II. Detailed information

1. General information

a) Personal data

Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information about your identity such as your name, your e-mail address, or your postal address. Information that cannot be linked with your identity (such as statistical information used to count the number of website users) is not considered personal information.

In principle, you can use our online service without disclosing your identity and without providing personal data. In that case we will only collect general information about your visit to our website. However, personal data are collected from you for some of the services offered. These data are  processed by us solely for the purpose of using this online service, in particular to provide the requested information.

An automated decision-making process based on your personal data does not take place in connection with the use of our online service.

b) Collection, processing and use of personal data when visiting our website

As the website operator, based on our legitimate interest (see Article 6 section 1 lit. f. GDPR),  we collect data regarding access to this website and store such data as server log files on the website server. The following data are logged in this way:

•    website visited

•    report on successful access
•    browser used (type and version)
•    operating system used
•    source/referrer from which you accessed the site (the website you visited before)
•    IP-address used

The server log files are erased regularly and automatically. The data are stored for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, optimisation and for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of misuse or malfunctions. If data must be collected for evidentiary purposes, they are excluded from erasure until matters have been finally resolved. These data are not merged with other data sources.

Your personal data are transmitted in encrypted form over the Internet. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for the data transmission.

c) Legal basis of data processing

Insofar as we obtain your consent to processing of your personal data, Article 6 section 1 a) of the GDPR constitutes the legal basis for such data processing.
Insofar as we process your personal data because processing is necessary under a legal obligation, Article 6, 1 lit. c) of the GDPR constitutes the legal basis for such data processing.

Furthermore, Article 6 section 1 lit. f) of the GDPR may constitute the legal basis for data processing, if processing of your personal data 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 your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data.

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we refer to the legal basis on which we process your personal data.
 

d) Use of cookies

We use cookies so that we can provide you with individually optimized content. When you visit our website, you have the option of rejecting cookies. We recommend that you accept cookies, as otherwise the use of our website and our services is only available to a limited extent.

      •     Transient cookies (see b)

Please note that in that case you may not be able to use all functions of this website. Different  browsers offer differing ways to configure cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser which explains how you can change your cookie settings.

3. Newsletter

 With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, in which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

Following your future purchases of goods or services from us, we will send you e-mails with information on similar goods or services. These e-mails will not be sent unless an order is placed with us and are subject to the so-called double-opt-in-procedure. This means that we will not send you the information e-mails until you have confirmed your registration by sending us a confirmation e-mail via the link contained therein. You can request at any time to stop receiving such information e-mails from us. To do this, please send an e-mail with the subject "Unsubscribe" to infonoSpam@lightpower.de or to the contact data given in section “Legal Notice“. Alternatively, you can click on the link at the end of the information e-mail. No costs arise for you other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

We use the so-called double opt-in-procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we will ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we save the IP addresses you use and the dates of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to obtain proof of your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

Your e-mail address is the only required information for sending the newsletter. Further, separately marked data are used to address you personally and are submitted on a voluntary basis. After receiving your confirmation we save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Article 6 section 1 s. 1 lit. a) of the GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and cancel your subscription to the newsletter. You can withdraw your consent by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, (via this form on the website), by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@lightpower.de or by sending a message to the contact data given in the section “Legal Notice“.

You may object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in every e-mail or by informing us through another communication channel. The information is stored for as long as you subscribe to the newsletter. If you unsubscribe, the data we store are strictly statistical and anonymous.

You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter, i.e. revoke your consent to receive it, at any time by clicking on the respective link provided in every newsletter. You can also revoke your consent by sending us a short message. For this purpose, please use the contact data stated above. 

Based on our legitimate interests, we may store the removed e-mail address for up to three years before it is deleted, so that we are able to provide proof of a previously given consent. In this context, the e-mail address is solely stored for the purpose of defence against possible claims.

Newsletter2Go

This website uses Newsletter2Go for the sending of newsletters. The provider is the Newsletter2Go GmbH, Nürnberger Straße 8, 10787 Berlin, Germany.

Newsletter2Go services can, among other things, be used to organize and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter are archived on Newsletter2Go’s servers in Germany.

If you do not want to permit an analysis by Newsletter2Go, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. Moreover, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter right on the website.

Data analysis by Newsletter2Go

Newsletter2Go enables us to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For instance, it allows us to see whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links may have been clicked. This enables us to determine, which links drew an extraordinary number of clicks.

Moreover, we are also able to see whether once the e-mail was opened or a link was clicked, any previously defined actions were taken (conversion rate). This allows us to determine whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Newsletter2Go also enables us to divide the subscribers to our newsletter into various categories (i.e. to “cluster” recipients). For instance, newsletter recipients can be categorized based on age, gender or place of residence. This enables us to tailor our newsletter more effectively to the needs of the respective target groups.

For detailed information on the functions of Newsletter2Go please follow this link: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/newsletter-software/.

Legal basis

The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR).  You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.

Storage period

The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For more details, please consult the Data Protection Regulations of Newsletter2Go at: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/datenschutz-2/.

Execution of a contract data processing agreement

We have executed a contract with Newsletter2Go, in which we require Newsletters2Go to protect our customers’ data and to refrain from sharing such data with third parties.

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content and structure or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). The basis for this is Article 6 section 1 lit. b GDPR which permits the processing of data relating to the conclusion of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you submit a job application to us, we will process your affiliated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal grounds for this are  § 26 GDPR-new according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Article 6 section 1lit. b GDPR (General Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent –  Article 6 section 1 lit. a GDPR.

If the job application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 GDPR-new and Article 6 section 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we should not be able to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, withdraw your application, revoke your consent to the processing of your data or ask us to delete your data, we will store your transferred data, incl. any physically submitted application documents for a maximum of  6 months after the conclusion of the application process (retention period) to enable us to retrace the details of the application process in the event of any discrepancies (Article 6 section 1 lit. f GDPR).

YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO OBJECT TO THIS STORAGE OF YOUR DATA IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS TO DO SO THAT OUTWEIGH OUR INTERESTS.

Once the retention period has expired, the data will be deleted unless there is a statutory retention obligation or any other legal ground that requires continuation of data storage.

Other statutory storage obligations remain unaffected.

III. Our social media appearances

Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.

Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsibility and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage time

The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular, retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Insofar as consent is necessary, the use of the relevant tools or function is based on this consent (e.g. in the case of a recording); consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

In doing so, GoToWebinar collect all data that you provide/enter to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, GoToWebinar process information regarding the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other "contextual information" related to the communication process (meta data).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data that are necessary for providing the online communication.

Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of GoToWebinar. Our options are largely determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
