2. Subject of data protection
The subject of data protection is personal data. This means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (the so-called data subject). This includes, for example, details such as name, postal address, email address or telephone number, but also information that necessarily arises while using our website, such as the start, end and extent of use. In the following, this is referred to simply as "data".
3. Nature, scope, purposes and legal bases of data processing
Below you will find an overview of the nature, scope, purposes and legal bases of data processing on our website.
3.1 Provision of our website
When your device accesses our website, we process data for the purpose of providing the website and ensuring its functionality. This includes:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code
- Amount of data transferred in each case
- Website from which the request originates
- Browser and operating system
Processing this data is technically necessary to provide the website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, but no later than after 7 days.
3.2 Contact
You can contact us by telephone or email. If you send us an email, your details will be forwarded to the selected recipient together with your message. Any voluntary personal details you provide will also be stored by us for the duration of the communication. The data is used to fulfil your request for contact. We process this data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in order to deal with your request in the course of our activities. The sole purpose of processing your data is to handle your enquiry. We delete the remaining data of your enquiry once your request has been dealt with.
If your enquiry relates to the initiation of a contractual relationship, we process the data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This is necessary in order to develop the emerging contractual relationship. Likewise, the data transferred in this context serves the performance of the contract. Any such data will be deleted when the contractual relationship has ended or has not come about.
4. Links to third-party offerings
Websites and services of other providers linked from this website have been and are designed and provided by third parties. We have no influence on the design, content and functionality of these third-party services. We expressly dissociate ourselves from all content of all linked third-party offerings. Please note that third-party offerings linked from this website may install their own cookies on your device or collect personal data. We have no influence on this. If necessary, please obtain information directly from the providers of these linked third-party offerings.
5. Cookies
In order to offer you a wide range of functions, make use more convenient and optimise our offerings, we use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small files that are stored on your device with the help of your web browser. They assign a characteristic string of characters to your browser so that you can be recognised as a user. Cookies cannot run programs or transfer viruses to your computer, nor can they cause any damage. They serve to make our website more user-friendly overall and to enable the website to function.
Cookies used on this website:
| Cookie name | Technically necessary | Storage period | Cookie provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Yes | Session | wibfin | Session management, including storing the selected language (German/English) |
Technically necessary cookies
We use certain cookies because they are strictly necessary for our website and its functions to work properly. These cookies are set automatically when you access the website or a specific function, unless you have prevented cookies from being set through your browser settings. We process the data collected through these cookies on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Storage period
Session cookies: most cookies are only needed for the duration of your current website visit or session and are deleted or expire as soon as you leave our website or your current session ends (so-called "session cookies"). Session cookies are used, for example, to retain certain information during your session.
Deleting cookies and objecting to their use
Accepting cookies when using our website is not mandatory. If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you can deactivate the corresponding option in your browser's settings. You can delete stored cookies in your browser's settings at any time. However, if you do not accept cookies, this may limit the functionality of our offerings.
6. Recipients of personal data
Internal recipients: Within WIBFIN, only those persons who need access for the purposes set out in section 3 have access.
External recipients: We only pass on your personal data to external recipients outside WIBFIN if this is necessary to process or handle your request, if another legal permission exists, or if we have your consent. External recipients may be:
a) Public bodies
Authorities and state institutions, such as public prosecutors, courts or tax authorities, to which we are legally obliged to transfer personal data. This is the case, for example, if we are ordered to provide information about inventory and usage data of our offering, Section 14(2) and Section 15(5) sentence 4 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). The legal basis for passing on the data is then Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
b) Private bodies
Cooperation partners or assistants to whom data is transferred on the basis of consent or a compelling necessity. You will be informed about this separately.
7. Storage period
Please refer to the respective section on data processing for the storage period of personal data. As a general rule, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes or – in the case of consent – until you withdraw your consent. If you object, we will delete your personal data unless its further processing is permitted under the relevant statutory provisions. We also delete your personal data if we are legally obliged to do so.
8. Rights of data subjects
As a data subject, you have numerous rights. In detail:
Right of access: You have the right to obtain information about the data we have stored about you. To do so, please contact the contact point named above.
Right to rectification and erasure: You may ask us to correct incorrect data and to delete your data. To have data corrected, you must explain to what extent the data we hold is incorrect – Article 16 sentence 1 GDPR (rectification). Pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, it is the responsibility of WIBFIN to examine the grounds for erasure. Erasure will therefore only take place if the legal requirements are met. If you wish to submit one of these requests to us, please contact our contact point with the necessary information.
Restriction of processing: Provided the legal requirements are met, you may ask us to restrict the processing of your data. You can do so if you dispute the accuracy of our processing or wish restriction instead of erasure following unlawful processing. This option is also open to you if you wish to assert restriction together with an objection to data processing. To inform us of the reasons for the restriction, please contact our contact point.
Data portability: If you have provided us with data on the basis of a contract or consent, you can receive the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Alternatively, you can ask us to transmit this data to another controller. Please contact our contact point with a brief explanation of the basis of the processing. Whether the further legal requirements of Article 20(1) GDPR are met and your request is granted is for WIBFIN to decide.
Objection to data processing based on "legitimate interest" pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to our processing of your data insofar as it is based on the legal basis of "legitimate interest". If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing your data unless – in accordance with the statutory requirements of Article 6(1) sentence 2 GDPR – we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for further processing that override your rights. To exercise your right to object, please contact the contact point named above.
Objection to cookies: You can also object to the use of cookies at any time. For details, please refer to the information on cookies.
Withdrawal of consent: If you have given us consent to process your data, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing of your data until withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: You can also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data violates applicable law. You can contact the data protection authority responsible for your place of residence or your country, or the data protection authority responsible for us:
