2. Processing of personal data and type, purpose, duration, and legal basis

a. Storage of access data in server log files when visiting our website

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only store access data temporarily in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., page views and length of stay, click paths, intensity and frequency of use, types of devices and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions); meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, time stamps, identification numbers, persons involved). Log data (e.g., log files relating to logins or the retrieval of data or access times).

This data is collected without your intervention and is evaluated exclusively for the following purposes until it is automatically deleted. It does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
  • ensuring convenient use of our website,
  • evaluating system security and stability, and
  • for other administrative purposes.

Server log files can be used for security purposes, e.g. to prevent server overload (especially in the case of malicious attacks, known as DDoS attacks), and to ensure server utilization and stability.

Log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

This site is hosted by STRATO: Services in the field of providing information technology infrastructure and related services (e.g., storage space and/or computing capacity); Service provider: STRATO AG, Pascalstraße 10, 10587 Berlin, Germany; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR) ; Website: www.strato.de; Privacy policy: www.strato.de/datenschutz/.

Data processing for orders and the creation of a customer account is carried out exclusively for the purposes of contract fulfillment or to carry out necessary pre-contractual measures at your request, as specified in Art. 6 (1) (b).

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent given by sending the contact form or an email, but also on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in processing the data of persons interested in our offers and data processing is also necessary to process the request.

Data processing for the purpose of contract fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take pre-contractual measures that are necessary in response to your inquiry.

Data processing for the fulfillment of legal obligations is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR.

Data processing for the purposes of our legitimate interests is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR if this is necessary, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms requiring the protection of personal data do not prevail.

After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you below.

You can delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using the function provided for this purpose in your customer account.

 

c. Storage of data when registering for the email distribution list

If you register for our email distribution list, we will use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to send you our email distribution list on a regular basis (“direct marketing”). However, we require your prior consent for this.

If the content of the email distribution list is specified during registration, this content is decisive for your consent. To receive messages via our email distribution list, it is sufficient to provide an email address. However, in order to be able to offer you a personalized service, we may ask you to provide your name for personal communication or further information if this is necessary for the purpose of the newsletter.

Data processing for the purpose of sending an email is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent given by sending the contact form or an email, but also on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in processing the data of persons interested in our offers and data processing is also necessary in order to send you the desired newsletter.

You can unsubscribe from the email distribution list at any time by sending a message to info@wkm-michel.de or by using the link provided in the newsletter. We will then delete your data immediately.

 

d. Use of data for advertising communication via email, post, fax, or telephone and your right to object

If we receive your email address or telephone number in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to contact you for advertising purposes via various channels, such as email, telephone, post, or fax, in accordance with legal requirements. Your data will be processed for this purpose. Data processing for the purpose of sending an email newsletter is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR on the basis of your consent when you submit the contact form or provide your contact details in connection with an order for goods from us, but also on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in processing the data of persons interested in our offers and data processing is also necessary in order to be able to send you the desired newsletter.

You can object to this use of your email address or telephone number at any time by sending a message to info@wkm-michel.de or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising email (“opt-out”) without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates of your email provider.

After revocation or objection, we will store the data necessary to prove previous authorization for contact or sending for up to three years after the end of the year of revocation or objection on the basis of our legitimate interests. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. On the basis of the legitimate interest in permanently observing the revocation or objection of users, we also store the data necessary to avoid renewed contact (e.g., depending on the communication channel, the email address, telephone number, name).

 

e. Data use for online applications via our website

If you apply for a job with us online, for example by email or via a web form on the website, we collect and process your data for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically.

If we hire you, we will store the data collected from you for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with you, your application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests prevent deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

 

f. Customer account

Customers can create an account within our online offering (e.g., customer or user account, or “customer account” for short). If you are required to register a customer account, you will be notified of this and of the information required for registration. Customer accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. During registration and subsequent logins and use of the customer account, we store the IP addresses of customers along with the times of access in order to verify registration and prevent any misuse of the customer account. If the customer account has been terminated, the customer account data will be deleted after the termination date, unless it is stored for purposes other than provision in the customer account or must be retained for legal reasons (e.g., internal storage of customer data, order processes, or invoices).

It is your responsibility to back up your data when you terminate your customer account. Legal basis: Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

 

g. Data use when using web analysis tools (such as Google Analytics)

The purpose of data collection using analysis tools is to measure reach in the form of an analysis of visitor traffic on our website. The providers of these tools, such as Google, use the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

We do not store the raw data. We only receive anonymized evaluations that do not contain any personal data and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your identity, your origin, or other characteristics of your person.

Data processing for the purpose of web analysis is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in data processing for the exercise and maintenance of our business activities and for the professional well-being of our employees and shareholders.

Further information on Google Analytics can be found below (in section 5).

 

h. Data use when using the chat

When you start the chat, the following data is collected:

  • Date and time of the visit
  • The browser type/version you are using
  • Your IP address
  • The operating system you are using
  • URL of the previously visited website
  • Amount of data sent
  • Your first and last name
  • Your email address

Depending on the course of the conversation with our employees, further personal data may be collected in the chat, but this is entered exclusively by you. The type of data collected depends heavily on your request or the problem you describe to us.

The processing of this data serves to provide you with a fast and efficient means of contact and thus to improve our customer service.

The chat widget from Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH stores the chat history for a period of 5 years. This serves the purpose of saving you from having to provide extensive details about the history of your request and to ensure consistent quality control of our chat service. The processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you do not wish this to happen, please let us know using the contact details provided below. We will then delete the stored chats immediately.

The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Further information on the chat function of Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH can be found below (in section 6).

 

i. General information on data storage and deletion

We delete personal data that we process in accordance with the statutory provisions as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or there are no further legal grounds for processing. This applies to cases in which the original purpose of processing no longer applies or the data is no longer required. Exceptions to this rule exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer storage or archiving of the data.

In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly.

Our data protection information contains additional information on the storage and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing procedures.

If there are several specifications regarding the storage period or deletion periods for a piece of data, the longest period shall always apply.

If a period does not expressly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it automatically begins at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the period occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in which data is stored, the event triggering the period is the date on which the termination or other termination of the legal relationship takes effect.

We process data that is no longer required for its original purpose but is retained due to legal requirements or other reasons exclusively for the reasons that justify its retention.

  • Storage and deletion of data: The following general periods apply to storage and archiving under German law:
  • 10 years - Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheets, as well as the work instructions and other organizational documents necessary for their understanding, accounting documents, and invoices (Section 147 (3) in conjunction with (1) No. 1, 4 and 4a AO, Section 14b (1) UStG, Section 257 (1) No. 1 and 4, (4) HGB).
  • 6 years - Other business documents: commercial or business letters received, copies of commercial or business letters sent, other documents insofar as they are relevant for taxation, e.g., hourly wage slips, operating statement sheets, calculation documents, price labels, but also payroll documents, insofar as they are not already accounting documents, and cash register receipts (§ 147 (3) in conjunction with (1) No. 2, 3, 5 AO, § 257 (1) No. 2 and 3, (4) HGB).
  • 3 years - Data that is necessary to consider potential warranty and damage claims or similar contractual claims and rights, as well as to process related inquiries, based on previous business experience and customary industry practices, is stored for the duration of the regular statutory limitation period of three years (Sections 195, 199 BGB).

 

3. Data transfer for contract fulfillment

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that this data is transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect your data.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
  • this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, in particular to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods.
  • Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves, provided you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.
  • the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and

The Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager analysis services used on our website also transfer anonymized data to Google servers located abroad, over which we have no influence. The basis for third-country transfers is the Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

 

4. Use of cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies.

Information relating to the specific device used is stored in such a cookie. However, this does not mean that we immediately obtain knowledge of your identity. However, a specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

We use a consent management solution by means of a cookie banner with consent reservation. If you give us your consent to the use of cookies or to the procedures and providers specified in the consent management solution, this procedure is used to obtain, log, manage, and revoke consent, in particular with regard to the use of cookies and similar technologies that are used to store, read, and process information on users' end devices. As part of this procedure, users' consent is obtained for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing and providers specified in the consent management procedure. Users also have the option of managing and revoking their consent. The declarations of consent are stored in order to avoid repeated queries and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal requirements. Storage takes place on the server side and/or in a cookie (known as an opt-in cookie) or using comparable technologies in order to be able to assign consent to a specific user or their device. If no specific information is available about the providers of consent management services, the following general information applies: Consent is stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, which is stored together with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g., relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers), and information about the browser, the system, and the end device used; legal basis: consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

You can also prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the use 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. However, we would like to point out that without cookies, individual functions of our website may not be available or may not be fully usable.

We also use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. However, other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). The use of cookies enables us to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

The data processed by cookies is necessary for the purposes mentioned above in order to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Storage period: With regard to the storage period, the following types of cookies are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offer and closes their device (e.g., browser or mobile application).
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the terminal device is closed. For example, the log-in status can be stored and preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The user data collected with the help of cookies can also be used to measure reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage duration of cookies (e.g., when obtaining consent), they should assume that these are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.

 

5. Use of Google Analytics for web analysis

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”). Google (Universal) Analytics works on the basis of a pseudonymous user identification number. This does not contain any unique data such as names or email addresses. It is used to assign analysis information to a terminal device in order to recognize which content users have accessed within one or more usage processes, which search terms they have used, accessed again, or interacted with our online offering. The time of use and its duration are also stored, as well as the sources of users who refer to our online offering and technical aspects of their terminal devices and browsers. Pseudonymous user profiles are created with information from the use of various devices, whereby cookies may be used. Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for EU users. However, Analytics provides rough geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and the derived latitude and longitude of the city), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts) . For EU traffic, IP address data is used exclusively for this derivation of geolocation data before being immediately deleted. It is not logged, is not accessible, and is not used for any other purpose. When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are performed on EU-based servers before traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing.

We use the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymize the IP address of your Internet connection when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

The plugin is designed for websites that have the supported version of Google Analytics JavaScript (analytics.js, gtag.js) integrated. It is compatible with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge for deactivating Google Analytics. For the add-on to work, it must be able to load and run correctly in your browser.

 

6. Use of the live chat function from Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH

We use online chats and chatbot functions from Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH, Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany, as a means of communication on this website. A chat is an online conversation conducted in real time. A chatbot is a software program that answers users' questions or informs them about news. If you use our chat functions, we may process your personal data. You can use the chat like a contact form to communicate with our employees in near real time. Data processing agreement: Provided by the service provider.

If you use the chat services, your identification number will also be stored within the respective platform. Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH may also collect information about which users interact with our chat services and when. We also store the content of your conversations via the chat services and log registration and consent processes in order to be able to verify these in accordance with legal requirements.

Please note that the platform provider may find out that and when users communicate with our chat services and may collect technical information about the device used by users and, depending on the settings of their device, also location information (so-called metadata) for the purposes of optimizing the respective services and for security purposes. The metadata of communications via chat services (i.e., for example, information about who communicated with whom) may also be used by the respective platform providers in accordance with their terms and conditions, to which we refer for further information, for marketing purposes or to display advertising tailored to users.

If you agree to activate information with regular messages from Lime Connect (Userlike) GmbH, you can unsubscribe from the information at any time. The chatbot will tell you how and with which terms you can unsubscribe from the messages. When you unsubscribe from the chatbot messages, user data will be deleted from the directory of message recipients.

 

7. Use of XQueue mailing services

For the occasional sending of information material by email, we use the “Maileon” mailing service provided by XQueue GmbH. Christian-Pleß-Str. 11-13, 63069 Offenbach am Main. This is a provider of tools, software, and systems for professional email marketing and newsletter marketing. Order processing agreement: Provided by the service provider.

 

8. Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”), a software that allows us to centrally manage so-called website tags via a user interface. Tags are small code elements on our website that are used to record and analyze visitor activity. This technology helps us to improve our website and the content offered on it. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies with user profiles, or perform independent analyses. Its function is limited to simplifying and streamlining the integration and management of tools and services that we use on our website. Nevertheless, when using Google Tag Manager, the IP address of the user is transmitted to Google, which is necessary for technical reasons in order to implement the services we use. Cookies may also be set in the process. However, this data processing only takes place if services are integrated via Tag Manager. For more detailed information about these services and their data processing, please refer to the following sections of this privacy policy: Service Providers.
 

9. Google AdSense

This website uses Google Adsense, a web advertising service provided by Google Inc., USA (“Google”). Google Adsense also uses cookies, which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. Google Adsense also uses so-called “web beacons” (small invisible graphics) to collect information. The use of web beacons allows simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website to be recorded and collected. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website with regard to the ads, to compile reports on website activity and ads for website operators, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will never associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive and web beacons from being displayed by selecting “do not accept cookies” in your browser settings; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
