The persons concerned are collectively referred to as “users”.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In the following we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:
If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory storage obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. d) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect our interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail in this respect, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors
Without your consent, we will not pass on any data to third parties. Should this be the case, however, the transfer will take place on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when data is passed on to online payment providers for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to surrender the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use contract processors (external service providers e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors within the framework of an agreement for order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO. We select our processors carefully, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken suitable technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and DS-GVO
Data transfer to third countries
With the adoption of the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (DS-GVO), a uniform basis for data protection in Europe was created. Your data is therefore processed primarily by companies to which the DS-GVO applies. If, however, processing is carried out by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must comply with the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DS-GVO. This means that the processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission’s officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”.
If, due to the invalidity of the so-called “Privacy Shield”, according to Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO, we obtain your express consent to the transfer of data to the USA, we will point out the risk of secret access by US authorities and the use of the data for surveillance purposes, if necessary without any legal remedies for EU citizens.
Deletion of data and storage duration
Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the consent granted for processing is revoked by you or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless its further storage is required for evidence purposes or this is opposed by statutory storage obligations. This includes, for example, commercial storage obligations for business letters according to § 257 para. 1 HGB (6 years) as well as tax storage obligations according to § 147 para. 1 AO of receipts (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless the storage is still necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Existence of an automated decision making process
We do not use automatic decision making or profiling.
Provision of our website and creation of log files
If you use our website for informational purposes only (i.e. no registration or other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser sends to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data:

This data will not be stored together with other personal data about you.
These data serve the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and contents as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation.
The legal basis for this is our justified interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which is also contained in the above-mentioned purposes.
For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a storage period of 30 days. After this period has expired, they are automatically deleted, unless we require their storage for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.

Data categories and description of data processing: cookies, date and time of visit, device information, browser information, anonymized IP address, opt-in and opt-out data. Through this service we can obtain your consent to the storage of cookies and also document this. In addition, a cookie is stored in your browser to enable us to assign the consent you have given or to revoke it. Please see Borlabs’ privacy policy below for more information: https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.
Purposes of data processing: compliance with legal obligations, storage of consent.

Duration of storage: Storage of the data until you delete the Borlabs cookie in your browser yourself or the purpose for which the data is stored no longer applies. The proof of revocation of a previously granted consent will be kept for a period of three years. The storage is based on our accountability in accordance with Art. 5 Para. 2 DSGVO as well as the regular statute of limitations.
Data transmission/recipient category: data will not be transmitted to Borlabs.
Processing of contracts
We process inventory data (e.g. company, title/academic degree, names and addresses as well as contact data of users, e-mail), contract data (e.g. services used, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations (knowing who is the contractual partner; justification, content and processing of the contract; checking the plausibility of the data) and services (e.g. contacting customer service) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit b) DS-GVO. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.
In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims (e.g. transfer to a lawyer for collection) or to fulfill the contract (e.g. transfer of the data to payment providers) or if there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) DS-GVO.
We may also process the data you provide in order to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you e-mails with technical information.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. This is the case for inventory and contract data when the data is no longer necessary for the execution of the contract and no more claims can be asserted under the contract because they are time-barred (warranty: two years / standard limitation period: three years). We are obliged by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, if the contract is terminated after three years, we will restrict processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. Details in the user account remain until it is deleted.
Use of the blog functions / comments
You can make public comments in our blog, which contains posts on topics of our website. You can use a pseudonym instead of a real name. Your post will then be published under the pseudonym. It is mandatory to provide your e-mail address, all other information is voluntary.
When you post a comment, we save your IP address with date and time, which we delete after 30 days. The storage serves the legitimate interest of the defense against claims of third parties in the publication of illegal or untrue content by you. We store your e-mail address for the purpose of contacting you if third parties should legally object to your comments.
The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) and f) DS-GVO.
We do not check your comments before publication. In the event of objections by third parties, we reserve the right to delete your comments. We do not pass on the data to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1. lit. c) DS-GVO).
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection or the execution of the contract because the contract has been terminated.
Contact via contact form / e-mail / fax / mail
If you contact us by contact form, fax, mail or e-mail, your data will be processed for the purpose of processing your contact request.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO if you have given your consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of a contact inquiry or e-mail, letter or fax is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. The person responsible has a legitimate interest in the processing and storage of the data in order to be able to respond to user inquiries, to secure evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, to be able to comply with his or her legal obligations to retain business letters. If the purpose of the contact is the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GVO.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation ends when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. Inquiries from users who have an account or a contract with us will be stored for a period of two years after termination of the contract. In the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry: end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation.
You have the possibility at any time to revoke your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO to the processing of personal data. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.

The storage is done for liability and security reasons to be able to prove the call and for economic reasons to enable a call back. In case of unauthorized advertising calls, we block the phone numbers.
The legal basis for the processing of the telephone number is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. If the purpose of the contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DS-GVO.

You can subscribe to our newsletter with your voluntary consent by entering your e-mail address. Only this is mandatory. The provision of further data is voluntary and only serves the purpose of a personal contact. We use the so-called “double opt-in procedure” for registration. After you have registered with your e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail from us to confirm your registration with a confirmation link.

If you do not click on the confirmation link within 24 hours, your registration data will be blocked and automatically deleted after 30 days.

We will evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this purpose, the newsletters contain so-called “web beacons” or “tracking pixels”, which are called up when the newsletter is opened. For evaluation purposes, we link the web beacons to your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is collected pseudonymously, so the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. With this data we can determine if and when you opened the newsletter and which links in the newsletter were clicked. This serves the purpose of optimizing and statistically evaluating our newsletter.
We use the data collected above to create a user profile in order to identify the reading habits and interests of our users and thus individualize the newsletter. If you have also carried out other actions on our website, we also link this data to it in order to adapt our newsletter content to your interests.
The legal basis for sending the newsletter, measuring its success and storing the e-mail is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO in conjunction with § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG and for the recording of consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, as this serves our legitimate interest in legal provability.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time. You can exercise the revocation by clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter, sending an e-mail or sending a message to our contact details above.
