§ 4 Which (personal) data are collected?

When describing the scope of the data that are collected and saved, it is important to distinguish whether the data was collected when you were simply visiting our website, whether you made contact with us via e-mail or whether you have entered into a business transaction with us – especially the purchase of a product – or have specifically made use of the services we offer.

(1) Data collected automatically (using technology) by simply visiting our website

If you visit our website purely out of interest and simply to acquire information, you will not directly provide us with any data as a general rule. For technical reasons, the Internet browser you are using will automatically provide our web server with data when accessing our website. This data is automatically collected and saved by us or by third parties commission by us. It comprises above all the following information: – Your IP address
– The date and time at which you accessed our website
– Our websites that you visited
– The URL of the previously visited website (= Referrer URL)
– Information on the browser you used (browser type/version, operating system, etc.) This information is evaluated anonymously. It is exclusively used to improve the attractiveness, content and functionalities of our website. If data is transferred to external service providers, we have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the relevant data protection regulations are observed. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data that is collected for the provision of the website, this is carried out when the relevant session is terminated. The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

(2) Data collected directly/data that you have made available to us

(a) E-mail contact

If you make contact with us via e-mail, the data supplied by you (your e-mail address and, where relevant, your name and your telephone number) is saved. This data will be exclusively used for processing the conversation. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of personal data that is sent to us via e-mail, this is carried out when the relevant conversation with the user has been concluded. The conversation has been concluded when it is evident from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

(b) Customer account and processing of a purchase contract

If you voluntarily set up a customer account on our website http://www.de.bvl.com, we will save the data provided by you for future purchases until you withdraw your consent. We require this data in order to enable you to make use of our services and, in particular, to process purchase transactions from start to finish. This data includes identification data such as a postal address (shipment of goods). You can delete all of the supplied data, including your user account, in the customer area of the website. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6 (1) Sentence 1 (b) GDPR.

(c) Contact form

This data will be exclusively used for processing the conversation. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected.

If you make contact with us using a form (request for documentation) on https://www.BvLArchivio.de, the data supplied by you (your e-mail address, your name, company, telephone number and your message, etc.) will be transferred to us via an SSL connection and saved. This data will be exclusively used for processing the order request. The use of the form does not represent a legal binding order. If you make a purchase enquiry, we will examine your data and send you a purchase contract. If you make a leasing enquiry, you give your consent for us to transfer the data you have entered on the form to our leasing partner for the purpose of a credit check. On request, we will inform you before a credit check is carried out by our relevant leasing partner. Please send us a corresponding note in the message field when making your leasing enquiry.

§ 5 Transfer to third parties

If the data described above is collected and used, it is only transferred to external third parties to the extent that this is necessary for the performance of a contract, primarily to service providers such as postal or package delivery companies who receive your address from us for the purpose of delivering the goods. We select these service providers based on our best knowledge and judgement. Data is not otherwise transferred to third parties for advertising and/or market research purposes. Any other transfer of data to third parties is only carried out if we are legally obligated to do so e.g. as part of criminal proceedings or to prevent danger or in the event of a specific enquiry (e.g. leasing enquiry) that necessitates the transferring of your data.

§ 11 Rights of the data subject

If personal data about you is processed, you are the data subject in the sense of the GDPR and have the following rights with respect to the controller:

(1) Right to obtain information

You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed (see Article 15 DSGVO).If such data is being processed, you have the right to request the following information from the controller: – the purpose for which the personal data are being processed; – the categories of personal data that are being processed; – the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed; – the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored or, if it is not possible to provide specific information to this effect, the criteria used to determine that storage period; – the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to the restriction of processing by the controller or the right to object to such processing; – the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; – where the personal data have not been collected from the data subject, any available information as to the source of this data; – the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in those cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. You have the right to request information on whether the personal data concerning you will be transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you can request information on the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer of this data.

(2) Right to rectification

You have the right to obtain from the controller the rectification and/or completion of data, insofar as the personal data concerning you that is being processed is incorrect or incomplete. The controller is obligated to rectify this data without undue delay (Article 16 GDPR).

(3) Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request a restriction of processing of the personal data concerning you where one of the following conditions applies (Article 18 GDPR): – if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; – the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of the use of the personal data instead; – the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your legitimate grounds. Where processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, such personal data will only be processed – with the exception of storage – 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 processing of data has been restricted in accordance with the conditions described above, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

(4) Right to erasure

(a) Obligation to erase data

You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller is obligated to erase this data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies (Article 17 GDPR): – The personal data concerning you are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected or otherwise processed. – You have withdrawn your consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal ground for the processing. – You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR. – The personal data concerning you were unlawfully processed. – 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.

(b) Information transferred to third parties

Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obligated pursuant to Article 17 (1) GDPR to erase this data, 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 this personal data, or copies or replication of this personal data.

(c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
– for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
– for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
– for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9 (2) (h) and (i) GDPR as well as Article 9 (3) GDPR;
– for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) GDPR insofar as the right referred to in section (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing;
– for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

(5) Right to be informed

If you have exercised your right to obtain from the controller the rectification or erasure of data or a restriction of processing, the controller is obligated to inform recipients to whom the personal data concerning you were transferred about the rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or would require a disproportionate amount of effort. You have the right to obtain from the controller information about these recipients.

(6) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have made available to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you 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 Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The rights and freedoms of others must not be adversely affected as a result. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(7) Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions (Article 21 GDPR). If you want to exercise your right to object to the processing of this data, it is sufficient to send an e-mail to Service@BvLArchivio.de or a letter to the address stated under § 1. You can withdraw your previously issued consent for the processing of your data at any time with future effect by sending us a corresponding notification e.g. via e-mail to Service@BvLArchivio.de. The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such purposes. In the context of the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

(8) Right to withdraw your declaration of consent in accordance with data protection law

You can withdraw your previously issued consent for the processing of your data at any time with future effect by sending us a corresponding notification e.g. via e-mail to Service@BvLArchivio.de. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the legality of the processing of the data that took place before receipt of your notification about the withdrawal of your consent.

(9) Automated individual decision-making, 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 entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller, is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or is based on your explicit consent. However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 (1) GDPR, unless Article 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard you rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

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 personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
