3. General and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with data protection legislation and this privacy policy.

If you use this website, we will collect various items of personal data Personal data means any data which can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose we do so.

Please note that the transfer of data over the internet (e.g. email communications) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to provide absolute protection against data access by third parties.

Information on the data controller

The data controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Stiller Karosseriebau und Fahrzeuglackierung
Dipl.-Ing. Patrick Stiller
Sessendrupweg 70
48161 Münster-Nienberge

Telephone: 02533 4841
Email: info@stiller-karosserie.de

Data controller means the natural or legal person which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. name, email address, etc.).

Data storage period

Unless an alternative data storage period is specifically stated in this privacy policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for deletion of your data or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, your data will be deleted when these reasons no longer apply.

Information on transferral of data to the USA and other third countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not have adequate data protection legislation. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that it is not possible to guarantee that these third countries offer a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. US companies, for example, are obliged to hand over personal data to security agencies, and you as a data subject cannot take legal action to prevent this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store personal data concerning you located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing procedures can only be performed with your express consent. If you have previously given your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. This does not affect the legality of data processing performed before you withdraw your consent.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 of the GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU UNLESS WE ARE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) OF THE GDPR). WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

WERDEN IHRE PERSONENBEZOGENEN DATEN VERARBEITET, UM DIREKTWERBUNG ZU BETREIBEN, SO HABEN SIE DAS RECHT, JEDERZEIT WIDERSPRUCH GEGEN DIE VERARBEITUNG SIE BETREFFENDER PERSONENBEZOGENER DATEN ZUM ZWECKE DERARTIGER WERBUNG EINZULEGEN; DIES GILT AUCH FÜR DAS PROFILING, SOWEIT ES MIT SOLCHER DIREKTWERBUNG IN VERBINDUNG STEHT. WENN SIE WIDERSPRECHEN, WERDEN IHRE PERSONENBEZOGENEN DATEN ANSCHLIESSEND NICHT MEHR ZUM ZWECKE DER DIREKTWERBUNG VERWENDET (WIDERSPRUCH NACH ART. 21 ABS. 2 DSGVO).

Right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, transmitted to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transmission of data to another data controller, this will only occur if it is technically feasible.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect confidential content (such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator) during transmission, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection in that your browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and from the lock icon in the address bar of your browser. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, erasure and rectification

Under applicable legislation, you have the right to receive at any time information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge and may have the right to rectification or erasure of these data. You can contact us about this or any other questions concerning personal data at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to obtain restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us about this at any time. You have the right to restrict processing in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of personal data stored by us, we usually require time to verify this. During the period of verification, you have the right to obtain restriction of processing of your personal data.
If processing of your personal data has taken/is taking place unlawfully, you can request restriction of data processing instead of erasure of your data.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, an assessment will be made as to whether our interests override yours. Pending verification of whose interests have primacy, you have the right to obtain restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted processing of your personal data, apart from being stored, these data may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
