We are delighted that you are interested in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for Imhoff & Stahl GmbH. It is generally possible to use the Imhoff & Stahl GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights they are entitled to by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, the company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
The data protection declaration of Imhoff & Stahl GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy statement, we use the following terms, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more particular characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing is any process carried out with or without the aid of automated processes or any such series of processes in connection with personal data, such as collecting, organizing, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, using, disclosing through transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or changes of location of that natural person.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Responsible person or person responsible for processing
The person responsible or responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.
h) Contract processor
Contract processor is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.
i) Recipient
The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent is any expression of will given voluntarily by the data subject in an informed and unequivocal manner in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative action by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

The website of Imhoff & Stahl GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data provided voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this has been provided for by the European legislator of directives and regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability in accordance with Article 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to the company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the company Imhoff & Stahl GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Imhoff & Stahl GmbH or another employee. Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is also free to exercise his right of objection in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which has legal effect against him or similarly significantly affects him, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) due to Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject is permitted and this legislation contains appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject or (3) is carried out with the express consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the express consent of the data subject, the company Hugo Häffner GmbH & Co. KG shall take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the person responsible, to state its own point of view and to challenge The decision belongs.

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. At the end of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
