We will only process your personal data, such as your given/family name, email address, and IP address, if a legal basis for such processing exists. In this respect, three provisions in terms of the General Data Protection Regulation must be considered:

a) You have granted us your consent for the processing of personal data for one or mDatenschutzerklärung DSGVO rplast.de_bearb.docxore purposes (Art. 6(1) sent. 1 point (a) of the GDPR). In this regard, we will comprehensively inform you about the purpose(s) of the data processing and document your express consent.

b) The processing of your personal data is required for fulfilling a contract or for performing precontractual measures with you (Art. 6(1) sent. 1 point (b) of the GDPR).

c) The processing of your personal data is required for protecting our legitimate interests, unless your interests, basic rights, and basic freedoms override them (Art. 6(1) sent. 1 point (f) of the GDPR).

With this Privacy Policy, we inform you once again, in terms of the relevant situations, about the legal basis on which your personal data are processed.

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties for any purposes other than those listed below. We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

a) you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1) sent. 1 point (a) of the GDPR;

b) disclosure is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sent. 1 point (f) of the GDPR in order to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims and if there is no reason to assume that you have an outweighing legitimate interest in the nondisclosure of your data;

c) a legal obligation to disclosure in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sent. 1 point (c) of the GDPR exists;

d) doing so is legally permissible and, pursuant to Art. 6(1) sent. 1 point (b) of the GDPR, necessary for the execution of contractual relationship with you.

We will store the personal data that you provide to us only for as long as this is required to fulfill the purposes for which they were provided, or for as long as the law requires us to do so. Upon the fulfillment of the purpose and/or the expiration of the statutory storage period, we will erase or block your data.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line in the browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be accessed by third parties.

a) When visiting our website

When accessing our website, the browser used on your device will automatically send information to the server that hosts our website. This information will be stored temporarily in a so-called “log file”. The following information is collected in this process without any manual input from you and will be stored until automatic erasure:

• IP address of the accessing computer;
• Date and time of access;
• Name and URL of the file accessed;
• Website the access request originates from (referrer URL);
• The browser used and, as the case may be, the operating system of your computer, and the name of your access provider.

We will process the stated data for the following purposes:

• guaranteeing a smooth connection to the website;
• guaranteeing the comfortable use of our website;
• evaluating the system security and stability;
• for other administrative purposes.

Data identifying you, such as your IP address, will be erased after 7 days at the latest. If we store such data for longer periods, it will be pseudonymized so that your personal identification is no longer possible.

The legal basis of the data processing is Art. 6(1) sent. 1 point (f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data processing that are listed above. Under no circumstances will we use collected data to draw conclusions regarding your person.

b) Use of Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps API. Through the use of Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) can be transferred to a server of Google (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043) in the USA and stored there.

Google may also transfer the information obtained by the Maps feature to third parties, to the extent that this is required under the applicable law or to the extent that third parties process such data on behalf of Google. Your IP address will not be combined with other data of Google under any circumstances. We must inform you, however, that it may be technically possible for Google to be able to identify individual users on the basis of the data received.

We have no influence on whether your personal data and personal profile will be processed by Google for other purposes. If you wish to prevent this from taking place, you can deactivate the Google Maps service and therefore prevent the transfer of your data to Google. To do this, all you need to do is to deactivate JavaScript in your browser. In this case, no data will be transferred, but you will no longer be able to use the map that is displayed on our website.

The use of Google Maps constitutes a service provided to you so that you are able to find our specific location and plan your visit to us better, if necessary. The use of Google Maps is therefore based on our legitimate interests in terms of Art. 6 (1) sent. 1 point (f) of the GDPR.
