Datenschutz | Mosáico

Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH. It is generally possible to use the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by 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 person concerned.

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 Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, 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 the rights they are entitled to by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH 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 can generally have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Definitions

The data protection declaration of the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy statement, we use the following terms, among others:

a) Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “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 particular characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

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

c) Processing

Processing is any process carried out with or without the aid of automated processes or any such series of processes in connection with personal data, such as collecting, organizing, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, using, disclosing through transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

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

e) Profiling

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Responsible person or person responsible for processing

The person responsible or responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

j) Third party

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

The Internet pages of the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous 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 string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited 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.

Through the use of cookies, the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his login data every 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 from a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

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. In addition, cookies that have already been 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.

Collection of general data and information

The website of the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that 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 serves to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimize the content of our website and advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the controller's website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing is determined by the respective input mask that is used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the person responsible for processing and for its own purposes. The person responsible for processing may arrange for the transfer to one or more order processors, such as a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the person responsible for processing, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored in view of the fact that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, enables this data to solve crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the person responsible for processing. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the transfer is for law enforcement purposes.

The registration of the data subject, voluntarily providing personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data set of the person responsible for processing.

The controller shall provide any data subject with information on request at any time as to which personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the person responsible for processing corrects or deletes personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that there are no legal storage requirements to the contrary. All employees of the person responsible for processing are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

Contact option via the website

The website of the Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company and 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 by email or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data provided voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

Comment function in the blog on the website

Mosaico Zementfliesen GmbH offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more people called bloggers or web bloggers can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information about the time the comment was entered and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. In addition, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the personal interest of the person responsible for processing, so that he could exculpate himself in the event of a violation of the law. There will be no transfer of this collected personal data to third parties unless such transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the person responsible for processing.

Routine deletion 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 if this has been provided for by the European legislator of directives and regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could 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 then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the person responsible or a third party

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

Duration for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. At the end of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.

Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of 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 what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

Existence of automated decision-making

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