Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under the data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always in line with the German Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "Labora Holding GmbH". By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by post.

You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. Therefore, we would like to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:  

• Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with strong passwords.

• Only you should have access to the passwords.

• Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
  

• Do not use one password for different websites, applications or online services.

• Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, the following applies: It is imperative that you log out after each login to a website, an application or an online service.

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, one's own name or names of relatives, but upper and lower case, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance Maker when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

 

1.  Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2.  Person concerned

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

3.  Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4.  Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

5  Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

6.  Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7.  Processors

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

8.  Receiver

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

9.  Third party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

10.  Consent

Consent means any freely given and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 

5. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO (in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DS-GVO.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DS-GVO.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

Our offer is basically aimed at adults. Persons under 16 years of age may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

 

6. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share your personal data with third parties if:

 

1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO,

2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,

3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c DS-GVO, as well as

4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

 

In order to protect your data and to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Article 49 (1) a) of the GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR.

 

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to  ensure  the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When using our website for information purposes only, i.e. when not registering or otherwise transmitting information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of a page by you or by an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

 

1. Browser types and versions used,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),

4. the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

5. the date and time of access to the website,

6. an Internet Protocol (IP) address; and,

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

 

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

 

1. to deliver the contents of our website correctly,

2. to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,

3. to ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and

4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

 

Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

 

8. cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case from the context of the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

9. Contents of our website

9.1 Registering as a user

You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data.

 

Which personal data is transmitted to us in this process can be seen from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for it to be passed on to one or more order processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to us.

By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offences. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if the data is passed on for the purpose of criminal prosecution.

Your registration, with voluntary provision of personal data, also serves us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

Upon request, we will provide you at any time with information about which personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

The processing of your data is in the interest of a comfortable and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

 

9.2 Contact / Contact form

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DS-GVO. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, you have the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.

10.7 Objection Art. 21 DS-GVO

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) (data processing in the public interest) or (f) (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests) of the GDPR.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 DS-GVO.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In individual cases, we process personal data in order to carry out direct advertising. You may object to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object to us processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the Data Protection Regulation, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

You are free to exercise your right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

10.8 Revocation of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future.

10.9 Complaint to a supervisory authority

You have the right to complain about our processing of personal data to a supervisory authority responsible for data protection.

 

11. Routine storage, deletion and blocking of personal data

We process and store your personal data only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the legal provisions to which our company is subject.

12. Duration of the storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

This privacy policy is currently valid and has the status: October 2022.

Due to the further development of our Internet pages and offers or due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this data protection declaration.
