Privacy Policy
We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of HADIFILM GmbH & Co. KG. The use of the internet pages of HADIFILM GmbH & Co. KG is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via 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 generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data – such as 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 regulations applicable to HADIFILM GmbH & Co. KG. 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. Furthermore, this privacy policy is intended to inform data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.
HADIFILM GmbH & Co. KG, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of HADIFILM GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners.
To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “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 to 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 are processed by the data controller.
c) Processing
Processing means 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 means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s 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 to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or data controller
The controller or data controller is 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 law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.
h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a particular inquiry under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent 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
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions with data protection character is:
HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG
Maistr. 35 Rgb.
80337 Munich
Germany
E-Mail: office@hadifilm.com
Website: www.hadifilm.com
3. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The data collected may include (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reached our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for the protection against threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
4. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or insofar as this is 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 storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
5. Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right of Access
Every data subject whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored concerning them and to receive a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to receive information about the following:
he data subject has the right to be informed about the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data that are being processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, especially in the case of recipients in third countries or international organizations. Where possible, the data subject shall also be informed about the envisaged duration for which the personal data will be stored, or if this is not possible, about the criteria used to determine that duration. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the correction or deletion of personal data concerning them, the restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to the processing. The data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If the personal data are not collected from the data subject, the data subject has the right to be informed of any available information about the source of the data. The data subject has the right to be informed about the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, according to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and at least in such cases, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject has the right to receive information about the appropriate safeguards related to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of information, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to demand the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of the processing, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject whose personal data are processed has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller the immediate deletion of personal data concerning them, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is no longer necessary:
The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based according to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data were processed unlawfully.
The deletion of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG, they may contact an employee responsible for processing at any time. The HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG employee will ensure that the deletion request is promptly fulfilled.
If the personal data has been made public by HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG and our company, as the controller pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, is obliged to delete the personal data, HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG will take appropriate measures—considering available technology and implementation costs—including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to such personal data, as well as copies or replications of the data, unless processing is necessary. The HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG employee will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by HADIFILM GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of HADIFILM GmbH & Co. KG will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of others are not adversely affected.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG at any time.
g) Right to Object
Every data subject whose personal data are being processed has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of such an objection, HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG or another staff member. Additionally, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every person 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, unless the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the person concerned and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the person concerned, or (3) is based on the explicit consent of the person concerned.
If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the person concerned and the controller, or (2) is based on the explicit consent of the person concerned, HADIFILM GmbH & Co.KG takes appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the person concerned, which include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the person concerned wishes to assert rights regarding automated decisions, they can contact an employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time.
Right to withdraw data protection consent
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the person concerned wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact an employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time.
6. Data Protection Regulations on the Use and Deployment of Facebook
The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an online social meeting place, an internet community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the internet community to share personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect with others through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For the processing of personal data, the responsible party is, if a data subject resides outside the USA or Canada, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller, and which contains a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in), is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook.
A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.
As part of this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes with every visit to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, for example the “Like” button, or leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information via the Facebook component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided that the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of the visit. This happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such transmission of information to Facebook, they can prevent it by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings Facebook offers to protect the data subject's privacy. Additionally, various applications are available that allow the data subject to block the transmission of data to Facebook. These applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transfer to Facebook.
7. Data Protection Provisions for the Use and Application of Instagram
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos, as well as to further distribute such data on other social networks.
he operating company of the Instagram services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) is integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically instructed by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding Instagram component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Instagram, Instagram recognizes, with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific subpage the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted in this way are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided the data subject is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not wish for such information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before visiting our website.
Further information and Instagram’s applicable privacy policies can be accessed at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
8. Privacy Policy Regarding the Use and Deployment of YouTube
The controller responsible for processing has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an online video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips for free, and other users can watch, rate, and comment on these videos at no cost. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos, which means that complete movies and TV shows, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos created by users themselves, are accessible through the internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the data controller, and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) is integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube recognizes, upon accessing a subpage containing a YouTube video, which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component whenever the data subject visits our website, provided the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not wish for such transmission of information to YouTube and Google, they can prevent it by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.
The privacy policies published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
9. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations in 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 necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations required for pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
In rare cases, processing personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company is injured and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information must be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing that is not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh those interests. Such processing operations are expressly permitted because the European legislator considered that a legitimate interest could exist, especially if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
10. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party
If 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 shareholders.
11. Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
Legal or contractual requirements for providing personal data; necessity for contract conclusion; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may arise from contractual obligations (e.g., information about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which we then have to process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract not being concluded with the data subject. Before providing personal data, the data subject should contact one of our employees. Our employee will individually inform the data subject whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.
13. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
This privacy policy was created using the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as an external data protection officer in Landshut, in cooperation with the IT and data protection law attorney Christian Solmecke.
