Insofar as we decide either alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of data processing, this includes above all the obligation to inform you transparently about the nature, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing (cf.

General

(1)      Definitions

Following the example of Art. 4 of the GDPR, these data protection notices are based on

the following definitions:

–   "Personal data" (Art. 4 No. 1 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 GDPR) means any operation which involves the handling of personal data, whether or not by automated, i.e. technology-based, means. This includes, in particular, the collection, i.e. the acquisition, recording, organization, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure 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 DS-GVO) 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 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; this also includes other group-affiliated legal entities.

–   "Processor" (Art. 4 No. 8 DS-GVO) 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 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.

 (2)  Name and address of the controller

The controller of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 DS-GVO is us:

Hemstedt GmbH, Schleicherweg 19, 74336 Brackenheim, Germany.

(4) Legal bases of data processing

By law, in principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited and only permitted if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:

–   Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO ("consent"): If the data subject has voluntarily, in an informed manner and unambiguously indicated by a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her for one or more specific purposes;

–   Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DS-GVO: If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject;

–   Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DS-GVO: If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, e.g. a legal obligation to preserve records;

–   Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d DS-GVO: If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;

–   Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e DS-GVO: 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 (1) p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO ("Legitimate Interests"): If the processing is necessary to protect legitimate (in particular legal or economic) interests of the controller or a third party, unless the conflicting interests or rights of the data subject prevail (especially if the data subject is a minor).

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below the applicable legal basis in each case. A processing operation may also be based on several legal bases.

(5) 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. Unless an explicit storage period 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. In principle, your data will only be stored on our servers in Germany, subject to any transfer that may take place in accordance with the regulations in the respective activities).

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 legal regulations to which we are subject as the responsible party, e.g. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO. If the storage period prescribed by the statutory provisions expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.

(6) Data security

We use appropriate 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. TSL encryption for our website, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its probability and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

We will be happy to provide you with more information on request.

(7) Cooperation with processors

As with any larger company, we also use external domestic and foreign service providers (e.g. for IT, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing) to handle our business transactions. These service providers only act on our instructions and are contractually obligated to comply with the data protection provisions pursuant to Art. 28 DS-GVO.

If personal data from you is passed on by us to our subsidiaries or is passed on to us by our subsidiaries, e.g. for advertising purposes, this is done on the basis of existing order processing relationships. 

(8) Requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries

In the course 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 takes place 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.

Some third countries are certified by the European Commission as having a level of data protection comparable to the EEA standard through so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be obtained here: ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html). 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.

(9) No automated decision making (including profiling)

We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision making process (including profiling). 

(10) No 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 in the context of the products we offer presented below, you will be informed of this separately.

(11) 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) p. 1 lit. c DS-GVO).

(12) Your rights

You can assert 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). As a data subject, you have the right:

–   in accordance with Art. 15 DS-GVO 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, erasure, 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 DS-GVO to demand the correction of incorrect or the completion of your data stored by us without delay;

–   pursuant to Art. 17 DS-GVO 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;

–   to request the restriction of the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 DS-GVO, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you or the processing is unlawful;

–   object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 DS-GVO, provided that the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e or lit. f DS-GVO. This is particularly the case if the processing is not necessary for the performance of 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 merits of the case and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing;

–   in accordance with Art. 7 (3) DS-GVO to revoke your consent given once (also before the applicability of the DS-GVO, i.e. before 25.5.2018 - i.e. your voluntary will made understandable in an informed manner and unambiguously by means of 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

The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded.

(3)  Purpose and legal basis of data processing

We process the personal data described in more detail above in accordance with the provisions of the DS-GVO, the other relevant data protection regulations and only to the extent necessary. Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO, the aforementioned purposes also represent our legitimate interests.

The processing of the log data serves statistical purposes and the improvement of the quality of our website, in particular the stability and security of the connection (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO).

Contact form data is processed for the purpose of handling customer inquiries (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b or lit. f DS-GVO).

Videoconference

We would like to inform you below about the processing of personal data in connection with the use of "Zoom" and "MS Teams".

Purpose of processing

We use the "Zoom" tool and the "MS Teams" tool to conduct conference calls, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars (hereinafter: "Online Meetings"). "Zoom" is a service of Zoom Video Communications, Inc. which is based in the USA. "MS Teams" is a service of Microsoft which is based in th USA.

Note: Insofar as you call up the Internet page of "Zoom", the provider of "Zoom" is responsible for data processing. As you call up the Internet page of "MS Teams", the provider of "MS Teams" is responsible for data processing. However, calling up the Internet page is only necessary to use "Zoom" in order to download the software for using "Zoom". Calling up the Internet page of "MS Teams" is only necessary to use "MS Teams" in order to download the software for using "MS Teams".

You can also use "Zoom" if you enter the respective meeting ID and, if applicable, further access data for the meeting directly in the "Zoom" app.

You can also use "MS Teams" if you enter the respective meeting ID and, if applicable, further access data for the meeting directly in the "MS Teams" app.

If you do not want to or cannot use the "Zoom" or "MS Teams" app, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the "Zoom" or "MS Teams" website.

What data is processed?

Various types of data are processed when using "Zoom" or "MS Teams". The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an "online meeting".

The following personal data are subject to processing:

User details: first name, last name, phone (optional), email address, password (if "single sign-on" is not used), profile picture (optional), department (optional).

Meeting metadata: Topic, description (optional), attendee IP addresses, device/hardware information.

For recordings (optional): MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of online meeting chat.

When dialing in with the telephone: Information on the incoming and outgoing call number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be stored.

Text, audio and video data: You may have the opportunity to use the chat, question or survey functions in an "online meeting". To this extent, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to log them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and from any video camera of the terminal device will be processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can turn off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the "Zoom" or "MS Teams" applications.

To participate in an "online meeting" or to enter the "meeting room", you must at least provide information about your name.

Scope of processing

We use "Zoom" and "MS Teams" to conduct "online meetings". If we want to record "online meetings", we will transparently inform you in advance and - if necessary - ask for consent. The fact of the recording will also be displayed to you in the "Zoom" app or "MS Teams" app.

If it is necessary for the purposes of logging the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will generally not be the case.

In the case of webinars, we may also process questions asked by webinar participants for purposes of recording and following up on webinars.

If you are registered as a user at "Zoom" or "MS Teams", then reports of "online meetings" (meeting metadata, telephone dial-in data, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars) may be stored at "Zoom" or "MS Teams" for up to one month.

Legal basis for data processing

Insofar as personal data of employees is processed by us, § 26 BDSG is the legal basis for data processing. If, in connection with the use of "Zoom" or "MS Teams", personal data is not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but is nevertheless an elementary component in the use of "Zoom" or "MS Teams", Article 6 (1) f) DSGVO is the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, our interest is in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

For the rest, the legal basis for data processing when conducting "online meetings" is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DSGVO, insofar as the meetings are conducted in the context of contractual relationships.

Should no contractual relationship exist, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Here, too, our interest is in the effective implementation of "online meetings". 

Recipients / passing on of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in "online meetings" is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is specifically intended to be passed on. Please note that the content of "online meetings", as well as personal meetings, is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended to be passed on.

Other recipients: The provider of "Zoom" necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data, insofar as this is provided for by ZOOM or MS TEAMS within the framework of our order processing agreement. The provider of "MS Teams" necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data, insofar as this is provided for by MS TEAMS within the framework of our order processing agreement.

Data processing outside the European Union

"Zoom" and "MS Teams" are services provided by providers from the USA. Processing of personal data thus also takes place in a third country. We have concluded a processing agreement with the provider of "Zoom" or "MS Teams" that complies with the requirements of Art. 26 DSGVO.

An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed on the one hand by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. As a supplementary protective measure, we have also configured our Zoom and MS Teams so that only data centers in the EU, the EEA or secure third countries such as Canada or Japan are used to conduct "online meetings".

Business partner

We process customer/supplier personal data such as company name, legal form, business address, legal representatives and contact persons (surname, first name, e-mail addresses and telephone/fax numbers) as well as invoice data.

We store and process personal data of customers/suppliers or contacts at these customers/suppliers as far as this is necessary

  • for the preparation and execution of a contract
  • for billing purposes and

to be able to offer you as a customer any other services that may be of interest to you, unless you have objected to the use of your data for advertising purposes.

The data is collected either directly from the customers/suppliers concerned and the contact persons there or via publicly accessible sources of information.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act (hereinafter referred to as BDSG), in particular

  • Art. 6 (1) letter b DS-GVO, which permits the processing of personal data insofar as this is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures and the performance of the contract, and
  • Art. 6 (1) (f) DS-GVO, which permits processing for the protection of our legitimate interests, provided that none of your interests worthy of protection are overridden.

Recipients of the personal data are exclusively us.

A transfer of personal data of customers / suppliers to recipients in third countries only takes place to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract.

We store personal data only as long as this is necessary to achieve the purposes described above and delete this data if it is no longer required, but no later than the expiry of the statutory retention periods.
