Data Protection Declaration
We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is regarded especially highly by the company management of HEISO GmbH. Use of the website of HEISO GmbH is always possible without providing personal data. However, if an affected person wishes to make use of certain 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 the consent of the affected person.
The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, email address or telephone number of an affected person, always take place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations and in compliance with the state-specific data protection regulations applicable to HEISO GmbH. Through this data protection declaration our company wishes to inform the public of the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. In addition, through this data protection declaration, we explain to affected persons the rights they have.
HEISO GmbH is responsible as controller for the deployment of numerous techniques and organisational measures for ensuring the most seamless protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transfers can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Because of this, every affected person is free to transmit personal data to us by other means, for example by telephone.

HEISO GmbH’s website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to a concrete internet browser in which the cookie is saved. This allows the visited websites and servers, to differentiate the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers, which contain other cookies. A specified internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Using cookies, HEISO GmbH can make available to the users of this website user-friendly services, which would not be possible without the use of cookies.
Through a cookie, information and offers on our website can be optimised for the users. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to simplify the use of our website for the users. The users of a website that uses cookies do not, for example, have to re-enter their access data at every visit to the website, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie saved on the user’s computer system. An additional example is the cookie of a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop memorises the article which the customer has placed in the shopping basket via a cookie.
The person concerned can prevent the placing of cookies at any time through our website via the relevant settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently veto the placing of cookies. Furthermore, already placed cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or another software programme. This is possible in all common browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the placing of cookies in the internet browser used, potentially not all functions of our website will be completely usable.
- The Collection of General Data and Information
HEISO GmbH’s website collects a series of general data and information every time the website is accessed by the person concerned or an automated system. These general data and information are saved in the log files of the server. Collected could be (1) the browser type and version used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system arrived at our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-website from which a system accessing our website is controlled, (5) the date and time of accessing the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information, which serve to protect against danger in the event of attacks on our information technological systems.
In using these general data and information, HEISO GmbH cannot draw conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for this, (3) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technological systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to prepare the information required for prosecution for the criminal prosecution authorities in the event of a cyber-attack. These anonymously collected data and information are thus statistically evaluated by HEISO GmbH, with the goal of increasing data protection and data security in our company and, ultimately, of ensuring optimal processing by us of personal data. The anonymous data of the server log files are saved separate from all personal data given by the affected person.
- Registering on Our Website
The affected person can register on the website of the person responsible for processing, providing details of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the person responsible for processing arises from the relevant entry mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the affected person are collected and saved for the exclusive internal use by the person responsible for processing and for their own purpose. The person responsible for processing can arrange for the forwarding of one or more data processors, for example a package service provider, which also exclusively uses the personal data for an internal use which is attributed to the person responsible for processing.
In addition, through registration on the website of the person responsible for processing the internet-service-provider (ISP) of the IP address, the date and time of the registration assigned by the affected person are saved. Saving these data takes place against the background that only in this way that a misuse of our service can be avoided, and these data enable the clearing up of a crime committed if required. In this respect, the saving of these data is required for the person responsible for processing. Sharing these data to a third party never takes place unless there is a statutory duty for sharing or sharing serves a criminal prosecution.
The registration of the affected person, voluntarily providing personal data, enables the person responsible for processing to offer the affected person content or services that can be offered only to registered users due to the nature of the item. Registered persons can amend personal data provided at registration at any time or to have the data fully deleted from the database of the person responsible for processing.
The person responsible for processing issues to every affected person at any time upon request information about which personal data on the affected person are saved. In addition, at the wish or indication of the affected person, the person responsible for processing corrects or deletes personal data, unless no statutory storage period contradicts this. In this connection, all the employees of the person responsible for processing are available to the affected person as a contact person.

- Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with an anonymising function)
The person responsible for processing has integrated the components Google Analytics (with an anonymising function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection, and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors of websites. A web analysis service gathers data, amongst others, on from which website an affected person has arrived at a website (so-called referrer), on which sub-pages of the website are accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly deployed to optimise a website and to perform a cost-use analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of Google Analytics components is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The person responsible for processing uses the web analysis via Google Analytics the ad-on “_gat._anonymizeIp”. Through this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the affected person is abbreviated and anonymised by Google, if the access to our website takes place from a member state of the European Union or another treaty state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics components is the analysis of the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information gathered, amongst others, to evaluate the activities on our website, to compile online reports which display the activities of our website for us and to render further services in connection with the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the IT system of the affected person. What cookies are has already been explained in the above. With the placing of the cookie, Google is enabled to carry out an analysis of the usage of our website. By every access of the individual web pages of this website, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and into which Google Analytics components have been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the affected person is automatically occasioned by the relevant Google Analytics components to transmit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google. As a part of this technical process, Google receives information about personal data, such as the IP address of the affected person, which, amongst others, serve to enable Google to trace the origins of the visitor and clicks and, as a result, commission statements.
Through the cookies, personal information, for example, the access time, the location from which the access emanates and the frequency of visits to our website by the affected person, is saved. At each visit to our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection of the affected person, are transferred to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are saved by Google in the United States of America. In certain circumstances, Google shares the personal data gathered via the technological process with third parties.
The affected person can prevent the placing of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time through the corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently veto placing cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used will also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the IT system of the affected person. Furthermore, a cookie already placed by Google Analytics can always be deleted via the internet browser or another software programme.
In addition, the affected person can veto the creation of a record of the data use pertaining to the use of this website by Google Analytics and the processing of these data by Google and to prevent such. For this, the affected person must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on the visitor to the website may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation the browser add-on will be regarded by Google as an objection. If the IT system of the affected person is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled later, the installation of the browser add-on must be performed again by the affected person in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is to be uninstalled or deactivated by the affected person or another person to whom their sphere of influence, there is an opportunity for reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be retrieved from https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html Google Analytics is explained in greater detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de / analytics /.
- Legal Basis of the Processing
Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves our company as the legal basis for the processing of personal data for which we obtain consent for certain purposes of processing. If the processing of personal data for fulfilling a contract, of which the affected person is a contractual party,, is required, which, for example, is the case in the processing procedures, which are necessary for the supply of goods or rendering another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I let. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing procedures which are required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, perhaps in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation through which the processing of personal data is necessary, such as, for example, for meeting tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I let. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data can be necessary to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our operation were injured and thereupon his name, age, illness data or other vital information must be shared with a doctor, a hospital or another third party. Then the processing will be based on Art. 6 I let. d GDPR. Finally, processing procedures can be based on Art. 6 I let. f GDPR. The processing procedure based on these legal grounds not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds if the processing is required to safeguard a justified interest of our company or of a third party, unless the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the affected person outweigh this. Such processing procedures are especially authorised for us as they were specially granted by the European legislators. In this respect it represents the view that a justified interest can be accepted if the affected person is a customer of the responsible person (Grounds for consideration 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
- Justified Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Person Responsible for Processing or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I let. f GDPR, our justifiable interest is the performance of our business activities to benefit the welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.
- Period for which the Personal Data will be Saved
The criterion for the period of saving of personal data is the relevant statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the relevant data are regularly deleted, unless they are needed for fulfilling a contract or initiating a contract.
- Statutory or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for Concluding a Contract; the Obligation of the Affected Person to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Not Making them Available
We inform you that the providing of personal data can in part be legally prescribed (e.g., taxation provisions) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, it can be necessary for concluding a contract that an affected person makes personal data available to us which must consequently be processed by us. For example, the affected person is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company has concluded a contract with them. The non-provision of the personal data can lead to not being able to conclude the contract with the affected person. Before providing personal data by the affected person, the affected person must contact our employees. Our employee will explain to the affected person on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually prescribed or required for concluding the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what would be the consequences of not providing the personal data.
- Existence of Automated Decision Making
As a conscientious company, we do not use automatic decision making or profiling.
