§ 1 Information on the collection of personal data

(1) General information

Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your personal data during your visit to our website is particularly important to the management of INTREXX GmbH. The following information provides you with an overview of how we process your personal data and your rights under data protection law. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behavior.

If a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, such as our contact form, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject. The processing is always carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to INTREXX GmbH.

As the controller, INTREXX GmbH has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website against loss, destruction, access, alteration or dissemination by unauthorized persons. This also includes ensuring that your personal data is transmitted securely by us using encryption. We use the TSL (Transport Layer Security) coding system for this. 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.

Nevertheless, absolute protection cannot be guaranteed due to fundamental security gaps in Internet-based data transmissions.

§ 2 Your rights

(1) My rights as a data subject

You can request information about the personal data stored about you at the above address (Art. 15 GDPR). In addition, you can request a correction if we have stored incorrect data about you (Art. 16 GDPR). Under certain conditions, you can also request the erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR) or exercise your right to object (Art. 21 GDPR). You also have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data (Art. 18 GDPR) and the right to have the data you have provided handed over (Art. 20 GDPR). The restrictions under Sections 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right of access and the right to erasure.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to contact your competent supervisory authority for data protection (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG). In the case of Baden-Württemberg, this is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Königstrasse 10 a, 70173 Stuttgart.

If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 7 GDPR. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the withdrawal is not affected. Please also note that we may have to retain certain data for a certain period of time in order to comply with legal requirements.

(2) Information about your right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR

  1. INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO OBJECT
    You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(4) GDPR.

    If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

  2. RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES
    In individual cases, we process your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising.

The objection can be made informally and should be addressed to the contact details given under §1 no. (2) if possible (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

  3. Who receives my data?
    Unless otherwise specified in the detailed descriptions of the offers, those departments within our company that need your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or to implement our legitimate interest will have access to it. We will only pass on information about you outside the company if this is permitted or required by law or official notification obligations, if the disclosure is necessary for the processing and thus for the fulfillment of the contract or, at your request, for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, if we have your consent or if we are authorized to provide information.

    If we use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer, these have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked. Your personal data is then processed on the basis of order processing contracts in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and we ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. The categories of recipients in this case are providers for website management, online marketing and lead qualification support.

    If we wish to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail below about the respective processes.

§ 3 Collection of personal data when visiting our website

(1) Use of server log files

Each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a range of general data and information is recorded in log files. This includes an Internet Protocol address (IP address), the browser types and versions used, the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, the date and time of access to the website and other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR with the above-mentioned legitimate interests.

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to ensure delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This is also based on our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is necessary for the operation of the website. It is also possible to check the log files if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use or a specific attack on our website based on concrete evidence. Our legitimate interest in processing lies in the purpose of investigating and prosecuting such attacks and unlawful use.

(2) Use of Cookies

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' devices. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies).

Cookies are generally also used when a user's interests or behavior (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to show users content that matches their potential interests. This process is also referred to as "tracking", i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. The term "cookies" also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as "user IDs").

If we use cookies or tracking technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask you for your consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is your declared consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, e.g. in the business operation of our online offer and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Irrespective of whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to withdraw any consent you have given or to object to or revoke the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as "opt-out").

You can initially declare your objection using your browser settings, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (although this may also restrict the functionality of our online offering).

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: Before we process or have data processed in the context of the use of cookies, we ask users for their consent, which can be revoked at any time. Before consent has not been given, cookies that are necessary for the operation of our online offering are used at most. Their use is based on our interest and the interest of users in the expected functionality of our online offering.
