PRIVACY POLICY

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our company and our offers. Despite careful supervision, we are not liable for external links to third-party content as we have neither initiated the transmission of this information nor chosen or changed the recipients of this information or the information itself.

The protection of your personal data that is collected, processed and used when you visit our website is important to us and is governed by legal provisions which you can find more about by visiting sites such as www.bfdi.bund.de/EN.

The following information explains what information we record when you visit our website and how this information is used:

WHEN WE COLLECT AND STORE PERSONAL DATA AND HOW AND WHY WE USE IT

a) When you visit our website

Whenever a customer (or any other user) visits our website, information is sent automatically to the server of our website by the internet browser used on the customer’s end device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). This information is temporarily stored in a log file.

The following data is recorded without any action on your part and is stored until it is automatically erased:

• IP address of the computer making the request, device ID or individual device identifier, and device type
• name of the file accessed and the volume of data transferred as well as the date and time it was accessed
• notification of successful access
• requesting domain
• description of the type of internet browser used and possibly the operating system of your end device and the name of your access provider
• your browser history data and your standard weblog information
• location data, including location data from your mobile device Please note that most mobile devices allow you to control or deactivate the use of location services via the settings menu.

We have a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence (1) letter (f) GDPR in collecting this data for the following purposes: Ensuring a connection is established smoothly and that the website is easy to use, evaluating the system security and stability and for other administrative purposes.

Under no circumstances do we use the data we collect to deduce information about you.

b) When we conclude a contractual relationship

When we conclude a contractual relationship on our website, we ask you for the following personal data:

• your personal details such as name, email, address and telephone number
• other personal data which we are legally obliged or entitled to record and process and which we need to be able to authenticate and identify you and to review the data collected by us.

We process the data specified above in order to conclude the contractual relationship. The data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) letter (b) GDPR. The storage period is limited to the purpose of the contract and, if applicable, legal and contractual document retention obligations.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

We do not transfer your data to third parties for any purposes other than those listed below.

We transfer your data to third parties only if:

• you have given your explicit consent for us to do so (in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence (1) letter (a) GDPR)
• this is necessary to conclude a contractual relationship with you (Article 6 (1) letter (b) GDPR)
• there is a legal obligation to do so (Article 6 (1) letter (c) GDPR)
• the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and there are no reasons to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data (Article 6 (1) sentence (1) letter (f) GDPR).

However, in these cases, the extent of the data transferred is limited to the required minimum.

Our data protection provisions are in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and the data is processed only in the Federal Republic of Germany, the European Union or other countries with appropriate levels of data protection (e.g. Switzerland). We do not and do not intend to transfer data to third countries.

DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

In the context of a transfer of personal data to an organisation or a company in a non-EEA country, a so-called "third country" (non-member state of the European Economic Area (EEA) including the European Union) or a contract processing by companies there, this always takes place on the above-mentioned basis. To ensure data protection-friendly processing, we only include companies that are subject to a certified data protection level or assure us of this standard via officially published standard contracts (EU standard contract clauses).

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

We will happily inform you upon request whether we have stored personal data concerning you and, where that is the case, what data that is (Article 15 GDPR), and in particular of the purpose of the processing, the category of the personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, the existence of the right to request rectification, erasure or restriction of processing of personal data or to object to such processing, the right to lodge a complaint, the source of your data where it is not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling.

You also have the right to have your potentially inaccurate personal data rectified and the right to have incomplete personal data completed (Article 16 GDPR).

In addition, you have the right to obtain from us the restriction of processing of your data, provided that the relevant legal requirements apply (Article 18 GDPR).

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to request that this data be transferred to another controller (Article 20 GDPR).

You also have the ‘right to be forgotten’, which means you can obtain from us the erasure of your personal data, provided that the relevant legal requirements apply (Article 17 GDPR).

Irrespective of this, we will automatically erase your personal data if the purpose of the data collection no longer applies or if the data has been processed unlawfully.

You have the right under Article 7 (3) GDPR to withdraw your previously given consent from us at any time. This will mean that we will not be allowed to process your data in the future as we will no longer have your consent to do so.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, provided that the right to object is provided for by law. We will also automatically erase your personal data in the event of an effective withdrawal of consent (Article 21 GDPR).

To exercise your right to withdraw consent or your right to object, you must simply send an email to: datenschutzbeauftragter@mosolf.de.

In the event of violations of data protection regulations, you have the option of lodging a complaint to the State Data Protection and Freedom-of-Information Officer: Lautenschlagerstraße 20, 70173 Stuttgart, Germany,

This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-page recognition of the user to analyze user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) as defined by the TTDSG.

We have no control over the data that Twitter collects in this process or the extent of this data. To our knowledge, Twitter collects the URL of the website accessed and the IP address of the user but uses this information for no other purpose than to display the Twitter components.
