3. General notes and mandatory information

Data privacy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice on the responsible entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Contegy GmbH
Ganghoferstraße 68b
80339 Munich

Email info@contegy.de
Phone: +49 (0) 1512. 050 97 17

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not provide adequate data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries.

For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the affected person, being able to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously granted consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and Against Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to request that data we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract be provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

SSL and TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL and TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address bar from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

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

Access, deletion and correction

You have the right to obtain free information at any time about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correction or deletion of this data, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time regarding this and for any further questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

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

If you dispute the accuracy of your stored personal data with us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed—apart from storage—with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

This website integrates features from the Instagram service. These features are provided by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of this website to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how Instagram uses it.

The storage and analysis of data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in achieving as broad a visibility as possible on social media. If consent has been requested, processing will occur exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and transmitted to Facebook or Instagram, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Article 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transmission to Facebook or Instagram. The subsequent processing by Facebook or Instagram is not part of the joint responsibility. Our joint obligations have been documented in an agreement on joint processing. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook or Instagram tools and for implementing the tools on our website in compliance with data protection regulations. Facebook is responsible for the data security of the Facebook or Instagram products. Data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook or Instagram can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here:

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data will be collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We will use this data solely for sending the requested information and will not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or until the newsletter service provider deletes it after you have unsubscribed or after the purpose has been fulfilled. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion, in accordance with our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data.

This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
