After 14 years have elapsed, we check whether there are reasons for further retention.

(3) Otherwise, we delete your personal data after the purpose for which we collected your data has been fulfilled or has ceased to exist, unless we are entitled or obliged to continue to store the data. In these cases, we will generally not use your data for any further use and restrict the processing of personal data to this extent.

(1) In general, we process personal data of our users only to the extent which is necessary to provide a functional website and our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception is made in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

(2) If we wish to use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or use their data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail about the respective processes below. In doing so, we will also inform you of the specified criteria for the storage period.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

(4) Insofar as no other storage period results from the other provisions of this data protection declaration, the personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the data controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data is also carried out when a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data in order to conclude or fulfill a contract.

  1. web analytics

(1) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google").

  1. a) Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before this happens. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
  2. b) The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
  3. c) Our website also uses the "demographic features" function of Google Analytics. This enables us to generate reports that contain statements on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person.
  4. d) You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your Browser software may prevent this; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
  5. e) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This enables IP addresses to be further processed in a shortened form, thus excluding the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is immediately deleted.
  6. f) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

(2) Google reCAPTCHA

We also use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our website. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is done by a human being or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The IP address transmitted in the context of "reCAPTCHA" is not merged with other data from Google unless you are logged into your Google account at the time of using the "reCAPTCHA" plug-in. The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting his web offers from improper automated spying and from SPAM. Further information on the processing of your data can be found in the data protection regulations of the provider: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

  1. General regulations with regard to the further functions and offers of the website in the case of use not purely for information purpose

(1) In addition to the purely informative use of our website, we offer various services which you can use if you are interested. For this purpose, you will generally have to provide additional personal data which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply. The regulations under point III. regarding data processing, your rights, the storage period and transfer to third parties also apply to the additional functions of the website, as far as this provision doesn´t stipulate something different.

(2) In some cases we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us and are bound by our instructions and controlled by us. The transmission to these service providers (processors) is based on Art. 28 DSGVO and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DSGVO. The commissioned processors used by us process your data exclusively on our behalf and according to our instructions. Above all, the processors are not permitted to use your personal data for their own purposes.

(3) Insofar as we process your personal data for specific purposes on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO. Upon receipt of your revocation, we will stop processing data for the purposes for which you have given us your consent. The legality of the processing before receipt of your revocation remains unaffected.

(4) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is in particular not necessary for the fulfillment of a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. In the event of such an objection, please explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the facts of the case and will either stop or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

  1. Client portal

(1) If you wish to use our client portal, registration is required. We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration by clicking on the link contained in a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose. If your confirmation is not received within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database. The submission of the above-mentioned data is obligatory. You can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal.

(2) The collected data can be seen from the input mask during registration. This includes mandatory first name, last name, e-mail address of the user as well as a new password. Additional information such as street, postal code, city, telephone, fax and position of the user can be added voluntarily. At the time of registration, the following data is also stored: Date and time of registration, date and time of the last change, date and time of the last login. As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

(3) The data entered as part of the registration process will be used exclusively for the purpose of using the services on the client portal. The data will be entered into an input mask, transmitted to us and stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties.

(4) If you use our portal, we store the data required for the fulfilment of the contract until you finally delete your access. Furthermore, we store the data you have voluntarily provided for the time of your use of the portal, unless you delete it first. You can manage and change all data in the protected client area. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent, otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If the use of the client portal serves the fulfilment of a contract to which the user is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

(5) The data shall be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration on our website is cancelled or modified. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or implementing pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer necessary for the implementation of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may still be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

(6) As a client, you have the possibility to cancel the registration at any time. You can revoke your registration in the client portal at any time. You can revoke your registration by clicking on the link provided in the client area under "Edit profile", by sending an e-mail to kanzlei@bzg-partner.de or by sending a message to the contact data provided in the imprint. You can request changes to the data stored about you at any time. If the data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, an early deletion of the data is only possible, unless contractual or legal obligations prevent a deletion.

(7) To prevent unauthorized access to your data by third parties, we use SSL or TSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

  1. Newsletter

(1) If and insofar as we offer a newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers, you can subscribe to it with your consent in our privacy policy. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

(2) We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one week. In addition, we store your IP address and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) Your e-mail address is the only mandatory information for sending the newsletter. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address and the data required to personalize the newsletter (name, first name, salutation) for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.

(4) Your consent to the sending of the newsletter can be revoked at any time and you can unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can revoke your consent by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter e-mail, by sending an e-mail to newsletter@bzg-partner.de or by sending a message to the contact data provided in the imprint.

(5) If you have a client relationship with us, we will automatically send you information e-mails for software or services, i.e. without express prior consent. The legal basis for the sending of information e-mails within the framework of an existing client relationship, in particular the sale of services, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO and § 7 para. 3 UWG. You can demand at any time that you no longer receive such information e-mails from us. To do so, please click on the link at the end of the information e-mails, send an e-mail to newsletter@bzg-partner.de or use the contact details given in the imprint.

(6) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. The user's e-mail address and, if applicable, the user's data that have been voluntarily provided for the personalization of the newsletter (name, first name, salutation) are thus stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

  1. Contact form and e-mail contact

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO.

(3) The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contacting us by e-mail, this is also the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

(4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

(5) The user has the possibility to revoke his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. The revocation can be declared by sending an e-mail to kanzlei@bzg-partner.de or by sending a message to the contact data given in the imprint.

If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you have to log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website.
