We are solely responsible for data processing via contact forms and means of communication. More information on data protection can be found in this section, starting with point 2.
This does not apply if, for example, you have informed us by your recipient selection in the contact form or by e-mail that we should forward your message directly to one of our partners. In this case, we only collect and process your IP address and log files (metadata) about your request. The message content is then forwarded to the respective partner, who is then exclusively responsible for processing your data. You can find more information about data protection at the respective partners here: https://www.powerforall-alliance.com/de/#partner.

2. Scope of processing

We can be reached by mail, e-mail, contact form and telephone for your inquiries. Simple requests that do not require your identification can be made anonymously. As far as your identification should be necessary, e.g. to answer you or to call you back, we collect your contact data.

If you write us a message via our contact form, we collect the personal data you enter (first name, last name, e-mail address, message content). In addition, we collect your IP address and log files about the date and time of sending the message.

3. Purpose of processing

Your personal data is processed in order to identify you, to assign your message to an existing contract, a job advertisement, a job application process or any other business relationship, if applicable, to store it, to answer it or to forward it, if applicable.

4. Legal basis of processing

If you have given us consent on the occasion of correspondence with you, e.g. within the framework of the contact form, we may process your data within the framework of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit a GDPR.

We will forward your message and personal data to one of our partners if you wish. To do this, please select in the contact form that the message should be forwarded to a partner to be specified by you by selection menu. By making this selection, you give us your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a GDPR that we transmit your personal data mentioned in item 2 and the message content to the respective partner so that the partner collects your data and processes it for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. The respective partner is solely responsible for the further processing of your personal data.

In individual cases, the processing of your data may be necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are carried out at your request, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The processing of personal data may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

5. Legitimate interests

We have a legitimate economic interest in being accessible via our contact forms and (electronic) means of communication for processing and responding to inquiries with interest in our products and to respond to your inquiries.

If you have informed us that you want us to forward your message directly to one of our partners, they will receive your personal data with your message and process it in accordance with their privacy policy.

III. Data processing on the website

1. Log files

1.1 Scope of the processing

Whenever you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system with which you as the person concerned access our website. These data are stored and processed on our server in a log file. The following personal data is collected:

Among other things, log files store the IP address, the browser used, the time and date and the system used by a visitor to the site. We only store anonymized IP addresses of visitors to the website. At web server level, this is done by storing an IP address 123.123.123.XXX in the log file instead of the actual IP address of the visitor, e.g. 123.123.123.123, where XXX is a random value between 1 and 254. It is no longer possible to establish a personal reference.

1.2 Purpose of the processing

The IP address is a string of numbers that uniquely identifies your computer system at the time you access our website. The IP address is used to receive and send data packets and enables a user to access a website. The temporary storage of the IP address on our server is necessary to transmit the page contents to the user’s computer system after calling up our website, so that the user can perceive the contents.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website and to be able to detect possible transmission errors. In addition, this data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

1.3 Legal basis of the processing

The processing is based on our legitimate interests according to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

1.4 Legitimate interests

We have a legitimate interest in processing the above-mentioned personal data for the above-mentioned purposes in order to ensure that our product and service information is available online.

1.5 Recipients or categories of recipients

Your personal information will be shared with our IT department and with our contractors contracted to host and provide the IT resources to operate the website.

1.6 Transfer to third countries

We do not intend to transfer your personal data abroad.

1.7 Duration of storage

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended. The user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session to enable the use of the website.

In the event that your data is stored in the log file, the data collected therein will be stored indefinitely.

1.8 Right to object and erasure

As a data subject, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out pursuant to Article 6 (1) (e), (f) GDPR (Article 21 (1) GDPR). In this case, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing that are worthy of protection, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms as a data subject, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend and defend against legal claims.
The processing of personal data for the provision of the website and for the creation of the log file is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. The user can therefore not object to this type of processing.

1.9 Obligation to provide the data (Article 13 (2) (e) GDPR)

If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that not all functions of the website, e.g. the shopping cart of the store, can be used to their full extent. The processing of personal data for the provision of the website by technically required cookies is mandatory for the operation of the website. The user can therefore not object to this type of processing.

2.9 Obligation to provide the data (Article 13 (2) (e) GDPR)
