We collect and process personal data provided by you when placing an order, opening a customer account, or for any other purpose (e.g., name, address, email address, telephone number, payment data) only if and to the extent you have consented to their processing or if another legal basis under Art. 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies.
Furthermore, for technical reasons, the user's IP address is recorded on our websites.
The personal data we collect is processed and used to provide the services you request (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), to process your inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), based on your explicit consent to check your creditworthiness if you wish us to provide services in advance, such as ordering on account (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), for invoicing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, particularly the retention obligation under § 257 HGB (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR), and to assert (legal) claims (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Subject to your separate consent, we will also use the personal data stored with us to inform you about our products and other services in our newsletter. We will only send you our newsletter by email if you have expressly consented to this in the double opt-in procedure. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the link at the end of our newsletter.
For the purposes mentioned under item 1, we reserve the right to pass on your personal data to service providers commissioned by us within the European Union and other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. These are obliged to treat your personal data confidentially and to use it only in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations for the provision of the requested services.
We work with service providers in the following categories:
If you are not the recipient of the services, you are obliged to obtain the consent of the recipient for the processing of his personal data before forwarding it to us.
Apart from this, we will only disclose the personal data stored with us to third parties if we have been expressly authorized to do so by you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if we are legally obliged to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if such disclosure is necessary to assert or protect our rights (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
The duration of storage of the collected personal data depends on the purpose for which we process the data. In principle, storage takes place as long as it is necessary to achieve the purpose of processing or as long as we are obliged to store the data due to legal requirements.
To fulfill our retention obligations according to § 257 HGB, we store your personal data collected as part of an order for a period of ten years. After this period, your data will be deleted, unless there is a legal obligation for further storage or we need the data for the assertion or defense of legal claims.
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (e.g., to send our newsletter), we will store your data until you revoke your consent. After your revocation, your data will be deleted, unless there is a legal obligation for further storage or we need the data for the assertion or defense of legal claims.
You can inquire at any time by email at webmaster@speam.de about the personal data stored about you, request the addition of your personal data, and the correction of incorrect personal data. We will process your requests promptly.
Of course, you can also request the deletion of your personal data stored with us according to Art. 17 GDPR or the restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR by email at webmaster@speam.de. We will then immediately delete or restrict the processing of the personal data stored about you. However, deletion or restriction of processing will only take place after all existing contracts and other legal relationships with you have been fully processed. Deletion can only take place when we are no longer legally required to store the data. Please note that after deletion or restriction of processing, we will no longer be able to access the data you previously provided and may not be able to process pending inquiries. As far as we are legally obliged to store personal data, we will mark this data with a blocking note and will no longer use it for communication.
As far as we process personal data from you, you are entitled to request a copy of this data in writing or electronically. We will send you the first copy of your personal data free of charge or forward it to a third party named by you.
As far as you have consented to the processing of your personal data and we still have them stored, we will make them available to you or a third party named by you upon your request.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you also have the right to file a complaint with any supervisory authority according to Art. 77 GDPR. The supervisory authority responsible for our location is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg, currently Dr. Stefan Brink, Königstraße 10a, 70173 Stuttgart, Tel.: 0711/615541-0, Fax: 0711/615541-15, Email: poststelle@lfdi.bwl.de
As far as data processing is based on your consent (especially for checking your creditworthiness and possibly for sending our newsletter), you can revoke your consent at any time.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the protection of legitimate interests of us or a third party according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR according to Art. 21 GDPR. In response to your objection, we will stop the data processing based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, especially if you have not yet settled all our open payment claims, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If you have questions about data protection, you can send us an email at webmaster@speam.de. We will be happy to answer your questions free of charge. Instead of by email, you can of course also contact the responsible office according to No. 11 by mail or fax.
On various pages, we use cookies to make the visit to our website attractive, to personalize advertising, and to enable the use of certain functions, provided you have given your consent or there is otherwise permission. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are deleted from your hard drive after the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your computer and allow us to recognize your computer on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). These cookies are used to greet you with your username and save you from having to re-enter your password or fill out forms with your data on subsequent orders. Our partner companies are not allowed - subject to other agreements with you and deviating information in this privacy policy - to collect, process or use personal data via our website using cookies. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited. Each browser differs in the way it manages the cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings.
When visiting our website, you have the option to decide for the consent to the use of all cookies provided by us or to select in the cookie settings which cookies you want to allow. You can adjust these settings at any time.
Our offer uses functions of social networks ("Plugins"): Plugins with a white "f" on a blue tile or "thumbs up" or "Like", operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook").
When you visit a page of our offer that uses such plugins, your browser connects to the servers of the plugin providers, possibly in the USA. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the providers of the plugins to your browser and integrated into the page. We have no influence on the extent of the data that the providers collect via the plugins. According to the representations of the platforms, personal data is collected, processed, and transmitted for both non-members, logged-in, and non-logged-in members, including your IP address, among other things, on servers in the USA.
The European Court of Justice has determined that the USA is a country with an insufficient level of data protection. In this context, there is a particular risk that your data will be processed by American institutions/authorities for control and surveillance purposes, without sufficient legal protection against this.
If you are logged in to the respective social network, it can assign the visit to our website directly to your profile. If you interact with the plugins (e.g., click the "Like" button or leave a comment), this information (including your IP address) will also be transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the plugin providers, possibly in the USA, and stored there.
Please refer to the respective data protection notices for the purpose and scope of data collection, processing, and use by the providers, as well as your rights and settings options for your protection: http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
Facebook users should also note that the communication tool "Website Custom Audiences ("WCA")" from Facebook is used on our website. To this end, so-called Facebook pixels are integrated on our website, which mark you as a visitor to our website in anonymized form, i.e., without identifying you as a person. If you are later logged in to Facebook, a non-reversible and thus non-personal checksum (profile) of your usage data is transmitted to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your settings options to protect your privacy, can be found in the Facebook privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/ and https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation. If you want to object to the use of Facebook Website Custom Audiences, you can do so at: https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/
If you are a member of the respective network but do not want the provider to link the data collected via our web presence with your profile, you can take the following measures: Always completely log out of the respective network before visiting other websites and delete any corresponding cookies; Hide the plugins via your ad blocker. Information on this can be found here: http://www.antispam-ev.de/wiki/Werbeblocker_für_Browser
Our presence on social networks and platforms serves the purpose of better, active communication with our customers and prospects. We provide information there about our products and current promotions.
During your visit to our online presences in social media, your data can be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes. From these data, usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. These can be used to, for example, display advertising inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interests. For this purpose, cookies are usually used on your end device. These cookies store visitor behavior and users' interests. This serves, according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, the protection of our overriding legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer and effective communication with customers and prospects. If you are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent (agreement) to data processing, e.g., with a checkbox, the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.
Detailed information on the processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages, as well as a contact option and your related rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy, especially opt-out options, can be found in the privacy notices linked below by the providers.
