TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Thank you for your interest in our company. 

​

Data privacy is extremely important to the management of Castellojewels. It is possible to visit the Castellojewels website without giving out any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use particular services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will always obtain the data subject’s consent.

​

Any processing of personal data, such as a data subject’s name, address, email address or telephone number, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the country-specific data protection provisions that apply to Castellojewels. Our company’s intention with this data privacy notice is to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this data privacy notice explains what rights data subjects have.

​

As the controller responsible for the data processing, Castellojewels has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the personal data processed via this website is protected as fully as possible. However, there is always a risk of security holes occurring in online data transfers, so 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. For that reason, every data subject has the option of giving his or her personal data to us by alternative methods, for example by telephone.

​

1. Definition of terms

The Data Privacy Notice of Castellojewels is based on terminology used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Data Privacy Notice should be easy for the public, as well as our customers and business partners, to read and understand. To ensure this is the case, we would first of all like to explain the terms used.

The terms we use in this Data Privacy Notice include the following:

​

  • a) personal data

‘Personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a ‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

​

  • b) data subject

‘Data subject’ means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

​

  • c) processing

‘Processing’ means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

​

  • d) restriction of processing

‘Restriction of processing’ means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.

​​

  • e) profiling

‘Profiling’ means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

​

  • f) pseudonymisation

‘Pseudonymisation’ means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

​

  • g) controller

‘Controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

​

  • h) processor

‘Processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

​

  • i) recipient

‘Recipient’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law are not regarded as recipients.

​

  • j) third party

‘Third party’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

​

  • k) consent

‘Consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

​

2. Name and address of the controller

​

You can contact our Data Protection Officer directly by sending an email to: castellojewels@gmail.com

Website: www.castellojewels.com

​

3. Cookies

The Castellojewels website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system by a web browser.

A large number of websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique cookie identifier. It consists of a character string which websites and servers associate with the web browser on which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers that are visited to distinguish the data subject’s specific browser from other browsers that store different cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.

​

Cookies allow Castellojewels to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services, which would not be possible if cookies were not used.

Cookies enable the information and services on our website to be optimised for the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognise users when they re-visit our website. The purpose of this is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, if a user visits a website that uses cookies, he or she does not have to enter his or her login details every time he or she visits the website, because this data has been recorded by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie used for a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket.

Data subjects can disable the use of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting their browser settings and in doing so, can block the use of cookies permanently. In addition, cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all commonly-used web browsers. If a data subject disables the use of cookies in his or her browser, in some cases it may restrict the functions available on our website.

​

4. Recording general data and information

Every time the Castellojewels website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a series of general data and information is recorded. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following data and information may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which a system accesses our website (known as a ‘referrer’), (4) the sub-websites which a system accesses on our website, (5) the date and time of access, (6) an internet protocol (IP) address, (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information required for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

​

When using this general data and information, Castellojewels does not make any inferences about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure our IT systems and the website technology work properly at all times and (4) provide the information necessary for criminal prosecution to law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore Castellojewels analyses this data and information, which is collected anonymously, for statistical reasons on the one hand, and on the other hand in order to improve data protection and security at our company to ensure the highest possible protection standard for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.

​

5. Registration on our website

Data subjects have the option to register on the controller’s website by entering personal data. The data entry screen for the registration shows what personal data must be given to the controller. The personal data entered by data subjects is collected and stored solely for the controller’s own internal purposes. The controller may pass on personal data to one or more data processors, for example a parcel service provider, which will also solely use the personal data for an internal purpose that directly relates to the controller.

When a data subject registers on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned to him or her by the internet service provider (ISP) and the date and time of registration are also stored. Storing this data is essential to prevent misuse of our services, plus this data makes it possible to investigate any offences committed. In this respect, storing this data is necessary to protect the controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation or criminal investigation reason to do so.

When a data subject freely provides personal data during registration, it enables the controller to offer content or services to the data subject that by their nature can only be offered to registered users. Registered users have the right to change, at any time, the personal data they entered during registration or to have this data fully erased from the controller’s database.

On request, the controller will inform the data subject what personal data it has stored on him or her. Furthermore, the controller will rectify or erase personal data on the request or instruction of the data subject, unless the data is subject to statutory retention obligations. The data subject is welcome to contact the data protection officer specified in this Data Privacy Policy or any employee of the controller on this matter.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

​

Users of the Castellojewels website have the option of subscribing to our company’s newsletter. The data entry screen used for this purpose shows what personal data must be given to the controller in order to subscribe to the newsletter.

Castellojewels keeps its customers and business partners informed of the company’s services at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. Data subjects can only receive our company’s newsletter if (1) they have a valid email address and (2) they have registered for our newsletter subscription service. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by a data subject when he or she first subscribes to the newsletter (double opt-in procedure). The purpose of the confirmation email is to verify whether the owner of the email address (i.e. the data subject) has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

​

When a data subject subscribes to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject when registering as well as the date and time of registration. Collecting this data is necessary so that any misuse of a data subject’s email address can be traced later on; this therefore legally protects the controller.

The personal data collected for subscription to the newsletter is only used for sending our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also receive emails for information purposes if this is required for operating the newsletter service or for the related registration, for example in the event of change to the newsletter service or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected for the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Data subjects can withdraw the consent they have given us to store their personal data for the newsletter subscription service at any time. There is a link in every newsletter for withdrawing consent. Furthermore, data subjects can also unsubscribe from the newsletter service directly on the controller’s website at any time, or notify the controller of their unsubscribe request in any other way.

​

7. Contact page on the website

For legal reasons, the Castellojewels website contains information allowing visitors to the website to contact our company fast electronically and to communicate with us directly, and this includes a general electronic mail (email) address. If a data subject contacts the controller by email or using the contact form, the personal data communicated by the data subject will be stored automatically. This type of personal data, which is freely given by the data subject to the controller, is stored for the purpose of handling the enquiry or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

​

8. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller will only process and store a data subject’s personal data for the time required to achieve the purpose of the storage, or as prescribed by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or provisions that apply to the controller.

If the purpose of the storage ceases to exist or a retention period set by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked and erased in accordance with legal requirements.

​

9. Rights of the data subject

​

  • a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to confirmation, he or she can contact our data protection officer or any other employee of the controller at any time.

 

  • b) Right of access

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain access to the personal data stored about him or her from the controller, free of charge, at any time and to obtain a copy of the personal data stored. Furthermore, the European legislator has given data subjects the right to access the following information:

​

  • the purposes of the processing

  • the categories of personal data concerned

  • the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations

  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

  • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing

  • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

  • where the personal data is not collected from the data subject: any available information as to the personal data’s source

  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

​

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed of whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information regarding the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

​

If a data subject wishes to exercise his or her right of access, he or she may contact our data protection officer or any other employee of the controller at any time.

​

  • c) Right to rectification

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by way of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to rectification, he or she may contact our data protection officer or any other employee of the controller at any time.

​

  • d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not required:

​

  • The personal data was being collected or processed for purposes for which it is no longer required.

  • The data subject withdraws his or her consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

  • The personal data has been unlawfully processed.

  • The personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

  • The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

​

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes personal data stored at Castellojewels to be erased, the data subject may contact our data protection officer or any other employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of Castellojewels  or another employee will arrange for the erasure request to be acted upon without delay.

​

If Castellojewels has made the personal data public and if our company, as the controller, is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Castellojewels, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, this personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The data protection officer of Castellojewels or another employee will arrange for the necessary action to be taken on a case-by-case basis.

 

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

​

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the data’s use instead.

  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the personal data is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

​

If one of the above applies and a data subject wishes personal data stored at Castellojewels to be restricted, the data subject may contact our data protection officer or any other employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of Castellojewels or another employee will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

​

  • f) Right to data portability

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format. Every data subject also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible, provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

​

The data subject can exercise his or her right to data portability at any time by contacting the data protection officer or any other employee at Castellojewels.

​

  • g) Right to object

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also includes profiling based on those provisions.

In the event of an objection, Castellojewels will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

​

Where Castellojewels processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for such marketing. This also includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where the data subject notifiesCastellojewels of his or her objection to processing for direct marketing purposes, Castellojewels will no longer process the personal data for such purposes.

​

In addition, where personal data is processed by Castellojewels for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, the data subject, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, has the right to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

The data subject can exercise his or her right to object at any time by directly contacting the data protection officer or any other employee at Castellojewels. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may also exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

​

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, where the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Castellojewels will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If a data subject wishes to exercise his or her rights relating to automated decision-making, he or she may contact our data protection officer or any other employee of the controller at any time.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw at any time his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data.

If a data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact our data protection officer or any other employee of the controller at any time.

10. Data protection provisions pertaining to the use of Google Analytics (with the anonymisation feature)

The controller has embedded the Google Analytics component (with the anonymisation feature) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. ‘Web analytics’ means collecting, gathering and analysing data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. The data that a web analytics service collects includes the website that a data subject has come from (known as a referrer website), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for website optimisation purposes and for cost-benefit analyses of online advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.The controller uses the ‘_gat._anonymizeIp’ function for web analytics through Google Analytics. With this function, Google shortens and anonymises the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection when he or she accesses our website from a European Union Member State or another state which is party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained to analyse use of our website, create online reports for us showing activity on our web pages and to provide other services relating to use of our website, for example.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. An explanation of what cookies are is given above. When the cookie is set, it enables Google to analyse use of our website. Every time one of the pages of this website – which is operated by the controller and in which a Google Analytics component has been embedded – is accessed, the Google Analytics component automatically prompts the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system to transfer data to Google for online analysis purposes. During this process, personal data is passed on to Google, such as the data subject’s IP address, which enables Google to trace the source of visitors and clicks, for example, and then to calculate commission.

Personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the page was accessed and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored using the cookie. Every time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the USA. The personal data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may pass on the personal data collected during this procedure to third parties under certain circumstances.

The data subject can disable the use of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by adjusting his or her browser settings and in doing so, can block the use of cookies permanently. Adjusting the browser settings in this way would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted via the browser or other software programs at any time.

Furthermore, the data subject can prevent and object to the recording of data generated by Google Analytics relating to use of this website, and prevent and object to the processing of such data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on notifies Google Analytics through JavaScript that data and information regarding visits to the website cannot be transferred to Google Analytics. Google deems the installation of the browser add-on to be an objection. If the data subject’s IT system is erased, formatted or reinstalled at a later point, the data subject must install the browser add-on again in order to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or another authorised person, it is possible to reinstall or re-enable the browser add-on.

Further information and Google’s data protection policies can be viewed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in further detail here: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

12. Data protection provisions concerning YouTube.

If this occurs, we have no knowledge of nor any influence over the possible collection and use of your data by YouTube. You can find further information about YouTube’s data privacy policy here: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. In addition, please refer to our general description on the use and disabling of cookies in this data privacy notice.

13. Payment method: data protection provisions concerning PayPal as a payment method

The controller has embedded PayPal components into this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed using PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the option of processing virtual credit card payments if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed through an email address, so there is no conventional account number. PayPal enables online payments to be made to third parties, or payments to be received. PayPal also has fiduciary functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operator of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If a data subject chooses PayPal as the payment method when placing an order in our online shop, the data subject’s data is automatically transferred to PayPal. By selecting this payment method, the data subject gives his or her consent to the transfer of his or her personal data, which is required for the payment transaction.

The personal data transferred to PayPal is generally the data subject’s first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for the payment transaction. Personal data that relates to the order in question is also required in order to perform the purchase contract.

The data is transferred for the purpose of processing the payment and preventing fraud. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest for the transfer. Under certain circumstances, PayPal will also transfer the personal data shared between PayPal and the controller to credit agencies. These transfers are for the purpose of identity and credit checks.

PayPal may pass on personal data to its affiliates and service providers or subcontractors where necessary in order to meet contractual obligations or if the data is to be sub-processed.

The data subject has the right to withdraw his or her consent to the handling of his or her personal data from PayPal at any time. Such withdrawal will not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transferred for the (contractual) payment transaction.

PayPal’s applicable data privacy policies can be viewed here: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

14. Legal basis of the processing

The legal basis for data processing by our company where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose is point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR. If personal data processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, for example processing operations that are required for supplying goods or providing a service or return service, the legal basis for the processing is point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are required for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, for example in relation to enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation under which the processing of personal data is necessary, for example compliance with tax obligations, the legal basis for the processing is point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR. In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our business were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In such a case, the legal basis for the processing would be point (d) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Lastly, point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR may be a legal basis for data processing. This applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases where processing is required to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to perform processing operations such as these because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In the European legislator’s view, a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject were a client of the controller (recital 47, second sentence GDPR).

15. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the legal basis for processing personal data is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business operations to the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

16. Data retention periods

The period for retaining personal data is based on the applicable statutory retention period. After the retention period expires, the data in question will be erased routinely, unless it is still required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

17. Statutory or contractual provisions on the provision of personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; data subject’s obligation to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide data

Please note that the provision of personal data is required by law in some cases (e.g. tax regulations) or may be necessary under contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contracting party). It may sometimes be necessary when entering into a contract for a data subject to give us personal data that we must then process. For example, a data subject must give us personal data if our company is to enter into a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would make it impossible to enter into the contract with the data subject. Before a data subject gives us personal data, he or she must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will explain to the data subject, in relation to his or her own particular case, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contractually or is necessary in order to enter into a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data and what the consequences of failing to provide personal data would be.

18. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
