4. Definitions

When issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the European legislator used some terms that require explanation, which are briefly explained here.

In detail these are:

4.1 Personal Data

Personal data is 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 characteristics specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

4.2 Affected Person

The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller (our company).

4.3 Processing

Processing is any operation or series of operations carried out on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, or
modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution, or other form of provision, alignment or association, restriction, deletion, or destruction.

4.4 Restriction of Processing

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

4.5 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 analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

4.6 Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be assigned 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.

4.7 Processor

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

4.8 Recipients

The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to whom personal data is disclosed, regaurdless of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a specific inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

4.9 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.

4.10 Consent

Consent is any voluntary, 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

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for 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 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 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 for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order 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 details, or other vital information would then 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.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned 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).

6. Technique

6.1 SSL/TLS encryption

The 99BOTS GmbH website generally uses TLS encryption (https://) to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content.

6.2 Cookies

Our website does not use any cookies that are not technically necessary. Technically necessary cookies are used, in particular, to maintain the connection between the website server and your browser. A cookie may be necessary here.

7. Contents of Our Website

7.1 Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in so-called server log files. This data is generated every time you visit a website and is technically necessary. These are:

7.2 Contact / Contact form

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via a contact form or email). The data that is collected in the case of 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 processing 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 concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request. This is the case if it can be seen from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.
