We are very pleased with your interest in our company. Data protection is of great importance to the management of Alfa Protect GmbH. Use of the Alfa Protect GmbH web page is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use our company's special services through our website, personal data processing may be required.

Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerability, so that absolute protection can not be guaranteed.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her; unless the decision (1) is necessary for execution, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller; or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is required for the execution or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) it is done with the explicit consent of the data subject, Alfa Protect GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, they may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

7. Legal basis of processing

Point (a) Article 6 Paragraph 1 of the GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or service in return, processing shall be based on point (b) Article 6 Paragraph 1 of GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of the pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of questions about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the performance of tax obligations, the processing is based on point (c) Article 6 Paragraph of GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor of our premises was injured and his or her name, age, health insurance information or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on point (d) Article 6 Paragraph 1 of GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on point (f) Article 6 Paragraph 1of GDPR. Processing operations based on this legal basis, that are not covered by any of the above legal bases, if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it considered that a legitimate interest could exist if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence, EU GDPR).

8. Legitimate interests in the processing that are pursued by the controller or by a third party

The processing of personal data based on point (f) Article 6 Paragraph 1 of GDPR is our legitimate interest in conducting our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.

9. Duration of the storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is based on the respective legal retention period. After this period has expired, the respective data will be routinely deleted provided they are no longer required to execute or initiate a contract.

10. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity-requirements for the execution of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We clarify that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such Information about the contracting party). Sometimes it may be necessary for execution of a contract that data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal data when our company executes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the execution of the contract with the person concerned would not possible. To provide any personal data, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the individual on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or required for the execution of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what would result from the failure to provide the personal data.

11. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
