Privacy Policy

Our website address is: https://wints24.de.

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Wints24. The Wints24 website can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a person concerned wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Wints24.

By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, Wints24 has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Data will only be passed on to recipients outside our organisation in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. Recipients of personal data may be, for example: public bodies and institutions (e.g. financial or law enforcement authorities in the event of a legal or official obligation), tax consultants or economic and payroll tax and tax auditors (statutory audit mandate).

How long will my data be stored?

We process and store your personal data for as long as this is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations. If the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations, it is regularly deleted.

There are exceptions to this,

if statutory retention obligations are to be fulfilled, e.g. German Commercial Code (HGB) and German Fiscal Code (AO). The retention and documentation periods specified there are generally six to ten years;

for the preservation of evidence within the framework of the statutory limitation periods. According to §§ 195 ff of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, whereby the regular limitation period is 3 years.

Is there an obligation to provide data?

As part of the contractual relationship, you must provide the personal data that is required for the commencement, execution and termination of the contractual relationship and for the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude or fulfil the contract with you.

Newsletter

Type and purpose of processing:

Your data will only be used to send you the newsletter you have subscribed to by e-mail. Your name is given so that we can address you personally in the newsletter and, if necessary, identify you if you wish to exercise your rights as a data subject.

To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. When you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail about circumstances that are relevant to the service or registration (e.g. changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).

We require a valid e-mail address for an effective registration. We use the “double opt-in” procedure to check that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address. For this purpose, we log the subscription to the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the reply requested. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.

Legal basis:

On the basis of your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), we will regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by email to the email address you have provided.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

Storage period:

The data will only be processed in this context for as long as the corresponding consent is available. It will then be deleted.

Provision prescribed or required:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of your consent. Unfortunately, we cannot send you our newsletter without your consent.

Contact form

The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of personalised communication with you. This requires you to provide a valid e-mail address and your name. This is used to allocate the enquiry and subsequently answer it. The provision of further data is optional.

Legal basis:

The data entered in the contact form is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

By providing the contact form, we would like to make it easy for you to contact us. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

Google AdWords

Type and purpose of processing:

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The company operating the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have reached our website via an advert placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advert placed by Google.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

Legal basis:

The legal basis for the integration of Google AdWords and the associated data transfer to Google is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Recipient:

Each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transferred to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google. Google may share this personal data collected via the technical process with third parties.

Our company does not contain any information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

Storage period:

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.

Third country transfer:

Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Revocation of consent:

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or to set your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Provision prescribed or required:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of your consent. If you prevent access, this may result in functional restrictions on the website.

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Changes to our data protection provisions

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
