Privacy Policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Streifzug Berlin. The use of the Streifzug Berlin website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Streifzug Berlin. Through this Privacy Policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this Privacy Policy.
As the controller responsible for processing, Streifzug Berlin has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
1. Definitions
The Privacy Policy of Streifzug Berlin is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used.
In this Privacy Policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for processing.
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for processing
The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, through a statement or other clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.
2. Name and Address of the Controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in Member States of the European Union, and other provisions relating to data protection is:
Streifzug Berlin
Greifenhagener Straße 15
10437 Berlin
Germany
Tel.: 015129594821
Email: info@streifzugberlin.de
Website: https://streifzugberlin.de
3. Cookies
The Streifzug Berlin website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers containing different cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Streifzug Berlin can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
Through the use of cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details every time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie used for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart by means of a cookie.
The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate setting in the Internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully available.
4. Collection of General Data and Information
The Streifzug Berlin website collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the subpages accessed by an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Streifzug Berlin does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore statistically evaluated by Streifzug Berlin and also analyzed with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact via the Website
Due to legal requirements, the Streifzug Berlin website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general electronic mail address (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing the request or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
6. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right of access
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, free of charge and at any time, information about the personal data stored concerning them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data concerned
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of a right to request rectification or erasure of personal data concerning the data subject, or restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
where the personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to its source
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as processing is not necessary:
The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above-mentioned grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Streifzug Berlin, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Streifzug Berlin will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay.
Where personal data has been made public by Streifzug Berlin and our company, as the controller, is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Streifzug Berlin shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replication of, that personal data, insofar as processing is not required. An employee of Streifzug Berlin will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of its use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Streifzug Berlin, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Streifzug Berlin will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and where the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Streifzug Berlin at any time.
g) Right to object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions.
Streifzug Berlin shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or where the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where Streifzug Berlin processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Streifzug Berlin processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, Streifzug Berlin will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by Streifzug Berlin for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Streifzug Berlin or another employee. Furthermore, in connection with the use of information society services and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Streifzug Berlin shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
8. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which our company obtains consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries concerning our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such a case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed where the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
9. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit and well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
10. Period for Which Personal Data Will Be Stored
The criterion used to determine the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Once this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for initiating a contract.
11. Statutory or Contractual Requirements Concerning the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for Entering into a Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide Such Data
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information concerning the contractual partner).
In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data where our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences failure to provide the personal data would have.
12. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
