2. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and according to the legal data protection regulations as well as this data protection declaration.

If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can be subject to security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.


Reference to the responsible office
 

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Matthias Nienhaus
Auditor
Bismarckstr. 84
41564 Kaarst

Phone: +49 (0) 2131 53 93 353
E-Mail: info@wpmn.de

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing  

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal e-mail notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO)


If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f DSGVO, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which a processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling reasons for the processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO).

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 DSGVO).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority  

In the event of violations of the DSGVO, the parties concerned have a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of its habitual residence, place of work or place of presumed infringement. The right of appeal shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data transferability



You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion and correction


Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to limitation of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of the processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

  • If the processing of your personal data has taken place unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests predominate, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be used with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Opposition to promotional e-mails


We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action against unsolicited mailing or e-mailing of spam and other similar advertising materials.

3. Data protection commissioner

We have voluntarily appointed a data protection officer:

Melanie Nienhaus
Bismarckstr. 84

Phone: +49 (0) 2131 53 93 353
E-Mail: dsb@wpmn.de

4. Data collection on our website

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files (“Apache Combined Log Format”), which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  •  Browser type and browser version

  •  used operating system

  • Referrer URL

  • Hostname of the accessing computer

  • Date and time of the server request

  • IP adress

This data will not be merged with other data sources.

The temporary storage of this data is necessary to enable a technically error-free delivery of the website to your computer and to ensure the functionality of the website. With the help of this data, we also gain statistical knowledge about how our website is used. In addition, we collect the data in order to be able to trace and prevent unauthorised access to the web server and misuse of the website and to secure our information technology systems.

We store this data temporarily on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 f DSGVO). Our legitimate interest lies in achieving the purposes described above.

The data will be deleted if they are no longer necessary for the attainment of the purposes. IP addresses are stored by the provider for a maximum of 7 days. They are then anonymised and deleted after 8 weeks at the latest.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form including the contact data you provided there will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. These data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal e-mail notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax  

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request including all personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. A DSGVO) and / or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

Google Web Fonts

This page uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to know that your IP address has been used to access our website. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Plugins
The site uses the WordPress plugins Elementor and Elementor Pro.


The activation of the plugins constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.


Social Media

Our websites contain social media buttons. The buttons shown on our website are not plug-ins. Behind the buttons there is an external link from our site to the respective external site. Neither cookies are stored on your computer nor are your data transferred. Currently there are links to the following social networks included:

  • „LinkedIn“ (LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA),

These are operated exclusively by the respective provider. The links to our profiles on the corresponding platforms are identified within the framework of our online presence by the respective button belonging to the service.


When you visit our websites that contain such a button, your browser does not establish a connection with the servers of the respective service unless you click on the corresponding button. Therefore the information about the visit of our website is not forwarded to the respective service.

If during your visit to our website you are simultaneously logged in to the respective service via your personal user account (e.g. via another browser session) and you click on the buttons, your visit to our website can be assigned to your account.


Should you wish to prevent such data transmission, you must log out of your user account of the respective service or not use the links before visiting our websites. For the scope and purpose of the data collection by the respective service and the further processing and use of your data there, please refer to the data protection information directly from the website of the service. There you will also find further information about your corresponding data protection rights and setting options to protect your privacy.
