Legal matters

Privacy policy

1. introduction

This website is operated by: WILDDESIGN GmbH.

It is very important to us to handle our website visitors' data confidentially and to protect it in the best possible way. For this reason, we make every effort to meet the requirements of the GDPR.

Below we explain how we process your data on our website. We use language that is as clear and transparent as possible so that you really understand what happens to your data.

2. general information

2.1 Processing of personal data and other terms

Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal data means all data with which you can be personally identified. This is, for example, the IP address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) you are currently using. Such data is processed when 'something happens to it'. Here, for example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our provider and automatically stored there. This is then a processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).

These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

2.2 Applicable regulations/laws - GDPR, BDSG and TTDSG

The scope of data protection is regulated by law. In this case, these are the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law.

‍
The TTDSG also supplements the provisions of the GDPR as far as the use of cookies is concerned.

2.3 The person responsible

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is responsible for data processing on this website. This is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

You can contact the person responsible at:
WILDDESIGN GmbH
Wissenschaftspark - Munscheidstraße 14
45886 Gelsenkirchen
info@wilddesign.de

2.4 Data protection officer

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company. You can reach him at:
Philipp Huberty
Wichernstr. 6, 42653 Solingen
dsb-wilddesign@smartthings.de

2.5 How data is generally processed on this website

As we have already established, some data (e.g. IP address) is collected automatically. This data is mainly required for the technical provision of the website. If we also use personal data or collect other data, we will inform you of this or ask for your consent.

You provide us with other personal data consciously.

You will find detailed information on this below.

2.6 Your rights

The GDPR provides you with comprehensive rights. These include, for example, free information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You can also request the rectification, blocking or erasure of this data or lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. You can revoke your consent at any time.

The details of these rights and how to exercise them can be found in the last section of this privacy policy.

2.7 Data protection - Our view

Data protection is more than just a chore for us! Personal data has great value and careful handling of this data should be a matter of course in our digitalized world. As a website visitor, you should also be able to decide for yourself what "happens" to your data, when and by whom. That is why we are committed to complying with all legal regulations, only collect the data that is necessary for us and, of course, treat it confidentially.

2.8 Forwarding and deletion

The transfer and deletion of data are also important and sensitive issues. We would therefore like to briefly inform you in advance about our general approach to this.

Data will only be passed on on the basis of a legal basis and only if this is unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if it is a so-called processor and an order processing contract has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

We delete your data when the purpose and legal basis for processing no longer apply and the deletion does not conflict with any other legal obligations. Art. 17 GDPR also provides a 'good' overview of this.
Please refer to this privacy policy for all further information and contact the controller if you have specific questions.

2.9 Hosting

This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This includes the automatically collected and stored log files (see below for more details), as well as all other data provided by website visitors.

External hosting is used for the purpose of secure, fast and reliable provision of our website and in this context serves to fulfill the contract with our potential and existing customers.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b and f GDPR, as well as § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the terminal device of the website visitor or user within the meaning of the TTDSG.

Our hoster only processes data that is necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and acts as our processor, i.e. it is subject to our instructions. We have concluded a corresponding contract for order processing with our hoster.

We use the following hoster:
Webflow
Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
privacy@webflow.com
https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy.

2.10 Legal basis

The processing of personal data always requires a legal basis. The GDPR provides the following options in Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1:

a) the data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;
b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
d) processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
In the following sections, we will provide you with the specific legal basis for the respective processing.

4. what else is important

Finally, we would like to inform you in detail about your rights and how you will be informed about changes to data protection requirements.

4.1 Your rights in detail

4.1.1 Right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR

You can request information as to whether your personal data is being processed. If this is the case, you can request further information on the type and manner of processing. A detailed list can be found in Art. 15 para. 1 lit. a to h GDPR.

4.1.2 Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

This right includes the correction of incorrect data and the completion of incomplete personal data.

4.1.3 Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

This so-called 'right to be forgotten' gives you the right, under certain conditions, to request the deletion of your personal data by the controller. This is generally the case if the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, if consent has been withdrawn or the initial processing took place without a legal basis. A detailed list of reasons can be found in Art. 17 para. 1 lit. a to f GDPR. This "right to be forgotten" also corresponds to the controller's obligation under Art. 17 para. 2 GDPR to take appropriate measures to ensure the general erasure of data.

4.1.4 Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR

This right is subject to the conditions set out in Art. 18 para. 1 lit. a to d.

4.1.5 Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR

This regulates the basic right to receive your own data in a commonly used form and to transfer it to another controller. However, this only applies to data processed on the basis of consent or a contract in accordance with Art. 20 (1) (a) and (b) and insofar as this is technically feasible.

4.1.6 Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

In principle, you can object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or profiling.

4.1.7 Right to "individual decision-making" pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR

In principle, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. However, this right is also restricted and supplemented by Art. 22 (2) and (4) GDPR.

4.1.8 Further rights

The GDPR contains comprehensive rights to inform third parties whether or how you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. However, this is only possible or feasible with reasonable effort.
At this point, we would like to draw your attention once again to your right to withdraw your consent in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.
We would also like to draw your attention to your rights under Sections 32 et seq. BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described.

4.1.9 Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.

5 What if the GDPR is abolished tomorrow or other changes take place?

The current status of this data protection declaration is 01.03.2024. From time to time it is necessary to adapt the content of the data protection declaration in order to react to actual and legal changes. We therefore reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time. We will publish the amended version in the same place and recommend that you read the privacy policy regularly.
