Purposes of data processing

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, information about the browser type and version used, the operating system used, the user’s Internet service provider, the date and time of access, the user’s IP address and the like.

This data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver website content requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet. In particular, it is processed for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,
• Ensuring the smooth use of our website,
• evaluating system security and stability, and
• for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are basically only order processors commissioned by us, if applicable.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties in individual cases if:

• you have given your express consent to this ,
• the processing is necessary for the execution of a contract with you,
• the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the performance of pre-contractual measures,
• the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.

For the aforementioned processing, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO , Art. 6 (1) lit. c or Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO serve as the legal basis.

Cookies

The Internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Contact form

If you contact us by e-mail or via our contact form regarding questions of any kind, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. You give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address. This serves the allocation of the inquiry and the subsequent answer of the same. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*). The provision of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

SSL-Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Deletion of data

We store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as stipulated by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted or its processing is restricted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Your data protection rights

Insofar as we process personal data about you within the scope of our website, you basically have the following rights under the respective conditions according to the DSGVO:

• Information about your personal data stored by us and its processing,
• Correction of incorrect personal data,
• Deletion of your personal data stored by us,
• Restriction of data processing, provided that we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,
• Data portability, provided that you have consented to the data processing or have concluded a contract with us.

If you have given us consent, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

You may at any time lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for you. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state of your residence, your work or the alleged violation.

Information on the right to object in accordance with Article 21 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Right to object on a case-by-case basis

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) DSGVO (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests). This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4 No. 4 DSGVO.

If an objection is lodged, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Google reCaptcha

The assertion of the aforementioned data subject rights can be made form-free and should be directed to: info(at)hy-x.de.

We use the Google service reCaptcha to determine whether a human or a computer makes a certain entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following data to check whether you are a human or a computer: IP address of the terminal device used, the website you visit with us on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks that require you to identify images. The legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our side in this data processing to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated entries (attacks).

Automated decision-making

This website does not use automated decision making including profiling according to Article 22 DSGVO.

Change of our privacy policy

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
