3. Use of cookies
The web pages of Bäro International Lighting GmbH use cookies (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics). Cookies are data that are stored by the internet browser on the user's computer system. The cookies can be transferred to a page when it is called up and thus enable the user to be assigned. Cookies help to simplify the use of internet pages for users.
It is possible at any time to revoke the setting of cookies by changing the internet browser setting. Cookies can be deleted. Please note that if cookies are deactivated, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
When visiting our website, your surfing behaviour can be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done with cookies and with so-called analysis programmes. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions requested by you are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 letter f DS-GVO. We have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are handled separately in our cookie settings.
When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and his or her consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, reference is also made to this data protection declaration.

The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose a link can be found in every newsletter.
6. Ways of making contact
Bäro International Lighting GmbH can be contacted via the e-mail address provided on the website. If the data subject contacts the data controller via this channel, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. This data is stored solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the person concerned. The data will not be passed onto third parties.
7. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of the data storage. Furthermore, data may be stored insofar as this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject.
As soon as the storage purpose ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted.
8. Rights of the data subject
If your personal data are processed, you are affected within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the data controller:

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transmission.
8.2 Right to correction
You have a right to correction and/or completion by the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you are incorrect or incomplete. The data controller shall make the correction without delay.
8.3 Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you may request that the processing of your personal data be restricted:
a. If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
b. If the processing is unlawful and you do not want your personal data to be deleted and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted;
c. If the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
d. If you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the data controller outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed - apart from being stored - only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the processing restriction has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.
8.4 Right to deletion
8.4.1 You may request the data controller to delete the personal data concerning you immediately, and the data controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
a. The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
b. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. a or Article 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
c. You file an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing or you file an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR.
d. Your personal data have been processed unlawfully.

8.4.2. If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete them pursuant to Article 17 (1) GDPR, he/she shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data processors who process the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.
8.4.3 There is no right to deletion insofar as the processing is necessary
a. To exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
b. For the performance of a legal obligation required for processing under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the data controller is subject or for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the data controller;
c. For reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9 (2) lit. h and i and Article 9 (3) GDPR;
d. For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in (1) is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or
e. To assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
8.5 Right to information
If you have exercised your right to have the data controller correct, delete or restrict the processing, he/she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about such recipients by the controller.
8.6 Right to data transferability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass this data on to another data controller without obstruction by the data controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that
a. Processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Article 9 (2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and
b. Processing is carried out using automated methods.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to transferability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.
8.7 Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The data controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless he/she can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
8.8 Right to revoke the data protection declaration of consent
You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
8.9 Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect vis-à-vis it or significantly affects it in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision
a. Is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller,
b. Is permitted by law of the Union or of the Member States to which the data controller is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, or
c. Is taken with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 (1) DGPR, unless Article 9 (2) lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases mentioned in a. and c., the data controller takes appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the data controller, the right to present your own point of view and to challenge the decision.
8.10 Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
Irrespective of any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you are staying, working or the place of the suspected infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the DGPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint is submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 DGPR.
9. Disclosure of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties.
10. Legal basis for the processing
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) lit. b DGPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) lit. c DGPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) lit. d of the DGPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) lit. f DGPR serves as the legal basis for processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities.
11. Duration of storage of personal data
Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective legal retention period. After expiry of this period, the data will be routinely deleted, unless there is a need to initiate or perform a contract.
Data privacy
We implement technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Article 32 of the DGPR to protect the data which you have provided against accidental or wilful manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are improved on an ongoing basis in accordance with the development of technical standards. Data security-relevant information can only be accessed by a limited number of authorised individuals obligated to special data protection who are involved with the technical, administrative or editorial management of data.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
The legal basis for embedding the YouTube videos is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest results from marketing purposes. Insofar as you consent by clicking on the video, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
