We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Tomac-Media. Use of the Tomac-Media website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services provided by our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Tomac-Media. Through this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or person responsible for processing

The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

k) Consent

The hermsen_GT40 website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that websites and servers can use to assign to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers 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 via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, Tomac-Media can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of 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 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 enter their access data every time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart using a cookie. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. 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 common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The Tomac-Media website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's 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 accessed via an accessing system on our website, (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 that serve to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, Tomac-Media does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (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 cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Tomac-Media both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Due to legal regulations, the Tomac-Media website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose, or as far as this is provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or other competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

a) Right to confirmation. Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

b) Right to information. Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data concerning him or her stored at any time, including a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to access the following information:

the purposes of the processing the categories of personal data being processed the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations where possible, the planned period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period the existence of a right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of the personal data concerning them or to object to such processing the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information as to their source the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject Furthermore, the data subject has the right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards associated with the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of information, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right to rectification Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten) Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to erase personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and processing is not necessary: ​​The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary. The data subject withdraws his or her consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR. The personal data were processed unlawfully. The erasure of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR. If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject requests the erasure of personal data stored by Tomac-Media. If you wish to request that personal data be deleted, you may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The Tomac-Media employee will ensure that the deletion request is complied with immediately. If the personal data was made public by Tomac-Media and our company as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to delete the personal data, Tomac-Media shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. The Tomac-Media employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing Any data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: The accuracy of the personal data is 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 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 to assert, exercise or defend 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. If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Tomac-Media, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The Tomac-Media employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, provided that 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, unless the processing is 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 their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert their right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of Tomac-Media at any time.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling. Every 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, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorized 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 the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Tomac-Media shall take appropriate measures, to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including 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 rights with regard to automated decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law. Any data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw their consent, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company's processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. For example, in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment 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 to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and subsequently provided his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override them. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the European legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

10. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
