The websites of Adolf Thies GmbH & Co. KG are using cookies. Cookies are text filed which are archived, and stored via a web browser on a computer system.

Numerous websites and servers are using cookies. Many cookies do contain a so-called cookie-ID. A cookie-ID is a clear identification of the cookie. It consists of a character string, by which the websites, and servers can be related to the concrete web browser, where the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other web browsers containing other cookies. A certain web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie-ID.

By using cookies Adolf Thies GmbH & Co. KG is able to provide user-friendly services to the users of this website, which would not be possible without cookie-setting.

By means of a cookie the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. As already mentioned, cookies allow us to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to facilitate the use of our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter his/her access data each time he/she visits the website, as this is taken by the website, and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of an online shop cart. The online shop remembers via cookies the articles that a customer put into the virtual shopping cart.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of respective setting of the used web browser, and thus can permanently object to the setting of cookies. Moreover, set cookies can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible with all common web browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the used web browser, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

5. Collecting of general data and information

With each visit by a person concerned or an automated system the website of Adolf Thies GmbH & Co KG collects a lot of general data and information.

The anonymous data of the server logfiles are stored separately from all personal data stated by the person concerned.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component 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=en_EN . Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject 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 calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/ , provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

15. Legal basis of processing

Article 6 I letter a DS-GVO (GDPR) is the legal basis of our company for processing operations, for which we obtain a consent for a certain processing purpose. In case that the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a contract, of which the person concerned is a contract party, as this is the case, for example, with the processing operations, required for delivery of goods or provision of other services or return services, the processing is based on art. 6 I letter b DS-GVO (GDPR). The same applies for such processing operations required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries on our products or services. In case that our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires processing of personal data, such as to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on art. 6 I letter c DS-GVO (GDPR). In rare cases the processing of personal data could be necessary to protect vital interests of the person concerned or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company, and thereupon, we would have to transmit the visitor’s name, age, health insurance data or other vital information to a doctor, a hospital or other Third Parties. In this case the processing would be based on art. 6 I letter d DS-GVO (GDPR). Ultimately, these processing operations could be based on art. 6 I letter f DS-GVO (GDPR). This legal foundation is the basis of processing operations, which are not covered by one of the aforementioned legal foundations, if the processing is required to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a Third Party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedom of the person concerned prevail. Such processing operations are particularly allowed because they were especially mentioned by the European law giver. They took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed, in case that the person concerned is a customer of the party responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO ).

16. Legitimate interests in the processing, which are pursued by the party responsible or a Third Party.

If the processing of personal data is based on article 6 I letter f DS-GVO (GDPR) it is our legitimate interest to carry out our business in the favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

17. Period, for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the period of storing personal data is the respective legal retention period. After expiration of this period the respective data are routinely deleted, unless they are required to fulfil the contract or for contract initiation.

18. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the person concerned to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We clarify, that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (for ex. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (for ex. information about the contracting party). Occasionally, it might be required for the conclusion of a contract, that a person concerned provides personal data, which have to be processed by our company subsequently. The person concerned, for example, is obliged to provide us with personal data in case of concluding a contract with our company. If the personal data are not provided a contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Before providing personal data the person concerned has to contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify, on individual cases, with the person concerned, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, and what are the consequences of non-provisioning personal data.

19. Existing of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
