General information

Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of LECTURA GmbH.

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 LECTURA GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise 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.

Personal data (usually referred to just as “data” below) will only be processed by us to the necessary extent and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website only, including its contents and the services offered within.

According to Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”), “processing” refers to any operation or set of operations such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not.

The following privacy policy is intended to inform you according to our legal duties in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction with others. We also inform you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our website and improve the user experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control.

As the controller, LECTURA GmbH 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 may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

The party responsible for this website (the “controller”) for purposes of data protection law is:

LECTURA GmbH Verlag + Marketing Service
Ritter-von-Schuh-Platz 3
90459 Nürnberg
Germany

Telephone: +49 (0)911 43 08 99-0

Rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • of confirmation, whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (acc. to Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (acc. to Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to immediate deletion of data concerning them (acc. to Art. 17 GDPR), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Section 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing in compliance with Art. 18 GDPR;
  • to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (acc. to Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (acc. to Art. 77 GDPR).

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 section 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible to anyone or involves an unproportioned effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.

Furthermore, users and data subjects have the right according to Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Section 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

Information concerning data processing

It is granted, that the data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.

1. General data and information

The website of LECTURA GmbH 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) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the LECTURA GmbH 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, LECTURA GmbH 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. The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any other of your data.

The legal basis for this storage is Art. 6 Section 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.

2. Cookies

LECTURA GmbH uses cookies on its websites. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address.  

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Section 1 lit. b) GDPR, provided as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Section 1 lit. f) GDPR.

e. Analytics

Our the service „LECTURA Analytics“ (hereinafter „Analytics“)provides users with the possibility to have the value of machinery determined and market information upon request.

Registration:
In order to use this service, previous registration of a user leading to an active account is required. For this purpose, personal data will be collected, transmitted to and stored by LECTURA, this data specifically being e-mail address, name, country as well as specific use-case (buying/selling machinery etc.) of the user in question.

The collection of such data serves pre-contractual purposes, as well as initiation and processing of the contract; its legal basis is therefore Article 6 (1) 1 lit. b) GDPR. This data will only be transmitted to and stored by LECTURA, transmission to third parties will only occur in cases to which you have previously explicitly consented.

In so far as you have consented to receiving additional informatory e-mails on LECTURA products and services during the registration process, the data stored during that process will additionally be processed for the purpose of the preparation and sending of those informatory e-mails. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Consent to storage and processing of this data can be withdrawn at any time by deleting the user account in question, upon which we will immediately delete the above-mentioned data, in so far as the below paragraph “Legal duties of storage” does not provide an exception to this. Your consent to receiving the above-mentioned informatory e-mails can be withdrawn as well, however, this will — in case you do not delete your user account at the same time — not lead to the deletion of the personal data in question.

Requests:
During valuation requests, the necessary basic data (type / make / model / year of manufacture etc.) as well as the registered users’ account data will be collected and transmitted to LECTURA. The individual inquiries and data collected are determined by the respective query form.

The data you provide will then be used for the purpose of processing your request. The legal basis for this is Art.6 (1) 1 lit.b) GDPR. The data in question will exclusively be transmitted to and stored by LECTURA, transmission to third parties will only occur in cases to which you have previously explicitly consented.

To prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data, in particular financial data, the ordering process is encrypted using SSL technology.

Purchase of credits:
Purchase of credits will be processed via shop.lectura.de where paragraph no. 15 of LECTURA Privacy Policy applies.

In order to execute and pay for requests through Analytics, LECTURA employs an internal credit system. During the purchase of the necessary credits, data regarding the purchase as well as users’ necessary payment data (account holder, account number, bank) will be collected.

This serves pre-contractual purposes as well as the purpose of processing the contract, the basis of this is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit.b) GDPR. This data as well will be transmitted to and stored by LECTURA exclusively. However, note that we are allowed to provide your banking data to our bank, in so far as this is necessary to process payment, on the same legal basis.

To prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data, in particular financial data, the ordering process is encrypted using SSL technology.

Legal duties of storage:
Due to commercial and tax regulations, we are obliged to save your address, payment and request data for a period of ten years. However, after two years we are restricting processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

18. Concluding remarks

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.

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.

We would expressly like to point out again that you can revoke any consent given at any time with effect for the future. You can do this via the following channels: electronically via an unsubscribe link in the respective newsletter/mailing, by e-mail to: [email protected] or by post to: LECTURA GmbH, Ritter-von-Schuh-Platz 3, 90459 Nürnberg.
