3. General information and mandatory information

Data privacy

The owners of this website take the privacy of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data with confidentiality and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, we acquire various items of personal data. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose it occurs.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have gaps in security. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the responsible entity

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

AIRTEC MUEKU GmbH
Im Ganzacker 1
56479 Elsoff, Germany

Telephone: +49(0)2664 99 73 86 0
Email: info@airtec-mueku.de

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, solely or together with other persons, makes decisions on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses etc.).

Duration of storage

Unless a more specific duration of storage has been stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the reason for processing the data no longer applies. Should you make a justified request to delete the data or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted if we have no other legally permissible reasons for saving your personal data (e.g. retention periods based on tax or commercial law). In the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer exist.

Information on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools from companies headquartered in the USA are integrated into our website. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US server of the respective company. We would like to point out that the USA are not a safe third country as per EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to hand over personal data to security agencies without you being able to take legal action against this as the affected person. For this reason, it cannot be ruled out that US agencies (e.g. intelligence services) process and evaluate your data found on US servers for monitoring purposes and save it for the long term. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing procedures are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw granted consent at any time. The legality of data processing which has occurred up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

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

SHOULD DATA PROCESSING BE CARRIED OUT BASED ON ART. 6 (1) E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO ENTER AN OBJECTION TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES FOR PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. SHOULD YOU ENTER AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR DOING SO WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR SUCH PROCESSING SERVES THE ENFORCEMENT, EXERTION OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION AS PER ART. 21 (1) OF THE GDPR).

SHOULD YOUR PERSONAL DATA BE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO ENTER AN OBJECTION TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS TYPE OF ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES FOR PROFILING IF IT IS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. SHOULD YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS THEN NO LONGER USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION AS PER ART. 21 (2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to appeal to the relevant supervisory authority

In case of violation of the GDPR, the affected person has the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the location of the suspected violation. This right to appeal exists irrespective of any other administrative legislative or judicial remedy.

The right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we automatically process based on your consent or in the fulfilment of a contract sent to your or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. Should you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only occur to the degree to which it is technically feasible.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and for the protection of the transfer of confidential content such as orders or requests you send us, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be identified by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol on your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data which you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information on your saved personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time with questions about this or other questions regarding personal data.

The right to restrict processing

You have the right to request that processing of your personal data is restricted. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you are contesting the correctness of your personal data saved by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request that processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If your personal data was/is being processed unlawfully, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the purpose of exertion, defence or enforcement of claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted, rather than deleted.
  • If you have entered an objection as per Art. 21 (1) of the GDPR, your interests must be weighed against our interests. As long as it is unclear whose interests outweigh the other party’s interests, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – irrespective of it being saved – may only be processed with your consent or for enforcing, exerting or defending claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or a member state thereof.

Objection to advertising emails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation to send advertisements and information materials not expressly requested is hereby objected to. The owners of the website reserve the express right to take legal steps should unrequested advertising information, such as in the form of spam emails, be sent.
