PRIVACY POLICY

Data protection is of particular concern to 3D Mapping Solutions Auffanggesellschaft mbH. Our efforts to fulfil the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new version of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) are primarily aimed at respecting your privacy and personal sphere.

For modern companies such as 3D Mapping Solutions Auffanggesellschaft mbH, the use of electronic data processing systems (EDP) is indispensable nowadays. It goes without saying that we take the utmost care to comply with legal regulations.

Use of the 3D Mapping Solutions Auffanggesellschaft mbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

We will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing or other purposes. If you do not agree with the terms of the privacy policy, please do not send any personal data to us.

1. General / Definitions

This privacy policy is based on terms used in the GDPR and should be easy to read and understand for everyone. We would therefore like to explain various terms in advance:

a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject / person concerned

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Responsible person

The controller is 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. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. information on the collection of personal data

(1) In the following, we provide information about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behaviour, etc.

(2) The controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the

E-mail: ra-weller@idr-datenschutz.de

Web: https://idr-datenschutz.de (external data protection officer)

(4) When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, possibly your name and telephone number) will be automatically stored by us in order to answer your questions. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller will be stored exclusively for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

(5) If we use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail below about the respective processes. We will also state the specified criteria for the storage period.

(6) As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

(7) As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

3. your rights

(1) You have the following rights regarding your personal data that we hold:

–        Right to information:

                Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the GDPR, to obtain information free of charge at any time from the controller about the personal data stored about him/her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information

  1. the purposes of processing
  2. the categories of personal data that are processed
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations

  8. 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 the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

The data subject also has a right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

–        Right to withdraw consent under data protection law:

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time and by any means, contact any employee of the controller.

–        Right to rectification:

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

–        Right to cancellation / right to be forgotten:

      The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay if one of the following applies:

  1. the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), or point (a) of Article 9(2), and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  3. the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2).
  4. the personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  5. the deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  6. the personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1).

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to erasure / right to be forgotten, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

If we have made the personal data public and we are obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, we shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that a data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, that personal data. Our employees will take the necessary measures.

–        Right to restriction of processing:

      The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

  1. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
  2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  4. the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to restriction of processing, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

–        Right to object to the processing:

      Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the GDPR to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

      In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

      If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to us to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

      In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by us for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

      To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

–        Right to data portability:

      The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b), and
  2. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

      In exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

                If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right to data portability, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

–        Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

      Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the GDPR not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision

      (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or

      (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or

      (3) with the express consent of the data subject.

      If the decision is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or if the decision is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

         If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she          he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

(1) If you use our website for informational purposes only – that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with personal information – we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. This data is technically necessary to display the website to you and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cookies cannot execute programmes or transmit viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.

(3) Use of cookies:

1. a basic distinction is made between the following cookie types/functions:

a)   Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

b)   Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

c)   Necessary cookies are those that are absolutely essential for the operation of a website.

d) Statistical, marketing or personalisation cookies are used, among other things, to measure reach and also, for example, when the interests of a user or their behaviour are to be stored in a user profile. This process is also referred to as “tracking”. If we use cookies or “tracking” services, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or when obtaining consent.

e)   You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. We would like to point out that you may not be able to use all the functions of this website.

2.   In principle, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f)) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b)). If we ask you for your consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data is the declared consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a)).

3. you naturally have the option at any time to withdraw your consent or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (“opt-out”). Your objection can initially be declared using your browser settings. An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared using a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ or generally at http://optout.aboutads.info.

5. further functions and offers of our website

(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you must generally provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service and for which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.

(3) The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, as well as meta and communication data of customers, interested parties, and visitors of this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and secure provision of this online offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF): As part of the so-called “Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework” (TADPF), the EU Commission has also recognised the level of data protection for certain companies from the USA. The list of certified companies and further information can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/. Information in German and other languages can be found on the website of the EU Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/eu-us-data-transfers_en. We also inform you about the companies we use that are certified under the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework.

6. data protection for applications

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a contact form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment contract in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The processing of applicant data is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling our (pre-)contractual obligations within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where data processing becomes necessary for us, for example in the context of legal proceedings, it is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In Germany, § 26 BDSG also applies.

7. objection or revocation against the processing of your data

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke this at any time and by any means of communication. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have given it to us.

(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can contact us about your objection to advertising at the address given under point 2 (2).

8. legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data/necessity for the conclusion of a contract/consequences of non-provision/deletion

(1) We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law. However, it may also be possible that a data subject must provide us with personal data in order for a contract to be performed. Failure to do so would mean that the contract could not be concluded. Our employees will be happy to answer any questions you may have on a case-by-case basis.  

(2) The data processed by us will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

In accordance with legal requirements, data is retained in particular for 10 years pursuant to § 147(1) AO and § 257(1) nos. 1 and 4, and (4) HGB (e.g., books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation), and for 6 years pursuant to § 257(1) nos. 2 and 3, and (4) HGB (e.g., commercial correspondence).

9. use of our portal / registration on our website

(1) If you wish to use our portal/register on our website, you must register by entering your first and last name, your e-mail address, your company name and a password of your choice. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration by clicking on the link contained in a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database. The provision of the aforementioned data is mandatory; you can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal.

(2) If you use our portal/register on our website, we store your data required for the fulfilment of the contract until you finally delete your access. Furthermore, we store the voluntary data you provide for the duration of your use of the portal, unless you delete it beforehand. You can manage and change all data in the protected customer area. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

(3) By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offences to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

(4) To  unauthorised access to your personal data by third parties, the connection is encrypted.
