3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
We will process your personal data such as your name, first name, email address and IP address etc. only if there is a legal basis for doing so. According to the General Data Protection Regulation, there are three provisions which are particularly relevant in relation to this:
- You have given us your consent for the processing of your personal data for one or more purposes, in accordance with article 6 para. 1 a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You will be informed in detail by us of the purpose(s) of the data processing, and the documentation of your express consent will be held by us.
- Your data may be processed for the performance of contractual commitments, or in order to take measures prior to entering into a contract with you, in accordance with article 6 para. 1 b) of the GDPR.
- The processing of personal data may also take place where it is necessary for the legitimate interests of the controller, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms, in accordance with article 6 para. 1 f) of the GDPR.
We will, however, at the relevant point always direct you to the legal basis on which the processing of your data takes place.
4. Transfer of personal data
We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those which are listed below. We will only transfer your personal data to third parties if:
- You have given your express consent to this, in accordance with article 6 para. 1 a) of the GDPR,
- the transfer according to article 6 para. 1 f) of the GDPR is necessary for the enforcement, execution or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
- there is a legal obligation to transfer your data according to article 6 para. 1 c) of the GDPR,
- it is legally permissible and according to article 6 para. 1 b) of the GDPR is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.
5. Period of storage and deletion of data
We store all personal data which you provide only for as long as necessary in order to fulfil the purposes for which the data has been transferred, or as long as is required by law. Once the purpose has been fulfilled, or the statutory storage period has expired, the data will either be erased or blocked by us.
6. SSL Encryption
This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential information such as the inquiries which you send to us as the website operator. You can see that the connection is secure when the address line in the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and also when you see the lock symbol in your browser line. If the SSL encryption is active, data which has been transferred to us cannot be read by third parties.
7. Collection and storage of personal data, including type and purpose of use
a) Visiting the website
When you access our website, information is automatically sent to our website server by the browser on your end device. This information will be temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following data is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:
• IP address of the inquiring computer
• Date and time of access
• Name and URL of the accessed file
• Website from which the access was made (Referrer URL)
• the browser which was used, and where appropriate the operating system of your computer as well as the name of the access provider.
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:
• ensuring a smooth connection set-up with the website
• ensuring a user-friendly dialogue with the website
• analysis of system security and stability
• for other administrative purposes.
Data which can be attributed to your person, such as the IP address, will be deleted after 7 days at the latest. If data is stored for longer than this, then the data will be anonymised so that it can no longer be traced to you.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is article 6 para. 1 f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the above-listed data collection purposes. In no way do we use the collected data for the purpose of making inferences about you.
b) Conclusion of contract
In the context of the establishment of the contractual relationship, in accordance with article 6 para.1 b) of the GDPR, only personal data which is essential for the execution of the contract will be processed.
If you provide any additional voluntary information, this will only be processed on the basis of your explicit consent in accordance with article 6 para. 1 a) of the GDPR. We use this voluntary information to provide a customer-friendly service, and to constantly improve it.
c) Newsletter
Content of newsletter and registration data
We will only send you a newsletter if you have requested us to do so and you have provided your consent in accordance with article 6 para. 1 a) of the GDPR, or for legitimate interests in relation to marketing purposes in accordance with article 6 para. 1 f) of the GDPR.
The newsletters contain customer information if new sector reports have been published. To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. If you provide further voluntary information such as your name and/or gender, then this information will be used exclusively for the purpose of personalising the newsletters which are sent to you.
Cancellation
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, then you can withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter in future at any time. In order to do this, you can click on the unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter or you can send an email to the following email address: info@marketmedia24.de. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to the withdrawal.
d) Contact form/email contact
You can contact us at any time by filling in the form available on our website. In order to use the contact form, the provision of a name is required for a personal salutation, and a valid email address is necessary in order that we can respond appropriately, knowing from whom the inquiry has come. If you contact us using the form on the website, the information which you provide in the form, including your contact details, and your IP address will be processed in accordance with article 6 para. 1 b) of the GDPR for the purpose of carrying out pre-contractual measures in response to your inquiry, or for the exercise of our legitimate interest, namely carrying out our business activities.
You are of course welcome to send us an email instead, using the address on our website. In this instance, we will store and process your email address and the information provided in the email in accordance with article 6 para. 1 b) and 1 f). of the GDPR, in order to process your inquiry. The inquiries and the associated data will be deleted after a period of 3 months at the latest, unless they are required for a further contractual relationship.
