3. Processing of Personal Data

Personal data are all information referring to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, photos or online identifiers. When we process personal data, this means – for example – that we collect, store, use, transmit or delete such data. In the following, we will first specify the processing purposes and legal bases of processing; thereafter we will explain details regarding the individual categories of personal data that we collect.

3.1. Processing purposes and legal bases

We and/or the service providers commissioned by us, process your personal data for the processing purposes listed below. We point out that, according to the “legitimate interest” as legal basis, you are entitled to exercise a special right to object to processing (see section 10 “Your rights as a data subject” for further details regarding the execution of this right).

3.2. Automatically collected data (server log files)

During your visit to the website, Desitin automatically collects access data, which are relevant for system security and data security, in the so-called log files of the web server. This involves the following data in particular:

• Domain and Host from which you use the internet.
• Internet address of the web page from which you have accessed this website via a link.
• Date and time of your visit to this website.
• Visited web pages on our website and respective duration.
• Amount of data transferred.
• Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer or end device.
• Operating system and information about the browser used, including add-ons installed, if any.
• http status code (for example “request successful” or “requested file not found”).

The log files are stored for up to one calendar month for the purpose of tracking malfunctions and guaranteeing system security, including detecting and tracing unauthorised access attempts and accesses to our web servers and are deleted after this period unless a suspect case of unlawful access to our web servers has occurred until then. The log files are only analysed in such suspect cases and only by authorised persons. Log files which must continue to be stored for evidentiary purposes are excluded from deletion until final clarification of the particular case and may be forwarded to investigation authorities or lawyers to the required extent.

The log files are additionally also stored for the web analysis, however without (complete) IP addresses so they do not enable conclusions regarding a specific user. For web analysis purposes, the files are evaluated in aggregated form only (for details see section 5 “web analysis”)

3.3. Processing of other personal data

Other personal data, including business related data, are only collected from you if you provide them to us voluntarily, for example when you send a request to Desitin via a contact form. These personal data are only processed to the extent necessary for the particular purpose (e.g. performance of a contract) and legally permitted, or subject to your consent. This information is not linked to other data.

3.4. Recipient of personal data

3.4.1. Disclosure of data to other controllers

Your personal data are in principle only transferred to the extent required for the particular purpose and to other controllers only in cases where this is necessary for contract performance, where we or the third party have a legitimate interest in such disclosure, or where you have given your consent. Furthermore, personal data may be transferred to other controllers to the extent we are obligated to make such disclosure due to statutory provisions or enforceable orders issued by public authorities or courts.

3.4.2. Service providers

Desitin may use service providers for data processing. In these cases, Desitin will enter into data processing agreements with the service providers to the extent necessary.

In particular, we use the following types of service providers:

• IT service providers (technical support), UK;
• Analysis tool providers, UK or USA (see section 5 “web analysis”).

3.4.3. Disclosure of data to recipients outside the EU or the EEA

We might disclose your personal data to recipients that are located outside of the UK or European Union (“EU”) or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in so-called third countries (e.g. service providers which act as processors on our behalf). In this case, we implement safeguards before the data transfer to make sure that there is an adequate level of data protection at the recipient or that you have consented to the transfer of your data explicitly. An adequate level of data protection may be ensured, for example, by the existence of an adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the respective third country, in which the recipient is located, or by the existence of other appropriate safeguards, e.g. if we have agreed on EU standard contractual clauses with the recipient.

You can request from us an overview of the data recipients in third countries and a copy of the specific provisions to safeguard an appropriate data protection level. Please use the contact form if you wish to do so.

3.4.4. Duration of data storage; retention periods

In principle, we store your personal data as long as necessary for providing this website and the related services, or as long as we have a legitimate interest in further storage (for example we might still have a legitimate interest in postal marketing even after performance of a contract). In all other cases we delete your personal data, except for personal data that we must continue to store in order to comply with statutory obligations (due to retention periods set forth by tax and commercial law we are, for example, obliged to preserve documents such as contracts for a certain period of time up to 10 years).

The following specific retention periods apply:

• Automatically collected personal data (for security reasons): 7 days
• Web analysis tool Google Analytics (see section 5): Data are stored permanently in anonymised form.

You find information about the duration of storage of cookies used by us in the following section “Cookies”.
