Email: hello@wearegateway.de

The responsible entity 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, email addresses, or similar).

Storage durationUnless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided that we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

Notice on data transfers to the USA and other third countriesAmong other things, we use tools from companies based in the United States or other third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there.We would like to point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies may be obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, having any legal recourse against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processingMany data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is carried out can be found in this privacy policy.If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purposes of direct advertising (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authorityIn the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portabilityYou have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have such data transmitted to you or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL / TLS encryptionThis website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator.

Right to restriction of processingYou have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. 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 the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data — apart from its storage — may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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.
