Contact data protection: datenschutz@dauphin.de
First of all, we would like to inform you hereby about your rights as a data subject. These rights are standardized in Art. 15 - 22 EU-GDPR. This includes:
To exercise these rights, please contact: datenschutz@dauphin.de. The same applies if you have questions about data processing in our company or wish to revoke any consent you have given. You also have a right of complaint to a data protection supervisory authority.
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 marketing.
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 in any form, if possible to: datenschutz@dauphin.de.
If we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you may object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including profiling based on these provisions.
We will then no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection outweighing your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing your personal data, the provisions of the EU-GDPR and all other applicable data protection regulations are observed. The legal basis for data processing is derived in particular from Art. 6 EU-GDPR.
We use your data for business initiation, to fulfil contractual and legal obligations, to implement the contractual relationship, to offer products and services and to strengthen customer relations, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising.
Your consent to data processing may also constitute a data protection permission. Before giving your consent, we will inform you about the purpose of data processing and your right of withdrawal.
Should the consent also relate to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will expressly point this out to you in the consent. Processing of special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 EU-GDPR will only be carried out if this is required by legal regulations and if there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interest in excluding the processing outweighs the processing.
We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of the legal provisions or with the appropriate consent. Otherwise, your data will not be passed on to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal provisions (passing on to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement authorities).
Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need them to fulfil their contractual and legal obligations, e.g. for production and/or dispatch.
In certain cases, other companies in the Dauphin Group of companies or other service providers support the specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. These may be e. g. logistics, IT or sales service providers. The necessary data protection agreements have been concluded with all service providers.
Data will only be transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary for the accomplishment of the contractual relationship, is required by law or if you have given us your consent.
We do not currently transfer your personal data to any service provider or group company outside the European Economic Area.
We store your data as long as they are needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods cause that data storage must be continued. This applies in particular to storage obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. German Commercial Code, German Fiscal Code, etc.). If there are no further storage obligations, the data will be 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.
For reasons of technical security (in particular to ward off attempts to attack our web server) the data are stored for 14 days in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) EU-GDPR.
In order to protect the data stored with 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 always encrypted. We offer HTTPS as a transmission protocol for our website, always using the latest encryption protocols. In addition, there is the possibility of using alternative communication channels (e.g. by post).
Various personal data are necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the contractual relationship and the fulfilment of the contractual and legal obligations associated therewith. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.
In certain cases, data must also be collected or made available due to legal regulations. Please note that it is not possible to process your enquiry or carry out the underlying contractual relationship without providing this data.
