Handling of personal data

We collect personal data in the framework of data avoidance and data minimization to such an extent and for such a period as it is required for the use of our website and the services offered there or as long as prescribed by the legislator. We take the privacy of your personal data very serious and strictly abide to the respective legal regulations and to this data privacy notice when it comes to the collection and processing of personal data. If the purpose of data collection ceases to apply or if the maximum storage period has expired the collected data will be blocked or erased.

Our website can regularly be used without the circulation of personal data. When we collect personal data – such as your name, your address or your email-address – these data are collected on an optional basis. Such data will not be circulated to any third party without your explicitly given consent.

Please note that, in general, data are not always safely circulated in the internet. Especially when it comes to email correspondence, a full protection during data exchange cannot be guaranteed.

 

Purpose of processing

The processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the regulations of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG):

 

  • Due to your consent (Article 6, para. 1a GDPR)

The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.

  • For the performance of a contract (Article 6, para. 1b GDPR)

Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

  • Due to compliance with legal obligation (Article 6, para. 1c GDPR)

Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

  • For the purpose of legitimate interest (Article 6, para. 1f GDPR)

Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

 

Withdrawal of given consent

According to Article 7, para. 3 GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to completely withdraw or change his or her consent regarding the processing of personal data for one or more specific purposes at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If not offered via special functions, you can send us your withdrawal either by post, email or by using our contact form on our website. There will be no other costs for you than the postal charges or the transfer costs in compliance with the currently valid basic tariffs.

 

Data collection at third parties

If, in connection with our brand, our product or our company, personal data are collected, stored, processed at third parties and are circulated to us for a certain purpose, the transfer of such data to us is especially subject to the lawfulness of the respective collector. If data is sent to us (e.g. in connection with brochures of our company ordered on kitchen information platforms on the internet), we assume consent of the data subject regarding the circulation to and processing by our company. Hereby, however, we only accept data transfers and process them if they come from authorized sources known to us due to active business relationships.

 

Circulation of data

For the purpose of fulfilment of our contractual and statutory obligations or also services required by the user, business partners assigned by our company – such as a processor (Article 28 GDPR) will be granted access to your data.

Should a data subject explicitly request the communication of contact data between this data subject and a business partner of our company due to initial approaches of a purchase contract, such business partner receives the personal data of the data subject in line with the framework information concerning the intended purchase. Should you request the erasure of your data we will forward your request to the previous recipient for its information with the request to evaluate the lawfulness of a continued storage of data on its part.

 

Transfer of data into a third-party country or to an international organisation

There will only be a transfer of data into third-party countries if this is necessary for order fulfilment or statutory or if the data subject has given his or her consent.

 

Maximum storage period of data

If necessary, we process and store your personal data for the period required for the fulfilment of the respective purpose for which consent to data processing has been given.

Apart from that, we are subject to certain retention and documentation obligations resulting from the German Commercial Code (HGB), amongst others. The maximum retention or documentation periods respectively indicated there are two to ten years.

 

Contact form 

If you send us your enquiry via our contact form, your data of the enquiry form plus the contact data entered there will be stored in order to process your enquiry and in case of later enquiries. These data will not be given to any third party without your consent.

Explanations regarding the data subjects’ rights

As a user of our website, the data subject is entitled – upon proof of their identity – at any time and free of charge to access the data stored about the data subject and for the purpose of storage (Article 15 GDPR).
