Collection of General Data and Information
The website of WEC GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The data collected may include (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the subpages accessed on our website by an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to protect against threats in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, WEC GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize our website content and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically evaluated by WEC GmbH, with the additional goal of increasing data protection and data security in our company to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
Registration on Our Website
The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors (e.g., a parcel delivery service), who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.
By registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date, and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data is necessary to prevent misuse of our services and to enable the investigation of committed offenses if necessary. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the security of the data controller. This data is generally not shared with third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or if the disclosure serves law enforcement purposes.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, by their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered individuals are free to modify or delete the personal data provided during registration at any time.
The data controller provides information to any data subject upon request regarding which personal data is stored about them. Furthermore, the data controller will correct or delete personal data upon request or notification by the data subject, provided that there are no legal retention obligations preventing this. The entirety of the data controller’s employees are available as contact persons in this context.
Contact Possibility via the Website
The website of WEC GmbH, in accordance with legal regulations, includes information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us. This also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as provided by European regulations or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.
If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a legally prescribed storage period expires, personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.
Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
b) Right to Information
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information from the data controller regarding the personal data stored about them, as well as a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to receive the following information:
The purposes of processing
The categories of personal data processed
The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, particularly in the case of recipients in third countries or international organizations
If possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine this duration
The existence of a right to rectification or deletion of personal data concerning them, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing
The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
If the personal data is not collected from the data subject: Any available information about the source of the data
The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, as per Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR, and, at least in such cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand the immediate rectification of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, considering the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data — also by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller that personal data concerning them be deleted immediately, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:
The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The deletion of the personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by WEC GmbH, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of WEC GmbH will ensure that the deletion request is promptly complied with.
If WEC GmbH has made personal data public and is obliged to delete the personal data as a controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, WEC GmbH, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, as long as processing is not necessary. The employee of WEC GmbH will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand that the controller restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
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.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses the deletion of the personal data, and instead requests the restriction of its use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by WEC GmbH, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of WEC GmbH will ensure that the restriction of processing is implemented.
f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which has been provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the 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.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability under 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 provided that it does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of WEC GmbH at any time.
g) Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of their personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
If an objection is made, WEC GmbH will 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 if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If WEC GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to WEC GmbH regarding processing for direct marketing purposes, WEC GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Additionally, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of their personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of WEC GmbH or another employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or fulfilling a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or fulfilling a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, WEC GmbH will implement appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
i) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent for the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
8. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company in processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as in processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries regarding our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor in our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override them. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
9. Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
10. Duration of Personal Data Storage
The criterion for the duration of personal data storage is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or initiation.
11. Legal or Contractual Requirements for Providing Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partially required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). Sometimes, it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences non-provision of personal data would have.
12. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
