Principles of data protection

Data Processing Principles at the Frank Windhorn Service Center

You have accessed this page via a link because you would like to learn 
about how we handle (your) personal data. In order to fulfill our information 
obligations under Articles 12 et seq. of the General Data Protection Regulation 
(GDPR), we are pleased to provide you with our privacy policy below:

Who is responsible for data processing?

The responsible party within the meaning of data protection law is:

Frank Windhorn Service Center
Frank Windhorn
Lange Wand
933719 Bielefeld

Our Data Protection Officer is:

Axel Veil
Jöllenbecker Str. 88a
33613 Bielefeld

You can find further information about our company, 
details of the authorized representatives, and other contact 
options in the imprint of our website: www.windhornkd.de

Which of your data do we process? And for what purposes?

If we have received data from you, we will generally only process it 
for the purposes for which we received or collected it. Data processing 
for other purposes will only be considered if the necessary legal requirements 
pursuant to Art. 6 (4) GDPR are met. In this case, we will of course comply with 
any information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 (3) GDPR and Art. 14 (4) GDPR.

What is the legal basis for this?

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally Art. 6 GDPR 
– unless there are specific legal provisions. The following options are 
particularly relevant here:

Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR)
Data processing for the fulfillment of contracts (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)
Data processing based on a balance of interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR)
Data processing for the fulfillment of a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR)

If personal data is processed based on your consent, you have the right to 
revoke your consent at any time with future effect. If we process data based 
on a balance of interests, you as the data subject have the right to object to 
the processing of your personal data, taking into account the provisions of 
Art. 21 GDPR.

How long will the data be stored?

We process the data as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose. 
If statutory retention periods apply – e.g., under commercial or tax law – 
the personal data in question will be stored for the duration of the retention period. 
After the retention period has expired, we will check whether further processing 
is necessary. If this is no longer necessary, the data will be deleted. 
We generally review data towards the end of each calendar year to determine 
whether further processing is necessary. Due to the volume of data, this review 
is carried out with regard to specific data types or processing purposes. 
Of course, you can request information about the data we have stored about 
you at any time (see below) and, if this is no longer necessary, request that the 
data be deleted or that processing be restricted.

To which recipients will the data be shared?

Your personal data will generally only be shared with third parties if this is 
necessary for the performance of the contract with you, if the sharing is 
permissible based on a balance of interests within the meaning of 
Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, if we are legally obliged to do so, or if you have given your consent.

Where is the data processed?

We process your personal data exclusively in data centers in the 
Federal Republic of Germany.

Your rights as a "data subject"

You have the right to information about the personal data we process about you. 
If your request for information is not made in writing, we ask for your 
understanding that we may then require you to provide evidence that 
you are the person you claim to be. Furthermore, you have the right to 
rectification or erasure, or to restriction of processing, to the extent that 
you are legally entitled to this. Furthermore, you have the right to object to 
processing within the framework of the statutory provisions. The same applies 
to the right to data portability.

Right of complaint

You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority 
about our processing of your personal data.
