2. Data Collection, Data Processing and Data Use

a) When Visiting Our Website

When you access our website, you transmit data to our web server via your internet browser for technical reasons. The following data are recorded during an active connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
 

• Date and time of the request
• Name and URL of the requested file
• Website from which the file was requested (referrer URL)
• Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
• Web browser and operating system used
• Full IP address of the requesting computer
• Amount of data transferred

For reasons of technical security, particularly to prevent attempted attacks on our web server, we store these data temporarily. These data do not allow us to identify individual persons. The data are not processed for statistical purposes. The data are not compared with other data records or disclosed to third parties, including in extracts.

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

• Ensuring that a smooth connection to the website is established
• Ensuring convenient use of our website
• Evaluating system security and stability
• Other administrative purposes

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6(1), sentence 1, point (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you as an individual. The collection of these data is also necessary for the proper provision of our web service to you. The use of our website is therefore deemed to constitute consent to the storage and use of the aforementioned data.

b) Contacting Us by E-mail

If you contact us by e-mail, we will collect, process and use your personal data—your e-mail address and, where applicable, your name and telephone number—solely for the purpose of processing your enquiry. We will delete the data arising in this context once their storage is no longer necessary or restrict their processing if statutory retention obligations apply. Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1), sentence 1, point (a) GDPR on the basis of your freely given consent.

c) Disclosure of Personal Data

When processing your enquiry, it may be necessary for us to disclose your personal data to other affiliated companies of the Elevion Group or to external service providers acting exclusively on our behalf. We require all affiliated companies of the Elevion Group and its external service providers to use your personal data exclusively in accordance with our instructions, this Privacy Policy and the statutory requirements governing processing on behalf of a controller within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. Personal data are not transferred to recipients outside the EU/EEA.

Otherwise, we neither disclose personal data to third parties without your instruction nor sell or rent data. We therefore disclose your personal data to third parties only if:

• You have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1), sentence 1, point (a) GDPR
• Disclosure is necessary in accordance with Art. 6(1), sentence 1, point (f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in your data not being disclosed
• There is a legal obligation to disclose the data in accordance with Art. 6(1), sentence 1, point (c) GDPR, and disclosure is legally permissible and necessary in accordance with Art. 6(1), sentence 1, point (b) GDPR for the performance of contractual relationships with you

9. Data Security

To protect the personal data we hold about you against unauthorised access and misuse, we have implemented extensive technical and organisational measures. Access to the security measures is restricted to a small number of specially authorised persons responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial management of the servers. Our security procedures are reviewed regularly and adapted in line with technological developments. Should a breach of the security of your personal data nevertheless occur, we will notify you immediately to the extent required. During your visit to our website, we use the widely adopted SSL method (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is generally 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can determine whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed key or padlock symbol displayed in the lower status bar of your browser.

For transport encryption, our website uses HTTPS with Perfect Forward Secrecy and the current TLS 1.2 encryption protocol. We recommend keeping your internet browser up to date to ensure the secure transmission of your data. If contact forms are used, the data collected through the forms are also transmitted to us in encrypted form. Only we are able to decrypt these data.
