Privacy policy

  1. Introduction
    With the following information, we would like to give you as a “data subject” an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.
    The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to “MCT MultiChannelTrade GmbH”. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
    As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.
    You can also take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:
    – Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.
    – Only you should have access to the passwords.
    – Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
    – Do not use the same password for different websites, applications or online services.
    – The following applies in particular when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people: You should always log out after logging in to a website, application or online service.
    Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen in such a way that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives, but should contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
  2. Responsible
    The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:
    MCT MultiChannelTrade GmbH
    Industriestrasse 14, 86720 Nördlingen, Germany
    Representative of the controller: Axel Herrmann

  4. Definitions
    The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance. We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy
    1. Personal data
      Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 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.
    2. Data subject
      A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
    3. Processing
      Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
    4. Restriction of processing
      Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
    5. Profiling
      Profiling means 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 analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
    6. Pseudonymization
      Pseudonymization 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
    7. Processor
      Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
    8. Recipient
      Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
    9. Third party
      A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
    10. 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 relating to him or her.
  5. Legal basis for processing
    If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
    If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 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 their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.
    Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
    Our services are generally aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.
  6. Transfer of data to third parties
    Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
    We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
    1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
    2. the transfer is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
    3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and
    4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

    As part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly stated this for the service providers concerned in the privacy policy. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply in the case of data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
  7. Technology
    1. SSL/TLS encryption
      This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains “https://” instead of “http://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
      We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
    2. Data collection when visiting the website
      If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:
      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 referrer),
      4. the sub-websites which are 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) and,
      7. the internet service provider of the accessing system.
      When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required to
      1. correctly deliver the content of our website,
      2. optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
      3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT 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 collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us 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 processed by us. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
      The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.
    3. External hosting
      This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.
      The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
      Our hoster will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data. In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our hoster.
      We use the following hoster:
      AREA-NET GmbH, Öschstraße 33, 73072 Donzdorf
      Details on AREA-NET’s data processing can be found at https://www.area-net.de/datenschutz/
  8. Cookies
    1. General information about cookies
      Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.
      Information is stored in the cookie that results from the connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
      The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
      In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
      On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage duration of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.
    2. Legal basis for the use of cookies
      The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
      For all other cookies, you must have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
    3. CCM19 (Consent Management Tool)
      We use the Consent Management Platform “CCM19” from Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn, Germany. This service enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.
      CCM19 collects data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user gives consent, CCM19 automatically logs the following data:
      – Browser information.
      – Date and time of access.
      – Device information.
      – The URL of the page visited.
      – Geographic location.
      – Page path of the website.
      – The end-user’s consent status, which serves as proof of consent.
      The consent status is also stored in the end-user’s browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end-user’s consent in all subsequent page requests and future end-user sessions for up to 12 months. The consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period in accordance with Section 195 of the German Civil Code (BGB). The data will then be deleted immediately or forwarded to the person responsible on request in the form of a data export.
      The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing described. There is no possibility of objection on the part of the user as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user’s consent to certain data processing operations (Art. 7 para. 1, 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR).
      CCM19 is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.
      Detailed information on the use of CCM19 can be found at: https://www.ccm19.de/datenschutzerklaerung.html.
  9. Use of the website analysis service Google Analytics
    1. Description and scope of data processing
      This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website can be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Google Analytics data may not be passed on without the customer’s consent, unless there are special circumstances such as legal requirements.

      As part of Google Analytics, we also use the Google Signals extension, which enables tracking across multiple end devices. For this purpose, Google uses the data of users who are simultaneously logged into a Google service when visiting websites and have activated the “personalized advertising” option in their Google account settings(https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated). Google Signals is also only used with IP anonymization activated.
    2. Legal basis for data processing
      The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
    3. Purpose of data processing
      The purpose of using data and analysis with Google Analytics is to optimize our services.
  10. Contents of our website
    1. Contacting us / contact form
      Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
    2. Application management / job exchange
      We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
      The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with. § Section 26 (1) BDSG.
  11. Our activities on social networks
    We have our own pages on social networks so that we can communicate with you and inform you about our services. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.
    We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
    As a precaution, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks.
    The described processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR.
    As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks is provided below by the respective social network provider we use:

Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
      This tool allows “website tags” (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you.
      The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have opted out at domain or cookie level, this will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
      These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
      The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may also be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.
      Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
    2. Microsoft Teams

      – data that is shared about you. Examples include your email address, profile picture and phone number.
      – A detailed history of the phone calls you make.
      – Call quality data.
      – Support/feedback data Information related to troubleshooting tickets or feedback sent to Microsoft.
      – Diagnostic and service data Diagnostic data related to service usage.
      To enable the display of video and playback of audio, data from your device’s microphone and a video camera on the device will be processed for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the “Microsoft Teams” applications.
      If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In the context of an employment relationship, corresponding data processing takes place on the basis of Section 26 BDSG. The legal basis for the use of “MS Teams” in the context of contractual relationships is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest here is in the effective conduct of online meetings.
      If we record online meetings, we will inform you of this before the start and, if necessary, ask for your consent to the recording. If you do not wish this, you can leave the online meeting.
      As a cloud-based service, “MS-Teams” processes the aforementioned data as part of the provision of the service. To the extent that “MS-Teams” processes personal data in connection with Microsoft’s legitimate business operations, Microsoft is an independent data controller for such use and as such is responsible for compliance with applicable laws and data controller obligations. If you access the MS Teams website, Microsoft is responsible for the data processing. Accessing the website is required to download the MS-Teams software.
      This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.
      Detailed information on data protection at Microsoft in connection with “MS Teams” can be found at: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/microsoftteams/teams-privacy.
    3. YouTube (videos)
      We have integrated YouTube components on this website. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
      If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website you are visiting when you access a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.
      YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google in this way, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.
      These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
      The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may also be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.
