Data protection information for interested parties and customers
(according to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

With the information below we give you an overview of the processing of your personal data by Weinberg & Ruf and the rights to which you are entitled.


A - Processing of personal data

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Personal data is individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable person. This information includes, in particular, your name, your email address, your address and usage data such as your IP address. To the extent necessary to provide our service, we also process personal data that we have lawfully received from third parties based on your consent or to protect our legitimate interests. If necessary, we process personal data that we have legitimately obtained and are permitted to process from publicly accessible sources (such as debtor lists, land registers, commercial and association registers, press, media). We would like to point out that by contacting us, using our internet portal and using the contact form, you are giving your consent to the collection, processing and use of your personal data within the scope of the purposes of Weinberg & Ruf GbR including its affiliated organizations. In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making to establish and implement the business relationship (see GDPR). Your data will not be used to create a profile. If there is no business connection, the personal data will be deleted.

B - Sharing of data

We may only pass on your personal data if legal regulations permit this, you have consented or we are authorized to provide information. Under these conditions, recipients of personal data may be legal entities (such as notaries or courts) or those entities for which you have given us your consent to pass on data.

C - Data retention period

If necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes, for example, the initiation and processing of a contract. In addition, we are subject to various legal retention and documentation obligations; the periods specified there can be up to 10 years. In addition, the storage period is also based on the statutory limitation periods, which are usually three years and in certain cases can be up to thirty years.

D - Collection of access data and log files

Based on our legitimate interests, we, or our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider . Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to investigate acts of abuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

D1 - Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC (provider Google LLC, Mountain View CA, USA). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of the online offering is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the user's IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offering and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools .google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Further information on data usage by Google, settings and objection options can be found in Google's data protection declaration (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https:// adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
Users' personal data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

D2 - Google Maps

We include maps from the “Google Maps” service (provider Google LLC, Mountain View CA, USA). The data processed may include, in particular, users' IP addresses and location data, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually carried out as part of the settings of their mobile devices). The data can be processed in the USA. Data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

D3 - SSL encryption

Our website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

E - Privacy Rights

Every data subject has the right to information, the right to rectification, the right to deletion, the right to restriction of processing and the right to data portability (see corresponding article in GDPR).

F - Right of withdrawal

You have the right to revoke your consent with effect for the future
The objection can be sent to us informally, either by post or by email.
