3. General Information and Requirements

Privacy

The operator of this site takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (for example, when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

Information on the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Gerd Müller
Beginenstraße 32
52062 Aachen

Email: info@the-oph-beats.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (for example, names, email addresses, or similar information).

Data retention period

Unless a more specific retention period has been specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (for example, retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once those grounds no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to the processing of data, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In the event of your explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is, in addition, based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to accessing information on your end device (for example, via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data, insofar as it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Information on the legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (for example, disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using data processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in certain cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which the processing is based in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract provided to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, correction, and deletion

You have the right at any time, within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected or deleted. For this purpose, as well as for any other questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may, apart from their retention, only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (for example, cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (for example, the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (for example, for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (for example, cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG); the consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are being set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

If additional cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this information in this Privacy Policy.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact information you provide there, for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if it has been requested; the consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example, after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with enhanced privacy

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit a website on which YouTube is embedded, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalize your browsing on YouTube. Advertisements displayed in enhanced privacy mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in enhanced privacy mode. Instead, so-called “Local Storage” elements are stored in the user’s browser. Like cookies, these may contain personal data and can be used for recognition. You can find details about enhanced privacy mode here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

If applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after activating a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (for example, device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
