Privacy Policy

General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that provides information about you and can be used to identify you. In this Privacy Policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose, and on what legal basis we process your data.

The following entity is responsible for data processing on this website and within our company:

PAS Fockbek

Ahrenstedt 32a

24787 Fockbek

E-Mail: pasfockbek@outlook.de

General Information

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your information on websites, place online orders, or send emails over the internet, you should always be aware that unauthorized third parties may access your data. There is no such thing as complete protection against such access. However, we do everything in our power to protect your data as best we can and to close any security gaps to the extent possible.

An important security measure is the SSL or TLS encryption used on our website, which ensures that data you send to us cannot be intercepted by third parties. You can recognize this encryption by the padlock icon next to the website address in your browser and by the fact that our website address begins with https:// rather than http://.

How long do we retain your data?

In certain sections of this Privacy Policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will retain your data. If no such information is provided, we will retain your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing, or you withdraw your consent to the data processing.

However, in the event of an objection or withdrawal, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing to process your data that override your interests, rights, and freedoms (only in the event of an objection to data processing; if the objection is directed against direct marketing, we cannot invoke such legitimate grounds).
Data processing is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (this does not apply if your objection relates to direct marketing).
We are legally required to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the condition(s) no longer apply.

Data transfer to the United States

On our website, we also use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA, where it is stored and, if necessary, further processed. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. This establishes that the USA ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to US companies. This decision is based on new safeguards and measures introduced by the USA to meet data protection requirements. The adequacy decision includes, among other things, limitations and safeguards regarding access to data by US intelligence services. Binding safeguards have been introduced to limit access by US intelligence services to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security. Furthermore, enhanced oversight of US intelligence activities has been established to ensure that limitations on surveillance activities are observed. An independent redress mechanism has also been set up to handle and resolve complaints from European citizens regarding access to their data. The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework thus enables European companies to transfer data to certified US companies without having to implement additional data protection safeguards. You can view a list of all certified companies at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search

A change to the decision of the European Commission cannot be ruled out.

Your rights

Objection to data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE PROCESS IT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(f) F) of the GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS UNDER ART. 21 OF THE GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU PROVIDE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION. A JUSTIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR OBJECTION IS THAT WE ARE NO LONGER PERMITTED TO PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:

WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS.
THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AT DIRECT MARKETING OR AT PROFILING RELATED TO SUCH MARKETING.

Additional rights

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You provide this consent, for example, by checking the appropriate box on online forms before submitting them, or by accepting certain cookies when you visit our website. You may withdraw your consent at any time without providing a reason (Art. 7(3) GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data. The only exception: We are legally required to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular under tax and commercial law.

Recht zur Beschwerde bei der zuständigen Aufsichtsbehörde

If you believe that we have violated the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right under Article 77 of the GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State where you reside, where you work, or where the alleged violation occurred. The right to lodge a complaint exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

We must provide you or a third party with data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used machine-readable format if you request it. We may only transfer the data to another controller to the extent that this is technically feasible.

Right to access, delete, and correct data

Under Article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to receive, free of charge, information about what personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we disclose the data, and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected (Article 16 of the GDPR); under the conditions set forth in Article 17 of the GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.

Right to restriction of processing

In certain situations, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Article 18 of the GDPR. In such cases, the data may only be processed—other than for storage purposes—as follows:

with your consent
to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims
to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State

You have the right to restrict processing in the following situations:

You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, and we need time to verify this. You have the right to access this information for the duration of the verification process.
Die Verarbeitung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten erfolgt zu Unrecht oder war in der Vergangenheit unrechtmäßig. Hier besteht das Recht alternativ zur Löschung der Daten.
We no longer require your personal data, but you need them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. In this case, the right exists as an alternative to the deletion of the data.
You have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and now your interests and ours must be weighed against one another. You retain this right until the outcome of this assessment has been determined.

Data Collection on This Website

Use of Cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (essential cookies). Others are required to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies, it would not be possible to use the features of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or optimize advertising. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g., to process payments, these companies may also place cookies on your device when you visit the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are stored on your device only for the duration of a session. This means they are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can, for example, result in your browsing behavior being tracked over time. You can use your browser settings to control how it handles cookies:

Would you like to be notified when cookies are set?
Do you want to block cookies in general or only in certain cases?
Would you like cookies to be automatically deleted when you close your browser?

If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analytical purposes, we will inform you of this in this Privacy Policy. We will also ask for your consent regarding this when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

When you visit our website and close the Legal Cockpit cookie window that requests your consent, the following data is transmitted to the company:

Your IP address
Information about your browser
Information about your device
the time of your visit to the website

In addition, Legal Cockpit stores a cookie in your browser to associate the consents you have given—or their revocation—with your browser. All collected data is stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Legal Cockpit cookie, or you request that we delete the data. This does not apply if we are legally required to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We are legally required to obtain consent from our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. To fulfill this obligation, we use Legal Cockpit. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

Server log files

Server log files record all requests and visits to our website and log error messages. They also contain personal data, specifically your IP address. However, this address is anonymized by the provider shortly thereafter, so we cannot link the data to you personally. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores server log files to track activity on our website and identify errors. The files contain the following data:

Browser type and version
operating system used

IP address (anonymized if necessary)

We do not combine this data with any other data; we use it solely for statistical analysis and to improve our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website operates without errors. We also have a legitimate interest in obtaining an anonymized overview of visits to our website. Data processing is therefore lawful under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Data Processing on Social Media

What is social media?

By “social media,” we mean the social networks on which we have created publicly accessible profiles. You can find out exactly which social networks these are below.

Who processes your data?

The respective operators of the social networks. You can find the individual operators listed below under the respective networks.

How is your data processed?

Social media platform operators are generally able to collect and analyze comprehensive data on the behavior of visitors and users of their platforms. We are unable to track all data processing activities on the social media platforms we use; therefore, the operators of these platforms may carry out additional processing activities not listed here. You can find further information on this in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social networks.

The processing of your data may be triggered when you visit the social network’s website or our profile page there. Even if you visit a website that uses certain elements of the network—such as “Like” or “Share” buttons—data may already be transmitted to the social network’s operators. If you are a user of the social network and are logged into your user account, your visit to our profile page may be associated with your account by the social network operator. Even if you have not registered a user account or are not logged in, the network operator may still collect your personal data, e.g., by recording your IP address or setting cookies. With this data, the operators can create user profiles tailored to your behavior and interests and display interest-based advertising to you both within and outside the network. If you are a registered user of the network, interest-based advertising may also be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

On what legal basis is your data processed?

Our social media profiles are intended to ensure the broadest possible online presence for our company. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. Data processing is therefore lawful under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The data processing operations and analyses carried out by the social media platform operators themselves may be based on other legal grounds. These must be specified by the social media platform operators.

Who is responsible for processing your data, and how can you exercise your rights?

When you visit one of our profiles on social media, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective network for the data processing activities triggered by your visit. You may generally exercise your rights with both us and the operator of the respective network.

Although we share responsibility with the operators of social networks, our influence over the data processing activities of the respective operator is limited and is primarily governed by the operator’s guidelines.

How long will your data be stored?

When we collect data through our social media profiles, this data is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request that we delete it, or you withdraw your consent to its storage. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

We have no control over how long social media platforms store the data they collect for their own purposes. You can obtain information on this directly from the operator of the respective social media platform, for example in their privacy policy.

What social media platforms do we use?
