We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

1. Who is responsible for the processing of personal data and whom can I contact if I have any questions?

You can revoke your consent for the future at any time by sending an email to dsgvo@innofleet.de.

2. How do we collect your information?

Your data is collected when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website. Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. In addition, your data is collected by you providing it to us. Your personal data is used and stored for the fulfilment of the existing contract with you or the implementation of the contractual or pre-contractual measures requested by you (e.g. preparation of an offer, answering a contact enquiry) as well as for our own advertising purposes.

3. Data sharing

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
– you have given your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO,
– on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO in the economic and effective operation of our business,
– in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO, as well as
– this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

4. Data processing for the purpose of contract initiation and processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO)

The processing of the data is necessary for the initiation, execution and settlement of the contract. The following types of personal data are processed within the scope of project processing: Name of the customer, address data, telephone number, e-mail address for the preparation of the contractually agreed services, dispatch of invoices if necessary reminders, processing of payment, communication with the customer, complaint management. The personal data are processed for the following purposes on the following legal basis:
– Fulfilment (including invoicing) of the contract (and implementation of pre-contractual measures upon your request) on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
– Direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or your consent and on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO and

– Compliance with legal archiving and storage obligations (e.g. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO) on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO

5. Is there any disclosure of personal data to other bodies?

Within our company, those departments receive access to the data that need it to fulfil the above-mentioned purposes. This also applies to service providers and vicarious agents employed by us. Personal data will only be transmitted by us to third parties if this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes or if you have given your prior consent.
Recipients of personal data may be, for example: Financial and tax authorities, trade credit insurance (EulerHermes), collection service providers, insurance companies, banks and credit institutions (payment processing), planning partners, commercial agents, auditors, internet service providers (e.g. Google) and internet agencies, lawyers and auditors.
The legal basis for these transfers is Article 6(1)(b) and Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. Transfers based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR may only take place if this is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the site operators or third parties and if the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, do not take precedence.

6. Deleting data

Your/their personal data will be stored for the above-mentioned purposes. Your data will be processed for the first time from the time of collection, insofar as you or a third party provide it to us. Your/the personal data will be deleted when the contractual relationship with you/the customer has ended or the joint project has ended, all mutual claims have been fulfilled and there are no other legal retention obligations or legal justification reasons for the storage. These are the retention obligations from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). This means that your personal data will be deleted at the latest after expiry of the statutory retention obligations, which is usually 10 years after the end of the contract.
Physical documents relating to the projects are destroyed within the same periods.

7. Rights of data subjects

You have the right
– to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO.

– in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its erasure and we no longer require the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO;
– pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller;

12. Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plug-ins from the social networks LinkedIn, XING and Twitter on our website on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO in order to raise awareness of our law firm. The underlying promotional purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the DSGVO. The responsibility for data protection-compliant operation is to be ensured by their respective providers. We integrate these plug-ins using the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website as best as possible.

a) LinkedIn
Our website also uses the “share function” of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you click on the LinkedIn “share button” (plug-in), you will be redirected to your user account in a separate browser window – provided you are logged in to your LinkedIn user account – and can share the electronic publication stored on our website by adding a comment. The plug-in establishes a direct connection between your browser and the LinkedIn server. LinkedIn thereby receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. In addition, it is then possible for LinkedIn to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted (personal) data or its use by LinkedIn. You can find more information on this in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

b) XING
Our website also uses the “share function” of the XING network. The provider is XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany. If you click on the XING “Share button” (plug-in), you will be redirected to your user account in a separate browser window – provided you are logged in to your XING user account – and can share the electronic publication stored on our website by adding a comment. The plug-in establishes a direct connection between your browser and the XING server. XING thereby receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted (personal) data or its use by XING. You can find more information on this in the XING privacy policy at: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.

c) Twitter

Plugins of the Twitter Inc. short message network (Twitter) are integrated on our website. You can recognise the Twitter plugins (tweet button) by the Twitter logo on our site. You can find an overview of tweet buttons here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons).

When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Twitter “tweet button” while you are logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our pages on your Twitter profile. This enables Twitter to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter.

If you do not wish Twitter to be able to associate your visit to our pages, please log out of your Twitter user account.

You can find more information on this in Twitter’s privacy policy (https://twitter.com/privacy).
