Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization 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.

The Gerstendörfer GmbH website uses 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 for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to associate the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the 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 using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Gerstendörfer GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

Using cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to enter their login details every time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie for 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.

Furthermore, cookies already 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 available.

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject shall have 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 him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this law also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) with the express consent of the data subject.

Where the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, Gerstendörfer GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her rights concerning automated decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

The operating company of the Instagram services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14, First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.

The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and enables users to share photos and videos and further disseminate such data on other social networks.

With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which specific subpage the data subject visits each time the data subject visits our website, and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil 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 Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of 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 to our company were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that case, 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. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interests. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he 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).

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data to conclude a contract, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obligated 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. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis 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 non-provision of the personal data would have.

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

Due to the further development of our website and its offerings or due to changes in legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy.
