Terminology used

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “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 (e.g. cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.

“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 ensuring that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

“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.

“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.

For what purpose do we generally process your personal data?

We process your personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The storage and processing of your data is permitted for us if one of the following conditions is met:

Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases of our data processing. Where the legal basis is not stated in the privacy policy, the following applies: the legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing to perform our services and carry out contractual measures as well as to respond to enquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing to comply with our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, and taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access to, input, disclosure, availability and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the deletion of data and responses to threats to the data. In addition, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).

Are your data disclosed to other companies of Lange Consulting S.R.L. or to third parties?

We only disclose or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the service you have requested, is required for billing purposes, or if you have consented beforehand. Within the scope of processing on our behalf pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, we pass on your data to service providers who support us in our business activities. Our service providers are strictly bound by our instructions and are subject to corresponding contractual obligations.

One example of such disclosure is Umzugsauktionen GmbH & Co. KG. When you use our service to request moving quotes, your request data is forwarded to Umzugsauktionen GmbH & Co. KG in order to provide you with suitable offers. Umzugsauktionen GmbH & Co. KG is obliged to handle your data in accordance with data protection law and to use it only for the purpose of preparing offers.

Third parties

In certain cases we engage external service providers or affiliated companies that process data for us on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. These service providers are contractually bound as processors under the strict requirements of the GDPR and may not use your data for any other purposes. Examples of such service providers include IT service companies that manage our servers and databases, or marketing agencies that run our advertising campaigns. A further example is Umzugsauktionen GmbH & Co. KG, which prepares moving quotes for you on our behalf.

The transfer of data to processors takes place on the basis of Art. 28(1) GDPR or, in the alternative, on the basis of our legitimate interest in the economic and technical advantages arising from cooperation with specialised processors, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Where we are legally obliged to do so, or where this is permissible under data protection law, we transfer personal data to authorities such as the police or public prosecutor’s office (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR). The disclosure of such data takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in combating abuse, prosecuting criminal offences, and securing, asserting and enforcing claims, provided that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not prevail, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Transfers to third countries

Where we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or where this happens in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this only takes place if it is done to perform our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to statutory or contractual permissions, we only process, or have processed, data in a third country where the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. This means that processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

Rights of data subjects

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether the data in question is being processed, and to information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.

In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request the completion of the data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.

In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request that the data in question be erased without delay, or alternatively, in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, to request a restriction of the processing of the data.

You have the right to request that the data concerning you which you have provided to us be received in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, and to demand its transfer to other controllers.

You also have the right, pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw consent granted, pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR, with effect for the future.

Right to object

You may object to the future processing of the data concerning you at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. The objection may be made in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes.

Cookies and right to object to direct marketing

“Cookies” are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Different information can be stored within cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online offering. Temporary cookies, also referred to as “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. Cookies are described as “permanent” or “persistent” if they remain stored even after the browser is closed. In this way, for example, the login status can be stored if users visit again after several days. Likewise, such a cookie can store the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. A “third-party cookie” is a cookie offered by providers other than the controller operating the online offering (otherwise, if it is only the latter’s cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this within our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. Excluding cookies may lead to functional limitations of this online offering.

A general objection to the use of cookies deployed for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, above all in the case of tracking, via the US-based website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in that case not all functions of this online offering may be usable.

Deletion of data

The data processed by us is deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated within this privacy policy, the data stored by us is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and no statutory retention obligations preclude deletion. Where the data is not deleted because it is required for other, legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

Under statutory requirements in Germany, retention takes place in particular for 10 years pursuant to Sections 147(1) AO, 257(1)(1) and (4), (4) HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and for 6 years pursuant to Section 257(1)(2) and (3), (4) HGB (business letters).

Under statutory requirements in Austria, retention takes place in particular for 7 years pursuant to Section 132(1) BAO (accounting documents, vouchers/invoices, accounts, receipts, business papers, statement of income and expenditure, etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate, and for 10 years for documents relating to electronically supplied services, telecommunications, broadcasting and television services provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU member states and for which the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) is used.

Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management

We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as the organisation of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The processing affects customers, prospective customers, business partners and website visitors. The purpose of and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organisation and archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our duties and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information provided for these processing activities.

In this context we disclose or transfer data to the tax authorities, advisers such as tax advisers or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, on the basis of our business interests, we store information about suppliers, organisers and other business partners, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this predominantly company-related data permanently.

Participation in affiliate partner programmes

Within our online offering, on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering) pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, we use industry-standard tracking measures insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. Below we explain the technical background to users.

The services offered by our contractual partners may also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, where, for example, links or services of third parties are offered after a contract is concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission if users follow the affiliate links and subsequently take up the offers.

In summary, it is necessary for our online offering that we can track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available with us subsequently take up the offers as a result of the affiliate links or our online platform. To this end, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented with certain values that can be set as part of the link or otherwise, e.g. in a cookie. These values include, in particular, the originating website (referrer), the time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking-specific values such as advertising-medium ID, partner ID and categorisations.

The online identifiers of users used by us are pseudonymous values. This means that the online identifiers themselves do not contain personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us to determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or expressed interest in an offer via our online offering took up the offer, i.e. for example concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online identifier is personal insofar as the partner company and we too have the online identifier together with other user data. Only in this way can the partner company tell us whether that user took up the offer and we can, for example, pay out the bonus.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g. by email, telephone or via social media), the user’s details are processed to handle the contact request and its processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The user’s details may be stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable request organisation.

We delete the requests once they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; the statutory archiving obligations also apply.

Hosting and email dispatch

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email dispatch, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process master data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, prospective customers and visitors of this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).

Collection of access data and log files

We, or our hosting provider, collect data on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, the referrer URL (the previously visited page), the IP address and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to investigate abuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

Personal data

Personal data is information that can be used to ascertain a person’s identity. This includes information such as real name, address, postal address and telephone number. Information that is not directly associated with the real identity (such as favourite websites or the number of users of a site) is not covered by this. In principle, you can use our online offering without disclosing your identity. If you decide to register, i.e. sign up as a member (registered user), you can store personal information in your individual user profile. It is at your free discretion whether this data is entered. Since we try to collect as little personal data as possible for use of the offering, registration only requires the provision of a name – under which you are listed as a member and which need not match your real name – and the provision of the email address to which the password is sent. In connection with access to our pages, data (for example IP address, date, time and pages viewed) is stored on the server side. No personal exploitation takes place. The right to statistical evaluation of anonymised data sets is reserved. We use the personal data for the purposes of the technical administration of the websites and for customer management only to the extent required in each case. Beyond this, personal data is only stored if it is provided voluntarily.

Disclosure of personal data

We use personal information only for this website. We do not pass the information on to third parties without express consent. Should data be passed on to service providers in the context of commissioned data processing, they are bound by the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), other statutory provisions and this privacy policy. The collection and transfer of personal data to state institutions and authorities only takes place within the framework of mandatory legal provisions.

Integration of third-party services and content

Within our online offering, on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), we use content or service offerings from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavour to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and further details about the use of our online offering, and may also be combined with such information from other sources.

Children

Persons under the age of 18 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

Right of withdrawal

If you have provided us with personal data, you can change and delete it again at any time in your user profile. For complete deletion of the account, please contact the webmaster. Contributions made up to that point in forums, comments, event announcements and articles may, however, remain under certain circumstances – information on this can also be found in the general terms of use.

Links to other websites

Our online offering contains links to other websites. We have no influence over whether their operators comply with data protection regulations.

Contributions

The contributions on our site are accessible to everyone. Before publication, contributions should be carefully checked to ensure they do not contain any information not intended for the public. The contributions may be recorded by search engines and may also be accessible worldwide without specifically calling up this website.

Questions and comments

For questions and for suggestions and comments on the subject of data protection, please contact the webmaster of Umzug-Magdeburg.com by email.

Right to information

You have the right at any time to obtain information about the data stored concerning your person, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. Information about the stored data is provided by the company:

Security notice

We endeavour to store your personal data by taking all technical and organisational measures in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. When communicating by email, complete data security cannot be guaranteed by us, so for confidential information we recommend the postal route.
