Data protection

We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of your personal data is an important concern for us. We comply with the legal provisions on data protection and data security.

We are subject, in particular, to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act in its version in force since 25.05.2018 (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). Pursuant to these provisions, we are particularly entitled to collect and use personal data insofar as this is necessary to enable you to use our internet offering, including all the services and functions contained therein.

Below you will find information about which personal data we collect when using our website and accessing the services and features contained therein, and how we use it for what purposes.

General information about data processing
Scope of processing of personal data
We process our users’ personal data solely to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data is generally only carried out with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
As far as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override that legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Furthermore, storage may take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files
Description and scope of data processing
With every call to our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:

IP address
Date and time of the request
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Content of the request (specific page)
Access status/HTTP status code
the amount of data transmitted in each case
Website from which the request comes
Browser
Operating system and its interface
Language and version of the browser software
We cannot assign these data to specific individuals. We do not combine this data with other data sources.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The storage also takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing for these purposes also lies in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. Furthermore, the data is deleted no later than seven days after collection. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized, so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.

Right of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Contact form and email contact
Description and scope of data processing
Our website has a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. If a user chooses to use this option, the data entered in the input form will be transmitted to us and stored.

Their explanation of the processing of data, with reference to this privacy policy, will be documented as part of the sending process.

Alternatively, contact can kontakt@deelight.de be made via the provided email addresses. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

In this context, no data is shared with third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

If the email contact aims to conclude a contract, then Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR provides the additional legal basis for processing.

Purpose of data processing
The processing of the personal data from the input form is solely used by us to process the contact request. In the case of an email contact, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input form of the contact form and those sent via email, this will be the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation will be considered ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the relevant matter has been conclusively resolved.

Right of objection and removal
The user has the option to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us via email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

All personal data that was stored in the course of the contact process will be deleted in this case.

Rights of the affected person
If personal data is processed by you, you are a data subject under the GDPR and you have the following rights against the controller:

Right of access
You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.

If such processing takes place, you may request information from the controller about the following:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

(2) the categories of personal data that are processed;

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or are still being disclosed;

(4) the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you, or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage duration;

(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;

(6) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;

(7) all available information about the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and the envisaged effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you will be transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to correction
You have the right to rectification and/or completion from the controller if the processed personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must make the correction immediately.

Right to restrict the processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

(1) if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or

(4) if you have submitted an objection to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the responsible party’s legitimate reasons outweigh your own.

If the processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, these data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been limited in accordance with the above requirements, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to deletion
Obligation to delete
You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you immediately, and the controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed in any other way.

(2) You revoke your consent, on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(3) You object to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing in accordance with Article 21(2) GDPR.

(4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.

(5) The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

(6) The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to the information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

Information to third parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is required to delete them pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, he shall, taking into account available technology and the implementation costs, take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform those responsible for data processing who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

Exceptions
The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary.

(1) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires the processing in accordance with the law of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) as well as Article 9(3) of the GDPR;

(4) for archival purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously impair them, or

(5) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to be informed
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing from the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the person responsible.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that

(1) 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

(2) the processing is carried out using automated methods.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or that is carried out in the exercise of public authority entrusted to the controller.

Right to withdraw
You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that takes place pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the option to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of information society services – regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC – using automated procedures that use technical specifications.

Right to revoke the data protection consent declaration
You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until the revocation.

Automated decision in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to have a person acting on behalf of the controller intervene, to present one’s own point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial legal remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

Changes to this privacy policy
The further development of the Internet and our Internet offering may also affect the handling of personal data. Therefore, we reserve the right to amend this privacy policy in the future in accordance with applicable data protection laws and to adapt it to any changes in data processing. The current version of the privacy policy can always be accessed under the heading „Data Protection“ or „Privacy Policy“.
