We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Nassenhof. It is generally possible to use the Nassenhof website 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 become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the data subject’s consent.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Nassenhof. 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, data subjects are informed about their rights through this Privacy Policy.

As the controller, Nassenhof has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can inherently have security vulnerabilities, meaning absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

Nassenhof’s Privacy Policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

Among others, we use the following terms in this Privacy Policy:

• a) Personal data

  Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural 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 to 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 controller.

• c) Processing

  Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, 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

  Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

• e) Profiling

  Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

• f) Pseudonymisation

  Pseudonymisation means 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

• g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

  Controller or controller responsible for the processing means 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) Processor

  Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

• i) Recipient

  Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

• j) Third party

  Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

• k) Consent

  Consent of the data subject means 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 in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

Nassenhof GmbH & Co. KG
Oberer Stehling 1
52156 Monschau
Germany

Tel: 02472 608910
Email: info@der-nassenhof.de
Website: www.der-nassenhof.de

3. Cookies

The Nassenhof website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved 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 of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Nassenhof can provide more user-friendly services to the users of this website, which would not be possible without setting cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. Cookies allow us, as mentioned before, 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, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data every time they visit the website, because this is handled 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 a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies 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, already set cookies 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.

4. Collection of general data and information

The Nassenhof website collects a series of general data and information with each call of the website by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. Collected can be the (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Nassenhof does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, these anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by Nassenhof statistically and furthermore with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Contact options via the website

Due to legal regulations, the Nassenhof website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general electronic mail address (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal provisions.

7. Rights of the data subject

• a) Right to confirmation

  Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

• b) Right of access

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain at any time from the controller free information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

  • the purposes of the processing
  • the categories of personal data concerned
  • 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 organisations
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing concerning the data subject or to object to such processing
  • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

  Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

• c) Right to rectification

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

• d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
  • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
  • The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

  If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored by the Nassenhof deleted, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of the Nassenhof will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately.

  If the personal data has been made public by the Nassenhof and our company, as the controller, is obliged to delete the personal data pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, the Nassenhof shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested these other controllers to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The employee of the Nassenhof will arrange for the necessary action in individual cases.

• e) Right to restriction of processing

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject, for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses the deletion of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
  • The data subject has lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

  If one of the above-mentioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the Nassenhof, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of the Nassenhof will arrange for the restriction of processing.

• f) Right to data portability

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which has been provided to a controller by the data subject, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, 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, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and insofar as this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

  To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of the Nassenhof at any time.

• g) Right to object

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letters e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

  In the event of an objection, the Nassenhof will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

  If the Nassenhof processes personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to the Nassenhof to processing for direct marketing purposes, the Nassenhof will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

  In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out at the Nassenhof for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 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 data subject may contact any employee of the Nassenhof or another employee directly. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

• h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which has legal effect on them or significantly impairs them in a similar manner, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is admissible under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is taken with the data subject’s explicit consent.

  If the decision is (1) necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) it is taken with the data subject’s explicit consent, the Nassenhof shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to state their own position and to contest the decision.

  If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

• i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

  If the data subject wishes to assert their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

8. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which 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, in processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the 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 were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh them. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

9. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

10. Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of the contract.

11. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. The data subject is obliged, for example, to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis as to whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

12. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
