Data Privacy Statement

of Peters Unternehmensgruppe GmbH & Co. KG

We consider the protection of your personal data to be a very serious matter. You can therefore rest assured that we always handle your personal data in accordance with statutory data protection regulations. We have commissioned a reliable and highly competent external Data Protection Officer appointed by the company UIMC Dr. Voßbein GmbH & Co KG. In this statement, we would like to inform you about how we process personal data.

Collection and processing of personal data
You can generally use our website without revealing your identity. If we ask for your personal data (e.g. your name, address or e-mail address) on our website, for example on contact forms or when signing in/registering, you can choose to provide these data on a voluntary basis. We use the information provided for our own business-related purposes (for example to send you the materials/information requested).

If you have any questions, we offer you the option of contacting us via a contact form provided on our website. We require the data marked as mandatory on this form in order to allocate and answer your enquiry. Other details can be provided on a voluntary basis. The processing of data for the purpose of contacting our company occurs in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on the basis of your consent given on a voluntary basis.

The personal data that we collect when you use our contact form will be deleted after we have dealt with your en-quiry and after the expiry of our obligations to retain data according to fiscal and commercial law. Once you have granted consent, for example for the purpose of being sent our newsletter or other interesting infor-mation from our company, you are entitled to withdraw this consent with effect for the future at any time and without specifying any reason. To do so, you can use the contact form mentioned above or follow the instructions on with-drawing consent provided in our newsletter.

Every time you access our website, records are produced and processed for statistical purposes. Individual users re-main anonymous in these records, which log the following information:

• Referrer (the page containing the link via which you accessed this website)
• Search terms (in search engines acting as referrers)
• Your IP address is evaluated in order to determine the country of origin and the provider
• Browser, operating system, installed plug-ins and screen resolution
• How much time you spend on our web pages
  
  

The data specified above are processed by us on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 par-agraph 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for the following purposes:

We reserve the right to check these data at a later point in time if we become aware of concrete indications of unlaw-ful use of the website. The data will be deleted immediately when they are no longer required in order to fulfil the specified purposes and after six months at the latest.

Disclosure of data
We generally do not pass on your data to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes without your explic-it consent. We only pass on your personal data to third parties when this is permitted [e.g. on the basis of Article 6 GDPR] and/or required by law. In some instances, we use service providers for the legally stipulated order pro-cessing of data; our website is therefore hosted by jweiland.net and maintained by the company Freitag! Werbea-gentur und Verlag GmbH. Nevertheless, we remain fully responsible for the processing of data. We also use plug-ins from other providers on some of the pages of our website. More information on these plug-ins can be found below.

Liability for our own content
A great deal of care was taken when producing the content of this website. We cannot, however, provide any guaran-tee for the correctness, completeness and topicality of this content. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on this website according to general legislation.

Liability for links (content of third-party providers)
A distinction must be made between our own content and links to content published by other providers. We have no influence on content published by other providers; the respective providers or operators of these linked third-party websites are responsible for their content.

Rights of data subjects
We hereby inform you that you have the right to receive information on your personal data processed by our compa-ny, to correct or delete these data or to restrict the processing or a right to object to the processing and the right to data portability in accordance with Article 15 ff. GDPR and under the circumstances that it defines. In accordance with Article 77 GDPR, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the Regulation. If the processing is based on Article 6 para-graph 1 lit. a GDPR or Article 9 paragraph 2 lit. a GDPR (Consent), you additionally have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with no impact on the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up until you withdraw this consent.

Amendments to our data protection provisions
We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this Data Privacy Statement in order to ensure that it constantly complies with the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the Data Privacy Statement, for exam-ple in the case of the introduction of new services. The new Data Privacy Statement will then apply next time you visit our website.
