Data protection
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Volker Weiss e.K.. The Volker Weiss e.K. website can generally be used without providing any personal data. However, if a person concerned wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Volker Weiss e.K.. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, the Volker Weiss e.K. has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

In addition, all information necessary for the fulfilment of the contract with you is collected.

The collection of personal data takes place

The personal data collected will be stored until the end of the statutory retention period for merchants (6, 8 or 10 years after the end of the calendar year in which the contractual relationship was terminated) and then deleted. By way of exception, this does not apply if we are obliged to store the data for a longer period due to tax or commercial law retention obligations (in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB), German Criminal Code (StGB) or German Fiscal Code (AO)) or if you have consented to storage beyond this period.

4. Transfer of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties. Exceptions to this only apply if this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you. This includes, in particular, the transfer of data to service providers commissioned by us (so-called processors) or other third parties whose activities are necessary for the fulfilment of the contract (e.g. shipping companies or banks). The data passed on may only be used by the third parties for the stated purposes.

5. Your rights as a data subject
As a person affected by the data processing, you have various rights:
– Right of revocation: You can revoke any consent you have given us at any time. The data processing based on the revoked consent may then no longer be continued in the future.

This applies in particular to the purposes of the data processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients, if applicable, the storage period, the origin of your data, if applicable, and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on their details.
– Right to rectification: You can request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of your personal data stored by us.

– Right to restriction of processing: You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you refuse to delete it.

You also have this right if you have objected to the processing of your personal data;
– Right to data portability: You can request that we send you the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server enquiry
• IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

Enquiry by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
