Privacy policy
parken53.de, based at Kiesheckerweg 116, 40468 Düsseldorf, takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and strictly complies with the rules of German data protection law. Personal data is never sold or passed on to third parties for any other reasons and is collected only to the extent technically necessary, not to the extent technically possible. With this policy, we would like to give you an overview of which data is collected for which purpose and how we ensure the protection of this data.
We appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of parken53.de. Use of the parken53.de website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the data subject’s consent.
The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to parken53.de. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller responsible for processing, parken53.de has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of parken53.de is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the GDPR. Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we explain the terms used in advance.
We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller
Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. Public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.
2. Name and address of the controller
Controller within the meaning of the GDPR and other applicable data protection laws is:
parken53.de
Kiesheckerweg 116
40468 Düsseldorf
Phone: not yet known
Email: info@parken53.de
Web: www.parken53.de
VAT ID no.:
Managing Director: Marion Okutan
3. SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser. If SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
5. Booking form
If you make a booking via our booking form, the information you enter in the form, including the personal data you provide there, is stored in the database for the purpose of processing the request, encrypted with a key known only to us. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the booking form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you entered in the booking form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies.
6. Cookies
The parken53.de website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie is stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other browsers containing other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, parken53.de can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.
Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the user’s interest. Cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter access data on each visit because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is a shopping cart cookie in an online shop: the online shop remembers the items a customer placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and can thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject disables cookies in the browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
7. Collection of general data and information
The parken53.de website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded: (1) browser types and versions, (2) operating system used, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrer), (4) subpages accessed, (5) date and time of access, (6) IP address, (7) Internet service provider, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, parken53.de does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data is therefore analyzed statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous server log data is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
8. Subscription to our newsletter
On the parken53.de website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter results from the input form used for this purpose.
parken53.de informs customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter can generally only be received if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for newsletter shipping. A confirmation email is sent to the email address entered for the first time via the double opt-in procedure for legal reasons. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address has authorized receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration and the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace possible misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, such as in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes in technical conditions. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is passed on to third parties. The newsletter subscription can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to store personal data given for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for revocation. In addition, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller in another way.
9. Newsletter tracking
The newsletters of parken53.de contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, parken53.de can see if and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the email were accessed.
Such personal data collected via tracking pixels in newsletters is stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize newsletter distribution and better adapt future newsletter content to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate consent declaration issued via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data is deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by parken53.de as revocation.
10. Contact option via the website
The parken53.de website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general email address. If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
11. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose no longer applies or a legally required retention period expires, personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.
12. Rights of the data subject
a) Right to confirmation
Each data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right of access
Each data subject has the right to obtain free information about their stored personal data and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to information about: the purposes of processing; the categories of personal data processed; the recipients or categories of recipients; the envisaged period for storage (where possible); the existence of the rights to rectification, erasure, restriction, objection; the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; where data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to its source; and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences. In addition, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization and, if so, of the appropriate safeguards.
c) Right to rectification
Each data subject has the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of a supplementary statement.
d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided that one of the reasons applies and processing is not necessary. Reasons include: data no longer necessary; withdrawal of consent without other legal basis; objection under Art. 21 GDPR without overriding legitimate grounds; unlawful processing; legal obligation to erase; data collected in relation to information society services under Art. 8(1) GDPR. If the data was made public, the controller takes reasonable measures to inform other controllers about the erasure request, taking into account available technology and implementation costs.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Each data subject has the right to obtain restriction of processing where one of the following applies: accuracy is contested; processing is unlawful and erasure is opposed; the controller no longer needs the data but the data subject requires it for legal claims; the data subject has objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR and verification is pending as to whether legitimate grounds override.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject has the right to receive personal data provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller, where processing is based on consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and is carried out by automated means, and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. The data subject also has the right to have the data transmitted directly between controllers where technically feasible.
g) Right to object
Each data subject has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to processing based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling. In case of objection, parken53.de will no longer process the personal data unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds overriding the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for legal claims.
Where parken53.de processes personal data for direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing for such marketing, including profiling related to direct marketing. If the data subject objects, parken53.de will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to processing for scientific/historical research or statistical purposes under Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless processing is necessary for a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law with safeguards, or (3) is based on explicit consent. In such cases, parken53.de implements suitable measures, including the right to obtain human intervention, express a point of view and contest the decision.
i) Right to withdraw consent
Each data subject has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
10. Data protection for applications and in the application procedure
The controller collects and processes applicants’ personal data for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also take place electronically, in particular if an applicant submits application documents electronically, e.g. by email or via a web form. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose deletion (e.g. obligation to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)).
13. Data protection provisions on the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization)
The controller has integrated Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of website visitors. A web analytics service collects data about which website a data subject came from (referrer), which subpages were accessed, how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and to analyze cost-benefit of Internet advertising.
The operating company of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the add-on “_gat._anonymizeIp”. With this add-on, the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our website is from an EU Member State or another EEA contracting state.
The purpose of Google Analytics is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, compile online reports for us showing activities on our website, and provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Cookies have been explained above. Setting the cookie enables Google to analyze the use of our website. With each call to one of the individual pages on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, the Internet browser automatically transmits data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Through this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address, which Google may use to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits, is stored. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used, is transferred to Google in the United States and stored there. Google may pass this personal data collected via the technical procedure on to third parties.
The data subject may prevent cookies as described above. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and to prevent the processing of this data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers installation of the add-on an objection. If the data subject’s IT system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the add-on must be reinstalled to deactivate Google Analytics. If the add-on is uninstalled or disabled, it can be reinstalled or reactivated.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
14. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If 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, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of services, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring processing of personal data, e.g. to fulfill tax obligations, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing may be necessary to protect vital interests (Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR). Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party, provided the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override. The European legislator particularly mentioned that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
15. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party
Where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
16. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for contract performance or initiation.
17. Legal/contractual requirement to provide personal data; necessity for contract conclusion; obligation; consequences of non-provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (e.g. information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides personal data which must then be processed by us. The data subject is obliged to provide personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean the contract could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject may contact one of our employees, who will clarify whether the provision is legally or contractually required, necessary for the contract, whether there is an obligation, and what consequences non-provision would have.
18. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
This privacy policy was created using the privacy policy generator of the Nürnberg external data protection officer in cooperation with RC GmbH, which reuses used notebooks, and the file sharing lawyers of WBS-LAW.
19. Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps to display interactive maps and to create directions. Google Maps is a map service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (starting) address entered as part of the route planning function, may be transmitted to Google in the USA.
When you access a page of our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. The map content is transmitted by Google directly to your browser and integrated into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of data collected by Google in this way. To the best of our knowledge, this includes at least the following data:
Date and time of the visit to the relevant website,
Internet address or URL of the website accessed,
IP address, (starting) address entered as part of route planning.
We have no influence on the further processing and use of data by Google and therefore cannot assume responsibility. If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about you via our website, you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you will not be able to use the map display.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Google, as well as your rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
By using our website, you consent to the processing of the data collected about you by the Google Maps route planner in the manner described above and for the purpose stated above.
