Conclusion of a contract on commissioned processing
In order to ensure privacy-compliant processing, Antique Wines and Spirits has concluded a contract on commissioned processing with Contabo GmbH: Contabo ADV contract
Official statement from Contabo GmbH to Antique Wines and Spirits
"We cannot easily access the majority of our customers' server systems and thus personal data stored there. From our point of view, there is therefore no obligation for many of our customers to conclude a commissioned processing agreement as stipulated in the EU Privacy Regulation. Nevertheless, we understand your need for legal certainty in this matter and accordingly conclude the commissioned processing agreement with you in accordance with Art. 28 EU-DSGVO, regardless of whether there is a mandatory legal obligation to do so."
General information
Privacy
Antique Wines and Spirits takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal privacy regulations as well as this privacy policy.
When you visit www.antiquewinesandspirits.com, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how this is done and for what purpose.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Mandatory information
Responsible party
The data controller for this website is:
Antique Wines & Spirits
Jörg Matzdorff
Habichtweg 7
51429 Bergisch Gladbach
Germany
info@antiquewinesandspirits.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.
Your rights
Revoke your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO).
If the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. E or F DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, Antique Wines and Spirits will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR). If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Data security, SSL or TLS encryption
Antique Wines and Spirits has taken both technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data you provide against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorised access. Our employees and all persons involved in data processing are obliged to comply with privacy laws and to handle personal data confidentially.
www.antiquewinesandspirits.com uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment on this website
If, after the conclusion of a contract with costs, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data to us (e.g. account number in the case of direct debit authorisation), this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via the common means of payment (PayPal, Visa or MasterCard and direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser line. With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and those of Antique Wines and Spirits. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may ― apart from being stored ― only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
There is also a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
The supervisory authority responsible for us is:
Nordrhein-Westfälischer Datenschutzbeauftragte
Kavalleriestraße 2-4
40213 Düsseldorf
Germany
No automated case-by-case-decision
We do not use your personal data for automated case-by-case decisions in the sense of Art. 22 (1) DSGVO.
