General data processing

Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, we collect and use personal data from our users only to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website or as is necessary for our content and services. The collection and use of personal data from our users occurs periodically and only after consent from the user. An exception is permitted for cases in which prior consent is not possible for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is allowed by legal provisions.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. In the processing of personal data necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation that our company is subject to, 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 processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for 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The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is no longer valid. In addition, such storage may be provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for closing or fulfilment of a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the user’s device. The following data is collected here:

1. Information about the browser type and version used
2. The operating system of the user’s device
3. The Internet service provider of the user
4. The IP address of the user
5. Date and time of access
6. Websites from which the user’s device reaches our website
7. Websites accessed by the user’s system through our website

If data is stored in log files beyond this period, the IP addresses of users are deleted or anonymised so that assignment to the accessing client is no longer possible.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the user’s device. To do this, the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimise 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.

For these purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is completed.

In the case of storage the data in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. Additional storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

Objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a character string that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is reopened.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser be identified even after a page break. The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

1. Language settings
2. Browser data
3. System information
4. Log-in information on the corresponding microsites

Legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If cookies are not technically necessary, processing is based on the user’s consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Purpose of the data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change. We require cookies for the following applications:

1. Adapted output of the website to the user
2. Adoption of language settings
3. Remembering search terms
4. Remembering log-in information

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies will not be used to create user profiles.

For these purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Duration of storage, objection and removal

Cookies are stored on the computer of the user and transmitted by this to our side. Therefore, as a user, you have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies already saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may not be possible to use all the functions of the website to the full extent.

Purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only to process the contact. In the case of contact via e-mail, this also includes the required legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serves 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 for the purpose of its collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been finally clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted at the latest after seven days.

Objection and removal possibility

The user has the possibility at any time to revoke his consent to the processing of the personal data. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he may object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

The revocation of the consent and the revocation of the storage of the data can be carried out at any time by email to kontakt@enervis.de or datenschutz@enervis.de or by phone to +49 (0) 30 695 175 0. It should be mentioned exactly which personal data should be deleted.
