Your rights as a data subject

Firstly, we would like to inform you here about your rights as a data subject. These rights are standardised in Arts. 15 to 22 of the GDPR. This includes:

- The right to information (Art. 15 DS-GVO),
- The right to erasure (Art. 17 DS-GVO),
- The right to rectification (Art. 16 DS-GVO),
- The right to data portability (Art. 20 EU GDPR),
- The right to restriction of data processing (Art. 18 DS-GVO),
- The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 DS-GVO).

To assert these rights, please contact: datenschutz@koegel.com. The same applies if you have any questions about data processing in our company or wish to withdraw your consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Right of objection

Please note the following in connection with rights of objection: 

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without giving reasons. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with direct advertising.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. The objection is free of charge and can be made informally, if possible to: datenschutz@koegel.com

In the event that we process your data to safeguard legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. 

Your personal data will not be processed by us unless we are able to provide compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your own interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. 

Purposes and legal bases of data processing

When processing your personal data, the provisions of the GDPR, the BDSG and other relevant legal provisions are always complied with. Your personal data will only be processed to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g. to prepare offers for products or services) and to fulfill contractual obligations (e.g. to carry out our service, the supplier contract or for order/order/payment processing) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or if there is a legal obligation to process (e.g. due to tax law requirements) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR). The personal data was originally collected for these purposes. Your consent to data processing can, of course, also constitute a data protection authorization provision (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Before granting your consent, we will inform you about the purpose of the data processing and about your right of revocation in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. Kögel Trailer GmbH is also interested in maintaining the customer relationship with you and sending you information and offers about our products/services by e-mail or contacting you by telephone in this regard. We therefore process your data in order to send you relevant information and offers or to contact you by telephone (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Your personal data will only be processed for the detection of criminal offenses under the conditions of Art. 10 GDPR.

Disclosure to third parties

We will only disclose your data to third parties in the context of statutory provisions or with the corresponding consent. Otherwise, data will not be disclosed to third parties unless we are obligated to do so due to mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement authorities).

Recipients of the data/categories of recipients

In our company, we ensure that only those departments and persons who need your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations receive it. In certain cases, service providers support our specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. The necessary data protection contracts have been concluded with all service providers. In addition, in cases prescribed by law, we are obliged to transmit certain information to public authorities, such as Tax authorities, law enforcement agencies and customs authorities.

Transfer to third countries/intention to transfer data to a third country

Data will only be transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary or legally required for the execution of the contractual or supplier relationship, or if you have given us your consent to do so. We transfer your personal data to (a) service provider(s) or to group companies outside the European Economic Area, namely to the United States of America. Compliance with the level of data protection is guaranteed by standard contractual clauses.

Data storage periods

Your personal data will be deleted either as soon as it is no longer needed for the purposes listed above or when you withdraw your consent. The data will only remain stored after the contractual relationship has been terminated, where we are required or entitled to do so. Regulations that oblige us to store the data may be found, for example, in the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) or in the German Tax Code (Abgabenordnung). The retention period can be up to ten years. In addition, the company is required to comply with statutory retention periods.

Secure transfer of your data

We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the data stored by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards. The exchange of data to and from our website is always encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, always using the latest encryption protocols. It is also possible to use alternative communication channels (e.g. by post).

Obligation to provide data

Various personal data are necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the contractual relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides. We have summarized the details for you in the point above. In certain cases, data must also be collected or made available due to legal provisions. Please note that it is not possible to process your request or perform the underlying contractual relationship without providing this data.

Cookies also enable us to measure the effectiveness of a particular advertisement and to place it according to the thematic interests of the user, for example. The legal basis for this is your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG).

You can revoke your consent via our consent banner at any time with effect for the future and change the cookie settings. Please note that changes must be made separately for each terminal device.

Responsibility for data protection-compliant operation must be guaranteed by the respective provider.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the respective provider as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the respective data protection information of the provider, which we link to below.

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

You can recognize links to the websites of social media services by the respective company logo. If you follow these links, you will reach the company website of KÖGEL TRAILER GmbH on the respective social media service. When you click on a link to a social media service, a connection to the servers of the social media service is established. This tells the social media service's servers that you have visited our website. In addition, further data is transmitted to the provider of the social media service. 

These are for example: 

• Address of the website on which the activated link is located
• Date and time the website was accessed or the link was activated 
• Information about the browser and operating system used

The data may therefore also be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that do not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union.

Right of access; right to rectification; right to erasure; right to restriction of processing; right to object; right to data portability; right to lodge a complaint about unlawful processing of your personal data with the competent data protection authority.

However, since we do not have full access to your personal data, you should contact the social media providers directly if you wish to make a claim, as they have access to the personal data of their users and can take appropriate measures and provide information.

Webshop (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR)

We process the data provided by you in the order form only for the execution or processing of the contractual relationship, unless you consent to further use.

The principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed in that you only have to provide us with the data that we absolutely need to execute the contract or to fulfill our contractual obligations (i.e. your name, address, e-mail address and the payment data required for the selected payment method) or that we are legally obliged to collect.

In addition, your IP address is processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. Without this data, we will unfortunately have to refuse to conclude the contract, as we will then not be able to execute it or may have to terminate an existing contract. Of course, you can also provide more data if you wish.

Application (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS-GVO

Thank you for your interest in working for Kögel Trailer GmbH. We are aware of the importance of your data and process the personal data you provide in the application form only for the purpose of effective and correct processing of the application procedure and for contacting you as part of the application process and to inform you about potential job offers. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. As part of the application form, you will be asked to provide personal data. We observe the principle of data minimization and data avoidance in that you only have to provide us with the data that we need to fully review your application documents, such as your first and last name, e-mail address and your application documents or that we are legally obliged to collect. This mandatory information is marked with a * (red asterisk). Your IP address is also processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. Unfortunately, we cannot check your application documents without this data, which is why our application system will not allow you to upload your application documents in this case. Of course, you have the option of providing voluntary information in the application form. In order to protect the security and confidentiality of your data in the best possible way, we implement appropriate security measures. Your application documents are transmitted to us in encrypted form via our application system. We store your data for the above-mentioned purposes until the application process has been completed and the relevant deadlines have expired - at the latest six months after receiving a decision. If you have given your consent to the processing, you can of course withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@koegel.com revoked.

Registration/customer account (Art. 6 (1) (a) and (b) of the GDPR)

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data in order to subsequently make purchases in our parts store. We only use the data provided in this context to perform or process the contractual relationship, unless you consent to further use. Registration is therefore either necessary or possible for the fulfillment of a contract (via our online store) with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. The principle of data minimization and data avoidance is observed here, as only the data required for registration are marked with an asterisk (*) as mandatory fields. These are, for example, the e-mail address and password including password repetition, your name, your address and your VAT number. By registering on our website, the user's IP address, the date and time of registration are also stored (technical background data). By clicking the "Register" button, you consent to the processing of your data. Please note: The password you assign is stored by us in encrypted form. Employees of our company cannot read this password. They are therefore unable to provide you with any information if you have forgotten your password. In this case, please use the "Forgotten password" function, which will send you an automatically generated new password by e-mail. No member of staff is authorized to ask you for your password by telephone or in writing. Therefore, please never give your password if you receive such requests. Once you have completed the registration process, your data will be stored with us for use in the protected customer area. As soon as you log in to our website with your e-mail address as your user name and password, this data will be made available for actions you carry out on our website (e.g. for orders in our online store). Completed orders can be tracked in the order history. You can enter changes to the billing or delivery address here. Registered persons are free to make changes / corrections to the address themselves. Our customer service will also be happy to make changes/corrections if you contact them. Of course, you can also cancel or delete your registration or customer account.

Payment systems (Art. 6 (1) (a) and (b) of the GDPR), credit check (Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR)

In our parts store, you can pay by credit card, PayPal or instant bank transfer. For this purpose, the relevant payment-related data is collected in order to process your order and payment. Your IP address is also processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. The principle of data minimization and data avoidance is observed in that you only have to provide us with the data that we absolutely need to process the payment and thus process the contract or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will unfortunately have to refuse to conclude the contract, as we will then be unable to execute it. The payment system we use uses SSL encryption to protect the transmission of your data. Note on credit card payments: As is usual with credit card payments, the credit card details are checked. Note about PayPal: PayPal is a company of PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. If the data subject selects "PayPal" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online store, the data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents 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, telephone number, cell phone number or other data required for payment processing. Personal data that is necessary for processing the purchase contract is also data that is related to the respective order. Details on data protection at PayPal can be found at: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-prev (for the legal situation from 25.5.2018).

Advertising purposes for existing customers (Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR)

Kögel Trailer GmbH is interested in maintaining our customer relationship with you and in sending you information about, and offers for, our products. We therefore process your data so we can send you relevant information and offers by email. If you do not wish to do so, you can object to the use of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with direct marketing. If you object, we will no longer process your data for this purpose. The objection can be made free of charge and without giving reasons and should be sent to +49 8285 88-0, by e-mail to info@koegel.com or by post to Kögel Trailer GmbH, Am Kögel-Werk 1 89349 Burtenbach.

Online offers for children

Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us or submit a declaration of consent without the consent of their legal guardian. We would like to encourage parents and legal guardians to actively participate in the online activities and interests of their children. 

Automated individual decisions

We do not use purely automated processing methods for decision-making. 

Links to other providers

Our website also contains - clearly recognizable - links to the websites of other companies. Where links to websites of other providers are available, we have no influence on their content. Therefore, no guarantee or liability can be assumed for this content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of these pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations and recognizable infringements at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. If we become aware of any legal infringements, such links will be removed immediately.
