General information and mandatory
information
Data protection
The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your

confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data protection
regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be
collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify
you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as
the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose
the information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e.
through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not
possible to completely protect data against third party access.
Information about the responsible party (referred to as the
“controller” in the GDPR)
The data processing controller on this website is:
Print Finishing Sales & Services GmbH
Hamburger Straße 257
38114 Braunschweig
Germany
The controller is the natural person or legal entity that
single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of
and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail
addresses, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A
wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your
express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already
given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal
notification via e-mail. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of
any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases;
right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
In the event that data are processed on the basis of
Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to
the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique
situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To
determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please
consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no
longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to
present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data,
that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the
processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements
(objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is being processed in order to
engage in direct advertising, you have the right to at any time object to the
processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising.
This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such
direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no
longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21
Sect. 2 GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory
agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a
complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where
they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the
alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect
regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal
recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically
process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed
over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If
you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this
will be done only if it is technically feasible.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content,
such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator,
this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption programme. You can recognise
an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser
switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock
icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be
read by third parties.
Information about, blockage, rectification and eradication
of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to
at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source
and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may
also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you
have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal
data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address provided
in section “Information Required by Law.”
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the
processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at
any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.” The
right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- In
the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by
us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time
that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we
restrict the processing of your personal data.
- If
the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful
manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of
your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
- If
we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise,
defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the
restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its
eradication.
- If
you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights
and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it
has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to
demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal
data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed
only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements
or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for
important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state
of the EU.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction
with the mandatory information to be provided in section “Information Required
by Law” to send us promotional and information material that we have not
expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the
express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of
promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.
