Data Protection Information

The protection of your personal data and of your private sphere is very important to us. This is why it goes without saying for us to adhere to the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).The purpose of this Act is to protect individuals from being affected in their personal rights by the treatment of their personal data. As you have a right to information, we herewith inform you on our data treatment methods pursuant to article 4 et seqq. of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

Of course you can at any time object to your data being used for any purpose unless these data are required for the execution of a contractual relationship. Usually, however, they are not required as pursuant to the legal provisions we will automatically delete your personal data as soon as they are not required any longer for the contractual relationship. If you still want to take measures, it is sufficient to send an e-mail to dataprotection@bartec.de. You will receive a confirmation via the same communication channel as soon as it is integrated into the system. If you have any further questions, please contact our data protection officer (for contact data, see item 2).

For reasons of legibility, we will not differ between male and female forms of address. It goes without saying that both our female and our male users are addressed.

8. Standard periods for the deletion of data

At present, the periods for the obligation of data retention and for the deletion of personal data are not clearly specified by law for all areas as in many areas the jurisdiction requires an adjustment of these periods. In any and all areas where regulations exist, we already routinely fulfil the obligation to delete your data: This applies particularly to the following data and periods:

  • Connection data
    Data will be deleted in accordance with the specifications of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) upon the expiry of the legally required data retention periods, provided that such data have been collected at all.
  • Applicant data and personal data
    Data will be deleted in accordance with the specifications of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the accompanying further provisions, e.g. General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) after not more than six months or, as the case may be, upon the expiry of the legally required period of retention (usually after ten years).
  • Data of customers / potential customers
    Data will be deleted in accordance with the specifications of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) upon the expiry of the legally required data retention periods (usually after ten years).
  • In case of objection
    Data will be deleted immediately in accordance with the specifications of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) unless there is a conflict with other legally required periods. Data will be deleted upon the expiry of such periods at the latest. In accordance with article 28 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the parties entering an objection will be noted in a restricted list in order to be able to ascertain the effectiveness of the objection.

If for technical or organizational reasons a deletion of data is not possible, your data will be locked against further processing or utilization in conformity with the data protection provisions.
9. Data transfer to foreign countries Personal data will only be transferred to the EU and to third countries in as far as this is required for fulfilling the business purposes you have commissioned us with or, as the case may be, we are legally obliged to fulfil.

By means of appropriate measures, we cope with the special requirements for protection, in particular only personal data which are absolutely necessary will be transferred.
10. Safety precautions in accordance with article 9 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) + annex

We have taken numerous measures to protect your data. It would be counterproductive to provide any details as this would make the structure itself easier to attack. This is why in accordance with the Federal Data Protecton Act (BDSG), the German Law in your interest provides that details on the individual technical and organizational measures shall not be made publicly available.

We assure you, however, that according to the requirements on a company our size we have taken a variety of measures in conformity with the following provisions of article 9 and annex of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and that we permanently improve such measures:

  • Physical access control
  • Data access control
  • Data usage control
  • Data transmission control
  • Entry control
  • Contractual control
  • Availability control
  • Separation rule
