Data protection

The BeckerBetzInstitute attaches great importance to compliance with data protection regulations. It is generally possible to use the website without providing any personal data. However, if you would like to use special services via our website, 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 will obtain your consent.

The processing of your personal data, such as name, address, email address or telephone number, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the new Federal Data Protection Act, as well as in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations that apply to us. With this data protection declaration we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

Furthermore, this data protection declaration will inform you about the rights to which you are entitled.

As the responsible body, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions (e.g. e-mail) can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free at any time to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

Definitions

Our data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 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 list the definitions used in advance in accordance with the wording from Art. 4 GDPR:

a) personal data

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject” or direct address such as “you”). A natural person is considered to be identifiable if he or she 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 special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) data subject

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

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or series of operations carried out on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or other form of provision, alignment or association, restriction, deletion or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

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

e) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data not be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

f) Responsible body

The responsible body or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, institution or other body which, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If 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.

g) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

h) Recipient

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

i) Third party

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

j) Consent

Consent is any voluntary, informed and unambiguous expression of wishes given by the data subject for a specific case in the form of a statement or other clear affirmative action on a voluntary basis by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of data concerning him or her agrees to personal data.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a cookie ID. This is a unique identifier for the cookie and consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the user’s specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

You can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser you are using, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information via the website

When you access our website, our system collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. What can be recorded are the (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are accessible via an accessing system on our website is controlled, (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 that serves to protect against threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about you as the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and ( 4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. We therefore evaluate this anonymously collected data and information both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Contact option via the website

Our website contains a contact form that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts us by email or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Deletion and blocking of personal data

We only store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the storage purpose or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which we are subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another responsible legislator expires, your personal data will be blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a) serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the provision of our service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b) GDPR .

The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c) GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may 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 injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d) GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh them. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you, as the data subject, are our customer (see also recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests in processing pursued by us or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Two common regulations are listed below as examples:

6 years in accordance with Section 257 Paragraph 1 HGB (commercial books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.)
10 years in accordance with Section 147 Paragraph 1 AO (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, for taxation relevant documents, etc.)

After the deadline has expired, the relevant data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required to fulfill the contract or initiate a contract.

Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g. by tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for you as the data subject to provide us as the responsible body with data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, you are obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with you. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with you could not be concluded.

Before you provide any personal data, you must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to you on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

Do you have any more questions? Please send us an email or call us. We will respond as quickly as possible.
