Privacy Policy

We appreciate your interest in our company. Data Protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB. Use of the iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if an individual wishes to use certain services offered by our company through our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will always obtain consent of the affected person.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or phone number of an affected person, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB. With this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process.

As the entity responsible for data processing, iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for the personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can inherently have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

3. Cookies

Die websites of iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier assigned to the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to identify the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the user’s individual browser from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific browser can therefore be recognized and identified via its unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. AS mentioned above, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our site. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not need to enter login credentials each time they 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 store. The online store remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the appropriate settings in their internet browser and thereby permanently object to the use 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 iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes, iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    Furthermore, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by iNUX Meyer & Partner mbB for scientific or historical research purposes for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 paragraph 1 of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

The data subject is furthermore free to exercise their right to object, in connection with the use of information society services and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

    h) Automated individual decision-making including profiling

    Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has 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 them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

    i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

    Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact a member of the controller’s staff at any time.

    8. Legal basis for processing

    Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company in 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 a party, such as processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products and services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order to protect the vital interest of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In this case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Ultimately, processing activities could be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned groups, where the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that the internet, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interest. Such processing operations are particularly permitted to us because they are specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest may be assumed where the data subject is a costumer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

    9. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or by a third party

    Is the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and stakeholders.

    10. Duration for which the personal data is stored

    The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the applicable statutory retention periods. Once the relevant period has expired, the data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment of initiation of a contract.

    11. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

    We inform you that the provision of personal data ma be requires by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may arise from contractual obligations (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which will subsequently need to be processed by us. For example, a data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the required personal data may result in the contract not being concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. That employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, whether it is necessary for concluding a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide data, and what the consequences would be if the data is not provided.

    12. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

    As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

    This privacy policy was generated using the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which serves as the external data protection officer in Erlangen, in cooperation with attorney Christian Solmecke, a specialist in IT and data protection law.
