1.1 We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. In the following, we inform you about the handling of your personal data when using our website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified.
1.2 The controller for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Dominik Dauer, Don Gecko GmbH, Am Berg 5, 63691 Ranstadt, Germany, Tel.: +49 6035 9688421, E-mail: info@dongecko.de. The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
2.1 During the purely informative use of our website, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the page server (so-called "server log files"). When you call up our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. We reserve the right, however, to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line.
For the hosting of our website and the display of page content, we use a provider that provides its services itself or through selected sub-contractors exclusively on servers within the European Union. All data collected on our website is processed on these servers. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
In the context of contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your inquiry. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
5.1 Applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive rights (information and intervention rights) against the controller regarding the processing of your personal data:
IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITHIN THE SCOPE OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS BASED ON OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE CONCERNED DATA. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO FURTHER PROCESSING IF WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING WORTHY OF PROTECTION WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When processing personal data on the basis of an express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you withdraw your consent.
If statutory retention periods exist for data that is processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the expiration of the retention periods, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation and/or no legitimate interest on our part continues to exist in further storage.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data is otherwise deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
