3. General Information and Mandatory Details

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 data protection declaration.

When you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transfer on the internet (e.g. during email communication) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to protect data completely from third-party access.

Responsible body notice

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

bitformer GmbH
Middle Way 7
38106 Braunschweig

Telephone: +49 531 3499999
E-Mail: info@bitformer.net

The controller 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 duration

Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to exist. If you exercise a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. statutory retention periods for tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these grounds cease to exist.

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

If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your terminal device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing will additionally be based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, we will process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we will process your data if this is required for compliance with a legal obligation based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case will be informed in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external bodies. This sometimes necessitates the transfer of personal data to these external bodies. We only disclose personal data to external bodies when it is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, when we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using contract processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for contract processing. In the event of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing conducted up to the point of withdrawal shall remain unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data processing in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (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. You can find the respective legal basis on which a processing operation is based in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling if it relates to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority

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

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or the performance of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this and for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we will generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can, instead of requesting its erasure, ask for the restriction of its processing.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed – apart from its storage – with your consent, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser's address bar changing from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

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

4. Data collection on this website

Biscuits

Our websites use what are known as „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily on your device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used for user behaviour analysis or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted if cookies are deactivated.

If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this in our Privacy Policy.

Server log files

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

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Server request time
  • IP address

A merging of this data with other data sources will not be carried out.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically flawless presentation and optimisation of its website – to achieve this, server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request relates to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiry via email, telephone or fax

If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your enquiry, including any personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request relates to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
