage of language settings and login information
  • Consent to the collection of cookies

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

Our legitimate interest in processing personal data for these purposes also lies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

5.4. Duration of storage, right to object to and removal of cookies

Cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted from there to our website or our web server. Therefore, you have full control over the use of cookies by your computer system. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, you may no longer be able to fully use all of the website's functions.

6. Data protection on third-party websites

The website may contain hyperlinks to and from third-party websites. If you follow a hyperlink to one of these websites, please note that we cannot accept any responsibility or liability for third-party content or privacy practices.

7. Your rights as a data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller – i.e. us, Garderos GmbH:

7.1 Right to information

You can request information about whether we process personal data concerning you. If such processing occurs, you can request the following information from the controller:

  • the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  • the categories of personal data being processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
  • the planned duration for which the personal data concerning you will be stored or, if specific information is not available, the criteria used to determine that duration;
  • the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
  • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  • all available information as to their source, where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data will be transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

7.2. Right to rectification

You have the right to request rectification and/or completion from the controller if the personal data concerning you that are processed are incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification immediately.

7.3 Right to restriction of processing

You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

  • if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
  • if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, these data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

7.4 Right to erasure

7.4.1. Obligation to delete

You may request that the controller delete your personal data immediately. The controller is obligated to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  • The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

7.4.2 Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, the controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.

7.5 Right to information

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless doing so proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

7.6. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons arising from your particular situation.

The controller will then no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

The objection can be made informally by stating your name, address and, if applicable, your IP or email address to the following address:

Garderos GmbH
“Data Protection – Objection”
Balanstr. 55
81541 Munich
Germany

7.7. Right to revoke the data protection consent declaration

You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. This right of revocation also applies to declarations of consent given to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e., before May 25, 2018. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

7.8 General information on exercising your rights

If you request us to disclose or delete personal data, we can only comply with these requests with regard to your own data. Please understand that, to protect the data of other users, we may require appropriate proof of your identity from you. Since we generally only collect a very limited amount of data in connection with this website, which is usually deleted very quickly, and which can possibly only be assigned to a specific person – such as you – with great effort, we reserve the right to request additional information from you so that we can identify the relevant data about you that is covered by your request.

8. Changes to this privacy information

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time with future effect. The most current version will always be available on the website and will apply to all accesses from the date of publication. Please visit the website regularly and familiarize yourself with the current privacy policy.
