Privacy Policy

We are delighted about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Technoboxx GmbH. The use of the Technoboxx GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. 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, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Technoboxx GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights through this privacy policy.

Technoboxx GmbH, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

 

  1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Technoboxx GmbH is based on the terms used by the European directives and regulations when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms in this privacy policy, including:

  1. a) Personal Data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

  1. b) Data Subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

  1. c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  1. d) Restriction of Processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

  1. e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

  1. f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  1. g) Controller or Controller Responsible for the Processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  1. h) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  1. i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

  1. j) Third Party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

  1. k) Consent

Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

  1. Name and Address of the Controller

The controller responsible for the processing pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

  1. Cookies

The websites of Technoboxx GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, Technoboxx GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting the cookie.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his access data again each time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

  1. Collection of general data and information

The website of Technoboxx GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following data can be collected: (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

Technoboxx GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Technoboxx GmbH on the one hand statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

  1. Contact possibility via the website

The website of Technoboxx GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller responsible for processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller responsible for processing is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

  1. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided for by the European directives and regulations or any other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or any other relevant legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

 

  1. Rights of the Data Subject
  1. a) Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

  1. b) Right to Information

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

  • the purposes of the processing • the categories of personal data processed • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations • if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration • the existence of the right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority • if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information on the origin of the data • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

  1. c) Right to Rectification

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

  1. d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies and if processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary. • The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR is based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing. • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR. • The personal data has been unlawfully processed. • The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. • The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Technoboxx GmbH, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Technoboxx GmbH will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with immediately. If the personal data has been made public by Technoboxx GmbH and if our company is responsible as the controller pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, Technoboxx GmbH will, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The employee of Technoboxx GmbH will arrange the necessary measures on a case-by-case basis.

  1. e) Right to Restriction of Processing

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. • The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of its use. • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Technoboxx GmbH, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Technoboxx GmbH will initiate the restriction of processing.

  1. f) Right to Data Portability

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact an employee of Technoboxx GmbH.

  1. g) Right to Object

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object to the processing of their personal data for reasons arising from their particular situation, at any time, if such processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of objection, Technoboxx GmbH shall cease processing the personal data unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the individual, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If Technoboxx GmbH processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the individual has the right to object to the processing of their personal data for such marketing purposes at any time. This includes profiling related to such direct marketing. If the individual objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, Technoboxx GmbH will no longer process their personal data for these purposes.

Furthermore, the individual has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of their personal data by Technoboxx GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the individual may directly contact any employee of Technoboxx GmbH. Additionally, the individual is free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, using automated means where technical specifications are used.

  1. h) Automated Decisions Including Profiling

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the individual and the data controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the individual’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or (3) is made with the individual’s explicit consent.

If the decision is (1) necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the individual and the data controller, or (2) made with the individual’s explicit consent, INV Verkehrstechnik GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the individual’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If an individual wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

  1. i) Right to Withdraw Consent for Data Processing

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent for the processing of personal data at any time.

If the individual wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may do so by contacting an employee of the data controller, Technoboxx GmbH, at any time.

Data Protection Provisions on the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics involves the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data concerning the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics is predominantly used for optimizing a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The data controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” extension for web analytics via Google Analytics. With the help of this extension, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is truncated and anonymized by Google when accessing our web pages from a member state of the European Union or another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide further services associated with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google enables an analysis of the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time our web pages are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time, as described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of influence, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at www.google.com. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link.

  1. Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. On this legal basis, processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are carried out if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

  1. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

  1. Duration for Which the Personal Data will be Stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, as long as they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

  1. Legal or Contractual Obligation to Provide Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

  1. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

This data protection declaration was created using the data protection declaration generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as an external data protection officer for Munich, in cooperation with the lawyer T. Grosse.
