What is personal data?

The term personal data is defined in the Federal Data Protection Act and in the EU GDPR. It refers to individual details about the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your civil name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth. Find out more about exactly what data protection is here

Scope of anonymous data collection and data processing

Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data is collected, processed or used when using our websites. However, through the use of analysis and tracking tools, we learn certain technical information based on the data transmitted by your browser (e.g. browser type/version, operating system used, websites visited on our website including length of visit, previously visited website). We only analyse this information for statistical purposes.

Regulatory basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Google Ads and Conversion Tracking

Description and purpose

In order to draw attention to our current projects and developments, planned activities and services, we place Google AdWords adverts and use Google conversion tracking as part of this. Google AdWords (Google Ads) is a service provided by Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). These adverts are displayed after search queries on websites in the Google advertising network. We have the option of combining our adverts with specific search terms. We also use AdWords remarketing lists for search adverts. This allows us to customise search ad campaigns for users who have already visited our website. The services allow us to combine our adverts with certain search terms or to place adverts for previous visitors, e.g. advertising services that visitors have viewed on our website. An analysis of online user behaviour is necessary for interest-based offers. Google uses cookies to carry out this analysis. When you click on an advert or visit our website, Google places a cookie on the user's computer. This information is used to target the visitor in a subsequent search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's notes on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer receive information that a user has clicked on an advert and has been redirected to our websites in order to contact us via the contact form. Google and we as the customer also receive information via Google forwarding numbers that a user has clicked on one of our telephone numbers on the Internet and contacted us by telephone. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical analysis to optimise advertising. We do not receive any information with which visitors can be personally identified. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who have clicked on one of our adverts and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website with a conversion tag. Based on these statistics, we can track which search terms were clicked on our advert particularly often and which adverts lead to the user contacting us via the contact form or by telephone. With regard to telephone contact by interested parties or customers, the statistics provided by Google include the start time, the end time, the status (missed or received), the duration (seconds), the caller's area code, the telephone costs and the call type.

We use the YouTube.com platform to post our own videos and make them publicly accessible. YouTube is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Some of our website pages contain links or connections to the YouTube service. In general, we are not responsible for the content of linked websites. However, in the event that you follow a link to YouTube, we would like to note that YouTube stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes. We also directly integrate videos stored on YouTube on some of our websites. During this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. However, the YouTube videos are only called up by clicking on them separately. This technique is also known as "framing".

Creation of log files

Every time the website is accessed, BURG-WÄCHTER KG collects data and information through an automated system. This data is stored in the server log files. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The following data may be collected:

(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user's operating system
(3) The user's internet service provider
(4) The user's IP address
(5) The date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user's system accesses our website (referrer)
(7) Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

Duration of storage of personal data

Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the data is routinely deleted, unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfilment of a contract.

Possibilities for making contact

A contact form is available on the website of BURG-WÄCHTER GmbH & Co. KG, which can be used for electronic contact. The provider of the contact form is Shopify International Ltd. Alternatively, contact can be made via the e-mail address provided. If the data subject contacts the controller via one of these channels, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. The data is stored solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

Online shop

We have set up an online shop for our dealers. We use your personal data to process your online purchases (your orders and returns are processed via our online services) and to send you notifications about the delivery status of your items or in the event of problems with the delivery of your items. We use your personal data to process your payments. We also use your data to process complaints and product warranty claims. Your personal data is used to verify your identity, to ensure that you have reached the minimum legal age for online purchases and to check your address with external partners. We would like to offer you several payment methods and carry out analyses to find out which payment options are available to you, including your payment history and credit checks.

Registration on our website

If the data subject (contact person of one of our dealers) uses the option to register on the controller's website by providing personal data, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. The data is stored exclusively for internal use by the controller. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. During registration, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services. The data is not passed on to third parties. An exception is made if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The registration of data is necessary for the provision of content or services. Registered persons have the option of having the stored data deleted or amended at any time. The data subject can obtain information about their stored personal data at any time.

Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage. Data may be stored beyond this period if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. As soon as the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the controller:

the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

You have the right to request information as to whether your personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.

Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

(1) You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of your personal data without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase this data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully
The personal data concerning you have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

(2) If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

(3) The right to erasure shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary

to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h) and i) and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims

Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR

Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:

if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to information pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify 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 vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR

You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where

the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR and
the processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where 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 necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller will no longer process your personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If your personal data 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 the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

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, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller,
is carried out with your express consent

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in a. and c., the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

Integration of other third-party services and content

Description and purpose

Third-party content, such as videos, fonts or graphics from other websites, may be integrated into this website. This always assumes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") recognise the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the respective user's browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users of this. We would like to provide and improve our online offering through these integrations.

Legal bases

The legal basis for the integration of other third-party services and content is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in the intention to present our online presence accordingly and to provide user-friendly and economically efficient services on our part. Further notes can be found in the respective data protection information of the providers.

Contractual or legal obligation for the provision of personal data

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide this data may mean that you will not be able to use this function or will not be able to use it to its full extent.

Data transfer to third countries

The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. In principle, the controller can provide various suitable guarantees to ensure that an adequate level of protection is established for the processing operations. It is possible to transfer data on the basis of an adequacy decision, internal data protection regulations, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. a) - f) GDPR.

If the controller carries out a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, you will be informed at this point about the possible risks of data transfer to a third country.

There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not offer an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the respective third country or if certain agreements between the European Union and the respective third country are declared invalid. Specifically, there are risks in some third countries with regard to the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of surveillance laws (e.g. USA). In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of the data subjects in the third country enjoy an equivalent level of protection as in the Union and can also be effectively enforced.

However, the General Data Protection Regulation should not undermine the level of protection of individuals ensured throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organisations, including when personal data are onward transferred from a third country or an international organisation to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organisation.

Applications (training & job offers)

By submitting their application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the type and scope set out in this data protection declaration. The legal basis for the processing of applicant data is Art. 88 GDPR, § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b) GDPR. Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are voluntarily communicated as part of the application process, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession). Applicants can send us their applications by email to the following email address: bewerbung@burg.biz. Please note, however, that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and applicants must ensure that they are encrypted themselves. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and receipt on our server. Instead of applying by e-mail, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post. In the event of a successful application, we may process the data provided by applicants for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is unsuccessful, the applicant's data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. The deletion takes place after a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and fulfil our obligations to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act.
