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 in accordance with the applicable statutory data-protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data may be collected. Personal data is information that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose.

Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may involve security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

Information on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Häuser & Co GmbH
Vohwinkelstrasse 107
D-47137 Duisburg
Germany

Telephone: +49 203-606-66963
Email: info@haeuser-co.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar information.

Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing

Many data-processing activities are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before consent is withdrawn remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing

(Article 21 GDPR)

Where data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The applicable legal basis for processing can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).

Where your personal data is processed for direct-marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, including profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct-marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either yourself or through a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only take place where technically feasible.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock icon appears in your browser.

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

Information, Restriction, Erasure and Rectification

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified, restricted or erased. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice if you have questions about this or other matters relating to personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request that processing be restricted instead of requesting erasure.
  • If we no longer require your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
  • If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, your interests must be weighed against ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
 

Where you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
