Data protection

1. Introduction

In the following, we provide information about the collection of personal data when using
‍

• our website https://planbnetzero.com
• our profiles in social media.

‍

Personal data is any data that can be related to a specific natural person, such as

their name or IP address.

‍

1.1 Contact details

‍

The controller within the meaning of Art. 4 para. 7 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is PLAN-B NET ZERO ENERGY, Dieselstraße 2, Mühlheim am Main, Deutschland, email: info@planbnetzero-energy.com. We are legally represented by Markus Schunk.

‍

Our data protection officer can be reached via heyData GmbH, Schützenstraße 5,

10117 Berlin, www.heydata.eu, E-Mail: datenschutz@heydata.eu.

‍

1.2 Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

‍

We detail the scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

below. In principle, the following come into consideration as the legal basis for

data processing:

‍

• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as our legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.

‍

• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for him. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services.

‍

• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case, for example, in tax law.

‍

• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis when we can rely on legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

‍

1.3 Data processing outside the EEA

‍

Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the

EEA, the security of the data during the transfer is guaranteed by adequacy

decisions of the EU Commission, insofar as they exist (e.g. for Great Britain, Canada

and Israel) (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR). In the case of data transfer to service providers in the USA, the legal basis for the data transfer is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission if the service provider has also certified itself under the EU US Data Privacy Framework. In other cases (e.g. if no adequacy decision exists), the legal basis for the data transfer are usually, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise, standard contractual clauses. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and are part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they ensure the security of the data transfer. Many of the providers have given contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses to protect the data. These include, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of data or regarding an obligation on the part of the third party to notify data subjects if law enforcement agencies wish to access the respective data.

‍

1.4 Storage duration

‍

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted

as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and no legal

obligations to retain data conflict with the deletion. If the data are not deleted

because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their

processing is restricted, i.e. the data are blocked and not processed for other

purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial

or tax law reasons.

‍

1.5 Rights of data subjects

‍

Data subjects have the following rights against us with regard to their personal

data:

‍

• Right of access,
• Right to correction or deletion,
• Right to limit processing,
• Right to object to the processing,
• Right to data transferability,
• Right to revoke a given consent at any time.

‍

Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory

authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data

protection supervisory authorities are available at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

‍

1.6 Obligation to provide data

‍

Within the scope of the business or other relationship, customers, prospective

customers or third parties need to provide us with personal data that is necessary

for the establishment, execution and termination of a business or other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or to provide a service or will no

longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.

‍

Mandatory data are marked as such.

‍

1.7 No automatic decision making in individual cases

‍

As a matter of principle, we do not use a fully automated decision-making process

in accordance with article 22 GDPR to establish and implement the business or

other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform of this separately if this is required by law.

‍

1.8 Making contact

‍

When contacting us, e.g. by e-mail or telephone, the data provided to us (e.g. names and e-mail addresses) will be stored by us in order to answer questions. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR) to answer inquiries directed to us. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.

‍

1.9 Competitions

‍

Occasionally, we offer competitions via our website or in other ways. We process

the data requested in these competitions in order to determine and notify the

winners. Afterwards, we delete the data. It may also be that we only offer competitions for existing customers. In this case, we only process the name to determine the winners and the contact data to notify the winners. It is our legitimate interest to offer competitions to attract customers or to interact with our existing customers. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

‍

1.10 Customer surveys

‍

From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers

and their wishes better. In doing so, we collect the data requested in each case. It

is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so

that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit f GDPR. We delete the data when the results of the surveys have been evaluated.

‍

2. Newsletter

‍

We reserve the right to inform customers who have already used services from us

or purchased goods from time to time by e-mail or other means about our offers, if

they have not objected to this. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para.

1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to conduct direct advertising (recital 47

GDPR). Customers can object to the use of their e-mail address for advertising

purposes at any time without incurring additional costs, for example via the link at

the end of each e-mail or by sending an e-mail to our above-mentioned e-mail

address. Interested parties have the option to subscribe to a free newsletter. We process the data provided during registration exclusively for sending the newsletter. Subscription takes place by selecting the corresponding field on our website, by ticking the corresponding field in a paper document or by another clear action, whereby interested parties declare their consent to the processing of their data, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. p. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time, e.g. by clicking the corresponding link in the newsletter or notifying our e-mail address given above. The processing of the data until revocation remains

lawful even in the event of revocation. Based on the consent of the recipients (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR), we also measure the opening and click-through rate of our newsletters to understand what is relevant for our audience.

4. Data processing on social media

platforms

‍

We are represented in social media networks in order to present our organization

and our services there. The operators of these networks regularly process their users' data for advertising purposes. Among other things, they create user profiles

from their online behavior, which are used, for example, to show advertising on the

pages of the networks and elsewhere on the Internet that corresponds to the

interests of the users. To this end, the operators of the networks store information

on user behavior in cookies on the users' computers. Furthermore, it cannot be

ruled out that the operators merge this information with other data. Users can

obtain further information and instructions on how to object to processing by the

site operators in the data protection declarations of the respective operators listed

below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU

countries, so that they process data there. This may result in risks for users, e.g.

because it is more difficult to enforce their rights or because government agencies

access the data.

‍

If users of the networks contact us via our profiles, we process the data provided to

us in order to respond to the inquiries. This is our legitimate interest, so that the

legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.
