Privacy policy

Privacy policy of Rizon GmbH (limited liability) for the use of the website.

Status: June 2021

In this privacy policy, we (RIZON GmbH (limited liability), Königsallee 92a, 40212 Düsseldorf, Germany, hereinafter also referred to as "Rizon") inform you about the processing of personal data when using our website and our social media presences.

The term "personal data" has the meaning of the definition in Art. 4 No. 1 DSGVO.

You are welcome to save our data protection declaration on your computer or print it out by using the browser options provided for this purpose.

I. Responsible person/contact person

The contact person and responsible party within the meaning of the DSGVO for the processing of personal data when calling up this website is.

RIZON GmBH (limited liability)
Königsallee 92a
40212 Düsseldorf

For all questions regarding data protection in connection with our services or the use of our website, you can also contact our data protection team at any time. This can be reached at the above postal address and at the e-mail address datenschutz@rizon.de.

II. data processing on our website

a) Access data

Every time you call up and use our website, we collect personal data, so-called "necessary access data". These are provided to us automatically by your access device via the browser. The necessary access data includes in particular:

Your IP address
Date and time of use
Address of the website accessed and the website currently open
Information about the browser used and your operating system
Any session IDs, device identifiers or other unique identifiers.
In this context, the processing of the necessary access data is required to enable the establishment of the connection, the retrieval and display of the website and thus the visit to the website. The permanent functional and security guarantee of our website is also dependent on the processing of the necessary access data. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) DSGVO, as the data is necessary for the implementation of the website usage contract.

b) Reach analysis

In addition, we analyze the reach of our website via the locally installed analysis tool Matomo. For this purpose, individual elements such as the length of stay or the links called up are processed while automatically anonymizing the visitor's IP address (through the PrivacyManager plugin). We have decided not to set any tracking cookies and to run Matomo on the server of our website hoster, which means that this data is not linked or merged with data from third parties. Likewise, no processing takes place across provider boundaries. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a range analysis and the subsequent optimization of our website. Without such optimization, we cannot remain competitive in the long term.

The range analysis carried out by us does not have to be based on the consent of the user. This is also the view of the supervisory authority responsible for us, the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg: https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de/faq-zu-cookies-und-tracking-2/. Matomo has also been configured by us to be data-saving. Further information on Matomo can be found at https://matomo.org/.

c) Contact form

You have the option to contact us via the contact form. In this context, we process data exclusively for the purpose of communicating with you. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. The data collected by us when using the contact form will be automatically deleted after your request has been fully processed, unless we still need your request to fulfill contractual or legal obligations (see section "Storage period").

III. Offers in social media

In order to offer you the greatest possible convenience, we can also be reached via various social media.

These are pages to be found on Instagram, Twitter, Twitch and LinkedIn.

Unless you have your own account with the provider or are logged in there, no personal data will be transmitted when you visit the provider's site via our link. For details about the collection and storage of your personal data as well as the type, scope and purpose of their use by the operator of the respective social network, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective operator:

Instagram is a service of the company Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, whose privacy policy is available at https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875.
Twitter is a service of the company Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland, whose privacy policy is available at https://twitter.com/de/privacy.
Twitch is a service of the company Twitch Interactive, Inc., located at 350 Bush Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104, whose privacy policy is available at https://www.twitch.tv/p/de-de/legal/privacy-notice/.
LinkedIn is a service of the company LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, whose privacy policy is available at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy.
By calling up one of these pages, the operator may collect and process data about you. The operator of the service there is solely responsible for this data processing. We have decided against the integration of so-called plugins, buttons or widgets of the individual services, as we would otherwise also be responsible for the data processing by these services.

When actively using these services, data processing is governed by the privacy policy of the respective service. Rizon has no influence on this. We would like to point out that you use the services and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. sharing, rating). The data collected about you when using the service will be processed by the respective responsible party and, if necessary, transferred to countries outside the European Union. This includes, among other things, your IP address, the application used, information about the terminal device you are using (including device ID and application ID), information of accessed websites, your location and your mobile provider. The USA in particular, but also other third countries, do not have an adequate level of data protection.

In case of contacting us, this should be done via our website. If you contact us via one of the above services, we will process your personal data in this regard in order to respond to your inquiry.

IV. Passing on of data

We handle the passing on of your data by us very strictly. We will only do so if you have given us your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO), if it is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and if there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not having your data disclosed (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO), this is necessary for the implementation of the contractual relationship with you or the initiation of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) DSGVO) or we are legally obliged to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c) DSGVO).

For offering our website and processing your personal data, we sometimes use service providers. In addition to the service providers explicitly mentioned in this privacy policy, this may include, in particular, data centers for the storage of our website, IT service providers for the maintenance of our services, and consulting companies for the compliance with our legal obligations. The service providers we use may only use your data in accordance with our instructions and only to fulfill the purposes intended by us. We exercise the greatest possible care in selecting and commissioning our service providers and monitor them regularly. In addition, they themselves have suitable technical and organizational measures in place to ensure that the rights of the respective data subjects are protected.

In addition to the legal obligations arising from Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. c), your data may also be disclosed as a result of official inquiries, court orders/resolutions and other legal proceedings.

At the current time, we use the following service provider to host our website

klickmanufaktur GbR
Gmünder Street 37
73614 Schorndorf
www.klickmanufaktur.de

to host our website. For more information about this service provider, please visit their website.

V. Storage period

We store your personal data only as long as this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations. Thereafter, the data will be deleted immediately by us, unless we still need the data until the expiry of the statutory limitation period for evidence purposes for civil claims or on the basis of statutory retention obligations.

For evidentiary purposes, we must retain contractual data for three years from the end of the year in which the business relationship with you ends. Any claims become statute-barred at this point at the earliest in accordance with the standard statutory limitation period.

Even after this, we still have to store some of your data for accounting reasons. We are obliged to do so because of legal documentation obligations that may arise from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, the German Banking Act, the German Money Laundering Act and the German Securities Trading Act. The periods specified there for the retention of documents range from two to ten years.

VI. rights of data subjects

You have the right to obtain information from us about the processing of your personal data. In this context, we will provide you with more detailed information about our data processing and an overview of the data stored about you. If any data we have stored is incorrect or out of date, you have the right to have this data corrected. You may also request the deletion of your data. Please note that your data can only be deleted if certain conditions are met or we no longer need your data, the processing is unlawful or there are other reasons under Art. 17 DSGVO. If a deletion requested by you is exceptionally not possible due to other legal provisions, the data will be blocked should the prerequisites for this exist. Blocking results in this data only being available for the legal purpose. You can also have the processing of your personal data restricted if, for example, the accuracy of the data is doubted on your part. Under certain conditions, you also have the right to data portability, i.e., at your request, we will provide you with a digital copy of the data we have about you.

To assert your rights, please contact us at any time using the above contact details. This also applies if you would like to receive copies of guarantees proving an adequate level of data protection.

Insofar as we receive your personal data during the operation of one of the social media offerings mentioned in III. above, you are entitled to the rights set out in this data protection declaration in this regard. If, in addition, you wish to assert your rights against the services, the easiest way to do so is to contact the services directly. The respective service provider knows both the details of the technical operation of the platform and the associated data processing as well as the specific purposes of the data processing and can implement appropriate measures upon request if you exercise your rights. However, we will be happy to assist you in asserting your rights to the extent possible and will forward your requests to the appropriate service provider.

Your inquiries regarding the assertion of data protection rights and our responses to them will be stored for documentation purposes for a period of two years and in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims even longer. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f ) DSGVO in conjunction with our interests in a legal defense against any claims under Art. 82 DSGVO, the avoidance of fines under Art. 83 DSGVO and the fulfillment of our accountability obligations under art. 5 DSGVO.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation remains unaffected.

Furthermore, insofar as we have protected processing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, you may object to the processing of your data at any time on grounds arising from your particular situation. If it is a matter of an objection to data processing for direct marketing purposes, you have a general right of objection, which will also be implemented by us without giving reasons.

For revocation or objection, an informal communication to the above contact details is sufficient.

You also have the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us:

The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg.
Königstrasse 10 a
70173 Stuttgart

Postal address:
P.O. Box 10 29 32
70025 Stuttgart

Telephone: 0711 615541-0
Fax: 0711 615541-15

E-mail: poststelle@lfdi.bwl.de

You may assert this right at a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
