Data protection - Current as of: 01.01.2024
Data Protection Declaration
Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is particularly important to the management of DOYMA GmbH & Co. Use of the Internet pages of DOYMA GmbH & Co is generally possible without the disclosure of any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the 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, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, and in compliance with DOYMA GmbH & Co’s country-specific Privacy Policy. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects will be informed of their rights through this data protection declaration.
DOYMA GmbH & Co, as the data controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive possible protection of personal data processed via this website. Nonetheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that an absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each data subject is free to provide us with personal data via alternative means, for example by telephone.
1. Definition of terms
DOYMA GmbH & Co's data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European guideline and regulatory body when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:
a) personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"). An identifiable person is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular through a reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more specific characteristics which are expressions of the physical, physiological, genetic, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) data subject
The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.
c) processing
Processing is any operation or series of operations involving personal data, whether or not carried out by automated means, such as the collection, organisation, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linkage, restriction, deletion or destruction.
d) restriction of the processing
Restriction of the processing is the marking of stored personal data in order to limit the future processing.
e) profiling
Profiling is any kind of automated processing of personal data which includes the use of this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects of the natural person's work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, place of residence or relocation.
f) pseudonymization
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without further information, provided that such additional information is kept separately, and that technical and organisational measures are implemented to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) data controller or processing data controller
The responsible or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, body or other institution which, alone or in conjunction with others, will decide on the purposes and means of the personal data processing. Where the purposes and means of this processing are prescribed by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the data controller may, or may in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States, stipulate the specific criteria for his designation.
h) external processors
An external processor is a natural or legal person, authority, body or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.
i) recipient
The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, body or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a specific task under Union law or Member State law shall not be considered to be recipients.
j) third parties
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, institution or other body other than the data subject, the data subject, the data processor and those persons who are authorized to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the data controller or the external processor.
k) consent

4. Cookies
The Internet pages of DOYMA GmbH & Co use cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, DOYMA GmbH & Co can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data each time he visits the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
The setting of cookies by our website can be prevented by the data subject at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and thus the setting of cookies objected permanently. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all current Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, however, not all functions of our website may be fully usable under certain circumstances.
4. a) Use of chat software Userlike
On our website we use the live chat of Userlike UG, Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne (hereinafter ‘Userlike’). Userlike uses cookies to enable you to have a personal conversation with us in the form of a real-time chat. Live chat visitors do not have to log in with their name to use the function, but can have an anonymous chat. We use the so-called data protection mode when using Userlike. This means that your IP address is stored in anonymised form in the cookies and is not used to identify you personally. If you disclose personal data about yourself during the anonymous chat, this is done voluntarily. The data collected by Userlike is processed on our behalf and on the basis of an order processing contract. The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the economic operation, functionality and optimisation of our website in the form of a cross-website functioning of the chat function.
DOYMA GmbH & Co uses chat software from the company Userlike UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany.You can use the chat like a contact form to chat with our employees almost in real time.The following personal data is collected when you start the chat:Date and time of the call, browser type/version, IP address, operating system used, URL of the previously visited website, amount of data sent and if provided by the user:First name, surname and email address.Depending on the course of the conversation with our employees, further personal data may be collected in the chat and entered by you.The nature of this data depends largely on your enquiry or the problem you describe to us.The purpose of processing all this data is to provide you with a quick and efficient means of contact and thus improve our customer service. All our employees have been and will continue to be trained in data protection and how to handle customer data securely and confidentially. All of our employees are obliged to maintain confidentiality and have signed an addendum in their employee contracts to commit to confidentiality and data protection.
By accessing the DOYMA GmbH & Co website, the chat widget is loaded in the form of a JavaScript file from AWS Cloudfront. The chat widget technically represents the source code that is executed on your computer and enables the chat. In addition, DOYMA GmbH & Co stores the chat history for a period of five years. The purpose of this is to save you from having to provide extensive explanations about the history of your enquiry and for the continuous quality control of our chat service. Processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. If you do not wish this, you are welcome to inform us using the contact details below. We will then delete saved chats immediately.
The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. Further information can be found in the privacy policy of Userlike UG(haftungsbeschränkt).
4 b) Use of the Userlike chat software in conjunction with the WhatsApp channel, which is connected to the WhatsApp Business platform via the WhatsApp Cloud API, hosted by Meta, through our partner 360dialog.
General background: We use the chat software Userlike on our website and also connect our WhatsApp channel to it. Since 12 April 2024, newly created WhatsApp channels have been connecting to the WhatsApp Business platform via the WhatsApp Cloud API, hosted by Meta, through our partner 360dialog. Existing connections will also be migrated to the ‘Cloud API’ in the course of 2024. We will provide separate information about this. 360dialog will remain the partner forUserlike for managing the connections, but the data will be processed and stored on Meta servers. You can find 360dialog's current privacy policy here: docs.360dialog.com/docs/useful/imprint-and-dataprivacy
Technical background: With the on-premise API, the Userlike partner 360dialog hosts a separate WhatsApp on-premise container that provides the API for each WhatsApp number. With the Cloud API, this complexity is removed and Meta provides the API directly. Switching to the Cloud API brings several benefits, such as higher performance, increased reliability and faster availability of the latest features and fixes. Here you can find more information provided by Meta: developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-vs-onprem
Data protection background: In terms of data protection, there is a change in how and where the data is stored. The data storage of the on-premise solution was hosted by the Userlike partner 360dialog on their servers (AWS, configured for EU region). With the cloud solution, data is stored directly by Meta on cloud servers. Each customer must enter into a direct contractual relationship with Meta. This will be ensured during the sign-up flow for new numbers. For existing customers, the change was initiated on 26 August 2024.
Userlike has configured the Meta cloud servers to be located in the EU (Germany) when you verify your number for the WhatsApp Business API with our service. In addition, Meta Inc. is verified for the EU-US adequacy decision and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so you have an adequate legal basis for possible third country transfers.More information on Meta's privacy approach for the Cloud API can be found here: developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/overview/data-privacy-and-security/ Meta's terms and conditions regarding the Cloud API can be found here: www.facebook.com/legal/Meta-Hosting-Terms-Cloud-API
5. Registration on our websitend Informationen
The website of the DOYMA GmbH & Co collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the DOYMA GmbH & Co does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the DOYMA GmbH & Co analyses 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.
6. Registration on our website
The data subject may register on the website of the data controller and provide the respective personal data. The personal data transferred to the data controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for the own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, such as a parcel service, who may also utilize the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the data controller.
Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the data subject, the date and time of registration are stored when the data subject registers on the data controller's website. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable us to investigate crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of such data is necessary in order to safeguard the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on, or the passing on of this data serves criminal prosecution purposes.
Registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the data controller to offer the data subject content or services which, by their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons may at any time modify the personal data provided during registration, or have it deleted completely from the database of the data controller.
The data controller shall at all times, upon request, inform each data subject of the personal data relating to that data subject. Furthermore, the data controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that there is no legal obligation to store such data in safekeeping. A data protection officer named in this privacy statement and the entire staff of the controller shall be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
7. Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of DOYMA GmbH & Co, users are provided with the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted to the data controller when the newsletter is requested.
The DOYMA GmbH & Co regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company's offers through a newsletter. Our company's newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject has registered to receive the newsletter. As part of the double opt-in procedure and for legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail in will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject, prior to the first newsletter dispatch. This confirmation mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address has authorised the receipt of the newsletter as the data subject.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time, and is therefore used for the legal protection of the data controller for the processing.
The personal data collected during the registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation or registration of the newsletter service, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances. The personal data collected in the context of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the sending of newsletters can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter, with which you are able to revoke your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller in any other way.
8. Newsletter-Tracking
The DOYMA GmbH & Co newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format to allow a logging and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, DOYMA GmbH & Co can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by an data subject, and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the counting pixels in the newsletters will be stored and evaluated by the data controller in order to optimise the sending of the newsletter, and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the data controller. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, DOYMA GmbH & Co will automatically interpret this as a revocation.
9. Contact option via the website
Due to legal regulations, the website of DOYMA GmbH & Co contains information that enables the rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller via e-mail or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data that is voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller, will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
10. Customer order processing
DOYMA GmbH & Co processes necessary customer data as part of order processing. The customer data includes contact data such as the full name / company name, the address / delivery address, telecommunications data such as (fax, fax, mail), data for settling orders with bank details, payment methods, contract data, order data; If necessary, data on creditworthiness and solvency. These data are processed exclusively for the execution and billing of the orders placed by the customers.

The data will be kept for the purpose and according to the legal obligations to document orders or annual accounts. With the cessation of the retention obligation and termination of the contractual relationship, they are deleted. If an affected person contacts the person responsible for processing the sales order by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the person concerned will be automatically saved. Such personal information provided on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the person responsible for processing the sales order will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties. If an affected person contacts the person responsible for processing the sales order by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the person concerned will be automatically saved.

Legal basis for the processing of customer data
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO for processing orders and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-BER to provide information to customers. If a newsletter / advertisement provided by e-mail, telephone, letter or fax, this is done on the basis of a given consent in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GMO IV. Art. 7 UWG.

Web analysis is the collection, aggregation and evaluation of data regarding the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the Internet page from which a data subject has accessed an Internet page (so-called referrer), which sub pages of the Internet page were accessed or how often and for which length of time a sub page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website, and the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of etracker is etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstrasse 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany.
Etracker places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are, has already been explained above. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an etracker component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data processing system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective etracker component to transmit data to etracker for marketing and optimization purposes. Within the scope of this technical procedure, etracker will be informed about data that are subsequently used to create pseudonymous user profiles. The user profiles obtained in this way are used to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who has accessed the website of the data controller and are evaluated with the aim of improving and optimising the website. The data collected via the etracker component will not be used to identify the data subject without first obtaining a separate and explicit consent from the data subject. These data is not combined with personal data or with other data containing the same pseudonym.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already shown above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent etracker from placing a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by etracker can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, it is possible for the data subject to object to the collection of the data generated by the etracker cookie relating to the use of this website, and to etracker's processing of this data and to prevent it from doing so. For this purpose, the data subject must press the cookie-set button under www.etracker.de/privacy which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection, is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If cookies are deleted on the data subject's system after an objection has been raised, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.
However, by setting the opt-out cookie, it is possible that the data controller's Internet pages may no longer be fully available to the data subject.
The applicable Privacy Policy of etracker can be accessed under www.etracker.com/de/datenschutz.html.
15. Privacy Policy for the utilization and use of Facebook and Instagram
The data controller has integrated Facebook components into this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and link up with friendship requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, is the data controller for the processing of personal data if a data subject lives outside the United States or Canada.
Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website which is operated by the data controller, on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) is integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a version of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook.

This information is collected by the Facebook component, and associated with the data subject's Facebook account. If the data subject uses one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, such as the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook will assign this information to the person's personal Facebook account and store this person's personal data.
Facebook will always receive information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged on to Facebook at the same time when he or she accesses our website, regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not intended by the data subject, he or she can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which can be found at en.facebook.com/about/privacy/ provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook.

Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transfer to Facebook.
16. Privacy Policy for the utilization and use of Getty Images pictures and other image agencies
The data controller has integrated components of Getty Images on this website. Getty Images is an American picture agency. An image agency is a company that offers images, and other image material on the market. Picture agencies usually market photographs, illustrations and film material. Via an image agency, different customers, in particular website operators, editorial offices of print and TV media and advertising agencies license the images they use.
The operating company of the Getty Images components is Getty Images International, 1st Floor, The Herbert Building, The Park, Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland.
Getty Images allows you to embed stock images (possibly free of charge). Embedding is the inclusion or integration of a certain third-party content, such as text, video or image data, which is provided by a third-party Internet site which then appears on one's own Internet site. A so-called embedding code is used for the embedding. An embedding code is an HTML code that is integrated into a website by a website operator. If an embedding code has been integrated by a website operator, the external contents of the other website are displayed immediately by default as soon as a website is visited. The external content is loaded directly from the other website to display the external content. Getty Images provides further information about embedding content under the link www.gettyimages.de/resources/embed.
Through the technical implementation of the embedding code, which enables the image display of Getty images, the IP address of the Internet connection through which the data subject accesses our website is transmitted to Getty Images. Getty Images also records our website, the type of browser we use, the language used, the time and length of access. In addition, Getty Images may collect navigation information, which is information about which of our subpages was visited by the data subject and which links were clicked on, as well as other interactions that the data subject performed while visiting our website. This data can be stored and evaluated by Getty Images.
Further information and the Getty Images current privacy policy can be found at http://www.gettyimages.de/enterprise/privacy-policy. In addition, we use images from shutterstockshutterstock_1115081195.jpg/shutterstock_1488283343 shutterstock_1300556659, shutterstock_566194201, shutterstock_566194201, shutterstock_1894477726 shutterstock_1807325047 shutterstock_1668008443, shutterstock_1377839093, shutterstock_1155779743.jpg, shutterstock_354850829.jpg.

17. Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, aggregation and evaluation of data regarding the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the Internet page from which a data subject has accessed an Internet page (so-called referrer), which sub pages of the Internet page were accessed or how often and for which length of time a sub page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website, and the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The Google Analytics component is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For web analysis via Google Analytics, the data controller uses the addition "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject will be shortened and made anonymous by Google if access to our Internet pages is made from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google makes it possible to analyse the use of our website. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data processing system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google receives information about personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of the visitors, clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the place from which access was carried out, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Whenever you visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already shown above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, it is possible for the data subject to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as to the processing of such data by Google and to prevent such a collection. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is to be assigned to their area of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable Privacy Policy of Google can be accessed under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under the link www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
18. Privacy Policy for the utilization and use of Google-AdWords
The data controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google's search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enable advertisers to predefine specific keywords that allow advertisers to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm, and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.
Google AdWords is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third parties, and in the search engine results of the search engine Google, and by inserting third-party advertising on our website.
If an data subject enters our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject's information technology system by Google. What cookies are, has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie will be used to trace whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject has generated a turnover through an AdWords ad, i.e. whether a purchase of goods has been completed or cancelled.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users that have been referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Whenever you visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already shown above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, there is the option for the data subject to object to the interest-related advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers he or she uses, and then make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable Privacy Policy of Google can be accessed under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

DOYMA GmbH & Co uses chat software from the company <a href="http://www.userlike.com/">Userlike</a> UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany. You can use the chat like a contact form to chat almost in real time with our staff. When starting the chat, the following personal data is collected:
Date and time of the call,
browser type/version,
IP address,
operating system used,
URL of the previously visited website,
Menge der gesendeten Daten.
And if specified: First name, last name, and e-mail address.
Depending on the course of the conversation with our employees, further personal data may arise in the chat, which is entered by you. The nature of this data depends largely on your request or the problem you describe to us. The purpose of processing all of this data is to provide you with a quick and efficient way to contact us and thus improve our customer service.
All our employees have been and will be trained on the subject of data protection and taught how to handle customer data safely and confidentially. All our employees are bound to confidentiality and have accordingly signed an addendum in their employee contracts to the obligation to maintain confidentiality and to observe data protection.
By going to www.doyma.de, the chat widget is loaded in the form of a JavaScript file from AWS Cloudfront. The chat widget technically represents the source code that runs on your computer and enables the chat.
In addition, DOYMA GmbH & Co stores the history of the chats. This serves the purpose of possibly sparing you extensive explanations about the history of your request as well as for the constant quality control of our chat offer. The processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO. If you do not wish this, you are welcome to inform us of this using the contact details listed below. Stored chats will then be deleted by us immediately.
The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why the processing is permitted under Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.
For more information, please refer to the <a href="http://www.userlike.com/terms#privacy-policy">Privacy Policy of Userlike</a> UG (haftungsbeschränkt).
27. Legal foundation of the processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal foundation for processing operations during which we obtain the 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 a party, as is the case, for example, during processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. b of the GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation through which a processing of personal data is required, such as the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order 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 company would become injured, and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be founded on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations shall be based on this legal foundation if they are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal foundations, and if the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not predominate. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he was under the impression that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
28. Legitimate interests regarding the processing pursued by data controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
29. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After expiry of this period, the relevant data will be deleted as a matter of routine, provided that it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
30. Legal or contractual provisions governing the provision of personal data necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-delivery
We will inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). For a contract conclusion, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him/her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject cannot be concluded. Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is prescribed by law or contract, or whether it is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, or whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences would be if the personal data was not made available.
31. Passing an automated decision making process
As a responsible company, we refrain from the automatic decision-making or profiling.
32. Data protection declaration supplement Online survey tool on the easy-feedback.de platform (easyfeedback GmbH, Ernst-Abbe-Straße 4, 56070 Koblenz)

33. Privacy Statement Supplement for our Social Media Sites
In the following, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in accordance with Art. 13 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doymagmbhco

–Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doyma_de/
You can find our contact details in our Imprint.
Beside us there is also the operator of the social media platform itself. In this respect, he is also another responsible person who carries out data processing, but over which we have only limited influence. At the points where we can exert influence and parameterise data processing, we work within the framework of the possibilities available to us towards data protection-compliant handling by the operator of the social media platform. In many places, however, we cannot influence the data processing by the operator of the social media platform and do not know exactly which data it processes.
Data processing by us
The data you enter on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, pictures, likes, public messages, etc., are published by the social media platform and are never used or processed by us for other purposes. We only reserve the right to delete content if this should be necessary. We may share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. The respective legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Data processing is carried out in the interest of our public relations and communication activities.
We use the provider Hootsuite to load various pages across platforms with a portal with content and for analysis and tracking purposes. We use the portal for our appearances on, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google My Business. Hootsuite primarily processes data from social media contributions that the person responsible for the processing writes. Since the content on social media is user-generated, it can contain personal data at any time if users of social media decide to pass this information on (e.g. when sharing or liking posts). Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Hootsuite can be found here: https://hootsuite.com/de/legal/privacy and here: https://hootsuite.com/de/legal/general-data-protection-regulation.
If you wish to object to a specific data processing on which we have an influence, please contact the contact data stated in the imprint. We will then check your objection then.
If you submit an inquiry to us on the social media platform, we may also refer you to other secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the required response. You always have the possibility to send us confidential inquiries to our address given in the imprint.
As already mentioned, at those points where the provider of the social media platform gives us the opportunity, we make sure that our social media pages conform as closely as possible to data protection requirements. In particular, we therefore do not use the demographic, interest-based, behavior-based or location-based target group definitions for advertising that the operator of the social media platform may make available to us. Overall, we do not use the social media platform for advertising purposes. With regard to statistics that the provider of the social media platform provides us with, we can only influence these to a limited extent and cannot switch them off. However, we make sure that no additional optional statistics are made available to us.
Data processing by the operator of the social media platform
The operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking can also be performed regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. As already mentioned we can hardly influence the webtracking methods of the social media platform. For example, we can't turn this off.
Please be aware of this: It cannot be excluded that the provider of the social media platform may use your profile and behavior data, for example to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. We therefore have no influence on the processing of your data by the provider of the social media platform.
You can find more detailed information on data processing by the provider of the social media platform and other possible objections in the provider's data protection declaration:

Your rights as a user
When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you as a website user certain rights:
1.) Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR):
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data relating to you are being processed. If this is the case, you have the right to access this personal data and the information specified in Art. 15 GDPR.

They have the right to request the rectification without delay of incorrect personal data concerning them and, where appropriate, the completion of incomplete personal data.
They also have the right to demand that personal data relating to them be deleted immediately if one of the reasons specified in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data are no longer required for the purposes pursued.
3.) Right to limitation of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):
You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g. if you have lodged an objection against the processing for the duration of any examination.
4.) Right to data transferability (Art. 20 GDPR):
In certain cases, which are listed in detail in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.

If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (data processing to safeguard legitimate interests), you have the right to object to such processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are verifiable compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
You have the right, acc. to Art. 77 GDPR, to complain to a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of the data concerning you violates data protection provisions. The right of appeal may, in particular, be exercised before a supervisory authority in the Member State in which you are staying, at your place of work or at the place where the alleged infringement was committed.
