Cookies are small files that are saved on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our websites. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device, and do not contain any viruses, Trojan horses, or other malware. The cookie stores certain information that results in connection with the specific end device deployed.

5.1 Purposes and legal basis of data processing

Cookies and the other technologies used to process usage data are deployed for the following purposes, depending on the categories of the cookie / other technologies:

Technically necessary: Technically necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Comfort: Using these technologies, we can take your actual or perceived preferences into account to enhance the user experience. For example, we can use your settings to display our websites in a language relevant to you. They also mean we can avoid displaying products that may not be available in your region.

Statistics: These technologies enable us to tailor the design of our services by producing anonymized statistics about how they are used. For example, we can use them to determine how better to adapt our websites to user habits.

Marketing: These enable us to display relevant advertising content based on an analysis of your usage behavior. Your usage behavior can also be tracked across different websites, browsers or end devices using a user ID (unique identifier).

Depending on the purpose, the use of cookies and similar technologies to process usage data involves processing the following types of personal data in particular:

Technically necessary:

  • User input to ensure that input is saved across several sub-pages;
  • Authentication data used to identify a user after logging in to gain access to authorized content on subsequent visits (e.g. access to the customer portal);
  • Security-related events (e.g. detection of frequently failed login attempts);
  • Required data.

Comfort:

  • Settings of user interface adjustments that are not linked to a permanent identifier.

Statistics:

  • Pseudonymized usage profiles containing information on the use of our website. These contain:
  • IP addresses are routinely anonymized, which in principle means it is basically impossible to identify you.
  • We will only merge your user ID with additional data of yours (e.g. name, e-mail address, etc.) if you have given us your explicit consent to do so. We cannot use the user ID by itself to identify you.

Marketing:

  • Pseudonymized usage profiles containing information on the use of our website. These contain:
  • IP addresses are routinely anonymized, which in principle means it is basically impossible to identify you.
  • We will only merge your user ID with additional data of yours (e.g. name, e-mail address, etc.) if you have given us your explicit consent to do so. We cannot use the user ID by itself to identify you. We may potentially share the user ID and associated usage profiles with third parties via providers of advertising networks.

The legal basis for the use of comfort, statistical and marketing cookies and similar technologies is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The legal basis for using technically necessary cookies and other technologies is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this regard is a technically stable and safe operation of the website.

You may revoke/modify your consent at any time with effect for the future without this affecting the lawfulness of the previous processing based on your consent given at that time. To do this, simply click here and make your selection.

You can find an overview of the cookies and other technologies used, together with the respective processing purposes, the storage periods and any integrated third-party providers, in our Cookie Terms and Conditions.

5.2 Transfer of data to third countries

The processing of your data by means of Google Analytics, insofar as you have consented to the use of the corresponding cookies, as well as the playing of YouTube videos, causes a data transfer to servers of Google LLC,  1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. These servers are partly located in the U.S. The data transfer is based on EU standard data protection clauses.

To protect your data and to secure the submission of forms, we use Google reCaptcha, a service of Google LLC ("Google"), on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned purposes. In this context, an analysis of various information is used to determine whether data entry is performed by a human or by an automated program.

The information generated is transferred to a Google server in the U.S. and processed there. The collection and analysis do not allow us or Google to identify you. In particular, the information will not be merged by Google with personal data about you.

For more information about Google reCaptcha, please visit. https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de or https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

7. Our social media sites

7.1 Responsibilities

Responsibility for the data collection and processing described below lies partly with us, PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG and partly the respective operators of the social media platforms. For certain types of processing, we and the platform operator act as joint controllers as defined in Article 26 GDPR.

We operate the following social media sites:

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PreZero/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prezero_deutschland
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw6ZFxx5JpemTckp9RclciQ
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/prezero-deutschland/
Xing: https://www.xing.com/pages/prezero

7.1.1 Responsibility of the platform operators

We only have limited control over the processing of data by the operators of social media platforms (e.g. the management of members and the information shared). In the situations in which we are able to have influence and can set parameters for the data processing, we endeavor to ensure within the confines of the options available to us that the social media platform operator deals with the data in accordance with data protection law requirements. In many cases, however, we are unable to influence the way in which social media platform operators process data and also do not know exactly which data they process.

The platform operator operates the entire IT infrastructure of the service, maintains its own data protection provisions and maintains its own user relationship with you (if you are a registered user of the social media service). In addition, the operator is solely responsible for all questions regarding the data of your user profile, to which we as a company have no access.

For more information on data processing by the provider of the social media platform and further objection options, please refer to the provider's privacy policy:

7.1.2 Our responsibility as PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG

7.1.2.1 Purposes and legal basis of data processing

We process data on our social media sites for the purpose of providing information to customers about services, promotions, prize draws, specific topics and latest company news, to interact with visitors to our social media sites on these topics, and to respond to relevant inquiries and positive or negative feedback.

We merely reserve the right to delete content if it becomes necessary to do so. Where applicable, we share your content on our site if this is a feature of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis for this. The processing is carried out for the purpose of our public relations work and communications. The operator has no influence on how we process your data in the context of customer communication or competitions.

As already mentioned, where social media platform operators give us the option, we make sure we design our social media sites to be as compliant as possible with data protection laws.

7.1.2.2 Recipients / Recipient categories

The data you enter on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, images, likes, public messages, etc., are published for this purpose by the social media platform and are not used or processed by us for any other purpose at any time. We merely reserve the right to delete unlawful content if it becomes necessary to do so. This would be the case, for example, for posts that infringe rights or violate the law, comments that incite hatred, offensive comments (sexually explicit content) or attachments (e.g. images or videos), which may be in violation of copyrights personal rights or criminal law.

Where applicable, we share your content on our site if this is a feature of the social media platform and communicate via the social media platform. If you submit a request to us on the social media platform, we may also refer you to other secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the response required. You always have the possibility to send us confidential inquiries to our address mentioned under section 1. or in the imprint.

7.1.2.3 Obligation to provide your data

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide personal data to us. We do not collect any personal data from you when you use our pages on social media for purely informational purposes. Therefore, if you do not wish to provide us with any of your personal data, you can still visit our pages. However, in this case, you will not be able to use advanced features such as the messaging function, posting pictures or posts, etc.

7.1.2.4 Storage duration

All personal data that you provide to us in connection with inquiries will be deleted or securely anonymized by us no later than 90 days after your final reply. The information is retained for 90 days in case you contact us again after receiving a response from us on the same matter and we need to refer to our previous correspondence. Based on experience, we generally do not receive any questions concerning our responses after 90 days. If you assert your rights as a data subject, your personal data will be stored for three years after the final response in order to document the fact that we provided you with comprehensive information and that the legal requirements have been met.

Any public posts by you on any of our social media pages will remain in the timeline indefinitely unless we delete them due to an update of the underlying topic, a violation of law or violation of our guidelines, or you delete the post yourself. With regard to the deletion of your data by the operator itself, we have no means of intervention. The privacy policy of the relevant operator therefore also applies in relation to the storage period.

7.2 Joint responsibility

In some cases, we and the operator of the social media service act as joint controllers as defined in Article 26(1) GDPR:

We and the platform operator act as joint controllers with regard to the web tracking methods used by the social media platform operator. Web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. As already explained, unfortunately we have almost no control over the web tracking methods used by social media platforms. We are unable, for example, to switch web tracking off.

The legal basis for the web tracking methods is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Optimizing social media platforms and the relevant fan pages is seen as a legitimate interest for the purpose of the above provision.

Further information on the recipients or categories of recipients as well as the storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period can be found in the privacy policies of the platform operators. We do not have any control over this.

The options for exercising your rights to prevent these web tracking methods can be found in the privacy policies of the platform operators. You can also contact the platform operators via the contact details provided in the respective imprint.

We have only a very limited ability to influence and prevent the provision of statistics to us by social media platform operators. However, we do make sure that we do not receive any additional optional statistics.

Please be aware: It cannot be ruled out that the provider of the social media platform may use your profile and behavioral data, for example to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences etc. PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG has no influence on the processing or disclosure of your data by the provider of the social media platform.

8. Your rights as a data subject

Pursuant to Article 15(1) GDPR, you have the right to request information, free of charge, on the personal data stored about you.

Provided that statutory requirements are met, you have the additional right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR), erasure (Article 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR) of your personal data.

Provided that the data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have a right to object under Article 21 GDPR. If you object to data processing, the controller shall cease future processing unless the controller can provide compelling and legitimate grounds for a further processing which override the data subject's interests in the objection.

If and insofar as you yourself provided the processed data, you have the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR.

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of consent granted pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, you may revoke that consent at any time with effect for the future without this affecting the lawfulness of the previous processing.

In the aforementioned cases, please contact our data protection officer in writing or by e-mail if questions or complaints arise. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. In order to do this, you can contact the data protection supervisory authority of the state where you have your place of residence or the authority of the state in which the controller is headquartered.

9. Data protection officer contact

Should you have any further questions regarding the processing of your data or the exercise of your rights, please contact the responsible data protection officer at the data controller:
