3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect, what we use it for, and how and for what purpose the data is processed.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

eachTick GmbH
Hermann-Faßbender-Str. 23
50321 Brühl
Germany

E-Mail: info@eachtick.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, or similar information).

Data Retention

Unless a more specific retention period has been stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining your personal data (e.g. retention periods required under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, the data will be deleted once those reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing

If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of personal data are processed pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. through device fingerprinting), data processing is also based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with future effect.

Where your data is required for the performance of a contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to those external parties.

We only disclose personal data where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure.

When using data processors, we disclose our customers' personal data only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement (DPA). Where joint processing takes place, a Joint Controller Agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

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 DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to another controller where technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have any questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If your personal data has been or is being processed unlawfully, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be balanced. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser.

When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional E-mails

The use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligations for sending unsolicited advertising or informational material is hereby prohibited. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing device
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website. For this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Enquiries by E-mail, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (such as your name and the contents of your enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with future effect.

The data you send us through contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Subscription

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require your e-mail address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No additional data is collected unless voluntarily provided. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties.

The data entered into the newsletter subscription form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your e-mail address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by using the "Unsubscribe" link included in each newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out before your withdrawal remains unaffected.

The data you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or by our newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you unsubscribe or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, your data will be removed from the mailing list. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our mailing list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist by us or by our newsletter service provider where necessary to prevent future mailings. The data contained in the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our legitimate interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
