A) When calling up our website:

When you call up our website www.maikowski-ninnemann.com, information is automatically sent to the server of our website by the browser used on your terminal device. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion after three months:
• IP address of the requesting computer,
• Date and time of access,
• Name and URL of the file retrieved,
• Website from which the access is made (referrer URL),
• Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:
• Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,
• Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
• Evaluation of system security and stability as well as for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

We would like to point out that we collect and store your personal data that we require for the purpose of initiating and processing a contract and have received from you for this purpose (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR) within the framework of the legal requirements. The data we process includes master data (e.g., names and addresses), contact data (e.g., e-mail addresses and telephone numbers) as well as contractual data (e.g., services used, contract contents, contractual communication, names of contact persons) and payment data (bank details, payment history).

We will delete this data when the data is no longer required to fulfill contractual or legal obligations (in particular warranty obligations); in all other respects, the statutory retention obligations apply (for more details, see Section IX.).

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk pursuant to Article 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to, entry into, disclosure of, assurance of availability of and segregation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data, and response to data compromise. Furthermore, we already take the protection of personal data into account during the development and selection of hardware, software and processes, pursuant to the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings (Article 25 GDPR).

We do not disclose your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

you have given your express consent to this pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a GDPR,
the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c GDPR, and
this is legally permissible and necessary pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

If you would like to make use of the following rights, please address your inquiries or similar inquiries in writing to the responsible office mentioned under item I. or to the data protection officer.

1. Information and correction of your data
   You have the right to receive from us, free of charge, information about whether and what personal data we have stored about you. If, despite our efforts to ensure that the data is correct and up to date, incorrect information has been stored, we will correct this immediately at your request.

2. Right to deletion of your data
   You may also request the deletion of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

3. Right to restrict the processing of your data
   You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its deletion and we no longer need the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.

4. Right to data portability
   You also have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another person responsible.

5. Right of complaint
   You can complain to a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or our company headquarters for this purpose.

Insofar as your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, insofar as there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation.

You have the right to revoke given consents pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR at any time with effect for the future.

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in its processing pursuant to Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Insofar as no specific deletion date is specified in this privacy statement, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This applies in particular to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law or for professional reasons (Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code, Section 257 of the German Commercial Code, Section 44 of the German Patent Attorney Code).

This privacy statement is currently valid and has the status of December 2021. Due to the further development of our website and offers on it or due to changed legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy statement.
