Privacy Notice

Privacy Policy
We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of WEDA Roland Werner GmbH. Use of the WEDA Roland Werner GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company 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 generally obtain the data subject's consent.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to WEDA Roland Werner GmbH. This Privacy Policy aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy informs data subjects about their rights.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to WEDA Roland Werner GmbH. WEDA Roland Werner GmbH, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can always have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of WEDA Roland Werner GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the general public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used beforehand.
In this data protection declaration, we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). 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.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
• f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
• g) Controller
The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
• h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

• i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
• j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
• k) Consent
Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and address of the data controller
The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions with a data protection character is:
WEDA Roland Werner GmbH
Lembergstr. 46
72766 Reutlingen
Germany
Tel.: +49 (0)7121/9465490
E-mail: info@logsafe.de
Website: www.logsafe.de
3. Cookies
The websites of WEDA Roland Werner GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be associated with the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, WEDA Roland Werner GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details every time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the corresponding setting in their web browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in their web browser, some functions of our website may not be fully usable.
4. Collection of General Data and Information
The WEDA Roland Werner GmbH website collects a range of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reached our website (known as the referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed on our website by an accessing system, (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 prevent attacks on our IT systems.
WEDA Roland Werner GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. This information is required to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. WATH Werner Andreas Technischer Handel therefore uses this anonymously collected data and information for statistical analysis and to improve data protection and data security within our company, ultimately ensuring 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.
5. Registration on our website
Data subjects have the option to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may transfer this data to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.
Furthermore, when registering on the data controller's website, the IP address assigned by the data subject's internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are stored. This data is stored to prevent misuse of our services and to enable the investigation of criminal offenses if necessary. Therefore, storing this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data will not be disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or disclosure is necessary for law enforcement purposes.
The registration of the data subject, through the voluntary provision of personal data, enables the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, by their very nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered users have the option to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller's database.
The data controller will provide any data subject, upon request, with information about what personal data concerning them is stored. Furthermore, the data controller will rectify or erase personal data at the request or instruction of the data subject, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this. All employees of the data controller are available to the data subject as points of contact in this regard.
6. Newsletter Subscription
On the WEDA Roland Werner GmbH website, users have the option to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input form used.
WEDA Roland Werner GmbH informs its customers and business partners about company offers at regular intervals via a newsletter. A data subject can only receive our company's newsletter if (1) they have a valid email address and (2) they have registered to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address first registered for newsletter distribution using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that the email address owner has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system you used at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. Collecting this data is necessary to be able to trace any (potential) misuse of your email address at a later date and therefore serves the legitimate interests of the data controller.
The personal data collected during newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be contacted by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or related registration, such as in the event of changes to the newsletter content or technical requirements. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be shared with third parties. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. You can also withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data for newsletter distribution at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, a corresponding link is included in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to notify the data controller of this in another way.
7. Newsletter Tracking
The newsletters of WEDA Roland Werner GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows for a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, WEDA Roland Werner GmbH can determine whether and when an email was opened by a recipient and which links within the email were clicked.
Personal data collected via tracking pixels in newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize newsletter distribution and better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the recipient. This personal data will not be shared with third parties. Recipients have the right to revoke their separate consent, given via the double opt-in process, at any time. Upon revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by WEDA Roland Werner GmbH as a revocation of consent.
8. Contact Options via the Website
Due to legal requirements, the WEDA Roland Werner GmbH website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general email address. If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
9. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as long as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.
If the purpose for which the data was stored ceases to exist, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
10. Rights of the Data Subject
• a) Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
WEDA Roland Werner GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of such an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

11. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Facebook
The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook into this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allows the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect with others via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the data controller responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Facebook component automatically prompts the web browser on the user's information technology system to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting.
If the user is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes, with each access of our website by the user and for the entire duration of their visit, which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the user. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the "Like" button, or submits a comment, Facebook associates this information with the data subject's personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
Facebook's data policy, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings that Facebook offers to protect the data subject's privacy. Furthermore, various applications are available that allow users to suppress data transmission to Facebook. These applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data from being sent to Facebook.
12. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics involves the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of website visitors. A web analytics service records, among other things, data about which website a data subject came from (known as the referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the extension "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. With this add-on, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject's internet connection when our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Cookies were explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the respective Google Analytics component automatically prompts the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google receives personal data, such as the data subject's IP address, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission billing.
The cookie stores personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of the data subject's visits to our website. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected via the technical process with third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by adjusting the settings of their internet browser accordingly, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject also has the option to object to and prevent the collection and processing of data generated by Google Analytics relating to their use of this website. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to inform Google Analytics that no data or information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google interprets the installation of this browser add-on as an objection. If the data processing system of the data subject is subsequently deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of influence, it can be reinstalled or reactivated.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
13. Payment Method: Privacy Policy for PayPal as a Payment Method
The data controller has integrated components from PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via PayPal accounts, which are virtual personal or business accounts. PayPal also allows users to make virtual payments via credit card if they do not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is linked to an email address, so there is no traditional account number. PayPal enables users to send and receive online payments. PayPal also acts as an escrow service and offers buyer protection.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject selects "PayPal" as the payment method during the ordering process in our online shop, their data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of their personal data necessary for processing the payment.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal typically includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, and other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the specific order is also necessary for processing the purchase agreement.
The purpose of transmitting this data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The data controller will transmit personal data to PayPal, in particular, when there is a legitimate interest in doing so. PayPal may transmit the personal data exchanged between PayPal and the data controller to credit reference agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and creditworthiness verification.
PayPal may also share personal data with affiliated companies, service providers, or subcontractors to the extent necessary for fulfilling contractual obligations or for processing on its behalf.
The data subject has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of their personal data by PayPal at any time. A withdrawal of consent does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for the (contractual) processing of payments.
PayPal's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
14. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as 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 for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(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 on our premises and their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital information had to be shared with a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed where the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, second sentence, GDPR).
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. 15. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party in the processing
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
16. Duration for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
17. Legal or contractual requirements for providing personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, concluding a contract may require a data subject to provide us with personal data, which we then need to process. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide this personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or necessary for entering into the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
18. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
