We are very pleased about your interest in our company. The protection of your data is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

The use of the website of www.ad-case.de is possible without any indication of personal data. If there is no legal basis for the processing of your personal data, we generally always obtain your consent. However, when using special services on our company’s website, the processing of personal data may become necessary.

Personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, will always be processed in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the data protection regulations of ADcase. By means of this data protection declaration, data subjects are informed of their rights and the public is informed of the purpose, nature and scope of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data transmitted via our website and processed. However, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps. Absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to and from us by alternative means. Alternative ways can be the telephone or postal data transmission.

We expressly point out that minors should not transmit personal data to us without the consent of their legal guardians.

Personal data means any information relating to an identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable person is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly by association with an identifier (e.g. name, identification number, location data, online identifier or special characteristics). Special characteristics are characteristics which are expressions of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological economic, cultural and/or social identity of the data subject.

All data transmitted to us is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology. The data is sent to us as securely as possible and protected from access by third parties. In addition, we operate other security measures to protect your data and our website from unauthorized third parties, damage or destruction.

Collection of general data

Each time a data subject or another system calls up our website, our homepage collects a series of general data and information that is stored in the server’s log files. The following general data may be collected:

Internet browser used including version
Operating system used
The website from which the data subject accessed our homepage
Date and time of access
The IP address
The Internet service provider
Other information that serves to avert danger to our IT systems.
No data subjects are identified when using this general data. This data is used for

The correct provision of the contents of our website;
the optimization of our website;
the guarantee of our permanent operability of the website and IT systems;
providing information to law enforcement authorities in case of cyber attacks;
required. This anonymized For the use of the servers and services of our web hoster (webgo GmbH, Wandsbeker Zollstr. 95, 22041 Hamburg, Germany), we have concluded a contract for commissioned data processing and implement it strictly in accordance with the requirements of the DSGVO and the German data protection authorities.

We offer our users the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter on our website. The personal data that are sent to the controller when ordering the newsletter result from the input mask, in the case of a customer account from the personal data stored in the customer account.

Customers and interested parties are informed at irregular intervals about innovations to the ADcase services via the newsletter. The newsletter is only sent to data subjects with a valid e-mail address and with the consent of the data subject.

The personal data collected in the context of ordering the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of sending our newsletter, as well as for the notification of changes affecting the newsletter. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time and without giving reasons. The consent to the storage of personal data for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked by the data subject at any time and without giving reasons. For the revocation, a link can be found in each newsletter.

The newsletter service is carried out by ourselves, so that no commissioned data processing takes place at this point.

Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO 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 a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned 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 are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subjects to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the personal data.
At this point, we inform you that the provision of personal data is required for certain activities. These requirements are based in part on legal foundations (e.g. tax regulations) or on contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). For a contract to be concluded, it is therefore necessary for data subjects to provide us with personal data. This personal data must be processed by us in the course of fulfilling the contract. In order to conclude a contract with our company, the data subject is consequently obliged to provide us with personal data. Failure to provide personal data would result in no contract being concluded. For further information on the provision of personal data, and whether provision is necessary in individual cases, the data subject may inquire with the controller. Please send inquiries in this regard by e-mail to info@ad-case.de or by post.

Storage period of personal data

We store personal data in accordance with the statutory retention periods. After expiry of the periods, corresponding data is routinely deleted. Exceptions to routine deletion are personal data that are still required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The data is stored within the legal time limits, or only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage. Personal data that you provide to us for the processing of purchase and/or order transactions may be stored for up to ten years for reasons of commercial and tax law. After expiry of the periods, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Disclosure of information to third parties

We share data only for required business activities, such as shipping and payment processing. Trading with personal data of data subjects is explicitly not part of our business. When passing on data, we take extreme care to ensure that the data transmitted is protected and not misused. Data is only passed on to third parties in the following cases:

Partner companies: We interact in business processes with some other companies. These business processes include, but are not limited to, shipping and processing payments. These companies need customer information to perform our services, or the services they provide. These companies are required to handle the information in accordance with German data protection laws.
Transfer of business shares: If ADcase is acquired in whole or in part by a third party, customer information may be transferred to the third party. However, the information must still be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy unless otherwise expressly agreed to by you.
For Protective Reasons: If we are required by law, it is to enforce our Terms and Conditions, or we are required to protect the rights of third parties, we will share information with government agencies, companies, or the like. This is done only to protect rights and to protect against abuse and violations of the law, but not for commercial reasons.
Existence of automatic decision making

We do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

Furthermore, you as the data subject have the right to object on grounds relating to the processing of personal data concerning you, for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. If you, as the data subject, wish to exercise this right, an employee of the controller is available to you at any time. Inform us of your wish by e-mail to info@ad-case.de or by post. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8) Automated decision in individual cases including profiling.

As a data subject, you have the right under the GDPR 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 or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject, and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent.
