2. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect, what we use it for, and how and for what purpose it is processed.

Please note that data transmitted via the internet, for example in email communication, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the data controller

The data controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

LECTOR GmbH
Bleichstraße 27
66111 Saarbrücken

Phone: 0681 92565-0
Email: sekretariat@lector-gmbh.de

The data controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names or email addresses.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent authority for data protection matters is the data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company has its registered office. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details is available at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, or to have it transferred to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock symbol appears in your browser.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking and deletion

Within the framework of applicable law, you have the right at any time and free of charge to receive information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing. Where applicable, you also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the Legal Notice if you have questions about this or any other matter relating to personal data.

4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are session cookies. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and automatically delete cookies when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies required for electronic communications or to provide functions you have requested, such as a shopping basket, are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies, for example cookies that analyse your browsing behaviour, are stored, they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

• browser type and version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• host name of the accessing computer
• time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us an enquiry through the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including your contact details, will be stored so that we can process your enquiry and respond to any follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.
