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

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

AWM AwareX UG
Fontanestraße 5
D-71277 Rutesheim
Germany
www.awm-awarex.de
Phone: +49 7152 56 95-119
Email: kontakt@awm-awarex.de

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

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 legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.

Legal Bases for Data Processing

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is also based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a data protection officer:

Thomas Mitschele
AWM AwareX UG

Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

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

Revocation of Your Consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

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

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

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 infringement.

Right to Data Portability

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

Access, Deletion, and Correction

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction or deletion of this data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular if:

• you contest the accuracy of your personal data,

• the processing is unlawful,

• we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims,

• you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change from http:// to https:// in the browser address bar and the lock symbol.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational material is hereby objected to. The operators reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.
