3. General information about data processing, legal basis
We only process the personal data of users in accordance with the relevant data protection provisions. This means that user data is only processed if this is legally permitted, i.e. in particular if the data must (by law) be processed for the provision of contractual services (e.g. implementation of engagements) as well as online and other services, if the user has provided consent, and on the basis of Campana & Schott's justified interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and efficient operation and security of the online offering in terms of Art. 6 para. 1 f. DSGVO, or on the basis of sec. 15 (3) TMG (Telemedia Act)) until the application of the DSGVO, particularly with regard to measuring the degree of coverage, the development of profiles for advertising and marketing purposes, and the collection of access data and the use of third-party services.
With regard to the processing of personal data on the basis of the data protection regulation (DSGVO), which goes into effect on 25 May 2018, please note that the legal basis for the items below is as follows: Art. 6 para. 1 a and Art. 7 DSGVO for consent, Art. 6 para. 1 b DSGVO for the processing of data to render services and implement contractual measures of Campana & Schott, Art. 6 para. 1 c DSGVO for the processing of data to meet Campana & Schott’s legal obligations, and Art. 6 para. 1 f DSGVO for the processing of data to protect the justified interests of Campana & Schott.
Insofar as reference is made to justified interests as defined by Art. 6 para. 1 f. DSGVO in the context of the Data Privacy Statement, sec. 28 (1) sent. 1 no. 2 and sec. 15 (3) TMG apply as the legal basis for Campana & Schott’s justified interests until the DSGVO goes into effect on 25 May 2018.

4. Security measures
We implement organizational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of technology to ensure that the provisions of the data protection laws are adhered to, and also to protect the data that is processed by Campana & Schott against incidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorized access.
The security measures include in particular the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and the Campana & Schott servers.

5. Forwarding of data to third parties and third-party providers
Data is only forwarded to third parties in line with the statutory provisions. User data will only be forwarded to third parties if this is required for e.g. settlement purposes, or for other purposes that are required to meet Campana & Schott’s contractual obligations vis-a-vis the users.
In the event we engage subcontractors with the provision of services, we will implement suitable legal precautions that are required under Art. 28 DSGVO, along with the corresponding technical and organizational measures, to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions.
Where contents, tools or other resources are used by other providers (hereafter jointly “third-party providers”) in the context of this Data Privacy Statement, and those providers are based in a third country, it will be assumed that data will be transferred into the residence country of the third-party providers. Third countries are countries in which the DSGVO is not a directly applicable law, i.e. usually countries outside of the EU or European Economic Area. Data will only be transferred to third countries if a suitable level of data protection can be warranted, if the users have consented to the transfer, or if this transfer is permitted under the law.

6. Rights of users
Users have the right to request and receive information about the personal data that Campana & Schott has stored about them. In addition, users also have the right to have incorrect data corrected, to restrict the processing of their personal data and to have the same deleted, where applicable, to assert their rights to data portability and, in the event of suspected unlawful data processing, to submit a complaint to the supervisory authority in charge (Der Hessische Datenschutzbeauftragte, Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1, 65189 Wiesbaden).
Similarly, users may in general also withdraw previously granted consent with future effect. An e-mail or letter sent to the addresses noted under section 10 , or a notification using the contact form noted in section 10, is deemed sufficient for this purpose. Data processing activities that have been carried out on the basis of your consent are deemed lawful until receipt of the withdrawal notice.

7. Right of objection
Users can object to the future processing of their personal data at any time in accordance with the legal requirements. Objections may be raised in particular with regard to the processing of data for direct advertising purposes. An e-mail or letter sent to the addresses noted under section 10 is deemed sufficient for this purpose.

8. Deletion of data
The data stored at Campana & Schott will be deleted once it is no longer required for the intended purpose, and if the deletion of the data is not opposed by statutory retention obligations. The processing of user data will be restricted if the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes. That is, the data will be blocked and not processed for any other purpose. This applies to e.g. user data that must be stored in compliance with commercial or tax laws.
According to the legal requirements, data is stored for six years pursuant to sec. 257 (1) HGB (German Commercial Code) (account books, inventories, opening balances, annual financial statements, business letters, posting documents etc.), and for ten years pursuant to sec. 147 (1) AO (German Fiscal Code) (ledgers, records, management reports, posting documents, business letters, documents relevant for tax purposes etc.).

9. Collection of access data
Based on the justified interests of Campana & Schott, we collect data about each access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). Access data includes in particular the name of the accessed website, the file, the date and time of access, the transmitted data volumes, the successful access report, browser type with version, the user's operating system, the referrer URL (the previously visited website), the IP address and the requesting provider.
We only use the log data - which is not allocated to the user's person or used for other profiling purposes - in accordance with the statutory provisions for statistical analysis for the purpose of operating, securing and optimizing the online service of Campana & Schott. At the same time, Campana & Schott reserves the right to subsequently audit the log data if there are concrete indications of suspected illegal use.
For security reasons (e.g. to verify abuse or fraudulent actions) Campana & Schott stores log file information for a maximum of seven days, after which the information is deleted. Data that must continue to be stored for evidence purposes is exempt from the deletion until such time as the respective incident has been fully solved.

to process and complete the contact inquiry;
to support the internal business purposes of Campana & Schott, namely data analyses, revisions, the development of new products, improving this website, improving Campana & Schott services, identifying trends of use and determining the effectiveness of Campana & Schott advertising campaigns;

On the order of Campana & Schott, Google will use the transmitted information to analyze your use of the website, prepare reports about the activities on the website and, if applicable, perform other services associated with the use of the website. The shortened IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with any other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by making the corresponding settings in your browser software; however, please note that this may prevent you from being able to use all functions of the portal.
