3. General information and liability information
Data privacy
As the operators of these pages we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We will keep your personal data confidential and use it in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, different personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It furthermore explains how and for which purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmissions on the Internet (e.g., communication via e-mail) may be vulnerable to security breaches. Absolute protection against third-party access is not possible.

Information on the controller
The data processing controller of this website is:

HR-Structures GmbH
Zum Hohenrain 12
36355 Grebenhain, Germany

Telephone: +49 (0)6644 / 820 453 – 0
E-mail: info@hr-structures.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who decides on its own or with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage duration is mentioned in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will be stored with us until the purpose for data processing is no longer applicable. If you assert a justified request for deletion of data or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted if we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods relating to tax or commercial law); in the latter case, data will be deleted once these reasons are no longer applicable.

Information on data transmission in the USA and other third countries.
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure with respect to data protection. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transmitted to these third countries and processed there. Please note that in these countries it is not possible to guarantee a level of data protection that is equivalent to the EU. For example, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without the affected person having the right to oppose against it in court. It can therefore not be excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret service) process, analyse and permanently store your data that is located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We cannot influence these processing activities.

Revoking your consent to data processing
Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any given consent at any time. Any data processing that was carried out until the date of revocation is not affected by this revocation.

Right to object against data collection in special cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 of the GDPR)

PLEASE SEE THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE CORRESPONDING LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING. IF YOU FILE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR CONCERNED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE MANDATORY REASONS REQUIRING PROTECTION OF PROCESSING WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOM, OR IF PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL RIGHTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU FILE AN OBJECTION, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the corresponding supervisory authority
In the case of violations of the GDPR, affected persons are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their usual residence, their workplace or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists regardless of other administrative and judicial redress.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we automatically process based on your consent or when fulfilling a contract delivered to you or a third party in common, machine-readable format. Insofar as you request direct data transmission to a different controller, this shall only be carried out if it is technically feasible.

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, the operator of the website, this page uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can tell if a connected is encrypted if the address bar of the browser switches from ”http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in the address bar.

When the SSL or TLS encryption is activated any data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, erasure and rectification
Within the scope of valid statutory provisions you have the right at any time to request free information about your stored personal data, its source and recipients and the purposes of data processing, and if applicable the right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time if you have any questions concerning the above or have further questions on the topic of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time concerning this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data that has been stored by us we usually require some time to verify this. For the duration of this verification process, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
If processing of your personal data has been/is unlawful you can request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, it must be verified whether your legitimate grounds override those of ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests take priority, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
Where you have restricted processing of your personal data, such data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Cookies
Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either temporarily stored on your device for the duration of your session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted when you leave the website. Permanent cookies stay stored on your device until you delete them or your web browser carries out automatic deletion.

To some extent, some third-party cookies may be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). These cookies allow us and you the use of certain services of these third parties (e.g., cookies for the processing of payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are necessary for technical purposes since some website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or playing videos). Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or to display advertisements.

Cookies that are required for performing the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or for providing you with certain desirable functions (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping basket function) or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless a different legal basis has been specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.

You can set your browser so that you will be informed about cookies being set and only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies only for specific cases or exclude them in general, as well as activate automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functions on this website may be restricted.

5. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses the functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics allows website operators to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. For this purpose the website operator receives different types of usage data, e.g., pages visited, session duration, operating systems used and origin of user. If applicable, this data is combined by Google in a profile which is assigned to the corresponding user or its device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable recognition of users for the purposes of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google concerning the visit to our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behaviour to optimise its web services, but also to optimise its advertising. If the corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing is exclusively performed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contract clauses of the EU Commission. Please see here for details: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP Anonymization
On this website we have activated the function IP Anonymization. As a result, prior to transfer to the USA, your IP address will be shortened within the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases only, Google will transmit the full IP address to a server in the USA and shorten it there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to produce reports on website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet to the operator of the website. The IP address transmitted from your browser with Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plug-in
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that is available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

You can find more information about how user data is handled by Google Analytics in the Privacy Policy of Google: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order processing
We have concluded a contract with Google for order processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic features in Google Analytics
This website uses the Google Analytics function ”Demographics” to enable us to display corresponding advertising to website visitors within the Google advertising network. As a result of this, reports may be generated which include information about age, gender and interests of the website visitors. This data originates from Google interest-related advertising and from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time by using the advertising settings in your Google account or forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics in general as outlined under “Objection against data collection”.

Storage duration
Data at user and event level linked to cookies, user recognition (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) that is stored with Google is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. For further details, please see: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising platform developed by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With Google Ads we are able to place advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites if a user enters certain search terms in Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted advertisements can be placed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (target-group targeting). We, as the website operator can quantitatively analyse this data, for example by analysing which search terms have led to placing our advertisements and how many advertisements resulted in corresponding clicks.

The use of Google Ads is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its service products as effectively as possible.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contract clauses of the EU Commission. Please see here for details: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

6. Plug-ins and tools
Google web fonts
For the standardised display of fonts, this website uses so-called web fonts that have been provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google servers. This informs Google that this website has been visited via your IP address. The use of Google WebFonts is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the standardised display of fonts on its website. If the corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing is exclusively performed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Google Maps
This website uses the map service Google Maps. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The operator of this website has no control over this data transfer. If Google Maps has been activated, Google can use the fonts of Google Web Fonts to provide a standardised display of the fonts. When you open Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an agreeable display of our services and products offered online and to easily find the places that are specified on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6(1) f) GDPR. If the corresponding consent has been requested, processing is exclusively performed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contract clauses of the EU Commission. Please see here for details: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.
