2. General information and mandatory details

Information on the data controller
The data controller for data processing on this website is:
Bfz-Essen GmbH
Karolingerstraße 93
45141 Essen
Phone: +49 (0) 201 88 72 900
E-Mail: info@bfz-essen.de

The data controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint

In the event of breaches of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority within the scope of the GDPR.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Restriction, Erasure

In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified, restricted or erased. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this matter and any other questions relating to personal data.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in accordance with the legal notice requirement for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, for example via spam emails.

4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and can choose to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data on the grounds of a legitimate interest. In this case, there is a legitimate interest in the secure and trouble-free operation of the web server. To ensure this, the administration must be able to detect and trace attacks and system malfunctions via the server log files. In order to identify attack patterns, access to the server must also be stored for a certain period (in this case, a maximum of 80 days). As soon as this data is no longer required, it is deleted.
