Your rights as a data subject

First of all, we would like to inform you about your rights as a data subject. These rights are standardized in Art. 15 - 22 EU-DS-GVO. This includes:

  • The right to information (Art. 15 EU-DS-GVO),
  • The right to erasure (Art. 17 EU-DS-GVO),
  • The right to rectification (Art. 16 EU GDPR),
  • The right to data portability (Art. 20 EU GDPR),
  • The right to restriction of data processing (Art. 18 EU-DS-GVO),
  • The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 EU-DS-GVO).

To exercise these rights, please contact: office@alpha-partner-ic.com.

The same applies if you have questions about data processing in our company. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Rights of objection

Please note the following in connection with rights of objection:

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without giving reasons. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to direct advertising.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. The objection is free of charge and can be made form-free, if possible to: office@alpha-partner-ic.com.

In the event that we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We will then 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 serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

Purposes and legal bases of data processing

When processing your personal data, the provisions of the EU-DS-GVO and all other applicable data protection regulations are complied with. Legal bases for the data processing result in particular from Art. 6 EU-DS-GVO.

We use your data to initiate business, to fulfill contractual and legal obligations, to carry out the contractual relationship, to offer products and services and to strengthen the customer relationship, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising.

Your consent also constitutes a permission requirement under data protection law. We will inform you about the purposes of the data processing and about your right of revocation. If the consent also refers to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will expressly point this out to you in the consent, Art. 88 (1) EU-DS-GVO.

Processing of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) EU-DS-GVO only takes place if this is required by legal provisions and there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interest in the exclusion of the processing outweighs this, Art. 88(1) EU-DS-GVO.

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the scope of the statutory provisions or with corresponding consent. Otherwise, we will not disclose your data to third parties unless we are required to do so by mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).

Disclosure to third parties

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the scope of the statutory provisions or with corresponding consent. Otherwise, we will not disclose your data to third parties unless we are required to do so by mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).

Recipients of the data / categories of recipients

Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need them to fulfill contractual and legal obligations. In many cases, service providers support our specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. The necessary data protection contracts have been concluded with all service providers. A specific data protection agreement is agreed with the service providers here when they are commissioned.

Third country transfer / third country transfer intention

Data is only transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, is required by law or you have given us your consent. Compliance with the level of data protection is thereby ensured by corporate data protection regulations.

Data storage period

We store your data as long as they are needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data continues to be stored. This applies in particular to retention obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. Commercial Code, Fiscal Code, etc.). If there are no further storage obligations, the data is routinely deleted once the purpose has been achieved. In addition, we may retain data if you have given us your permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence within the scope of statutory limitation periods, which can be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.

Secure transfer of your data

In order to protect the data stored by us in the best possible way against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

The data exchange from and to our website is encrypted. As a transmission protocol for relevant data, we offer HTTPS for our website, in each case using the current encryption protocols. In addition, we offer our users content encryption as part of the contact forms and for applications. The decryption of this data is only possible for us. In addition, there is the option of using alternative communication channels (e.g., the postal service).

Obligation to provide the data

Various personal data are necessary for the establishment, implementation and termination of the debt relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.

We have summarized details for you in the above point. In certain cases, data must also be collected or made available due to legal requirements. Please note that it is not possible to process your request or to carry out the underlying contractual relationship without providing this data.

Categories, sources and origin of the data

Which data we process is determined by the respective context: This depends on whether you enter an inquiry in our contact form, for example. Please note that we may also provide information for special processing situations separately in a suitable place, e.g. in the case of a contact request.

When you visit our website, we collect and process the following data:

  • Name of the Internet service provider
  • Information about the website from which you are visiting us
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • The IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider.
  • Files requested, amount of data transferred, downloads/file export
  • Information about the web pages that you call up from us incl. date and time

For reasons of technical security (in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server), this data is stored in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. F EU-DS-GVO. After 7 days at the latest, anonymization takes place by shortening the IP address so that no reference to the user is made.

In the context of a contact request, we collect and process the following data:

  • Name, first name
  • Company
  • Street, zip code, city
  • Phone, e-mail
  • Message

Contact form / contact by e-mail (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS-GVO)

There is a contact form on our website that can be used for electronic contact. If you write to us via the contact form, we process the data you provide in the contact form to contact you and answer your questions and requests.

Here, the principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need to contact you. These are your e-mail address and the message field itself. In addition, your IP address is processed for technical necessity as well as for legal protection. All other data are voluntary fields and can be provided optionally (e.g. to answer your questions more individually). If you contact us by e-mail, we will process the personal data provided in the e-mail solely for the purpose of processing your request. If you do not use the forms offered for contacting us, no further data collection will take place.

Newsletter (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-DS-GVO)

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. The e-mail address and your name provided during the newsletter registration will be used for sending the personalized newsletter. The principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed, as only the e-mail address (or name in the case of personalized newsletters) is marked as a mandatory field. For technical necessity and for legal protection, your IP address is also processed when you order the newsletter.

Newsletter dispatch MAILCHIMP

Our newsletter is sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/), to whom we pass on the data you provided when registering for the newsletter. This transfer takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO and serves our legitimate interest in using a newsletter system that is effective in advertising, secure and user-friendly. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there. MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. For the evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

Furthermore, MailChimp may use this data itself in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO on the basis of its own legitimate interest in the needs-based design and optimization of the service, as well as for market research purposes, for example to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties. To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing agreement ("Data Processing Agreement") with MailChimp based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp. If interested, this data processing agreement can be viewed at the following internet address: http://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/. MailChimp is also certified under the us-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with the EU data protection requirements. Furthermore, MailChimp offers various analysis options on how the newsletters sent are opened and used, e.g. to how many users an email was sent, whether emails were rejected and whether users unsubscribed from the list after receiving an email. However, these analyses are only group-related and are not used by us for individual evaluation. MailChimp also uses the Google Analytics analysis tool from Google, Inc and may integrate it into the newsletters. Further details on Google Analytics can be found in this privacy policy under "Google Analytics". Further information on data protection at MailChimp can be found at: http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time via the unsubscribe option provided in the newsletter and thus revoke your consent. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, as well as its use for sending the newsletter at any time. You can exercise your revocation at any time by email to news@alpha-ic.com or by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter.

Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield ("EU-US Privacy Shield").

If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use saves a cookie on your terminal device. These so-called conversion cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to identify you personally.

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and that you have subsequently been redirected to our website.
