Information on Data Processing and Protection

DEUBLIN welcomes your visit to our website as well as your interest in our company and our products.

Data protection has a high priority for DEUBLIN (hereinafter also referred to as "we", "us"). Therefore, the principle applies: Where personal data is processed, a high level of data protection and data security must be guaranteed. This applies to data from customers, suppliers and business partners as well as employee data.

As a global company we want to comply with the different legal requirements that apply worldwide to the collection and processing of personal data. The European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) establishes a common European standard supplemented by existing national regulations.

In the following, we will inform you about how we implement this standard within the company.

The use of the Internet pages of DEUBLIN is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to DEUBLIN. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, DEUBLIN has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

Personal Information

For the purpose of this Privacy Policy Statement, "personal information" means information about any identified or identifiable individual.

We may also collect technical information to help us identify your device for fraud prevention and diagnostic purposes.

We may supplement the information that you provide with information that is received from third parties. Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so the website can recognize you as you browse between web pages on the website. These cookies may collect the operating system and browser that you are using, and accumulate and report anonymous, statistical information on website usage. We may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your information so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site, to determine the type of information that you are looking for on the Site, to improve the Site and for other purposes. We also may use information about the website you visited immediately prior to the Site to assess the viability of links to the Site that we have created on third party websites.

We do not use cookies to identify or track any personal information other than personal information linked to your browser and IP address, which may be considered personal information in some countries. If you do not wish to have a cookie sent to your browser, you can change the settings on your internet browser to stop it from automatically accepting cookies, or you can exercise choices to opt-out of advertising cookies at www.networkadvertising.org/choices. If you opt not to accept cookies, however, you may not be able to benefit from all features of our Site.

“Do Not Track” signals are options available on your browser to tell operators of websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked. Our Site operates no differently if these “Do Not Track” signals are enabled or disabled.

When We Disclose Your Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to third parties engaged to assist us in providing products or services to you or to carry out one or more of the purposes described above, such as in connection with shipping products to you.

We reserve the right to cooperate fully with local, state and federal officials in any investigation relating to any personal information (including private electronic communications transmitted on the Site or any other website owned or operated by DEUBLIN) or relating to any purportedly unlawful activities. We may also use and disclose personal information in order to investigate, establish, or enforce our legal rights.

We reserve the right to disclose and transfer personal information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual sale, merger or other transfer of the assets or shares of DEUBLIN Company or a division thereof, provided that the information does not constitute all or substantially all of the assets being transferred.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information collected from you and under our control is protected against loss, misuse, alteration or unauthorized access. Access to your personal information is designed to be restricted to selected DEUBLIN employees or representatives. In addition, we employ reasonable information security techniques, such as firewalls and access control procedures, to protect personal information against loss and unauthorized access.

Should you register for an online account with DEUBLIN, you are responsible for protecting against unauthorized access to your account password and to your computer.

Criminals use various techniques to gather your personal information for use in identity theft, credit fraud and other illegal activities. Our Site is not immune from such attacks. These attempts may be sophisticated in nature and designed to appear that they are requests from companies with which you may have a legitimate relationship. Do not provide your personal information to a third party unless you are certain of that party’s identity. If you are concerned that a third party is trying to obtain your information by impersonating DEUBLIN, please contact DEUBLIN at privacy@deublin.com

Shipping to Third Parties

When personal information is provided to us about the intended recipient of a shipment, we use that information solely for the purposes of processing the shipment and, in some cases, to communicate with the intended recipient to provide information pertaining to the status of the shipment. We rely on our customers to obtain the intended recipient's consent to our use of their personal information for these limited purposes.

Links to Third Party Sites

The Site may offer links to other websites. In addition, you may have visited the Site through a link or a banner advertisement on another website. In such cases, the website you linked from or link to may collect information from people who click on the banner or link. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by any other website. We make no guarantees, representations or warranties as to the privacy practices of any other website, including websites that may be reached by links in the Site. After leaving the Site, whether via a link contained on the Site or through the use of your web browser or some other navigational tool, this Privacy Policy Statement is no longer in effect. It is important to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of other websites before providing them with your personal information.

Data Retention

We store personal data for different periods of time consistent with the purposes for which they were originally collected, as subsequently further authorized, or when required or allowed under applicable law.

Access to Personal Information and Withdrawal of Consent

You may contact us at privacy@deublin.com to request access to or correction or update of your personal information.

For European Union residents, we undertake marketing only with your expressive affirmative consent and in compliance with applicable data privacy laws. EU residents will not be added to the marketing lists unless they have already provided express affirmative consent consistent with applicable data protection laws. For United States residents, we undertake marketing only in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and other applicable law.

You may request to no longer receive future communications from us, and you may withdraw consent to our collection and retention of your personal information at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us at privacy@deublin.com.

If you believe that DEUBLIN may be processing data about you and wish to have access to that information, we can provide you with that data or at least an explanation of why we cannot do so in the particular context, such as when only our client or vendor, the data controllers, have the right to provide such access, or if responding to the request would be unreasonably expensive.

Subscription to our Newsletters

On the website of DEUBLIN, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

DEUBLIN informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

Newsletter-Tracking

The newsletter of DEUBLIN contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, DEUBLIN may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. DEUBLIN automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

Contact possibility via the website

The website of DEUBLIN contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

Rights of the Data Subject

Right of Confirmation

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

Right of Access

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the

European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:

the purposes of the processing;
the categories of personal data concerned;
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations;
where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

Right to Rectification

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

Right to Erasure (Right to be forgotten)

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by DEUBLIN, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of DEUBLIN GmbH shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employee of DEUBLIN will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

Right of Restriction of Processing

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by DEUBLIN, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of DEUBLIN will arrange the restriction of the processing.

Right to Data Portability

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of DEUBLIN.

Right to Object

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator 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) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

DEUBLIN shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If DEUBLIN processes personal data 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. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to DEUBLIN to the processing for direct marketing purposes, DEUBLIN will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by DEUBLIN for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of DEUBLIN. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, DEUBLIN shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of DEUBLIN.

Right to withdraw data protection consent

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of DEUBLIN.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google+

On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google through the respective Google+ button component. During the course of this technical procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available under https://developers.google.com/+/.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account associated with the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ 1 recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on other Google services, such as search-engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored on Google. Google further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing the various Google services.

Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the data subject visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on the Google+ button.

If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling up our website.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google AdWords

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.

YouTube's data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

2.	Scope
	This Data Protection Policy applies to the DEUBLIN Company. It applies whenever the DEUBLIN Company acts as the processor or as the controller of personal data, for their employees as well as for persons such as temporary workers. It covers all processing of personal data in the company. This Policy applies to DEUBLIN Company and its employees (or employees of functional equivalents, such as temporary workers, interns, etc.) who process personal data themselves as "responsible persons" or on behalf of "processors". Anonymized data (such as for statistical evaluations) as well as company data or data of legal persons are not subject to the Data Protection Policy, unless they permit conclusions to a certain person. This Policy applies to DEUBLIN Company affiliates and their employees (or employees of functional equivalents, such as temporary workers, interns, etc.) who process personal data from DEUBLIN or otherwise about persons who reside in the European Economic Area.

3. a.	Definitions Personal data
	is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "the data subject"); a natural person is identified as being identifiable directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, identifier, location data, an online identifier or one or more particular features.
b.	Special categories of personal data
	include information on racial and ethnic origin, political opinion, trade union affiliation, political opinion, religious or ideological conviction, genetic data, biometric data for definite identification of a person, health, sexual life, or sexual orientation. These are subject to special protection regulations.
c.	Processing
	of personal data is any process carried out with or without the help of automated procedures or any such series of operations in connection with personal data such as collection, gathering, organization, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, use, disclosure by transmission, publishing or any other form of providing information, matching or linking, limitation, deletion or destruction.
d.	Anonymization
	Data are anonymized when a no personal reference is possible permanently and by anyone, or if the reference can only be recovered with a disproportionate amount of time, costs and labor power. An essential part of the anonymization is, in any case, the deletion of explicit or direct identification features, such as names and addresses, person identifiers, account numbers.
e.	Data transmission
	is the transfer of data to a third party (other controller), including the retrieval of the data.
f.	An order processing
	is carried out when an (external) contractor is charged with the processing of personal data and he processes these data strictly according to the instructions of DEUBLIN Company as a customer (e.g. storage of data in the data center, printing / sending of salary statements, destruction of data media or paper waste, possible data access from maintenance work). DEUBLIN has to select a processor, in particular, according to compliance with data protection regulations.
4. a.	Responsibilities Management
	The managing directors of DEUBLIN are responsible for data processing in their area of responsibility. It is the responsibility of the management to ensure a legally compliant data processing through organizational, technical and personnel measures and guidelines.
b.	Employees
	Each employee is responsible for the compliance and implementation of these requirements in his area and must ensure that the data protection requirements comply with in the selection of any contractors who are to be employed, by means of appropriate selection and monitoring. Employees, who maintain customer contacts due to their role, only collect data essential for the conduct of the business.
c.	Data Protection Coordinator
	DEUBLIN does not require appointment of a formal data protection officer (DPO), but has appointed a data protection coordinator (DPC), Jan Sabel, IT Manager at DEUBLIN to serve as the group data protection representative. Each local HR manager may also be consulted regarding country-specific issues, and, if required under local law, individual country entities may be required to appoint a DPO with duties limited to that country. If a formal data protection officer is required under European or national law or otherwise considered prudent to appoint, management will appoint and empower a formal data protection officer (DPO) in writing. The DPC is responsible in particular for informing and advising management and employees of DEUBLIN in regard to operation of the data processing, monitoring of compliance with data protection requirements, as well as cooperation with the supervisory authority. The DPC shall monitor, where necessary, the legal basis of all procedures and contracts which contain personal data in cooperation with the Legal Department. The DPC shall prepare an annual activity report, report to the management as necessary and advise necessary measures. The DPC is the initial point of contact for the supervisory authority for all questions relating to the processing of personal data, although all contacts from supervisory authorities must be immediately reported to DEUBLIN Company legal in Waukegan, Illinois.
d.	HR Manager
	Regarding personnel data, the "HR managers" are responsible for compliance with data protection in their offices. They handle personal files and data (any records of the company about employees) strictly confidential. The transmission of personnel data within the DEUBLIN Company group is only permissible in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as the existing works council agreements. The "HR Manager" ensures the signing of the required commitments to data secrecy for new hires.
5.	Data Protection Principles
	Personal data may only be processed if there is a statutory permit list pursuant to Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When DEUBLIN processes personal data, it must be processed only in a manner that is consistent with and reasonably proportionate to the purposes for which it is collected.
a.	Admissibility and Legality of Data Processing
	Personal data may be processed only if: by consent of the data subject for one or more specific purposes, or it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract of which the data subject is a contractor or for the implementation of pre - contractual measures which are carried out at the request of the data subject or the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which DEUBLIN is subject as a company, or the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or any other person, or it is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of DEUBLIN or a third party and does not violate the interests or fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned. The personal data is to be collected from the person concerned, their company, or publically-available materials.
b.	Transparency
	As a company, DEUBLIN is obliged to inform affected persons in a clear, understandable form, in a clear, easy and accessible manner whether and how their personal data is processed. The data subject must ideally be informed prior to the collection of the data and before consent is given, but can also receive notice through information provided on our website in the context of Internet interactions. The person concerned must be informed: Who collects, processes or uses the data. The name and contact details of DEUBLIN as well as the data protection officer must be mentioned, Why the data are collected. The purpose of the collection, processing, use of its data as well as the legal basis for this are to be communicated, When applying the balancing of interests clause, the legitimate interests of DEUBLIN or of the third party must be communicated, Which data is collected and the extent of the personal data processed, Where the data is processed. In the case of data transmission, the data subject shall be informed of further recipients or categories of recipients, for example other DEUBLIN companies, to which the data are transmitted, the purpose of the transmission and, where appropriate, the third country including information about an appropriate level of data protection, How long the personal data is stored (storage time) or how the criteria for the storage period are (to the storage duration / deletion plans), The rights of the data subject, see point 8. Much of the processing of personal data by DEUBLIN will be in connection with the fulfillment of contracts or otherwise within the legitimate interest of DEUBLIN to process information related to orders for its products. When consent is the basis for processing, in principle, a declaration of consent is to be obtained in writing and, if possible, not coupled with general terms and conditions. In exceptional cases, e.g. in case of telephone advice or a customer complaint, the consent may also be given orally. A consent given in this way must be documented. If the data has not been collected by the person concerned, the affected person must be informed within one month after obtaining his personal data. The consent of the person concerned must be given voluntarily without any compulsion, for a specific situation, in knowledge of the facts and unambiguously in the form of a written declaration or other clear action. Consent is not given as voluntary if personal data are used for different processing operations without a separate consent, although this is appropriate in the individual case. A consent shall be invalid if the performance of a contract or the provision of a service is made conditional upon the person concerned consenting to a data processing, even though this is not necessary for the performance of the contract or the service (non-coupling obligation). Thus, the customer's consent to the processing of his personal data in the case of a customer request may not be linked to the fact that his personal data is used for the sending of a newsletter. The person concerned has the right to revoke his consent at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. The data subject is informed of this prior to submitting consent. The revocation of the consent must be documented in writing.
c.	Purpose Limitation and Deletion Obligation
	DEUBLIN Processes Personal Data only in a fair and lawful manner in compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws and contractual obligations with its Customers and Third Parties, and takes steps to ensure the reliability of Personal Data obtained from Third Parties. DEUBLIN takes steps to ensure that its collection and Processing of Personal Data is relevant and not excessive for the specified purpose. Personal data may only be collected for established, unambiguous and legal purposes and may not be further processed in a manner incompatible with these purposes. The data shall be stored in a form which allows the identification of the persons concerned, at most for as long as necessary and to the extent necessary for the purposes for which they are processed. After this purpose, they shall be deleted. The purposes shall be communicated to the data subject prior to data collection. Changes of the purpose are permissible only within strict legal limits. For example, data collected for contractual purposes may not be used for advertising purposes. The person concerned is to be informed about a change of purpose. If Personal Data needs to be used for another purpose or handled in a way that the Data Subject has not had reasonable notice of or consented to, the Data Subject may first need to be informed of, and consent to, the new use, depending on the relevant context and circumstances and in accordance with the requirements of local law.
d.	Data Minimization
	In principle, the less personal data is processed, the better. Personal data should be collected, used and otherwise processed only when necessary for achieving the respective purpose of collection. Therefore, the collection and storage of personal data must be limited to the necessary extent and the data processing systems must be designed accordingly. In input masks, only those fields that are actually required for the purpose being pursued should be mandatory for input. Anonymized or pseudonymized data are preferably to be used as long as the purpose pursued can be achieved in this way without undue additional effort. Personal data which is no longer required for the achievement of a purpose, e.g. the fulfillment of the contract is to be deleted. If the deletion contains a legal retention period, the data may be kept for this purpose, but must be blocked for other purposes. Appropriate deletion, anonymization and archiving concepts must be introduced in the respective DEUBLIN affiliates.
e.	Design of Technical Systems
	IT systems must be designed in such a way as to effectively implement the objectives of this Policy, in particular, it is important to ensure that they only collect as much data as is necessary to fulfill the objective pursued. This is to be ensured, in particular, by means of data-protecting presets. The requirements of data protection must be taken into account when developing, designing and implementing new IT systems and applications.
f.	Correctness and Timeliness
	Personal data are to be stored correct, complete and, where necessary, kept up-to-date. Adequate measures must be taken to ensure that the data is regularly updated in databases, and that non-relevant or obsolete data is deleted.
g.	Confidentiality, Availability and (Data) Integrity
	Confidentiality: Personal data is subject to data secrecy and must be handled confidentially. Any unauthorized processing as well as the use or disclosure for purposes other than the original and approved, especially for private or commercial purposes, is prohibited. Any employee as well as persons with equivalent functions as employees shall be obligated to the data secrecy in writing. The Need-to-know principle shall be applied: Employees may only have access to personal data as far as this is necessary for their respective tasks. This applies irrespective of whether the data processing is done electronically or in paper form. Availability: Personal data is to be protected at all times against unauthorized access, unlawful processing or disclosure, as well as against loss, falsification or destruction. (Data) Integrity: personal data must be processed in such a way that the original entries can be stored unaltered or that changes / updates can be tracked. DEUBLIN shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures (TOMs) in order to achieve these objectives. These TOMs are to be introduced and documented by DEUBLIN on the basis of a risk analysis. The TOMs are to be checked annually and also before the introduction of new applications or IT systems and, if necessary, adapted to the current situation / threat situation.
h.	Accountability
	The management is responsible for compliance with the data protection principles and must be able to verify their compliance. In addition, the management has to verify the implementation of the necessary prerequisites for complying with data protection regulations in account reports.
6. a.	Handling of Certain Groups of Personal Data Data Processing for the Employment Relationship and Employment Data
	In the recruitment process or in employment relationship, personal data may only be processed if necessary for the initiation, basis, execution and termination of the employment relationship. After rejection, the data of the applicant must be deleted, taking into account legal compliance requirements, unless the applicant has agreed to a further storage for a subsequent selection process in writing. Personal data may only be used for the purpose of detecting criminal offenses in the case of a justified suspicion, that is, if actual evidence (to be documented) give rise to the suspicion that the person concerned has committed a criminal offense in the employment relationship and does not prejudge the legitimate interest of the person concerned. In the case of this type of data use, the persons concerned must be informed about this after the completion of the measures, of the fact that the collected data are to be handed over to the investigating authorities in a logged form.
b.	Customers, Prospective Customers, Business Partners
	Personal data from customers, business partners or interested parties may only be processed for initiating, justifying, conducting or terminating a contract or legal transaction as well as for customer support. Corresponding restrictions imposed by the interested party or business partners must be observed as well as the obligation to delete the data after the end of the business relationship. There are separate legal requirements for customer loyalty or advertising measures. The processing of personal data for advertising purposes is permitted provided that this is compatible with the original purpose of the data collection. If data is collected exclusively for advertising purposes, the person concerned may disclose their data voluntary. The person concerned is to be informed about the voluntary nature and the use of his data for advertising purposes, a consent of the person concerned is to be obtained. If the advertisement is to be made electronically (e.g. in the case of advertising newsletters), an explicit, verifiable consent of the person concerned is required. In the case of electronic consent, the so-called "double opt-in procedure" must always be applied. All advertising mails must be accompanied by a note that the person concerned can refuse to obtain advertising mail in future at any time. If the advertising approach is made by telephone, an explicit consent of the person concerned is also required. A presumed consent is required in the case of telephone advertising addressed to traders or legal persons. This is the case if the sending of the advertising is objectively in the interests of the person concerned and so far he has not given or rejected explicit consent. The caller’s phone number must always be visible to the person concerned. Advertising by means of letters or advertising mails (handouts, brochures, etc.) is, in principle, possible provided that the person concerned has not expressed any contrary will.
c.	User Data on the Internet and Social Media
	Should personal data be processed on corporate websites or in apps, the affected persons are to be informed of this in privacy statements and, if necessary, by cookie notes. These are to be integrated in such a way that they are easily recognizable, directly accessible and constantly available to those concerned. If usage profiles are generated to evaluate the user behavior of websites and apps (tracking), affected persons must be informed of this in the data protection notes. Furthermore, an order processing agreement must be concluded with the provider of the tracking solution, as long as it works with any reference to persons. If the tracking is carried out under a pseudonym, the person concerned is to be offered a possibility of objecting in the data protection instructions. If access to personal data is permitted in the case of websites or apps in a domain that is subject to registration, the authentication of the data subjects shall be designed in such a way as to ensure appropriate protection for the respective access. It is always necessary to apply a double-opt-in method. The processing or combination of personal data from social media platforms and existing customer data always requires the consent of the user. For example, if a user is a fan of a Facebook business page, the user does not automatically have permission to use his or her data for advertising or data collation.
7.	Transfer of Personal Data to Third Parties
	The transmission of personal data is subject to special risks. A distinction must be made between a data transfer to third parties and the transfer of data within the scope of order processing.
a.	*Order Processing within the DEUBLIN* Group**
	In the case of order processing, the conclusion of a written data protection agreement with both external contractors as well as between companies within the DEUBLIN group is compulsory. As part of the selection process, the project owner has to make sure of contractor’s compliance with the contractual obligations before commissioning and to document this accordingly. In particular, it must be considered that the Contractor is able to ensure the required level of data protection. Compliance with the data security requirements can be demonstrated by a contractor in particular by providing a suitable certification, e.g. by ISO27001 test certificates, audit reports by competent supervisory authorities, etc. Depending on the risk of data processing, the controls must be repeated regularly during the contract period, audit results must be documented in writing. DEUBLIN has established procedures to allow for the transfer of Personal Data in compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws within the DEUBLIN group through execution of standard contractual clauses that ensure appropriate protections of covered Personal Data.
b.	*Transfer of Personal Data Outside of the DEUBLIN* Group**
	Any transfer of data to recipients within or outside the DEUBLIN group needs a legal basis; either a law or a contract must permit data transmission or the consent of the data subject must be available. Before DEUBLIN transfers Personal Data to a Third Party, DEUBLIN must ensure sufficient security measures and protections are in place and must do so only in compliance with any applicable contractual restrictions. A data transfer or data exchange, including the processing of personal data of customers and employees, may be carried out for internal administrative purposes within the DEUBLIN group, provided that the legitimate interests of the data subject are not infringed. The transfer of employment data is subject to special examination, the necessity in regard to the employment relationship must be proofed. The recipient of the data must be contractually obliged to use it only for the purposes specified. When transferring data to a recipient outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, it must be ensured that an equivalent level of data protection recognized by the EU is ensured. (SCC, Privacy Shield, BCRs). DEUBLIN’s DPC must be consulted and approve the following new types of data transfers if they are outside of already established operations: The transfer of Personal Data to a location outside the EEA that is materially different from previously approved data transfers in so far as they involve different types of Personal Data, new parties, or new countries. Such Personal Data may be transferred to a Third Party only in the following circumstances: Where the Third Party has implemented procedures that comply with Data Protection Laws; Where the Third Party is located within the United States or another country that Data Protection Laws deem to have adequate privacy laws (such as Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faeroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay); or Where the Third Party has entered into a written contract with DEUBLIN under which the Third Party is required to provide at least the same level of privacy and data protection afforded by Data Protection Laws and this Policy.
8.	Rights of the Data Subject
	Any data subject may exercise the following rights against DEUBLIN. Any assertion of rights by data subjects must be forwarded immediately to the DPC. The DPC will process the request with the responsible department and meet specific deadlines and requirements. The exercise of their rights must not lead to any disadvantages for the data subjects. DEUBLIN should design its systems to allow the exercise of such data protection rights with reasonable speed and cost in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws. As required by Data Protection Laws, DEUBLIN will permit Data Subjects to request the correction of any incorrect or misleading Personal Data about them and will make reasonable efforts to correct or destroy, as appropriate, Personal Data that is inaccurate, misleading, or outdated, or which DEUBLIN is not permitted to store.
a.	Right of Access
	The person concerned may at any time request from DEUBLIN, if and which personal data concerning him for which purposes is processed and/or transferred. In particular, he has in particular a right of information about: The processing purposes, The categories of personal data, The recipients or categories of recipients to which his / her personal data has been disclosed, The planned duration for which the personal data is stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration, The existence of a right to rectify or delete the personal data concerning him or to restrict the processing or a right of objection to such processing, The existence of an infringement right with the competent supervisory authority, If the personal data is not collected by the data subject, all available information on the origin of the data The appropriate guarantees under Article 46 of the GDPR when personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization. If the information is not available online, the first copy must be free of charge. As far as the inquiry of the person concerned is done electronically, the information is provided by a read-only PDF file. The information is always sent to the (electronic) address, that has been stored at DEUBLIN. The granting of information is excluded or may be restricted if these rights and freedoms of other persons, in particular business secrets or intellectual property rights, would be affected. In case of doubt as to the identity of the applicant concerned, DEUBLIN must request additional information. If these are not sufficient, a statement can be refused with justification, until the necessary proof has been given. If, in accordance with the respective labor law, extended access rights are provided in employment documents (for example personnel records), these remain unaffected.
b.	Right to Copy and Data Portability
	A person concerned may request a copy of the relevant personal data which he has provided to DEUBLIN. This presupposes that the processing was carried out by means of automated procedures and on the basis of the consent of the data subject or the execution of a contract. The copy must be made available in a structured, standard and machine-readable form or, if required, to be transmitted to third parties, if this is technically feasible. A copy must be made available to the person concerned free of charge. The rights and freedom of other persons shall not be affected by this right. In the case of justified doubts about the identity of the person asking, additional information must be requested.
