Privacy policy

Data protection

We are very pleased that you have shown interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Hammer Tackle GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of Hammer Tackle GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Hammer Tackle GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, Hammer Tackle GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of Hammer Tackle GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easily readable and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:

  Personal data is all 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 is processed by the controller.

• d) Restriction of processing

  Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

• e) Profiling

  Profiling is 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

• f) Pseudonymisation

  Pseudonymisation 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

• g) Controller or person responsible for processing

  The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for his or her nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

• h) Processors

  A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

• j) Third party

  Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons authorised to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.

• k) Consent

  Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

Email: info@HammerTackle.com
Website: www.HammerTackle.com

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Hammer Tackle GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Hammer Tackle GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Cookies can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their login details every time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart using a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Hammer Tackle GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Hammer Tackle GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Hammer Tackle GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

5. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the controller's database.

The controller will provide any data subject with information on request at any time about which personal data about the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller will correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of Hammer Tackle GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter.

Hammer Tackle GmbH regularly informs its customers and business partners about company offers by means of a newsletter. Our company's newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to legally protect the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link can be found in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking the consent. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to communicate this to the controller in another way.

7. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of Hammer Tackle GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, Hammer Tackle GmbH can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject, and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. If you unsubscribe from receiving the newsletter, Hammer Tackle GmbH automatically interprets this as a revocation.

8. Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of Hammer Tackle GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

9. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website

The comments made in the blog of Hammer Tackle GmbH can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commentator to subscribe to the comments following his or her comment on a specific blog post.

If a data subject decides to subscribe to comments, the controller will send an automatic confirmation email to check in the double opt-in procedure whether the owner of the specified email address has really decided on this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

10. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if 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 the statutory provisions.

11. Rights of the data subject

• a) Right to confirmation

  Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of providing a supplementary statement.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

• d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

  Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to erase personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following reasons applies and to the extent that processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.

  • The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

  If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Hammer Tackle GmbH, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of Hammer Tackle GmbH or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

  If the personal data was made public by Hammer Tackle GmbH and our company as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase the personal data, Hammer Tackle GmbH shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data. that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The data protection officer of Hammer Tackle GmbH or another employee will take the necessary measures in individual cases.

• e) Right to restriction of processing

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request that the controller restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  • 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 refuses the deletion of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • The data subject has lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Article 21 Paragraph 1 of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh 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 at Hammer Tackle GmbH, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the data controller at any time. The data protection officer of Hammer Tackle GmbH or another employee will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

• 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 him or her, which the data subject has provided to a person responsible, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You 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 in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR or Article 9 Paragraph 2 letter a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or is carried out in the exercise of official authority, which has been transferred to the person responsible.

  Furthermore, when exercising his or her right to data portability in accordance with Article 20 (1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one person responsible to another person responsible, to the extent that this is technically feasible and provided that This does not affect the rights and freedoms of other people.

• g) Right to object

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter e or f GDPR, to lodge an objection. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

  Hammer Tackle GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend of legal claims.

  If Hammer Tackle GmbH processes personal data in order to conduct direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected to such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to Hammer Tackle GmbH processing for direct advertising purposes, Hammer Tackle GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

  In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her that is carried out by Hammer Tackle GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 Para. 1 DS- GMOs take place, unless such processing is necessary to fulfill a task carried out in the public interest.

  To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact the data protection officer of Hammer Tackle GmbH or another employee directly. Furthermore, in connection with the use of information society services, the data subject is free, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

• h) Automated decisions in individual cases 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 him or her or similarly significantly affects him, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and such legislation appropriates measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject or (3) is carried out with the express consent of the data subject.

  If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the Hammer Tackle GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as those entitled to protect the interests of the data subject, which includes at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the person responsible, to express one's own point of view and to challenge the decision.

  If the data subject would like to assert rights with regard to automated decisions, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the data controller at any time.

• i) Right to revoke consent under data protection law

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

  If the data subject would like to exercise their right to revoke their consent, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the person responsible for processing at any time.

12. Data protection for applications and the application process

The person responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing can also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends relevant application documents to the person responsible for processing electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the person responsible for processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If the person responsible for processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is announced, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

13. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company 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, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out 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 to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of 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 were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

14. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

15. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline has expired, the relevant data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required to fulfill the contract or initiate a contract.

16. Legal or contractual regulations governing the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer explains to the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

17. Existence of automated decision making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
