General information on data processing
Scope of processing of personal data
We collect and use personal data of users of our homepage only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, our content, and services.
As a matter of principle, the collection and use of our users' personal data only takes place with their consent. An exception to this principle applies in cases where the processing of data is permitted by law or where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for practical reasons.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally derived from:
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR when obtaining consent from the data subject.
Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for processing operations that serve to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also includes processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR for processing that is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.
Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR if the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest. In order to be able to base the processing of personal data on a legitimate interest, a review is carried out for each relevant process in consultation with the data protection officer, whereby the following three conditions must be met:
1) The controller responsible for processing the personal data or a third party has a legitimate interest in the data processing.
2) The processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interest.
3) The interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring the protection of personal data do not override this interest.
Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of users will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Further storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Use of our website, general information
Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the user's computer system. The following information may be collected:
Information about the browser type and version used, the user's operating system, the user's Internet service provider, the user's IP address, date and time of access, websites from which the user's system accesses our website, websites accessed by the user's system via our website
The data described is stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
Purpose and legal basis for data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The collection of your personal data for the provision of our website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Therefore, there is no possibility for the user to object.
Duration of storage
Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. If your data is collected to ensure the provision of the website, the data will be deleted when the respective session is ended.
If your data is stored in log files, it will be deleted after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible, in which case the IP addresses of users will be deleted or anonymized. It will then no longer be possible to assign the calling client.
General information on the use of cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When you visit a website, a cookie may be stored on your operating system. This contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is visited again.
We use cookies to make our homepage more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the browser can be identified even after a page change.
TDDDG:
The legal basis for the storage of cookies, device identifiers, and similar tracking technologies, or for the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment and access to this information, is the European ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).
Please note that the legal basis for the processing of personal data collected in this context is then derived from the GDPR (Art. 6 (1) (1) GDPR). The legal basis for the processing of personal data relevant in each specific case can be found below the respective cookie or the respective processing itself.
The primary legal basis for storing information on the end user's terminal equipment – in particular for storing cookies – is your consent, Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TDDDG. Consent is given when you visit our website – although this is of course not mandatory – and can be revoked at any time in the cookie settings.
According to Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG, consent is not required if the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is absolutely necessary for the provider of a telemedia service to be able to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user. The cookie settings indicate which cookies are classified as strictly necessary (often referred to as “technically necessary cookies”) and therefore fall under the exemption of Section 25 (2) TDDDG and do not require consent.
GDPR:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our website.
We would like to point out that individual functions of our website can only be offered with the use of cookies.
We do not use user data collected by technically necessary cookies to create user profiles.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by the user. As a user, you therefore have control over the use of cookies. You can restrict or deactivate the transmission of cookies by making changes to the settings of your internet browser. Stored cookies can also be deleted there. Please note that you may no longer be able to use all the functions of our website if you deactivate cookies.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis and advertising purposes is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, provided that the user has given their consent.
Your rights / rights of the data subject
Right to information
You have the right to obtain information from us as the controller as to whether and which personal data concerning you is processed by us, as well as further information in accordance with the legal requirements under Art. 13, 14 GDPR.
You can assert your right to information at:
Datenschutz(at)halbach.com
Right to rectification
If the personal data we process concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we rectify and/or complete it. The rectification will be carried out without delay.
Right to restriction
You have the right to restrict the processing of personal data concerning you in accordance with the statutory provisions (Art. 18 GDPR).
Right to erasure
If the reasons set out in Art. 17 GDPR apply, you may request that the personal data concerning you be erased without delay.
Please note that the right to erasure does not apply if the processing is necessary for one of the exceptions listed in Art. 17 (3).
Right to notification
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You also have the right to be informed about these recipients.
Right to data portability
Under the GDPR, you also have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller.
Right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. We would like to point out that revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until revocation.
Right to object
Furthermore, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR.
Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Finally, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.
Data transfer outside the EU
The GDPR ensures a uniformly high level of data protection within the European Union. When selecting our service providers, we therefore rely on European partners wherever possible if your personal data is to be processed. Only in exceptional cases will we have data processed outside the European Union in the context of using third-party services. We only allow your data to be processed in a third country if the specific requirements of Art. This means that the processing of your data may then only take place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the official recognition by the EU Commission of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU or the observance of officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard data protection clauses.”
EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework
Within the framework of the so-called “Data Privacy Framework” (DPF), the EU Commission has also recognized the level of data protection for certain US companies as adequate within the framework of the adequacy decision of July 10, 2023. The list of certified companies and further information on the DPF can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.
Minors under the age of 16
Minors under the age of 16 are expressly not the target audience of our website and the offers on this website. We would like to point out that parents or guardians must supervise their children's online activities. Minors under the age of 16 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or guardians. We explicitly do not request personal data from minors under the age of 16, do not knowingly collect such data, and do not pass it on to third parties.
Electronic contact
If you wish to contact us, you can do so via the email address or telephone number provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.
Your data will not be passed on to third parties in this context; the data will be used exclusively for the purpose of processing the communication.
The legal basis for processing the contact request and its handling is regularly Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
Social media
Social media presence
We maintain fan pages on various social networks and platforms with the aim of communicating with customers, interested parties, and users who are active there and informing them about our services.
We would like to point out that your personal data may be processed outside the European Union, which may result in risks for you (e.g., in enforcing your rights under European/German law).
User data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the usage behavior and resulting interests of users. These usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with them in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e., they declare their consent, e.g., by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
Further information on the processing of your personal data and your options for objection can be found at the links of the respective provider listed below. The assertion of information and other rights of the data subjects can also be made against the providers, who then only have direct access to the users' data and have the relevant information. We are of course available to answer any questions you may have and will support you if you need help.

YouTube videos
We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored on www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in “extended data protection mode,” which means that no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in paragraph 2 be transferred. We have no influence on this data transfer.
When you visit the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your profile to be linked to YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
Insofar as we obtain your consent, the legal basis for the use of the plug-in is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can find out how the respective social media providers process your personal data in their respective privacy policies. We are not responsible for data processing by social media providers within the meaning of the GDPR.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in the privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
