General and Mandatory Information

Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confid­ential inform­ation and in compliance with the statutory data protection regula­tions and this Data Protection Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal inform­ation will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declar­ation explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the inform­ation is collected.

We herewith advise you that the trans­mission of data via the Internet (i. e. through e‑mail commu­nic­a­tions) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third party access.

Responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The Textbureau will offer you inform­ation about our data processing at any time. The data processing controller on this website is:

Wolf Kiessling
Textbureau Kiessling
Isenbergstrasse 41
45130 Essen
Germany

Phone: +49 201 59 80 38 4
Email: info @ textbureau‑k.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, e‑mail addresses, etc.).

Revoc­ation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing trans­ac­tions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal notific­ation via e‑mail. 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 special cases; right to object to direct advert­ising (Art. 21 GDPR)

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provi­sions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declar­ation. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitle­ments (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advert­ising, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advert­ising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affil­iated with such direct advert­ising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advert­ising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent super­visory agency

In the event of viola­tions of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a super­visory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. 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 demand that we hand over any data we automat­ically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

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 either an SSL or a TLS encryption programme. You can recognise 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 in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Inform­ation about blockage, recti­fic­ation and eradic­ation of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provi­sions, you have the right to at any time demand inform­ation about your archived personal data, their source and recip­ients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address provided in the Imprint section of this website.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the impos­ition of restric­tions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the Imprint section of this website. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this invest­ig­ation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradic­ation 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 demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or 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.

Rejection of unsoli­cited e‑mails

We herewith object to the use of contact inform­ation published in conjunction with the mandatory inform­ation to be provided in section “Inform­ation Required by Law” to send us promo­tional and inform­ation material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsoli­cited sending of promo­tional inform­ation, for instance via SPAM messages.
