Data protection

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and strictly adhere to the rules of data protection laws (BDSG and DSGVO).

Introduction

HET GmbH, as the operator of the online offer at www.h-e-t.de, is the responsible body for the collection, processing and use of the personal data of the users of the online offer within the meaning of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We take the protection of your privacy and your private data very seriously. We collect, process and use your personal data in accordance with the content of this privacy policy and the applicable German data protection laws, in particular the BDSG and the Telemedia Act (TMG).
With this privacy policy we would like to inform you which personal data we collect, process and use about you.

Personal data

Personal data is individual information about your personal or factual circumstances. This includes all information about your identity, such as your name, e-mail address or postal address. In contrast, information that can not be linked to your identity (such as the number of online users) does not count as personally identifiable information.
You can use our online offer without disclosure of your identity and without providing personal data. However, for some of the services offered, for example if you send us a contact request, personal data will be collected from you. The data are collected, used and used by us only for purposes of the use of www.h-e-t.de, in particular for the processing of your inquiries.

Storage and processing of personal information

Your information will be stored by us on specially protected servers. These are protected by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your data is only possible for a few authorized persons. These are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers. Despite regular checks, full protection against all dangers is not possible. Your personal data is encrypted and transmitted over the Internet. We use TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for data transmission.

Transfer of personal data to third parties

In principle, we only use your personal information to fulfill the services you have requested (for example, when processing your contact request). Insofar as external service providers are used by us as part of the provision of services, their access to the data is also exclusively for the purpose of providing services. Through technical and organizational measures, we ensure compliance with data protection regulations and also commit our external service providers to this.
Furthermore, we do not pass the data on to third parties without your explicit consent, in particular for advertising purposes. A transfer of your personal data takes place only if you have consented to the data transfer or if we are entitled or obliged to do so due to legal provisions and / or official or court orders. This may, in particular, be the provision of information for law enforcement purposes, security or enforcement of intellectual property rights.

Each time you access our online service, we collect the following information about your computer, regardless of your registration:

● Product and version information about the browser type used
● used operating system

● Host name of the accessing computer
● the IP address of your computer
● Time of the server request

In addition, the status and the amount of data transferred are recorded as part of this request. The remaining data is stored for a limited period of time.
We use this data for the operation of the online offer, in particular to detect and eliminate errors, to determine the utilization of the online offer and to make adjustments or improvements.

Links to other websites

Our online offer contains links to other websites. These links are usually marked as such. We have no influence on the extent to which the linked websites comply with the applicable data protection regulations. We therefore recommend that you also inform other websites about the respective privacy statements.

Affected and right to information: What rights do you have in relation to your stored data?

You have a right to information about your stored data and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of the data. The contact person for this is our data protection officer.

How safe is your data with us?

Our site works with professional and above all current security measures of technical and organizational nature, in order to protect your personal data in the best possible way. This is to prevent your data from being manipulated by third parties. Third party access to personal data is therefore not possible. Unfortunately, it can not be 100% guaranteed that your data can not be accessed by unauthorized persons. That is why it is especially important that you send us your confidential documents and inquiries in any case encrypted and electronically signed.
