3. Provision of the website and creation of logfiles

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected: - Information about the browser type and version used, information about the user’s operating system, - IP address of the user, - Date and time of access, - Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the internet page contains personal data. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. The processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

4. Cookies, data storage and profiling

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use technologies including so-called cookies on various pages. Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored on your terminal device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).

5. Contact

If you contact us by telephone or e-mail, your personal data will be stored.

The telephone system stores the following data: - Phone number (source and destination) - Date and time of the call - Duration of the call - Metadata: protocol-specific connection data

We store the following data during e-mail communication: - Content of the e-mail (incl. digital signatures and file attachments) Recipient and sender of the e-mail - Subject of the e-mail - Date and time of the e-mail - Metadata: Message ID; information collected by the system (e.g. all sender and recipient addresses, Cc. as well as distribution list information, dispatch route).

The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and statutory retention periods pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO.
SAFE+ Certification GmbH has a legitimate interest in processing your personal data in order to be in contact with customers, service providers and other persons and to process your requests to us. The metadata is processed for troubleshooting and IT security purposes.
We only process your data for as long as is necessary for the above purposes or on the basis of applicable legal provisions. The personal data of the telephone system will be stored for a maximum of six months.

We take care to comply with data protection regulations in all areas of our website and our company. If you have any questions, you can contact us directly.

7. Data security

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, which is why we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website via the Internet. We protect our website and other IT systems against loss of availability, integrity and confidentiality through appropriate technical and organisational measures. Your personal data is transmitted encrypted on our website. You can recognise the secure connection by the fact that the address displayed begins with “https://…” instead of “http://…” and a closed padlock is displayed in your browser.

If the processing is carried out for other purposes, you will only have the right to object if there are grounds arising from your particular situation.

After exercising your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
This does not apply if the processing is for direct marketing purposes. Then we will not further process your personal data for this purpose.
