Privacy policy

of Beaucom Deutschland GmbH

 

Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is particularly important to the management of Beaucom Deutschland GmbH. It is possible to use the Beaucom Deutschland GmbH website without entering any personal data. If a data subject would like to use particular services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If processing personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

 

Personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always processed in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection provisions that apply to Beaucom Deutschland GmbH. The aim of this privacy policy is to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy also provides information about the rights of the data subjects.

 

As the controller, Beaucom Deutschland GmbH has implemented many technical and organisational measures in order to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as seamlessly as possible. However, the transmission of data via the Internet may have security gaps, which means that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, every data subject is free to transmit their personal data to us using alternative methods, for example, by phone.

 

1. Definitions

The Beaucom Deutschland GmbH privacy policy is based on the terms that have been used by the European legislature and regulator for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR text can be read under the following link: https://gdpr-info.eu/ The definitions are stated in Article 4 of the GDPR.

 

2. Controller

Since Beaucom Deutschland GmbH has less than 10 employees, no data protection officer has been appointed. The fully authorised representative of Beaucom Deutschland GmbH Wilhelm Decker is responsible within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection legislation applicable in the member states of the European Union and other provisions relating to data protection. The address is:

 

Beaucom Deutschland GmbH
Oberweg 25
82025 Taufkirchen
Germany

Tel.: +49 (0)89-6661060

E-mail: info(at)beaucom.de

Website: www.beaucom.de

 

The processor is the person in charge of processing personal data who is known to the data subject generally by means of their contact data, otherwise it is the controller.

 

4. Collection of data

The Beaucom Deutschland GmbH website does not collect any personal data or data of the automated system that it accesses. We only collect the contact data (name, position if necessary, address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address and website if applicable) that our customers and other contact persons transmit to us.

 

5. Processing of data

We store the data stated in section 3 in our own IT system and use it exclusively for the following purposes: For corresponding with you, particularly to answer your enquiries, send you quotes, technical descriptions, contract proposals, answer your questions on technical details and/or contractual conditions, send you signed contracts, deliveries, write and send you invoices, monitor payments and accounts as well as for purposes of accounting, prepare annual accounts and other financial transactions as well as prepare tax returns. If you have given us your prior consent, we also use your data in order to occasionally remind you of us and send you information about new product developments, shows and trade fairs.

 

6. Passing on data to third parties

We will pass on the invoice data of our customers to a specialist company that manages our accounts on our behalf. Furthermore, customer data may be passed on if we are obligated to do so by law or contract, as described in more detail in section 12. 

In no other cases will we pass on your data to third parties without your prior consent. 

 

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the time that it is required to achieve the storage purpose or if this has been prescribed by the European legislature and regulator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose becomes invalid or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislature and regulator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or erased according to legal provisions.

 

8. Rights of the data subject

The rights of the data subject are stated in Articles 12 to 23 of the GDPR.

 

9. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 (I) (a) GDPR is the legal basis for our company for processing operations, for which we obtain consent for a certain processing purpose. Personal data is processed based on Art. 6 (I) (b) of the GDPR if this is required to perform a contract with the data subject as the contracting party, as is the case, e.g. for processing operations that are required for delivering goods or providing other services or services in return. The same applies to such processing operations that are required to provide pre-contractual measures, such as enquiries about our products and services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that makes processing personal data necessary, such as to fulfil tax obligations, data is processed based on Art. 6 (I) (c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be 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 is injured on our business premises and the name, age, health insurance provider information or other critical information has to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In this case, data would be processed based on Art. 6 (I) (d) of the GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations can be based on Art. 6 (I) (f) of the GDPR. This forms the legal basis for processing operations that are not included in any of the legal bases mentioned above if processing is required to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, unless this is outweighed by the interests, fundamental rights and basic freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to perform such processing operations particularly because they have been specifically referenced by the European legislator. It takes the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 of the GDPR).

 

10. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If personal data is processed based on Article 6 (I) (f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities in support of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

 

11. Duration of storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the statutory retention period. Once this period has expired, the data will be routinely erased unless it is still required for fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

 

12. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; requirement for entering into the contact; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide personal data:

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is a legal requirement in some cases (e.g. tax regulations) or may arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contracting partner). In order to enter into a contract, it may occasionally be necessary for a data subject to provide personal data, which subsequently has to be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with the data subject. If personal data is not provided, we cannot enter into the contract with the data subject. The data subject must contact our data protection officer before providing personal data. Our data protection officer shall explain to the data subject in each case whether the provision of personal data is required by law or by contract or required in order to enter into the contract, whether the data subject is obligated to provide personal data and what the consequences would be of failure to provide personal data.

 

13. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling.
