Pri­vacy policy

Set­tings for pri­vacy

This trans­la­tion was auto­ma­ti­cally crea­ted and is not legally bin­ding. It only ser­ves infor­ma­tio­nal pur­po­ses. For the offi­cial pri­vacy policy, please switch to Ger­man. We are very plea­sed about your inte­rest in our com­pany. Data pro­tec­tion is of par­ti­cu­lar importance to the manage­ment of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH. The use of the Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH web­site is gene­rally pos­si­ble wit­hout pro­vi­ding any per­so­nal data. Howe­ver, if a data sub­ject wis­hes to use spe­cial ser­vices of our com­pany via our web­site, pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data may be neces­sary. If the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is neces­sary and there is no legal basis for such pro­ces­sing, we gene­rally obtain con­sent from the data sub­ject.

The pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data, such as the name, address, email address, or tele­phone num­ber of a data sub­ject, is always car­ried out in accordance with the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR) and in com­pli­ance with the coun­try-spe­ci­fic data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons appli­ca­ble to Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH.

Through this pri­vacy policy, our com­pany aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and pur­pose of the per­so­nal data we coll­ect, use, and pro­cess. Fur­ther­more, this pri­vacy policy ser­ves to enligh­ten data sub­jects about their rights.

Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH, as the data con­trol­ler, has imple­men­ted num­e­rous tech­ni­cal and orga­niza­tio­nal mea­su­res to ensure the most com­pre­hen­sive pro­tec­tion of per­so­nal data pro­ces­sed via this web­site. Howe­ver, inter­net-based data trans­mis­si­ons may in prin­ci­ple have secu­rity gaps, so abso­lute pro­tec­tion can­not be gua­ran­teed. For this reason, it is open to any data sub­ject to trans­mit per­so­nal data to us via alter­na­tive means, such as by tele­phone.

1. Defi­ni­tons

The pri­vacy policy of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH is based on the terms used by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor for the adop­tion of the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR). Our pri­vacy policy is inten­ded to be easily rea­da­ble and under­stan­da­ble for the public, as well as for our cus­to­mers and busi­ness part­ners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used before­hand.

In this pri­vacy policy, we use, among others, the fol­lo­wing terms:

a) per­so­nal data
Per­so­nal data refers to any infor­ma­tion rela­ting to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral per­son (her­ein­af­ter refer­red to as the "data sub­ject"). An iden­ti­fia­ble 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, or one or more fac­tors spe­ci­fic to the phy­si­cal, phy­sio­lo­gi­cal, gene­tic, men­tal, eco­no­mic, cul­tu­ral, or social iden­tity of that natu­ral per­son.

b) Data sub­ject
A data sub­ject is any iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral per­son whose per­so­nal data is pro­ces­sed by the data con­trol­ler.

c) pro­ces­sing
Pro­ces­sing means any ope­ra­tion or set of ope­ra­ti­ons which is per­for­med on per­so­nal data, whe­ther or not by auto­ma­ted means, such as coll­ec­tion, recor­ding, orga­niza­tion, struc­tu­ring, sto­rage, adapt­a­tion or altera­tion, retrie­val, con­sul­ta­tion, use, dis­clo­sure by trans­mis­sion, dis­se­mi­na­tion or other­wise making available, ali­gnment or com­bi­na­tion, rest­ric­tion, era­sure, or des­truc­tion.

d) rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing
The rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing is the mar­king of stored per­so­nal data with the aim of limi­ting their future pro­ces­sing.

e) Pro­fil­ing
Pro­fil­ing is any form of auto­ma­ted pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­sis­ting of the use of those per­so­nal data to eva­luate cer­tain per­so­nal aspects rela­ting to a natu­ral per­son, in par­ti­cu­lar to ana­lyze or pre­dict aspects con­cer­ning that person's per­for­mance at work, eco­no­mic situa­tion, health, per­so­nal pre­fe­ren­ces, inte­rests, relia­bi­lity, beha­vior, loca­tion, or move­ments.

f) pseud­ony­mi­sa­tion
Pseud­ony­mi­sa­tion is 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 orga­niza­tio­nal mea­su­res to ensure that the per­so­nal data are not attri­bu­ted to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral per­son.

g) Con­trol­ler or pro­ces­sor
The con­trol­ler or pro­ces­sor is 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. Where the pur­po­ses and means of such pro­ces­sing are deter­mi­ned by Union or Mem­ber State law, the con­trol­ler or the spe­ci­fic cri­te­ria for its nomi­na­tion may be pro­vi­ded for by Union or Mem­ber State law.

h) Data pro­ces­sor
A data pro­ces­sor is a natu­ral or legal per­son, public aut­ho­rity, agency or other body that pro­ces­ses per­so­nal data on behalf of the con­trol­ler.

i) reci­pi­ent
A reci­pi­ent is a natu­ral or legal per­son, public aut­ho­rity, agency, or other entity to whom per­so­nal data are dis­c­lo­sed, whe­ther or not they are a third party. Howe­ver, aut­ho­ri­ties that may receive per­so­nal data within the frame­work of a spe­ci­fic inves­ti­ga­tion man­date under Union law or the law of the Mem­ber Sta­tes are not con­side­red reci­pi­ents.

j) Third party
A third party is a natu­ral or legal per­son, public aut­ho­rity, agency, or other entity other than the data sub­ject, the con­trol­ler, the pro­ces­sor, and the per­sons aut­ho­ri­zed to pro­cess per­so­nal data under the direct aut­ho­rity of the con­trol­ler or pro­ces­sor.

k) Con­sent
Con­sent is any freely given, spe­ci­fic, infor­med, and unam­bi­guous indi­ca­tion of the data subject's wis­hes by which he or she, by a state­ment or by a clear affir­ma­tive action, signi­fies agree­ment to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data rela­ting to him or her.

2. Name and address of the con­trol­ler

The con­trol­ler within the mea­ning of the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­tion, other data pro­tec­tion laws appli­ca­ble in the Mem­ber Sta­tes of the Euro­pean Union, and other pro­vi­si­ons with data pro­tec­tion cha­rac­ter is the

3. Name and address of the data pro­tec­tion offi­cer.

A data pro­tec­tion offi­cer has not been appoin­ted.

4. Coo­kies

The web­sites of Artur Mül­ler & Söhne GmbH use coo­kies. Coo­kies are text files that are pla­ced and stored on a com­pu­ter sys­tem via an inter­net brow­ser

Num­e­rous web­sites and ser­vers use coo­kies. Many coo­kies con­tain a so-cal­led coo­kie ID. A coo­kie ID is a uni­que iden­ti­fier of the coo­kie. It con­sists of a string through which web­sites and ser­vers can be assi­gned to the spe­ci­fic inter­net brow­ser in which the coo­kie was stored. This enables the visi­ted web­sites and ser­vers to distin­gu­ish the indi­vi­dual brow­ser of the per­son con­cer­ned from other inter­net brow­sers that con­tain dif­fe­rent coo­kies. A par­ti­cu­lar inter­net brow­ser can be reco­gni­zed and iden­ti­fied via the uni­que coo­kie ID.

By using coo­kies, Artur Mül­ler & Söhne GmbH can pro­vide users of this web­site with more user-fri­endly ser­vices that would not be pos­si­ble wit­hout set­ting coo­kies.

By means of a coo­kie, the infor­ma­tion and offers on our web­site can be opti­mi­zed in the user's inte­rest. As men­tio­ned ear­lier, coo­kies enable us to reco­gnize the users of our web­site. The pur­pose of this reco­gni­tion is to make it easier for users to use our web­site. For exam­ple, a user of a web­site that uses coo­kies does not have to enter their access data again each time they visit the web­site, because this is taken over by the web­site and the coo­kie stored on the user's com­pu­ter sys­tem. Ano­ther exam­ple is the coo­kie of a shop­ping cart in an online shop. The online shop remem­bers the items that a cus­to­mer has pla­ced in the vir­tual shop­ping cart via a coo­kie.

The data sub­ject can pre­vent coo­kies from being set by our web­site at any time by means of a cor­re­spon­ding set­ting of the inter­net brow­ser used and thus per­ma­nently object to the set­ting of coo­kies. Fur­ther­more, coo­kies that have alre­ady been set can be dele­ted at any time via an inter­net brow­ser or other soft­ware pro­grams. This is pos­si­ble in all com­mon inter­net brow­sers. If the data sub­ject deac­ti­va­tes the set­ting of coo­kies in the inter­net brow­ser used, not all func­tions of our web­site may be fully usable.

5. Coll­ec­tion of Gene­ral Data and Infor­ma­tion

The web­site of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH coll­ects a series of gene­ral data and infor­ma­tion with each visit by an indi­vi­dual or an auto­ma­ted sys­tem. These gene­ral data and infor­ma­tion are stored in the server's log files. They may include:

(1) The brow­ser type and ver­sion used,
(2) The ope­ra­ting sys­tem used on the acces­sing sys­tem,
(3) The web­site, from which the acces­sing sys­tem got to our web­site (so-cal­led refer­rer),
(4) The sub­pages which are acces­sed by the acces­sing sys­tem on our web­site,
(5) The date and time of the access on our web­site,
(6) An Inter­net Pro­to­col (IP) address
(7) Ther Inter­net-Ser­vice-Pro­vi­der of the acces­sing sys­tem and
(8) other simi­lar data and infor­ma­tion ser­ving to pre­vent risks in the event of attacks on our infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy sys­tems.

When using this gene­ral data and infor­ma­tion, Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH does not draw con­clu­si­ons about the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned. Rather, this infor­ma­tion is nee­ded to

(1) deli­ver the con­tents of our web­site cor­rectly,
(2) opti­mize the con­tent of our web­site as well as the adver­ti­sing for it, (3) ensure the per­ma­nent func­tion­a­lity of our infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy sys­tems and the tech­no­logy of our web­site, as well as
(4) pro­vide law enforce­ment aut­ho­ri­ties with the neces­sary infor­ma­tion for pro­se­cu­tion in the event of a cyber­at­tack.

The anony­mi­zed data and infor­ma­tion coll­ec­ted by Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH are the­r­e­fore eva­lua­ted both sta­tis­ti­cally and with the aim of incre­asing data pro­tec­tion and data secu­rity in our com­pany, ulti­m­ately ensu­ring an opti­mal level of pro­tec­tion for the per­so­nal data we pro­cess. The anony­mous data from the ser­ver log files are stored sepa­ra­tely from all per­so­nal data pro­vi­ded by an indi­vi­dual.

6. Regis­tra­tion on our web­site

The indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has the oppor­tu­nity to regis­ter on the web­site of the data con­trol­ler by pro­vi­ding per­so­nal data. The per­so­nal data trans­mit­ted to the data con­trol­ler is deter­mi­ned by the respec­tive input mask used for regis­tra­tion. The per­so­nal data ente­red by the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned are coll­ec­ted and stored solely for inter­nal use by the data con­trol­ler and for their own pur­po­ses. The data con­trol­ler may arrange for the data to be dis­c­lo­sed to one or more data pro­ces­sors, such as a par­cel deli­very ser­vice, who will also use the per­so­nal data solely for inter­nal pur­po­ses attri­bu­ta­ble to the data con­trol­ler.

By regis­tering on the web­site of the data con­trol­ler, the Inter­net Pro­to­col (IP) address assi­gned by the Inter­net ser­vice pro­vi­der (ISP) of the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned, as well as the date and time of regis­tra­tion, are also stored. The sto­rage of this data is neces­sary to pre­vent misuse of our ser­vices and, if neces­sary, to enable the inves­ti­ga­tion of com­mit­ted cri­mes. The­r­e­fore, the sto­rage of this data is neces­sary to pro­tect the data con­trol­ler. In prin­ci­ple, this data is not dis­c­lo­sed to third par­ties unless there is a legal obli­ga­tion to do so or the dis­clo­sure ser­ves law enforce­ment pur­po­ses.

The regis­tra­tion of the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned, with vol­un­t­ary pro­vi­sion of per­so­nal data, enables the data con­trol­ler to offer con­tent or ser­vices to the indi­vi­dual that can only be offe­red to regis­tered users due to the nature of the mat­ter. Regis­tered indi­vi­du­als have the option to modify the per­so­nal data pro­vi­ded during regis­tra­tion at any time or to have it com­ple­tely dele­ted from the data records of the data con­trol­ler.

The data con­trol­ler pro­vi­des any indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned with infor­ma­tion at any time upon request about which per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them is stored. Fur­ther­more, the data con­trol­ler cor­rects or dele­tes per­so­nal data at the request or indi­ca­tion of the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned, pro­vi­ded that there are no legal reten­tion obli­ga­ti­ons pre­ven­ting this. A data pro­tec­tion offi­cer named in this pri­vacy policy and all employees of the data con­trol­ler are available to the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned as cont­acts in this regard.

7. Cont­act opti­ons on the web­site

The web­site of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH con­ta­ins infor­ma­tion, as requi­red by law, that enables quick elec­tro­nic cont­act with our com­pany and direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with us, inclu­ding a gene­ral email address. If an indi­vi­dual cont­acts the data con­trol­ler via email or through a cont­act form, the per­so­nal data trans­mit­ted by the indi­vi­dual are auto­ma­ti­cally stored. Such per­so­nal data vol­un­t­a­rily pro­vi­ded by an indi­vi­dual to the data con­trol­ler are stored for the pur­pose of pro­ces­sing or cont­ac­ting the indi­vi­dual. There is no dis­clo­sure of this per­so­nal data to third par­ties.

8. Rou­tine dele­tion and blo­cking of per­so­nal data

The data con­trol­ler pro­ces­ses and stores per­so­nal data of the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned only for the period neces­sary to achieve the pur­pose of sto­rage or as requi­red by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor or other legis­la­tor in laws or regu­la­ti­ons to which the data con­trol­ler is sub­ject.

If the pur­pose of sto­rage cea­ses to exist or if a sto­rage period pre­scri­bed by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor or ano­ther com­pe­tent legis­la­tor expi­res, the per­so­nal data will be rou­ti­nely blo­cked or dele­ted in accordance with legal requi­re­ments.

9. Rights of the data sub­ject

a) Right to con­fir­ma­tion
Every indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to request con­fir­ma­tion from the data con­trol­ler as to whe­ther per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them is being pro­ces­sed. If an indi­vi­dual wis­hes to exer­cise this right to con­fir­ma­tion, they can cont­act our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee of the data con­trol­ler at any time.

b) Right to infor­ma­tion
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to obtain from the data con­trol­ler free infor­ma­tion about the per­so­nal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this infor­ma­tion at any time. Fur­ther­more, the Euro­pean legis­la­tor has gran­ted the indi­vi­dual affec­ted the right to infor­ma­tion about the fol­lo­wing:

the pur­po­ses of pro­ces­sing

  • the cate­go­ries of per­so­nal data being pro­ces­sed
  • the reci­pi­ents or cate­go­ries of reci­pi­ents to whom the per­so­nal data have been or will be dis­c­lo­sed, in par­ti­cu­lar reci­pi­ents in third count­ries or inter­na­tio­nal orga­niza­ti­ons
  • if pos­si­ble, the plan­ned dura­tion for which the per­so­nal data will be stored, or, if this is not pos­si­ble, the cri­te­ria used to deter­mine this dura­tion
  • the exis­tence of the right to request rec­ti­fi­ca­tion or era­sure of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning the indi­vi­dual or rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing by the data con­trol­ler, as well as the right to object to such pro­ces­sing
  • the exis­tence of the right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vi­sory aut­ho­rity
  • if the per­so­nal data were not coll­ec­ted from the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned: all available infor­ma­tion about the source of the data
  • the exis­tence of auto­ma­ted decis­ion-making, inclu­ding pro­fil­ing, accor­ding to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and - at least in these cases - meaningful infor­ma­tion about the logic invol­ved, as well as the signi­fi­cance and envi­sa­ged con­se­quen­ces of such pro­ces­sing for the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned

Fur­ther­more, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has the right to be infor­med whe­ther per­so­nal data has been trans­fer­red to a third coun­try or to an inter­na­tio­nal orga­niza­tion. If this is the case, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned also has the right to obtain infor­ma­tion about the appro­priate safe­guards rela­ting to the trans­fer.
If an indi­vi­dual wis­hes to exer­cise this right to infor­ma­tion, they can cont­act our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee of the data con­trol­ler at any time.

c) Right to cor­rec­tion
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to request the imme­diate cor­rec­tion of inac­cu­rate per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them. Fur­ther­more, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has the right, taking into account the pur­po­ses of the pro­ces­sing, to request the com­ple­tion of incom­plete per­so­nal data, inclu­ding by means of a sup­ple­men­tary state­ment.
If an indi­vi­dual wis­hes to exer­cise this right to cor­rec­tion, they can cont­act our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee of the data con­trol­ler at any time.If an indi­vi­dual wis­hes to exer­cise this right to cor­rec­tion, they can cont­act our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee of the data con­trol­ler at any time.

d) Right to era­sure (Right to be for­got­ten)
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to request from the con­trol­ler the imme­diate dele­tion of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them if one of the fol­lo­wing reasons applies and the pro­ces­sing is not neces­sary:

  • The per­so­nal data have been coll­ec­ted or other­wise pro­ces­sed for pur­po­ses for which they are no lon­ger neces­sary.
  • The indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned with­draws their con­sent, on which the pro­ces­sing was based accor­ding to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the pro­ces­sing.
  • The indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned objects to the pro­ces­sing pur­su­ant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no over­ri­ding legi­ti­mate grounds for the pro­ces­sing, or the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned objects to the pro­ces­sing pur­su­ant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
  • The per­so­nal data have been unlawfully pro­ces­sed.
  • The dele­tion of per­so­nal data is neces­sary to ful­fill a legal obli­ga­tion under Union law or the law of the Mem­ber Sta­tes to which the con­trol­ler is sub­ject.
  • The per­so­nal data were coll­ec­ted in rela­tion to ser­vices offe­red by the infor­ma­tion society as refer­red to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

 

If any of the above-men­tio­ned reasons apply and an indi­vi­dual wis­hes to request the dele­tion of per­so­nal data stored by Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH, they can cont­act our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee of the data con­trol­ler at any time. The data pro­tec­tion offi­cer of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH or ano­ther employee will promptly com­ply with the dele­tion request.
If per­so­nal data have been made public by Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH, and our com­pany is obli­ga­ted as the con­trol­ler under Article 17(1) of the GDPR to delete the per­so­nal data, Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH will, taking into account available tech­no­logy and imple­men­ta­tion costs, take reasonable mea­su­res, inclu­ding tech­ni­cal mea­su­res, to inform other data con­trol­lers pro­ces­sing the published per­so­nal data that the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has reques­ted dele­tion of any links to, or copies or repli­ca­ti­ons of, this per­so­nal data from those other data con­trol­lers, unless pro­ces­sing is neces­sary. In each case, the data pro­tec­tion offi­cer of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH or ano­ther employee will arrange for what is neces­sary.

e) Right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to request from the con­trol­ler the rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing if one of the fol­lo­wing con­di­ti­ons is met:

  • The accu­racy of the per­so­nal data is con­tes­ted by the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned, for a period enab­ling the con­trol­ler to verify the accu­racy of the per­so­nal data.
  • The pro­ces­sing is unlawful, and the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned oppo­ses the era­sure of the per­so­nal data and ins­tead requests the rest­ric­tion of their use.
  • The con­trol­ler no lon­ger needs the per­so­nal data for the pur­po­ses of pro­ces­sing, but the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned requi­res them for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise, or defense of legal claims.
  • The indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has objec­ted to pro­ces­sing pur­su­ant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been deter­mi­ned whe­ther the legi­ti­mate grounds of the con­trol­ler over­ride those of the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned.

If any of the above con­di­ti­ons apply and an indi­vi­dual wis­hes to request the rest­ric­tion of per­so­nal data stored by Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH, they can cont­act our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee of the data con­trol­ler at any time. The data pro­tec­tion offi­cer of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH or ano­ther employee will arrange for the rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing.

f) Right to data por­ta­bi­lity
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to receive the per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them, which they have pro­vi­ded to a con­trol­ler, in a struc­tu­red, com­monly used, and machine-rea­da­ble for­mat. They also have the right to trans­mit those data to ano­ther con­trol­ler wit­hout hin­drance from the con­trol­ler to whom the per­so­nal data have been pro­vi­ded, where: 1. the pro­ces­sing is based on con­sent pur­su­ant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, or on a con­tract pur­su­ant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and 2. the pro­ces­sing is car­ried out by auto­ma­ted means, unless the pro­ces­sing is neces­sary for the per­for­mance of a task car­ried out in the public inte­rest or in the exer­cise of offi­cial aut­ho­rity ves­ted in the con­trol­ler.
Fur­ther­more, in exer­cis­ing their right to data por­ta­bi­lity under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has the right to have per­so­nal data trans­mit­ted directly from one con­trol­ler to ano­ther, where tech­ni­cally fea­si­ble and pro­vi­ded that this does not adver­sely affect the rights and free­doms of others.
To assert the right to data por­ta­bi­lity, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned can cont­act the data pro­tec­tion offi­cer appoin­ted by Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH or ano­ther employee at any time.

g) Right to object
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to object at any time, on grounds rela­ting to their par­ti­cu­lar situa­tion, to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to pro­fil­ing based on these pro­vi­si­ons.

Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH will cease pro­ces­sing the per­so­nal data in the event of objec­tion, unless we can demons­trate com­pel­ling legi­ti­mate grounds for the pro­ces­sing which over­ride the inte­rests, rights, and free­doms of the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned, or if the pro­ces­sing is neces­sary for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise, or defense of legal claims.

If Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH pro­ces­ses per­so­nal data for the pur­pose of direct mar­ke­ting, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has the right to object at any time to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data for such mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses. This also applies to pro­fil­ing to the ext­ent that it is rela­ted to such direct mar­ke­ting. If the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned objects to the pro­ces­sing for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses, Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH will no lon­ger pro­cess per­so­nal data for these pur­po­ses.

Fur­ther­more, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned has the right, for reasons ari­sing from their par­ti­cu­lar situa­tion, to object to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning them by Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH for sci­en­ti­fic or his­to­ri­cal rese­arch pur­po­ses or sta­tis­ti­cal pur­po­ses pur­su­ant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such pro­ces­sing is neces­sary for the per­for­mance of a task car­ried out in the public inte­rest.

To exer­cise the right to object, the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned can directly cont­act the data pro­tec­tion offi­cer of Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH or ano­ther employee. The indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned is also free to exer­cise their right to object in rela­tion to the use of infor­ma­tion society ser­vices, regard­less of Direc­tive 2002/58/EC, by auto­ma­ted means using tech­ni­cal spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons.

h) Auto­ma­ted indi­vi­dual decis­ion-making, inclu­ding pro­fil­ing
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, not to be sub­ject to a decis­ion based solely on auto­ma­ted pro­ces­sing, inclu­ding pro­fil­ing, which pro­du­ces legal effects con­cer­ning them or simi­larly signi­fi­cantly affects them, unless the decis­ion: 1. is neces­sary for ente­ring into or per­forming a con­tract bet­ween the indi­vi­dual and the con­trol­ler, 2. is aut­ho­ri­zed by Union or Mem­ber State law to which the con­trol­ler is sub­ject and which also lays down sui­ta­ble mea­su­res to safe­guard the individual's rights and free­doms and legi­ti­mate inte­rests, or 3. is based on the individual's expli­cit con­sent.
If the decis­ion is neces­sary for ente­ring into or per­forming a con­tract bet­ween the indi­vi­dual and the con­trol­ler, or if it is based on the individual's expli­cit con­sent, Artur Mül­ler & Sons GmbH takes appro­priate mea­su­res to safe­guard the rights and free­doms as well as the legi­ti­mate inte­rests of the indi­vi­dual, inclu­ding at least the right to obtain human inter­ven­tion on the part of the con­trol­ler, to express their point of view, and to con­test the decis­ion.
If the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned wis­hes to exer­cise rights rela­ted to auto­ma­ted decis­i­ons, they can do so at any time by cont­ac­ting our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee respon­si­ble for pro­ces­sing.

i) Right to with­draw con­sent for data pro­ces­sing
Every indi­vi­dual affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right, gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to with­draw con­sent for the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data at any time.
If the indi­vi­dual con­cer­ned wis­hes to exer­cise their right to with­draw con­sent, they can do so at any time by cont­ac­ting our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer or ano­ther employee respon­si­ble for pro­ces­sing.

10. Data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­si­ons con­cer­ning the use of Face­book

The data con­trol­ler has inte­gra­ted com­pon­ents of the com­pany Face­book on this web­site. Face­book is a social net­work.
A social net­work is an online plat­form where users can inter­act and com­mu­ni­cate with each other in a vir­tual space. It ser­ves as a social gathe­ring place on the inter­net, allo­wing users to exch­ange opi­ni­ons and expe­ri­en­ces or share per­so­nal or busi­ness-rela­ted infor­ma­tion. Face­book, in par­ti­cu­lar, enables users to create pri­vate pro­files, upload pho­tos, and con­nect with others through fri­end requests, among other fea­tures.
The ope­ra­ting com­pany of Face­book is Face­book, Inc., loca­ted at 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Howe­ver, for indi­vi­du­als living out­side the USA or Canada, the respon­si­ble entity for pro­ces­sing per­so­nal data is Face­book Ire­land Ltd., loca­ted at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Har­bour, Dub­lin 2, Ire­land.

Each time a page of this web­site, ope­ra­ted by the data con­trol­ler and con­tai­ning a Face­book com­po­nent (Face­book plug-in), is acces­sed, the inter­net brow­ser on the data subject's infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy sys­tem is auto­ma­ti­cally prompted by the respec­tive Face­book com­po­nent to down­load a dis­play of the cor­re­spon­ding Face­book com­po­nent from Face­book. An over­view of all Face­book plug-ins can be found at developers.facebook.com. As part of this tech­ni­cal pro­cess, Face­book beco­mes aware of which spe­ci­fic sub­page of our web­site is visi­ted by the data sub­ject.

If the data sub­ject is simul­ta­neously log­ged into Face­book when they visit our web­site, Face­book reco­gni­zes with each visit to our web­site by the data sub­ject and during the entire dura­tion of their stay on our web­site, which spe­ci­fic sub­page of our web­site the data sub­ject visits. This infor­ma­tion is coll­ec­ted by the Face­book com­po­nent and assi­gned by Face­book to the respec­tive Face­book account of the data sub­ject. If the data sub­ject clicks on one of the Face­book but­tons inte­gra­ted into our web­site, for exam­ple the "Like" but­ton, or if the data sub­ject sub­mits a com­ment, Face­book assigns this infor­ma­tion to the per­so­nal Face­book user account of the data sub­ject and stores this per­so­nal data.

Face­book recei­ves infor­ma­tion through the Face­book com­po­nent when­ever the data sub­ject visits our web­site, pro­vi­ded that the data sub­ject is log­ged into Face­book at the time of acces­sing our web­site; this hap­pens regard­less of whe­ther the data sub­ject clicks on the Face­book com­po­nent or not. If the data sub­ject does not wish for such infor­ma­tion to be trans­mit­ted to Face­book, they can pre­vent this trans­mis­sion by log­ging out of their Face­book account before acces­sing our web­site.

Die von Face­book ver­öf­fent­lichte Daten­schutz­richt­li­nie, die auf de-de.facebook.com abruf­bar ist, infor­miert über die Erfas­sung, Ver­ar­bei­tung und Nut­zung per­so­nen­be­zo­ge­ner Daten durch Face­book. Dar­über hin­aus wer­den dort die Daten­schutz­ein­stel­lun­gen erläu­tert, die Face­book zur Siche­rung der Pri­vat­sphäre der betrof­fe­nen Per­son bie­tet. Außer­dem ste­hen ver­schie­dene Anwen­dun­gen zur Ver­fü­gung, die es ermög­li­chen, die Über­tra­gung von Daten an Face­book zu blo­ckie­ren, wie zum Bei­spiel der Face­book-Blo­cker des Anbie­ters Web­graph, der auf webgraph.com erhält­lich ist. Sol­che Anwen­dun­gen kön­nen von der betrof­fe­nen Per­son genutzt wer­den, um die Über­tra­gung von Daten an Face­book zu ver­hin­dern.

12. Pri­vacy Policy Regar­ding the Use and Uti­liza­tion of You­Tube

The data con­trol­ler has inte­gra­ted com­pon­ents of You­Tube on this web­site. You­Tube is an inter­net video por­tal that allows video publishers to upload video clips for free and enables other users to view, rate, and com­ment on them for free as well. You­Tube allows the publi­ca­tion of all types of videos, which is why both com­plete films and TV shows, as well as music videos, trai­lers, or user-gene­ra­ted videos, can be acces­sed via the inter­net por­tal.
The ope­ra­ting com­pany of You­Tube is You­Tube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. You­Tube, LLC is a sub­si­diary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphi­theatre Pkwy, Moun­tain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the indi­vi­dual pages of this web­site, which is ope­ra­ted by the data con­trol­ler and on which a You­Tube com­po­nent (You­Tube video) has been inte­gra­ted, is acces­sed, the inter­net brow­ser on the infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy sys­tem of the data sub­ject is auto­ma­ti­cally prompted by the respec­tive You­Tube com­po­nent to down­load a repre­sen­ta­tion of the cor­re­spon­ding You­Tube com­po­nent from You­Tube. Fur­ther infor­ma­tion about You­Tube can be acces­sed at www.youtube.com. As part of this tech­ni­cal pro­cess, You­Tube and Google become aware of which spe­ci­fic sub­page of our web­site is visi­ted by the data sub­ject.

If the data sub­ject is log­ged into You­Tube at the same time when a sub­page con­tai­ning a You­Tube video is cal­led up, You­Tube reco­gni­zes which spe­ci­fic sub­page of our web­site the data sub­ject is visi­ting. This infor­ma­tion is coll­ec­ted by You­Tube and Google and assi­gned to the respec­tive You­Tube account of the data sub­ject.

Through the You­Tube com­po­nent, You­Tube and Google always receive infor­ma­tion when the data sub­ject has visi­ted our web­site if the data sub­ject is log­ged into You­Tube at the time of acces­sing our web­site; this hap­pens regard­less of whe­ther the data sub­ject clicks on a You­Tube video or not. If the data sub­ject does not want such infor­ma­tion to be trans­mit­ted to You­Tube and Google, they can pre­vent this by log­ging out of their You­Tube account before acces­sing our web­site.

The pri­vacy policy published by You­Tube, which is available at www.google.de, pro­vi­des infor­ma­tion about the coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing, and use of per­so­nal data by You­Tube and Google.

20. Legal basis of the coll­ec­tion

Article 6(1)(a) of the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR) ser­ves as the legal basis for pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons where we obtain con­sent for a spe­ci­fic pro­ces­sing pur­pose. If the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is neces­sary for the per­for­mance of a con­tract to which the data sub­ject is a party, as is the case, for exam­ple, with pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons neces­sary for the deli­very of goods or the pro­vi­sion of other ser­vices or con­side­ra­tion, the pro­ces­sing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

The same applies to pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons neces­sary for the per­for­mance of pre-con­trac­tual mea­su­res, such as in cases of inqui­ries about our pro­ducts or ser­vices. If our com­pany is sub­ject to a legal obli­ga­tion that requi­res the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data, such as ful­fil­ling tax obli­ga­ti­ons, the pro­ces­sing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data may be neces­sary to pro­tect the vital inte­rests of the data sub­ject or ano­ther natu­ral per­son.

This would be the case, for exam­ple, if a visi­tor at our com­pany were to be inju­red and as a result, their name, age, health insu­rance infor­ma­tion, or other vital details nee­ded to be dis­c­lo­sed to a doc­tor, hos­pi­tal, or other third par­ties.

Then the pro­ces­sing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Ulti­m­ately, pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons could be based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. Pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons based on this legal basis are those not covered by any of the afo­re­men­tio­ned legal bases, where the pro­ces­sing is neces­sary for the legi­ti­mate inte­rests pur­sued by our com­pany or by a third party, except where such inte­rests are over­ridden by the inte­rests or fun­da­men­tal rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject. Such pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are par­ti­cu­larly per­mis­si­ble because they have been spe­ci­fi­cally men­tio­ned by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor. He con­side­red that a legi­ti­mate inte­rest could be assu­med if the data sub­ject is a cus­to­mer of the con­trol­ler (Reci­tal 47, sen­tence 2 GDPR).

20. Legi­ti­mate inte­rests pur­sued by the con­trol­ler or a third party

The pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legi­ti­mate inte­rest is to con­duct our busi­ness acti­vi­ties for the bene­fit of the well-being of all our employees and share­hol­ders.

21. Dura­tion for which the per­so­nal data will be stored

The cri­ter­ion for the dura­tion of the sto­rage of per­so­nal data is the respec­tive legal reten­tion period. After the expi­ra­tion of the period, the cor­re­spon­ding data will be rou­ti­nely dele­ted unless they are no lon­ger neces­sary for the ful­fill­ment or initia­tion of a con­tract.

22. Legal or con­trac­tual pro­vi­si­ons regar­ding the pro­vi­sion of per­so­nal data; neces­sity for ente­ring into a con­tract; obli­ga­tion of the data sub­ject to pro­vide per­so­nal data; pos­si­ble con­se­quen­ces of not pro­vi­ding such data.

We inform you that the pro­vi­sion of per­so­nal data may be partly requi­red by law (e.g., tax regu­la­ti­ons) or may result from con­trac­tual pro­vi­si­ons (e.g., infor­ma­tion about the con­trac­tual part­ner). At times, it may be neces­sary for the con­clu­sion of a con­tract for an indi­vi­dual to pro­vide us with per­so­nal data that must sub­se­quently be pro­ces­sed by us. For exam­ple, the indi­vi­dual is obli­ga­ted to pro­vide us with per­so­nal data if our com­pany enters into a con­tract with them. Fail­ure to pro­vide the per­so­nal data would result in the con­tract with the indi­vi­dual not being con­cluded. Before pro­vi­ding per­so­nal data, the indi­vi­dual must cont­act our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer. Our data pro­tec­tion offi­cer will inform the indi­vi­dual on a case-by-case basis whe­ther the pro­vi­sion of per­so­nal data is requi­red by law or con­tract for the con­clu­sion of a con­tract, whe­ther there is an obli­ga­tion to pro­vide the per­so­nal data, and what con­se­quen­ces the fail­ure to pro­vide the per­so­nal data would have.

23. Exis­tence of auto­ma­tic decis­ion-making

As a respon­si­ble com­pany, we refrain from auto­ma­ted decis­ion-making or pro­fil­ing.
