General information on data processing
Scope of the processing of personal data
As a general rule, we only collect and use the personal data of users of our website to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website, our content and our services.
As a general rule, we only collect and use our users’ personal data with their consent. An exception to this principle applies in cases where the processing of the data is permitted by law or where it is not possible, for practical reasons, to obtain prior consent.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally derived from:
Art. 6 (1) first sentence, point (a) GDPR when obtaining the data subject’s consent..
Art. 6 (1) first sentence, point (b) GDPR in case of processing carried out for the purpose of performing a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also includes processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Art. 6 (1) first sentence, point © GDPR in respect of processing necessary for compliance with a legal obligation..
Art. 6 (1) first sentence, point (d) GDPR where the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 (1) first sentence, point (f) GDPR, where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. In order to base the processing of personal data on a legitimate interest, an assessment is carried out for each relevant process in consultation with the Data Protection Officer, whereby the following three conditions must be met:
1) The controller responsible for processing the personal data or a third party has a legitimate interest in the data processing.
2) The processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interest.
3) The interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, do not override the legitimate interest.
Data erasure and retention period
Users personal data will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Data may be stored for a longer period if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
Use of our website, General information
Description and scope of data processing
Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the user’s computer system. The following information may be collected:
Information about the browser type and version used, the user’s operating system, the user’s internet service provider, the user’s IP address, the date and time of access, websites from which the user’s system accessed our website, and websites accessed by the user’s system via our website.
The data described is stored in our system’s log files. This data is not stored alongside any other personal data relating to the user.
Purpose and legal basis for data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Data is stored in log files to ensure the website functions properly. The data also helps us to optimise the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this context.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR.
The collection of your personal data for the purpose of providing our website and the storage of this data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Users therefore have no right to object.
Duration of Storage
Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Where your data is collected to ensure the website functions properly, it will be deleted once the relevant session has ended.
If your data is stored in log files, it will be deleted within seven days at the latest. It may be stored for longer than this, in which case users’ IP addresses will be deleted or anonymised. It will then no longer be possible to identify the client that made the request.
General information on the use of cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that are stored in, or by, the web browser on the user’s computer system. When you visit a website, a cookie may be stored on your operating system. This contains a distinctive string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when you visit the website again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require the browser to be identifiable even after you have changed pages.
DSA:
The legal basis for the storage of cookies, device identifiers and similar tracking technologies, and for the storage of information on the end user’s device and access to that information, is the European ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with the Telecommunications and Digital Services Data Protection Act (DSA).
Please note that the legal basis for the processing of personal data collected in this context is therefore set out in the GDPR (Article 6(1), first sentence, of the GDPR). The specific legal basis applicable to the processing of personal data in each individual case can be found below, alongside the relevant cookie or the processing activity itself.
The primary legal basis for storing information on the end user’s terminal equipment – and thus, in particular, for storing cookies – is your consent, Section 25(1), first sentence, of the DSA. Consent is given when you visit our website – although, of course, you are not obliged to give it – and may be withdrawn at any time via the cookie settings.
In accordance with Section 25(2)(2) of the DSA, consent is not required if the storage of information on the end-user’s terminal equipment, or access to information already stored on the end-user’s terminal equipment, is absolutely necessary in order for the provider of a telemedia service to be able to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user. You can see from the cookie settings which cookies are classified as strictly necessary (often referred to as ‘technically necessary cookies’), and therefore fall under the exemption provided for in Section 25(2) of the DSA and do not require consent.
GDPR:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data through the use of cookies is set out in Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our website.
Please note that certain functions of our website can only be provided through the use of cookies.
We do not use user data collected via technically necessary cookies to create user profiles.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted from there to our website. As a user, you therefore have control over the use of cookies. You can restrict or disable the transmission of cookies by adjusting the settings in your web browser. You can also delete stored cookies there. Please note that you may no longer be able to use all the features of our website if you disable cookies.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analytical and advertising purposes is Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) of the GDPR, provided that the user has given their consent in this regard.
Your rights/Rights of the data subject
Right to access
You have the right to receive information from us, as the data controller, as to whether and which personal data concerning you we process, as well as further information in accordance with the legal requirements set out in Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR.
You may exercise your right of access by contacting: info@plastomed.de
Right to rectification
You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data in accordance with the relevant legal provisions (Article 18 of the GDPR).
Right to erasure
Where the grounds set out in Article 17 of the GDPR apply, you may request that your personal data be erased without delay.
Please note that the right to erasure does not apply where the processing is necessary for one of the exceptions listed in Article 17(3).
Right to be informed
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Furthermore, you have the right to be informed of these recipients.
Right to data portability
Under the GDPR, you also have the right to receive the personal data relating to you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request that it be transferred to another data controller.
Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. Please note that withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of that consent up until the time of withdrawal.
Right to object
Furthermore, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Article 6(1), first sentence, points (e) or (f) of the GDPR.
Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you retain the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
If you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, where you work or where the alleged infringement took place.
Data transfers outside the EU
The GDPR ensures a uniformly high standard of data protection across the European Union. When selecting our service providers, we therefore prioritise European partners wherever possible where your personal data is to be processed. Only in exceptional cases will we have data processed outside the European Union in connection with the use of third-party services. We will only permit the processing of your data in a third country if the specific conditions set out in Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR are met. This means that the processing of your data may then only take place on the basis of specific safeguards, such as the European Commission’s official recognition that a country offers a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU, or compliance with officially recognised specific contractual obligations, known as the ‘Standard Data Protection Clauses’.
EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework
Under the so-called ‘Data Privacy Framework’ (DPF), the European Commission has also recognised the level of data protection provided by certain US companies as adequate under the adequacy decision of 10 July 2023. The list of certified companies, as well as further information on the DPF, can be found on the US Department of Commerce’s website at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.
Data processing under the Swiss Data Protection Act
In principle, the use of our website is subject to the legal provisions of the GDPR. If you are accessing our website from Switzerland and insofar as the associated data processing also affects you as a Swiss citizen, this privacy policy applies to you in the same way as the GDPR, under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (‘Swiss FADP’ in the version dated 1 September 2023).
The Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA) does not, in principle, require a legal basis to be specified. Accordingly, we process your data from Switzerland only if such processing is lawful, carried out in good faith and proportionate, in accordance with Article 6(1) and (2) of the Swiss DPA. Furthermore, we collect your data only for specific purposes that are recognisable to the data subject and process it only in a manner compatible with those purposes, in accordance with Article 6(3) of the Swiss Data Protection Act.
In this context, please also note that, whilst certain terms are worded differently under the GDPR, they have the same legal meaning as under the Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA). For example, the GDPR terms ‘processing’ of ‘personal data’, ‘legitimate interest’ and ‘special categories of data’ used in this privacy notice correspond to the Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA) terms ‘processing’ of ‘personal data’, ‘overriding interest’ and ‘personal data requiring special protection’.
Similarly, the data subjects’ rights set out here in accordance with Article 12 et seq. of the GDPR may be exercised by data subjects in Switzerland in the same way as the provisions under Article 25 et seq. of the Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA).
Minors under the age of 16
Minors under the age of 16 are expressly not the intended audience of our website or the services offered on this website. We would like to point out that parents or guardians must supervise their children’s online activities. Minors under the age of 16 should not provide us with any personal data without the consent of their parents or guardians. We do not explicitly request any personal data from minors under the age of 16, do not knowingly collect such data, and do not pass it on to third parties.
Electronic Contact
If you wish to contact us, you may do so via the email address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted via the email will be stored.
Your data will not be passed on to third parties in this context; the data will be used exclusively for the purpose of processing your enquiry.
The legal basis for processing the contact enquiry and handling it is generally Article 6(1), first sentence, point (b) of the GDPR.
Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of personal data sent by email, this is the case once the relevant conversation with the user has come to an end. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved.
Social Media
Social Media Presence
We maintain fan pages on various social networks and platforms with the aim of communicating with customers, prospective customers and users active on these platforms and informing them about our services.
Please note that your personal data may be processed outside the European Union, which may entail risks for you (for example, when it comes to exercising your rights under European or German law).
Users’ data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles may be created based on users’ behaviour and the resulting interests. These usage profiles may in turn be used, for example, to display adverts both on and off the platforms that are presumed to correspond to users’ interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users’ computers, in which their usage behaviour and interests are recorded. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (particularly if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users’ personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing users with effective information and communicating with them, in accordance with Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers to consent to data processing (i.e. to give their consent, for example, by ticking a box or clicking a button), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) of the GDPR.
Further information on the processing of your personal data and on your rights to object can be found via the links provided below for the respective providers. Data subjects may also exercise their rights to access and other rights directly with the providers; however, this is only possible with those providers who have direct access to users’ data and hold the relevant information. We are, of course, available to answer any queries and will be happy to assist you should you require help.

Google Maps
On this website, we use Google Maps. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to use the map function conveniently.
When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant page of our website. This occurs regardless of whether you are logged in to a Google user account or do not have a user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to your needs. Such analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to deliver personalised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google directly.
The legal basis for the use of Google Maps is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) of the GDPR.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and the settings available to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
