Privacy Policy

Subject Matter and Scope

We at Organic Services GmbH (‘Organic Services’, ‘we’, ‘us’) attach great importance to the protection of your personal data. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal regulations, in particular the German Data Protection Regulation (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz BDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Here we explain which data we collect via this website (www.check-organic.com) and how we handle it. If you do not agree to this statement and, e.g., restrict the use of cookies, certain functions on our website cannot be used in full.

We would like to inform you that our website contains links to other websites and social media sites. If you leave our website via one of these links, please note that you are also leaving the scope of this data protection declaration. Your visit to third-party websites and social media sites is subject to their own data protection guidelines, which are outside our area of responsibility.

Please note that we do not take any responsibility or liability for websites of third parties and their contents.

Collection and Use of Personal Data

We respect your privacy! For this reason, no personal data is collected or processed via this website by default. Personal data is information about data subjects (natural persons) whose identity is determined or at least determinable (e.g. name, e-mail address or IP address). This does not apply to data that you voluntarily provide to us via forms on our website, e-mail, telephone, or other communication channels (e.g. SMS, messenger services, fax, etc.). We store and process this data voluntarily transmitted by you exclusively for the fulfilment of the purpose of your inquiry as well as for the case of follow-up questions.

We do our utmost to make your visit and use of our website as safe as possible. We therefore comply with the provisions of Article 32 GDPR in order to guarantee the confidentiality and security of your personal data and take appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

We will not pass on your personal data collected on the basis of your use of the website to third parties, unless it is necessary to fulfil our obligations or if it is legally/officially binding.

However, your personal data will also be processed on our behalf by our service providers (contract processors). These contractors are in particular providers of marketing tools, IT service providers, providers of other tools and software solutions, IT maintenance services and other providers of similar services. All our contractors process your data only on our behalf and on the basis of our instructions for the purposes described in each case.

Contacting Us

If you contact us by form on this website, by e-mail, telephone, or any other communication channel (e.g. SMS, messenger services, etc.), your personal and other data provided will be stored and processed for the purpose of processing your inquiry and follow-up questions. In addition, you will receive our newsletter. Further information on the contact and demo forms on this website can be found in the Declaration of Consent—Contact and Newsletter.

Usage Statistics

Data which we collect within the framework of usage statistics of this website are stored and processed exclusively anonymized/pseudonymized. For more information on usage statistics, please see the Web Analysis section.

Data Storage and Retention Periods

We only store your personal data for as long as we need it to fulfil the respective purposes and our contractual or legal obligations. When we no longer need your personal data, we delete it from our systems and records, or make it anonymous so that you can no longer be identified.

Anonymized/pseudonymized usage data that we collect as part of the web analysis of this website is retained for 26 months. For more information, please see the Web Analysis section.

Cookies

Use of Cookies on This Website

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device using the web browser. They’re not doing any damage.

We use cookies to make our website user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit us. This enables our website to “remember” whether or not you have confirmed the cookie information banner displayed by us with OK. Once you have confirmed it, it will not be displayed again.

If you do not wish cookies to be used, you can set your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Managing and Deleting Cookies

If you wish to block or delete cookies, you can make these changes in your browser settings. The procedures for managing and deleting cookies vary from browser to browser. To find out how you can manage cookies in a particular browser, please use the help function integrated in the browser. Alternatively, you can also search for instructions on the www.allaboutcookies.org website. It explains step by step how to manage and delete cookies in most popular browsers.

Web Analysis

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Cookies are used for this purpose, which enable an analysis of the use of the website by its users. The information generated in this way is transferred to the provider’s server and stored there. You can prevent this by setting your browser so that no cookies are stored. Please see the Cookies section for more information.

We have concluded a corresponding data processing contract with the provider.

Your IP address is recorded, but pseudonymized immediately by deleting the last 8 bits. This means that only a rough localization is possible and that we have no access to your full IP address.

The relationship with the web analytics provider is based on GDPR. Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 Paragraph 3 TKG and Art 6 Paragraph 1 lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. Our concern in the sense of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized. User data will be kept for a period of 26 months.

Your Rights

You have a right to information about the personal data we process about you. In addition, you have the right to have incorrect data corrected and your data deleted (“right to be forgotten”). You may also revoke your consent to the processing of personal data with future effect if the processing is based on your consent. You may also have a right to restrict the processing of your data and to have the data you provide disclosed in a structured, common, and machine-readable format (“data transferability”).

You may also complain to a data protection authority. The data protection authority responsible for us is the German Data Protection Authority.
