Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in HOLISHIP and our services. To make you feel safe and comfortable when you visit our website, we take the protection of your personal data and its confidential treatment very seriously.

With this information on data protection we would therefore like to inform you when we store which data and for what purpose we use it – naturally in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.

Should you have any further questions regarding the handling of your personal data, please do not hesitate to contact our Data Protection Officer, whose contact details you will find below.

The constant technological development, changes in our services or the legal situation as well as other reasons may require adjustments to our Privacy Policy. We therefore reserve the right to change this data protection declaration at any time and ask you to inform yourself regularly about the current status.

Basic information

Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data is collected, processed or used when using our websites.

When you access our Internet pages, our Web servers automatically collect general information. This includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of the Internet service provider, the IP address of the computer used, the website from which you visit us, the pages you visit on our site and the date and duration of your visit.

This data cannot be used by us to identify the individual user. We only evaluate the information statistically and use it exclusively to improve the attractiveness, contents and functionalities of our websites.

Definition of personal data

The term personal data is defined in the German Federal Data Protection Act. According to this, these are individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your real name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth.

In the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), personal data is defined as follows:

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “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.

Legal basis for the collection of personal data

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of your personal data.

When processing your personal data to fulfil a contract between you and HSVA, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b, GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c, GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f, GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or the processing restricted blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be restricted or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned legal provisions expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Collection and processing of personal data

Personal data is only collected if you provide it voluntarily. There you will be informed about the intended purpose of processing and, if necessary, asked for your consent to storage.

The personal data collected within the framework of our websites will only be used without your explicit consent for order processing or processing your enquiries. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Your data is encrypted before transmission and processing in order to protect it from access by unauthorised persons. Please note that unencrypted e-mails are transmitted without access protection.

Your data will not be sold, rented or made available to third parties in any other way than described here. Personal data will only be transferred to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legislation. Our employees, agencies and dealers are bound by us to the strictest confidentiality.

Contact

You can contact us via our e-mail address or by telephone. The personal data transmitted to us in this way will of course only be used for the purpose for which you made them available to us when contacting us.

If you use our contact form and we request information that is not required to establish contact, we have always marked it as optional. These details serve us to substantiate your inquiry and to improve the processing of your request. Providing this information takes place expressly on voluntary basis and with your consent. If this involves information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may contact you via this communication channel in order to respond to your request.

Data transmission to external service providers

You can of course revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. For this, please contact our data protection officer, whose contact details you will find below.

Right to restriction of processing

Under the requirements of Art. 18 GDPR, you may also request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted.

We will inform you before the restriction is removed.

Right to Data Portability

In addition, according to Article 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive personal data concerning you from us in a machine-readable format and to transmit the data to another controller without hindrance, provided that the requirements of Article 20 para. 1 lit. a, GDPR are met, or to obtain that your personal data are transmitted directly by us to another controller, provided that this is technically feasible and no freedoms and rights of other persons are impaired thereby.

You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent with a statement to HSVA at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
