DATA PROTECTION SUPERVISOR

We have appointed a data protection officer, who can be reached by e-mail at the e-mail address datenschutz@ambifox.com or by post at the above address. Please provide postal correspondence with the addition “Data protection – personal / confidential”

What is it about?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with a disproportionate effort) relate to your person, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and in the presence of statutory retention obligations.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you as a data subject have the following rights:

  • Information pursuant to Article 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
  • Correction pursuant to Article 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
  • Deletion in accordance with Article 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, insofar as the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfil a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
  • Restriction of processing in accordance with Article 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you reject its deletion because you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR.
  • Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transmit the data directly to another person responsible, as far as this is technically feasible.
  • Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR against the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding, compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are proven or the processing is carried out to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. Insofar as the right to object to individual processing operations does not exist, this is stated there.
  • Revocation in accordance with Article 7 (3) GDPR of your consent with effect for the future.
  • Complaint pursuant to Article 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.
Who gets my data?

We only pass on your personal data, which we process on our website, to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In addition, we pass on personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients can then be, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data in accordance with Article 28 GDPR in the context of order processing on our behalf, these may be recipients of your personal data. Further information on the use of processors and web services can be found in the overview of the individual processing operations.
