Data protection
The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we treat your personal data as confidential information. We comply with all relevant statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we collect it and the purposes we use this data for.
We advise you that there are security risks when transmitting data via the internet (for example through e-mail communications). It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.
Responsible party for data processing (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)
The data processing controller of this website is:
Bureau Ritter gUG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Crellestraße 29-30
10827 Berlin
Telefon: +49 (0)30 40203320
Email: datenschutz(at)bureau-ritter.de
The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of 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 which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your 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 law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or, in the case that special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, on the basis of Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to information in your end device being accessed (for example via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. Finally, data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest, as outlined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The following paragraphs of this privacy policy provide details of the legal basis of data processing in a range of specific cases.
Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries
We use certain tools provided by companies domiciled in the United States or other non-EU countries with weaker data protection laws. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, the level of data protection is not comparable to that in the EU. Your privacy therefore cannot be completely guaranteed. For instance, companies in the USA are obligated to release personal data to the security agencies and data subjects have no right to litigate against this. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (such as the United States Secret Service) may process, analyse, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
Revoking your consent to the processing of data
Many data processing transactions are only possible if you consent to them. Your consent, when given, can be revoked at any time. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in particular situations; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR):
The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6 (1), including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
Right to log a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority
In the event of violations against the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive any data relating to you that we automatically process with your consent or collect in order to fulfil a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller. If you demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
Right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to access your archived personal data, obtain information on its source and any recipients, and on the purpose of the processing of your data. You also have right to obtain rectification of inaccurate personal data and the erasure of your personal data. If you have questions about your right to access, rectification and erasure, or any other questions about your personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to obtain restriction of processing of your personal data where one of the following applies:
In the event that you contest the accuracy of your personal data collected by us, we require a period to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to obtain a restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the right to obtain a restriction of processing of your data instead of the erasure of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to obtain the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override yours as the data subject, you have the right to obtain a restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – with the exception of storage – may be processed only subject to your consent, or in order to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements, or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities, or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator), this website uses SSL and/or TLS encryption programmes. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from http:// to https:// and also by the appearance of the lock icon on your web browser.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
