Privacy Policy
Data protection is of a particularly high priority for
Andreas Trautmann. The use of the Internet pages of
Andreas Trautmann is possible without any indication
of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use
special electronic services via this website, processing
of personal data could become necessary. If the processing
of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory
basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent
from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name,
address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data
subject shall always be in line with the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the
country-specific data protection regulations applicable to
Andreas Trautmann. By means of this data
protection declaration, we would like to inform the
general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the
personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore,
data subjects are informed, by means of this data
protection declaration, of the rights to which they are
entitled.
As the controller, Andreas Trautmann has
implemented numerous technical and organizational measures
to ensure the most complete protection of personal data
processed through this website. However, Internet-based
data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so
absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason,
every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us
via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

4. Collection of general data and information
The website of Andreas Trautmann collects a series
of general data and information when a data subject or
automated system calls up the website. This general data
and information are stored in the server log files.
Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3)
the website from which an accessing system reaches our
website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5)

Andreas Trautmann does not draw any conclusions about
the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to
(1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2)
optimize the content of our website as well as its
advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our
information technology systems and website technology, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the
information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of
a cyber-attack. Therefore, Andreas Trautmann
analyzes anonymously collected data and information
statistically, with the aim of increasing the data
protection and data security of our enterprise, and to
ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal
data we process. The anonymous data of the server log
files are stored separately from all personal data
provided by a data subject.
5. Contact possibility via the website
The website of Andreas Trautmann contains
information that enables a quick electronic contact, as
well as direct communication with us, which also includes
a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail

e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data
transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored.
Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a
data subject to the data controller are stored for the
purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.
There is no transfer of this personal data to third
parties.
6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the
personal data of the data subject only for the period
necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as
this is granted by the European legislator or other
legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller
is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a
storage period prescribed by the European legislator or
another competent legislator expires, the personal data
are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal
requirements.

were collected or otherwise processed.
- The data subject withdraws consent to
which the processing is based according to

point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and
where there is no other legal ground for the
processing.
- The data subject objects to the

he or she may, at any time, contact any employee
of the controller. An employee of Andreas
Trautmann shall promptly ensure that the
erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public
and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase
the personal data, the controller, taking account
of available technology and the cost of
implementation, shall take reasonable steps,
including technical measures, to inform other

contested by the data subject, for a period
enabling the controller to verify the accuracy
of the personal data.
- The processing is unlawful and the data
subject opposes the erasure of the personal
data and requests instead the restriction of
their use instead.
- The controller no longer needs the
personal data for the purposes of the
processing, but they are required by the data
subject for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
- The data subject has objected to
processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the
GDPR pending the verification whether the
legitimate grounds of the controller override
those of the data subject.

provided to a controller, in a structured,
commonly used and machine-readable format. He or
she shall have the right to transmit those data to
another controller without hindrance from the
controller to which the personal data have been
provided, as long as the processing is based on
consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of
the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR,
or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article
6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried
out by automated means, as long as the processing
is not necessary for the performance of a task
carried out in the public interest or in the
exercise of official authority vested in the
controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to

GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to
have personal data transmitted directly from one
controller to another, where technically feasible
and when doing so does not adversely affect the

by the European legislator to object, on grounds
relating to his or her particular situation, at
any time, to processing of personal data
concerning him or her, which is based on point (e)
or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also
applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Andreas Trautmann shall no longer process
the personal data in the event of the objection,
unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate
grounds for the processing which override the
interests, rights and freedoms of the data
subject, or for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
If Andreas Trautmann processes personal
data for direct marketing purposes, the data
subject shall have the right to object at any time
to processing of personal data concerning him or
her for such marketing. This applies to profiling
to the extent that it is related to such direct
marketing. If the data subject objects to
Andreas Trautmann to the processing for direct
marketing purposes, Andreas Trautmann will
no longer process the personal data for these
purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on
grounds relating to his or her particular
situation, to object to processing of personal
data concerning him or her by Andreas
Trautmann for scientific or historical
research purposes, or for statistical purposes
pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the
processing is necessary for the performance of a
task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data
subject may contact any employee of
Andreas Trautmann. In addition, the data
subject is free in the context of the use of
information society services, and notwithstanding
Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to
object by automated means using technical
specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making,
including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted
by the European legislator 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, as long as the decision (1) is
not is necessary for entering into, or the
performance of, a contract between the data
subject and a data controller, or (2) is not
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 not based on the data subject's explicit
consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering
into, or the performance of, a contract between
the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it
is based on the data subject's explicit consent,
Andreas Trautmann 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 contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights
concerning automated individual decision-making,
he or she may, at any time, contact any employee
of Andreas Trautmann.
i) Right to withdraw data protection
consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted
by the European legislator to withdraw his or her
consent to processing of his or her personal data
at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right
to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any
time, contact any employee of Andreas
Trautmann.
7. Data protection for applications and the
application procedures
The data controller shall collect and process the
personal data of applicants for the purpose of the
processing of the application procedure. The processing
may also be carried out electronically. This is the case,
in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding
application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form
on the website to the controller. If the data controller
concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the
submitted data will be stored for the purpose of
processing the employment relationship in compliance with
legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded
with the applicant by the controller, the application
documents shall be automatically erased two months after
notification of the refusal decision, provided that no
other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed
to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation
is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the
General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
8. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for
processing operations for which we obtain consent for a
specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal
data is necessary for the performance of a contract to
which the data subject is party, as is the case, for
example, when processing operations are necessary for the
supply of goods or to provide any other service, the
processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same
applies to such processing operations which are necessary
for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in
the case of inquiries concerning our products or services.
Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the
fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on
Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of
personal data may be necessary to protect the vital
interests of the data subject or of another natural
person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor
were injured in our company and his name, age, health
insurance data 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 Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article
6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing
operations which are not covered by any of the
abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary
for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by
our company or by a third party, except where such
interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental
rights and freedoms of the data subject which require
protection of personal data. Such processing operations
are particularly permissible because they have been
specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He
considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if
the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47
Sentence 2 GDPR).
9. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller
or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on
Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to
carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all
our employees and the shareholders.
10. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of
personal data is the respective statutory retention
period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding
data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer
necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the
initiation of a contract.
11. Provision of personal data as statutory or
contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter
into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide
the personal data; possible consequences of failure to
provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is
partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also
result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on
the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to
conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with
personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us.
The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us
with personal data when our company signs a contract with
him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would
have the consequence that the contract with the data
subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is
provided by the data subject, the data subject must
contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data
subject whether the provision of the personal data is
required by law or contract or is necessary for the
conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation
to provide the personal data and the consequences of
non-provision of the personal data.
12. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic
decision-making or profiling.
