3. General notes and obligatory information

 

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security loopholes. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.  

Note concerning the responsible office

The responsible party for data processing on this website is: Fried-Sped Friedrichsohn Internationale Spedition GmbH Fabrikstraße 1 D-88444 Ummendorf Tel.: +49 7351 – 3408-0 E-mail: info@fried-sped.de The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).  

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke 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, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.  

General information concerning the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and/or art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data are processed in accordance with art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Sect. 25 para. 1 New German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information concerning the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.  

Note concerning data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection can be guaranteed in these countries that is comparable to that in the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data that is located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence concerning these processing activities.  

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke the consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing that is carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.  

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVICY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS PERFORMED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 ABS. 1 GDPR). AT ANY TIME, IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE SUBSEQUENTLY USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 ABS. 2 GDPR).  

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.  

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.  

Information, deletion and correction

A any time, within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to the correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and any other questions you may have concerning the subject of personal data.  

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data that is stored by us, we usually need time to check this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the verification.
• If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercising or defence of legal claims. In addition, the data may only be processed for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons relating to an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for a technically error-free, optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is exclusively carried out on the basis of this consent (art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Sect. 25 para. 1 New German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act); the consent can be revoked at any time.
