Hosting services by a third-party provider
As part of processing on our behalf, the company hotbytes GmbH & Co. KG, Wannenäckerstraße 53, 74078 Heilbronn, Germany (info@hotbytes.de) provides the services for hosting and displaying the website for us as a processor. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our website. All data collected when using this website or via the forms provided for this purpose in the online store are processed on the servers of this processor.
Cookies and server log files
The websites of Carl Bechem GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are filed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Through the use of cookies, it is possible for the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual’s browser from other Internet browsers.
By using cookies, Carl Bechem GmbH can increase the user-friendliness of this website and provide services that would not be possible without cookies. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system remembers the information.
The setting of cookies for all websites can be prevented by changing the settings of the respective Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This is possible in all common Internet browsers, but in some cases the website’s functions will then be restricted.
For technical reasons, so-called server log files are also created. In these files, the hosting provider stores technical data (e.g. browser type and browser version, operating system used, time of request, IP address, etc.) that the browser automatically transmits to the hosting provider. This data is not merged with other data, so that a personal reference is not possible.
Borlabs Cookie We use the consent management service Borlabs Cookie, Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11 22083 Hamburg, Germany. This enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing. The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR) to which we are subject (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR). Borlabs Cookie is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. The Borlabs Cookie Consent Management Platform collects device information, browser information, opt-in and opt-out data, date and time of visit, request URLs and website page path and cookie preferences. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for logging purposes and there are no legal obligations to retain it. The consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. Processing takes place in the European Union. Further information on objection and removal options vis-à-vis Borlabs Cookie can be found at: https://de.borlabs.io/datenschutz/
Purpose of the data collection and, if applicable, data transmission
We only collect personal data if you provide it to us voluntarily, for example in connection with an enquiry. Data is entered in the areas described below:
Contact form
The contact form enables interested parties to send enquiries directly to Carl BECHEM GmbH. Due to statutory regulations, the website also contains information (e.g. in the imprint) that enables rapid electronic contact with our company (e.g. via the e-mail address). If a person contacts us via e-mail or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by that person will be stored automatically. Data transmitted in this way will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the person concerned. In most cases, the e-mails sent are delivered to the general mailboxes of the departments. Unless required for the purpose of processing, this personal data is not passed on to third parties outside the group of companies.
If you contact our trading partners via your own e-mail service, they will process your data (depending on their location also in countries outside the EU). Carl Bechem GmbH is no longer responsible for this processing.
YouTube
On our website we use components (videos) from YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Here we use the “privacy enhanced mode” option provided by YouTube.
When you access a page that has an embedded video, it connects to the YouTube servers and displays the content on the website by notifying your browser.
According to YouTube, in “advanced privacy mode” only data is transmitted to the YouTube server when you watch the video. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, this information will be associated with your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.
For more information about YouTube’s data protection, visit the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-us
Social Plugins
Social plugins are used on our websites. You can recognize the plugins of the respective providers by their logo. If you visit a page with such a plugin, the operator of the service will be informed which pages you visit. Pseudonymous usage profiles of users may be created from the processed data in this respect. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data collected by an activated plugin and how it is used by the provider. It is also possible for service providers to attempt to store cookies on the computer used.
If you are logged in with your respective account, the provider can assign your surfing behavior to your personal profile if necessary. You can prevent this by logging out of your account beforehand and, if necessary, deleting cookies that have been set.
We use a 2-click solution to prevent the unintentional and unwanted collection and transmission of your data to these service providers. To activate a social plugin, users must first click on the corresponding button. Only this activation of the plugin will trigger the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider. We do not collect any personal data ourselves using the social plugins or about how they are used.
Please refer to the data protection declaration of the respective provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used.
We operate the following presences and use the following plugins on our website:

Legal basis of the processing
If we obtain consent for certain processing operations, these are based on Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, e.g. for the delivery of goods or for pre-contractual measures, e.g. in response to enquiries, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. If the processing of personal data is not based on any of the aforementioned legal bases, we process data to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company (the improvement of the performance of our business activities or the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website). We always ensure that no interest of the data subject worthy of protection which outweighs our legitimate interest conflicts with this.
Period of time for which the personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer necessary for contract fulfilment or initiation.
If you send us an e-mail using the contact form, your e-mails are received in the respective mailboxes and archived there for an unlimited period.
Your data that is stored in the course of the use of our Facebook page is deleted – as far as it is possible for us – when the Facebook page operation is stopped.
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies.
Right of information and right of revocation, right of complaint and right to data transfer, limitation of processing, correction and deletion
You have the right to receive information about your data stored by us and the purpose of the storage at any time (Art. 15 GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage or use of your personal data at any time in writing. You may also object to a particular processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). In addition to revocation, you have the right to demand rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), blocking or erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR) and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
Under Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority (for NRW: the North Rhine-Westphalia State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information in Düsseldorf). In addition, you have the right to receive the data transmitted by you in a machine-readable format for transmission.
If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you can also contact us directly (responsible body: see imprint). If you have any questions, requests for information, proposals or complaints, you can also contact our external data protection officer directly.
