Privacy Policy - Information on processing of personal data This document informs you about how we process personal data. Introduction and structure of the document We, the company Dr. Fenyves und Gut Deutschland GmbH (hereinafter named "the company", "we" or "us"), thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our company and our services. Your personal data will only be processed in accordance with the provisions of German and European data protection law. Data protection law obliges us, as the entity responsible for data processing, to ensure the protection of your personal data through a variety of measures. One of these obligations is to inform you transparently about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the data processing (cf. Art. 13 and 14 EU-DSGVO). In the following, we also address you as the person affected by the data processing with "customer", "user", "you" or "data subject". In this privacy policy, we inform you about how your personal data is processed by us. Our privacy policy has a modular structure. It consists of a general part for any processing of personal data and processing situations that come into play and a special part, the content of which relates in each case only to the processing situation specified there. It is possible that we will use this online document to also inform you about processing operations that do not primarily take place on the website. You will find these in the special section of the document. If you wish to navigate quickly in the document, many browsers offer a search function via the key combination "CTRL key+f". Definitions Following the example of Art. 4 EU GDPR, this document is based on the following definitions: "Personal data" (Art. 4 No. 1 EU GDPR) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). A person is identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or by means of information relating to his or her physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity characteristics. The identifiability can also be given by means of a linkage of such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photographs, video or audio recordings may also contain personal data). "Processing" (Art. 4 No. 2 EU GDPR) means any operation which involves the handling of personal data, whether or not by means of automated (i.e. technology-based) processes. This includes, in particular, collection (i.e., acquisition), recording, organization, arrangement, storage, adaption or modification, readout, query, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment, combination, restriction, deletion or destruction of personal data, as well as the change of a purpose or intended use on which a data processing was originally based. "Controller" (Art. 4 No. 7 EU GDPR) means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. "Third party" (Art. 4 No. 10 EU GDPR) means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who are authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor. "Processor" (Art. 4 No. 8 EU GDPR) is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with the controller's instructions (e.g. IT service provider). In particular, a processor is not a third party in the sense of data protection law. "Consent" (Art. 4 No. 11 EU GDPR) of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of his or her wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her. Name and address of the responsible entity for processing Please refer to the imprint details on our website for the entity responsible for processing your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 EU-DSGVO, as well as contact details and other information about our company. Contact data of the data protection officer Our data protection team, consisting of data protection coordinators and our data protection officer, are available at all times to answer any questions you may have and to act as your contact person on the subject of data protection at our company. You can reach the data protection team - By mail at our address given in the imprint with the addition "data protection team". - By e-mail at datenschutz@fg-deutschland.de Your rights You can exercise your rights as a data subject regarding your processed personal data at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided at the beginning of this document. You facilitate your request if you contact the data protection team directly. As the data subject, you have the right: - in accordance with Art. 15 EU-GDPR to request information about your data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the category of data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, deletion, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details; - in accordance with Art. 16 EU-GDPR to demand the correction of incorrect or the completion of your data stored by us without delay;; - in accordance with Art. 17 EU-GDPR to request the deletion of your data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims - in accordance with Art. 18 EU-GDPR, to request the restriction of the processing of your data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you or the processing is unlawful; - in accordance with Art. 20 EU-GDPR to receive your data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another controller ("data portability"); - in accordance with Art. 21 EU GDPR to object to the processing provided that the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or lit. f EU GDPR. This is particularly the case if the processing is not necessary for fulfilling a contract with you. Unless it is an objection to direct marketing, when exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing. For many services on our websites that process personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f EU-DSGVO, the objection can be implemented technically via technologies available or to be installed in the browser, e.g. by blocking JavaScripts or cookies; - in accordance with Art. 7 (3) EU GDPR, to revoke your consent given once (also prior to the application of the EU GDPR, i.e. prior to 25.5.2018) - i.e. your voluntary will, made understandable in an informed manner and unambiguously by a declaration or other unambiguous confirming act, that you agree to the processing of the personal data in question for one or more specific purposes - at any time vis-à-vis us, if you have given such consent. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing, which was based on this consent, for the future and - in accordance with Art. 77 EU GDPR to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data in our company, such as the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us. Legal basis of data processing By law, in principle, any processing of personal data is allowed only if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR ("consent"): If the data subject has voluntarily, in an informed manner and unambiguously indicated by means of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act that he or she consents to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes; Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR ("Contract"): if the processing is necessary for the fufillment of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject's request; Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU GDPR ("legal obligation"): If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (e.g. a legal obligation to keep records); Art. 6 para 1 lit. d EU GDPR: When processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person; Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e EU GDPR: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR ("Legitimate Interests"): If the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate (in particular legal or economic) interests of the controller or a third party, unless the conflicting interests or rights of the data subject override (in particular if the data subject is a minor). Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR, the aforementioned purposes also constitute our legitimate interests. In the following, we indicate the applicable legal basis for each of the processing operations we carry out. A processing operation may also be based on several legal bases. Data deletion and storage duration For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below in each case how long the data will be stored by us and when it will be deleted or blocked. In the case of consent, the data deletion and storage duration specified in the consent request is decisive. If no explicit storage duration is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for the storage no longer applies. As a matter of principle, your data will only be stored in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, in a member state of the European Union (EU) or in another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Possible exceptions to this are outlined in the following sections and processing procedures. However, storage may take place beyond the specified time in the event of a (threatened) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by statutory provisions to which we are subject as the responsible party (e.g. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO). If the storage duration prescribed by the legal regulations expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this. Data security: website, e-Mail, Fax We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. TLS encryption for our website), taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the scope, context and purpose of the processing, as well as the existing risks (including their probability and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. For secure data transmission on the Internet, we use the hybrid encryption protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), more widely known by its predecessor name Secure Sockets Layer Software (SSL). This software encrypts the information that is transmitted by you. All information relevant to data protection is stored in encrypted form in a protected database. We would like to point out that the confidentiality of e-mail cannot be proven. Although we offer transport encryption (TLS) via our mail servers, confidentiality may depend on various mail relay servers over which we have no control: Whether these also use TLS and whether they evaluate the emails is beyond our control. When you send us a fax, the transmission takes place via the Internet Protocol (FoIP). The transmission is technically identical to sending an e-mail or web page data. We do not know if an IP-based service encrypts data accordingly the confidentiality of the sent data is not guaranteed. We do not recommend sending sensitive data by fax. We will be happy to provide you with further information upon request. Please get in touch with our data protection team.

Cooperation with contract processors As with any larger company, we also use external service providers to handle our business transactions, e.g. for the areas of IT, logistics, telecommunications: parcel delivery, sending letters or e-mails, analyzing our databases, advertising measures, processing payments, sales and marketing. These service providers have access to personal data needed to perform their tasks. However, they may not use this data for any other purpose. Processors only act on our instructions and have been contractually obligated within the meaning of Art. 28 EU-DSGVO to comply with the provisions of data protection law. Processors are not third parties. Precondition for the transfer of personal data to third countries In the framework of our business relationships, your personal data may be transferred or disclosed to third party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing is carried out exclusively for the fulfillment of contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer in the following at the relevant points. Accordingly, we usually indicate the registered office of the company offering a service. The European Commission certifies that some third countries have a level of data protection comparable to the EEA standard by means of so-called adequacy decisions. The Commission has adopted adequacy decisions for the following countries and territories: Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom (as of Dec. 2021). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding company regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates or recognized codes of conduct. Automated decision making We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision making process (including profiling).. Obligation to provide personal data We do not make the conclusion of contracts with us dependent on you providing us with personal data in advance. As a customer, you are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data; however, we may only be able to provide certain services to a limited extent or not at all if you do not provide the necessary data. If this should exceptionally be the case within the scope of the products or processing procedures presented below, you will be informed separately. Legal obligation to transmit certain data We may be subject to a specific legal or statutory obligation to provide the lawfully processed personal data to third parties, in particular public bodies (Art. 6 (1) c EUGDPR). Change of privacy policy In the context of the further development of data protection law, as well as technological or organizational changes, this document is regularly reviewed for the need for adaptation or additions. We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations with effect for the future. We will publish the changes here.
