2.3 Gen­er­al notes and manda­to­ry infor­ma­tion

2.3.1 Data pro­tec­tion

The oper­a­tors of these pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very seri­ous­ly. We treat your per­son­al data con­fi­den­tial­ly and in accor­dance with the statu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy.

When you use this web­site, var­i­ous per­son­al data is col­lect­ed. Per­son­al data is data that can be used to iden­ti­fy you per­son­al­ly. This pri­va­cy pol­i­cy explains what data we col­lect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what pur­pose this is done.

We would like to point out that data trans­mis­sion over the Inter­net (e.g. when com­mu­ni­cat­ing by email) may be sub­ject to secu­ri­ty vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties. Com­plete pro­tec­tion of data against access by third par­ties is not pos­si­ble.

2.3.2 Note on the respon­si­ble body

The con­troller respon­si­ble for data pro­cess­ing on this web­site is

Exi­Men­tor — Stef­fen Scholle
Emsring 3
44628 Herne
Phone: 023454574690
E‑mail: info@eximentor.de

The con­troller is the nat­ur­al or legal per­son who alone or joint­ly with oth­ers deter­mines the pur­pos­es and means of the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data (e.g. names, e‑mail address­es, etc.).

2.3.3 Stor­age peri­od

Unless a more spe­cif­ic stor­age peri­od has been spec­i­fied in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, your per­son­al data will remain with us until the pur­pose for data pro­cess­ing no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­tion or revoke your con­sent to data pro­cess­ing, your data will be delet­ed unless we have oth­er legal­ly per­mis­si­ble rea­sons for stor­ing your per­son­al data (e.g. reten­tion peri­ods under tax or com­mer­cial law); in the lat­ter case, the dele­tion will take place after these rea­sons no longer apply.

2.3.4 Gen­er­al infor­ma­tion on the legal basis for data pro­cess­ing on this web­site

If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, we process your per­son­al data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, inso­far as spe­cial cat­e­gories of data are processed in accor­dance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express con­sent to the trans­fer of per­son­al data to third coun­tries, data pro­cess­ing is also car­ried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have con­sent­ed to the stor­age of cook­ies or access to infor­ma­tion in your end device (e.g. via device fin­ger­print­ing), the data pro­cess­ing is also car­ried out on the basis of Sec­tion 25 (1) TTDSG. Con­sent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to ful­fil a con­tract or to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Fur­ther­more, we process your data if this is nec­es­sary to ful­fil a legal oblig­a­tion on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data pro­cess­ing may also be car­ried out on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est in accor­dance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Infor­ma­tion on the rel­e­vant legal bases in each indi­vid­ual case is pro­vid­ed in the fol­low­ing para­graphs of this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy.

2.3.5 Note on data trans­fer to the USA and oth­er third coun­tries

Among oth­er things, we use tools from com­pa­nies based in the USA or oth­er third coun­tries that are not secure under data pro­tec­tion law. If these tools are active, your per­son­al data may be trans­ferred to these third coun­tries and processed there. We would like to point out that a lev­el of data pro­tec­tion com­pa­ra­ble to that in the EU can­not be guar­an­teed in these coun­tries. For exam­ple, US com­pa­nies are oblig­ed to hand over per­son­al data to secu­ri­ty author­i­ties with­out you as the data sub­ject being able to take legal action against this. It can there­fore not be ruled out that US author­i­ties (e.g. secret ser­vices) may process, analyse and per­ma­nent­ly store your data on US servers for sur­veil­lance pur­pos­es. We have no influ­ence on these pro­cess­ing activ­i­ties.

2.3.6 Revo­ca­tion of your con­sent to data pro­cess­ing

Many data pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions are only pos­si­ble with your express con­sent. You can with­draw your con­sent at any time. The legal­i­ty of the data pro­cess­ing car­ried out until the revo­ca­tion remains unaf­fect­ed by the revo­ca­tion.

2.3.7 Right to object to the col­lec­tion of data in spe­cial cas­es and to direct adver­tis­ing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data pro­cess­ing is car­ried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data at any time for rea­sons aris­ing from your par­tic­u­lar sit­u­a­tion; this also applies to pro­fil­ing based on these pro­vi­sions. The respec­tive legal basis on which pro­cess­ing is based can be found in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy. If you lodge an objec­tion, we will no longer process your per­son­al data con­cerned unless we can demon­strate com­pelling legit­i­mate grounds for the pro­cess­ing which over­ride your inter­ests, rights and free­doms or the pro­cess­ing serves the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims (objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your per­son­al data are processed for the pur­pose of direct mar­ket­ing, you have the right to object at any time to the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data con­cern­ing you for the pur­pose of such mar­ket­ing; this also applies to pro­fil­ing inso­far as it is asso­ci­at­ed with such direct mar­ket­ing. If you object, your per­son­al data will sub­se­quent­ly no longer be used for the pur­pose of direct mar­ket­ing (objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

2.3.8 Right to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty

In the event of vio­la­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects have the right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty, in par­tic­u­lar in the Mem­ber State of their habit­u­al res­i­dence, place of work or place of the alleged vio­la­tion. The right to lodge a com­plaint is with­out prej­u­dice to any oth­er admin­is­tra­tive or judi­cial reme­dies.

2.3.9 Right to data porta­bil­i­ty

You have the right to have data that we process auto­mat­i­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fil­ment of a con­tract hand­ed over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon­ly used, machine-read­able for­mat. If you request the direct trans­fer of the data to anoth­er con­troller, this will only be done inso­far as it is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble.

2.3.10 SSL or TLS encryp­tion

This site uses SSL or TLS encryp­tion for secu­ri­ty rea­sons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fi­den­tial con­tent, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site oper­a­tor. You can recog­nise an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by the fact that the address line of the brows­er changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock sym­bol in your brows­er line.

If SSL or TLS encryp­tion is acti­vat­ed, the data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third par­ties.

2.3.11 Infor­ma­tion, era­sure and rec­ti­fi­ca­tion

With­in the frame­work of the applic­a­ble legal pro­vi­sions, you have the right to free infor­ma­tion about your stored per­son­al data, its ori­gin and recip­i­ents and the pur­pose of the data pro­cess­ing and, if nec­es­sary, a right to cor­rec­tion or dele­tion of this data at any time. You can con­tact us at any time if you have fur­ther ques­tions on the sub­ject of per­son­al data.

2.3.12 Right to restric­tion of pro­cess­ing

You have the right to request the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data. You can con­tact us at any time to do this. The right to restric­tion of pro­cess­ing exists in the fol­low­ing cas­es

• If you dis­pute the accu­ra­cy of your per­son­al data stored by us, we gen­er­al­ly need time to ver­i­fy this. For the dura­tion of the review, you have the right to request that the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data be restrict­ed.
• If the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data was/is unlaw­ful, you can request the restric­tion of data pro­cess­ing instead of era­sure.
• If we no longer need your per­son­al data, but you need it for the exer­cise, defence or asser­tion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data instead of its era­sure.
• If you have lodged an objec­tion in accor­dance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a bal­ance must be struck between your inter­ests and ours. As long as it has not yet been deter­mined whose inter­ests pre­vail, you have the right to request the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.

If you have restrict­ed the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data, this data — apart from its stor­age — may only be processed with your con­sent or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims or for the pro­tec­tion of the rights of anoth­er nat­ur­al or legal per­son or for rea­sons of impor­tant pub­lic inter­est of the Euro­pean Union or of a Mem­ber State.

2.3.13 Objec­tion to adver­tis­ing emails

We here­by object to the use of con­tact data pub­lished as part of our oblig­a­tion to pro­vide a legal notice for the pur­pose of send­ing unso­licit­ed adver­tis­ing and infor­ma­tion mate­r­i­al. The oper­a­tors of the web­site express­ly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unso­licit­ed send­ing of adver­tis­ing infor­ma­tion, such as spam e‑mails.

2.4 Data col­lec­tion on this web­site

2.4.1 Cook­ies

Our Inter­net pages use so-called “cook­ies”. Cook­ies are small text files and do not cause any dam­age to your end device. They are stored on your device either tem­porar­i­ly for the dura­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion cook­ies) or per­ma­nent­ly (per­ma­nent cook­ies). Ses­sion cook­ies are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed at the end of your vis­it. Per­ma­nent cook­ies remain stored on your end device until you delete them your­self or they are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed by your web brows­er.

In some cas­es, cook­ies from third-par­ty com­pa­nies may also be stored on your device when you vis­it our web­site (third-par­ty cook­ies). These enable us or you to use cer­tain ser­vices of the third-par­ty com­pa­ny (e.g. cook­ies for pro­cess­ing pay­ment ser­vices).

Cook­ies have var­i­ous func­tions. Many cook­ies are tech­ni­cal­ly nec­es­sary, as cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work with­out them (e.g. the shop­ping bas­ket func­tion or the dis­play of videos). Oth­er cook­ies are used to eval­u­ate user behav­iour or dis­play adver­tis­ing.

Cook­ies that are required to car­ry out the elec­tron­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion process, to pro­vide cer­tain func­tions that you have request­ed (e.g. for the shop­ping bas­ket func­tion) or to opti­mise the web­site (e.g. cook­ies to mea­sure the web audi­ence) (nec­es­sary cook­ies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless anoth­er legal basis is spec­i­fied. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the stor­age of nec­es­sary cook­ies for the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mised pro­vi­sion of its ser­vices. If con­sent to the stor­age of cook­ies and com­pa­ra­ble recog­ni­tion tech­nolo­gies has been request­ed, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of this con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); con­sent can be revoked at any time.

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 restrict­ed.

If cook­ies are used by third-par­ty com­pa­nies or for analy­sis pur­pos­es, we will inform you about this sep­a­rate­ly in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy and, if nec­es­sary, request your con­sent.

2.4.2 Con­tact form

If you send us enquiries via the con­tact form, your details from the enquiry form, includ­ing the con­tact details you pro­vide there, will be stored by us for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing the enquiry and in the event of fol­low-up ques­tions. We will not pass on this data with­out your con­sent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is relat­ed to the ful­fil­ment of a con­tract or is nec­es­sary for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es, the pro­cess­ing is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive pro­cess­ing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been request­ed; con­sent can be revoked at any time.

We will retain the data you pro­vide on the con­tact form until you request its dele­tion, revoke your con­sent for its stor­age, or the pur­pose for its stor­age no longer per­tains (e.g. after ful­fill­ing your request). Manda­to­ry statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions — in par­tic­u­lar reten­tion peri­ods — remain unaf­fect­ed.

2.4.3 Enquiry by e‑mail or tele­phone

If you con­tact us by e‑mail or tele­phone, we will store and process your enquiry includ­ing all per­son­al data (name, enquiry) for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your request. We will not pass on this data with­out your con­sent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is relat­ed to the ful­fil­ment of a con­tract or is nec­es­sary for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es, the pro­cess­ing is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive pro­cess­ing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been request­ed; con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via con­tact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your con­sent to stor­age or the pur­pose for data stor­age no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Manda­to­ry statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions — in par­tic­u­lar statu­to­ry reten­tion peri­ods — remain unaf­fect­ed.

2.6 Audio and video con­fer­ences

2.6.1.1 Data pro­cess­ing

We use online con­fer­enc­ing tools, among oth­er things, to com­mu­ni­cate with our cus­tomers. The indi­vid­ual tools we use are list­ed below. If you com­mu­ni­cate with us by video or audio con­fer­ence via the inter­net, your per­son­al data will be col­lect­ed and processed by us and the provider of the respec­tive con­fer­ence tool.

The con­fer­enc­ing tools col­lect all the data that you provide/enter to use the tools (e‑mail address and/or your tele­phone num­ber). The con­fer­ence tools also process the dura­tion of the con­fer­ence, the start and end (time) of par­tic­i­pa­tion in the con­fer­ence, the num­ber of par­tic­i­pants and oth­er “con­tex­tu­al infor­ma­tion” in con­nec­tion with the com­mu­ni­ca­tion process (meta­da­ta).

Fur­ther­more, the provider of the tool process­es all tech­ni­cal data required for the pro­cess­ing of online com­mu­ni­ca­tion. This includes, in par­tic­u­lar, IP address­es, MAC address­es, device IDs, device type, oper­at­ing sys­tem type and ver­sion, client ver­sion, cam­era type, micro­phone or loud­speak­er and the type of con­nec­tion.

If con­tent is exchanged, uploaded or pro­vid­ed in any oth­er way with­in the tool, this is also stored on the tool provider’s servers. Such con­tent includes, in par­tic­u­lar, cloud record­ings, chat/instant mes­sages, voice­mails, uploaded pho­tos and videos, files, white­boards and oth­er infor­ma­tion shared while using the ser­vice.

Please note that we do not have full con­trol over the data pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions of the tools used. Our options are large­ly deter­mined by the com­pa­ny pol­i­cy of the respec­tive provider. Fur­ther infor­ma­tion on data pro­cess­ing by the con­fer­ence tools can be found in the pri­va­cy poli­cies of the tools used, which we have list­ed below this text.
