2. Definitions

From the GDPR

This data protection declaration uses the terms of the legal text of the GDPR. You can view the definitions (Art. 4 GDPR), for example at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are text files which are stored on your end device by a website or read out there. They contain combinations of letters and numbers, e.g. in order to recognise the user and his settings when connecting to the cookie-setting website again, to enable the user to remain logged in to a customer account or to statistically analyse a certain usage behaviour.

WebStorage technology enables variables and values to be stored locally in the user’s browser cache. The technology includes both the so-called “sessionStorage”, which remains stored until the browser tab is closed, and the “localStorage”, which is stored in the browser cache until the cache is emptied by the user. The localStorage technology makes it possible, among other things, to recognize the user and his settings when he visits our website.

Categories of data

When we specify the categories of data processed, this refers in particular to the following data: master data (e.g. name, address, dates of birth), contact data (e.g. e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, messenger services), content data (e.g. text entries, photographs, videos, contents of documents/files), contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, terms, customer category), payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history, use of other payment service providers), usage data (e.g. history on our website, use of certain content, access times, contact or order history), connection data (e.g. device information, IP addresses, URL referrers).

3. Information on data processing

We process personal data only to the extent permitted by law. Personal data will only be passed on in the cases described below. Personal data is protected by appropriate technical and organisational measures (e.g. pseudonymisation, encryption).

Unless we are required by law to store or disclose personal data to third parties (in particular law enforcement agencies), the decision as to which personal data is processed by us for how long and to what extent we disclose it depends on which functions of the website you use in each individual case.

4. Storage duration

Personal data shall be erased as soon as the purpose of the processing ceases to exist or a prescribed retention period expires, unless there is a need to retain personal data in order to conclude or fulfil a contract. As far as we have to inform you about the storage period of cookies and similar technologies, you will find the relevant information at the end of this privacy policy (under III. ).

Personal data that we process in the context of an application will be stored for a period of six months after the application process is completed.

5. Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling, do not take place.

6. Rights of data subjects

As a data subject, you have the right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, the right to correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, the right to deletion in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR and the right to data transferability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR. The right of information and the right of deletion are subject to the restrictions set out in Articles 34 and 35 of the Federal Data Protection Act. You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with Art. 19 BDSG).

The data protection supervisory authority responsible for us/ for our head office is: The State Commissioner for Data Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia, Kavalleriestrasse 2-4, 40213 Düsseldorf. However, you are free to complain to any other data protection supervisory authority.

7. Obligation of the responsible person to notify

We will notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of any correction or deletion of your personal data or of any restriction on processing in accordance with Art. 16, Art. 17 Para. 1 and Art. 18 GDPR, unless such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. We will inform you of the recipients if you request.

8. Duty to provide

Unless otherwise explained below in the information on the legal basis, you are not obliged to provide personal data. However, in the cases of Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR, the personal data is required for the performance or conclusion of a contract. If you do not provide the personal data concerned, the performance or conclusion of the contract is not possible. If you do not make the data available in the cases of Art. 6 para. 1 letter a, f GDPR, it is not possible to use the affected parts of our website.

9. Right of objection and withdrawal of consent

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter e or f of the DPA. Where personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing.

In accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 S. 1 GDPR, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us at any time. This does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. The revocation therefore only applies to the processing planned after the revocation. The revocation is possible informally by post or e-mail. If you submit an objection, we will no longer process your personal data, unless another (legal) basis permits this. If, however, a revocation is made and there is no other legal basis, the personal data must be deleted immediately at your request in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 letter b GDPR.

Objection and revocation can be made without any formality and should be addressed to:

ODOSCOPE GmbH
Widdersdorfer Straße 403

Links to Youtube und LinkedIn

On our website we use buttons for the integration of the social plugins of YouTube and LinkedIn. This solution prevents direct transmission of your data to the social networks and prevents these providers from reading and storing information on your terminal device. When you use our website, therefore, no connection is yet established to the servers of the social networks. This only happens when you click on one of the buttons. If you click on a corresponding button, a new page is opened that is retrieved from the servers of the respective social network. From that time the operator of the social network obtains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. At the same time, the provider may place cookies on your terminal device or read cookies, unless you have prohibited the use of cookies in your browser.
