Scope of processing of personal data

We only collect and use personal data from you to the extent necessary to provide services, i.e. for

communication, e.g. if you use the contact form on our website
the establishment and implementation of contractual relationships
service and support

In general personal data are not passed to third parties with the following exception:

your data will be passed on to third parties or government bodies within the framework of existing data protection laws if, for example, we are legally obliged to do so under legislation or official or court orders or if we are entitled to do so, e.g. because this is necessary for the prosecution of criminal offences or for the exercise and enforcement of our rights and claims

Collection of general data and information, so-called log files

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected.

Our website collects a series of general data and information on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which are temporarily stored in log files of a server. A log file is created in the course of an automatic log of the processing computer system. Recorded data are:

visited web pages
browser and browser version you are using
the operating system you are using
your IP address (untrimmed) that your Internet access provider assigns to your computer when you connect to the Internet

The collection and storage of this data is necessary for the operation of the website in order to ensure the functionality of the website and to deliver the contents of our website correctly. In addition, the data serves us to optimize our website and to guarantee the security of our IT systems. For this reason, the data is stored by the provider for 3 months as a technical precaution.

All in all, it is only information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically gives us certain data, such as IP address, browser used, operating system from your computer and your connection to the Internet.
Cookies can not be used to launch programs or to transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable the correct display of our web pages.
In no case will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or a link with personal data will be established without your consent.
Of course you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via the settings of your browser. Please use the help features of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

SSL encoding

The security of your personal data has a high priority for us. We therefore protect your data stored with us by technical and organizational measures to effectively prevent loss or misuse by third parties. To protect your personal data, it is transmitted encrypted; for example, we use HTTPS based on SSL=Secure Socket Layer for communication via your Internet browser. This is indicated by the lock symbol that your browser displays when you are using SSL. In order to guarantee the permanent protection of your data, the technical security measures are regularly checked and, if necessary, adapted to the state of the art.

Further information on the data center's security measures can be found here: https://www.interxion.com/legal/privacy-policy/

Contact form

If you contact us by e-mail or contact form, the information you have provided will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use the Google reCAPTCHA service, which protects our website from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA prevents automated software (so-called bots) from carrying out abusive activities on the website, i.e. it checks whether the entries made actually come from a human being. In order to determine this, the following data is collected and processed:

referrer (address of the page on which the captcha is used)
IP address of the user
Google account (if the user is signed in to Google, this will be recognized and assigned)
the input behavior of the user (e.g. answering the reCAPTCHA question, input speed in the form fields, order of selection of the input fields by the user) is used to improve pattern recognition at Google. Browser, browser size and resolution, browser plugins, date, language setting
presentation instructions (CSS) and scripts (Javascript) of the website
mouse or touch events within the page

Google also reads cookies from other Google services such as Gmail, Search and Analytics. All of the above data is sent to Google in encrypted form. Google's subsequent evaluation decides in which form the captcha is displayed on the page - in the form of a checkbox or by entering text. No personal data is read out or saved from the input fields of the respective form.

Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal as a payment processor

AudioVero e.K. offers the opportunity to pay by PayPal. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject chooses "PayPal" as the payment option, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order.

The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.

The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Duration of storage and deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for in the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose or expiry of these periods, the corresponding data will be deleted or blocked routinely and in accordance with legal regulations. In the case of blocking, the deletion takes place as soon as there are no legal, statutory or contractual retention periods to the contrary, there is no reason to assume that deletion impairs your interests worthy of protection and deletion does not cause disproportionately high costs due to the special type of storage.

Your rights to information, correction, blocking, deletion and objection

You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to correct, block or, apart from the prescribed data storage for business transactions, delete your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer. The contact details can be found above.

To ensure that data can be locked at any time, the data must be kept in a lock file for control purposes. You can also request the deletion of the data, as far as no legal archiving obligation exists. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request.

You can make changes or withdraw your consent by notifying us accordingly with effect for the future.

Changes to our data protection regulations

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply for your next visit.

Questions to the data protection officer

If you have any questions about data protection, please write us an e-mail or contact Dr. Ulrich Brüggemann directly, see contact information above.
