Privacy Policy

for the website https://leposol.com.

Types of data, purposes of processing and categories of data subjects

Below, we provide information on the nature, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.

  1. Types of data we process
    Usage data (access times, websites visited, etc.), communication data (IP address, etc.),
  2. Purposes of processing pursuant to Article 13(1)(c) of the GDPR
    To optimise the website technically and economically, to facilitate access to the website, to improve the user experience, to make the website user-friendly, to provide websites with functions and content,
  3. Categories of data subjects pursuant to Article 13(1)(e) of the GDPR
    Visitors/users of the website, customers, suppliers and prospective customers are collectively referred to as ‘users’.

Legal bases for the processing of personal data

Below, we provide information on the legal bases for the processing of personal data:

Where we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
If the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Transfer of data to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has established a uniform framework for data protection across Europe. Your data is therefore primarily processed by organisations to which the GDPR applies. Should processing, however, be carried out by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these must comply with the specific requirements set out in Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR. This means that processing takes place on the basis of specific safeguards, such as the EU Commission’s official recognition of an adequate level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU, or compliance with officially recognised specific contractual obligations, known as ‘standard contractual clauses’. For US companies, compliance with the so-called ‘Privacy Shield’, the data protection agreement between the EU and the US, fulfils these requirements.

Deletion of data and retention period

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, unless its continued retention is necessary for evidential purposes or is prevented by statutory retention obligations. This includes, for example, commercial law retention obligations for business correspondence under Section 257(1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (6 years) and tax law retention obligations under Section 147(1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) for supporting documents (10 years). Once the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless storage is still required for the conclusion of a contract or for the performance of a contract.

Existence of automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Cookies

  1. We use cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your computer. When you visit our website again, these cookies transmit information to automatically recognise you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimise our website both technically and economically, and to provide you with easier and more secure access to our website. When you visit our website, we inform you via a link to our privacy policy about the use of cookies for the aforementioned purposes and how you can object to this or prevent their storage (‘opt-out’). Our website uses session cookies, persistent cookies and third-party cookies:
    • Session cookies:
      We use so-called cookies to recognise when the same user accesses a service multiple times (e.g. when you have logged in, to determine your login status). When you visit our site again, these cookies transmit information to automatically recognise you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimise our services and to make it easier for you to access our site. When you close your browser or log out, the session cookies are deleted.
    • Persistent cookies:
      These are automatically deleted after a set period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time via your browser’s security settings.
    • Third-party cookies:
      You can configure your browser settings as you wish and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the features of this website. For more information about these cookies, please refer to the respective privacy policies of the third-party providers.
  2. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR where cookies are set for the purpose of entering into a contract, for example when placing orders; in other cases, we have a legitimate interest in ensuring the website functions effectively, in which case the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
  3. Objection and “opt-out”: You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive by selecting “do not accept cookies” in your browser settings. However, this may result in some features of our services being restricted. You can object to the use of third-party cookies for advertising purposes via an ‘opt-out’ on this US website (https://optout.aboutads.info) or this European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/).

Contact us via the contact form / email / post

  1. When you contact us via the contact form, by fax, post or email, your details will be processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry.
  2. The legal basis for processing the data, where you have given your consent, is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of a contact enquiry or via email, letter or fax is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The controller has a legitimate interest in processing and storing the data in order to be able to respond to user enquiries, to preserve evidence for liability purposes and, where applicable, to comply with its statutory retention obligations regarding business correspondence. If the contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
  3. We may store your details and contact enquiry in our Customer Relationship Management System (“CRM System”) or a comparable system.
  4. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data entered via the contact form and data sent by email, this is the case once the relevant conversation with you has been concluded. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved. We store enquiries from users who have an account or contract with us for a period of two years following the termination of the contract. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after these have expired: at the end of the retention period under commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years).
  5. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you contact us by email, you may object to the storage of your personal data at any time.

Rights of the data subject

  1. Objection or withdrawal of consent regarding the processing of your data: Where the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal. Where we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, you may object to the processing. This is the case where the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, as we will explain in the following description of the functions. If you exercise such an objection, we ask you to state the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have been doing. In the event of a justified objection, we will examine the circumstances and either cease or adjust the data processing, or explain to you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing. You may object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis at any time. You may exercise this right to object free of charge. You may inform us of your objection to advertising at any time by emailing us at the following address: jobs@leporello.solar
  2. Right of access
    You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you have the right to access your personal data stored by us in accordance with Article 15 of the GDPR. This includes, in particular, information regarding the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, and the origin of your data, provided that it was not collected directly from you.
  3. Right to rectification
    You have the right to have inaccurate data rectified or accurate data completed in accordance with Article 16 of the GDPR.
  4. Right to erasure
    You have the right to have your data stored by us erased in accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR, unless this is prevented by statutory or contractual retention periods or other legal obligations or rights requiring further storage.
  5. Right to restriction
    You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted if any of the conditions set out in Article 18(1)(a) to (d) of the GDPR are met:

    • If you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
    • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
    • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
    • if you have 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 your grounds.
  6. Right to data portability
    You have a right to data portability under Article 20 of the GDPR, which means that you can receive the personal data we hold about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or request that it be transferred to another controller.
  7. Right to complain
    You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a general rule, you may contact the supervisory authority in the Member State where you reside, where you work, or where the alleged infringement took place.
