III - General information on data processing

    Scope

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data regularly takes place only with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

    Legal basis

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the user, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract with the user, Art. 6(1) sentence 1 b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests of the user do not outweigh this, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

    Storage period and data deletion

The user's personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose for which it was collected has been fulfilled. If the responsible party is legally obliged to retain the data beyond this, the data will be blocked from the time the purpose is fulfilled until it is deleted.

IV - Access data

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected: Information on the browser type and version used, the user's operating system, the user's Internet service provider, the user's IP address, the date and time of access, websites from which the user's system accesses our website, websites accessed by the user's system via our website. This data is also stored in the log files of our system; this data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f DSGVO. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The log files are stored to ensure the functionality of the website; in addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f DSGVO. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

V - Technically necessary cookies

Our website uses technically necessary cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user calls up a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 f DSGVO. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for the user. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognised again even after a page change. The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles. Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

VI - Contact form

Our website contains a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored. These data are: Name, address and your message. At the time the message is sent, the IP address of the user and the time of contact are also stored. Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data during the sending process and reference is made to this data protection declaration. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent. The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest. The user has the option of revoking his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. The revocation of consent is effected by sending an e-mail (info@cromatics.de) to the person responsible. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

VII - E-mail contact

On our website, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f DSGVO. The processing of the personal data serves us solely to process the contact. This also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended, i.e. when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. The user can object to the storage of his/her personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be carried out. Personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted in this case.

Exceptionally, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use the collected information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other related services.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right of objection

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests; or

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a data subject on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority
