Introduction

Bartscher GmbH (hereinafter: “We”) is the responsible party, as operator of the online service, for processing the user’s personal data from the online service. You can find our contact data in the legal notice of the online service, and the names of contacts for issues regarding the processing of personal data are directly provided in this data protection declaration.

We take the protection of your private sphere and private data very seriously. We only collect, save and use your personal data in compliance with the contents of this data protection declaration as well as applicable data protection law regulations, especially the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the national data protection regulations.

With this data protection declaration, we want to inform you of the extent and purpose regarding the processing of your personal data in association with use of the online service.

Personal data
Personal data is information about an identified or identifiable individual. This includes all information about your identity, such as your name, email address or postal address. Information that cannot be associated with your identity (statistics, for example, such as the number of users of an online service) does not count as personal information.

You can generally use our online service without disclosing your identity and without entering any personal data. Only general information about your visit to our online service shall then be collected. However, personal data will be collected from you for some of the services offered. This data shall generally only be processed by us for the purpose of using this online service, and especially for providing the required information. Only essential data must be provided as mandatory data in the collection of personal data. Further details may be possible in addition, but these are voluntary details. We point out in each case whether they are mandatory or voluntary details. We provide specific details in the corresponding section of this data protection declaration.

Automated decision-making on the basis of your personal data does not take place in association with use of our online service.

Processing of personal information
Your details will be saved on specially protected servers within the European Union. These are protected with technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your data is only possible by a few, authorized persons. These are responsible for technical, commercial or editorial server support. Despite regular controls, full protection against all dangers is not possible.

Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted via the Internet. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for data transfer.

Transfer of personal data to third parties
We generally only use your personal information to provide the services you request. If external service providers are commissioned by us to provide a service, their access to the data is exclusively for the purposes of providing the service. We employ technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance with the data protection law specifications and we also obligate our external service providers to do the same.

Legal basis of data processing
If we obtain your consent for processing your personal data, art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as a legal basis for data processing.

If we process your personal data because it is necessary to fulfil the contract or within the scope of contract-like relationship with you, art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as a legal basis for data processing.

If we process your personal data to fulfil a legal obligation, art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as a legal basis for data processing.

Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f) GDPR can also be considered as a legal basis for data processing if processing your personal data is necessary to ensure the justified interests of our company or a third party and if your interests, basic rights and basic freedoms do not require the protection of personal data.

As part of this data protection declaration, we always point out on which legal basis the processing of your personal data is based.

Data deletion and storage period
We generally always delete or block your personal data when the purpose of storage no longer applies. Further storage can however take place if foreseen by legal stipulations we are subjected to, such as with regard to legal storage and documentation obligations. In such cases, we delete or block your personal data after the end of the corresponding stipulations.

Credit check
If we pay in advance, we reserve the right to order credit rating information based on mathematical-statistical procedures from the following company(ies) to safeguard our legitimate interests:

For a credit rating, we send personal data and use the information we receive about the statistical probability of a payment default. The credit rating information may contain probability values (score values) calculated based on scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures. Using a number of markers, for instance income, address data, career, marital status and previous payment behavior, the future payment default risk of the customer can be estimated. The result is presented as a number (a so-called score). This information collected in this way forms the basis for our decision about the justification, execution or termination of the contractual relationship.

However, the selection of one of the payment options does not depend on this kind of information.

The legal basis for the credit check is art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
