This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the provider only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Our site can be visited without actively providing personal information. However, we automatically store access data (server log files) with each visit to the website, such as the name of the internet service provider, the operating system used, the website from which the user visits us, the date and duration of the visit, or the name of the requested file, as well as the IP address of the used device for 7 days for security reasons, e.g., to detect attacks on our website. This data is evaluated exclusively to improve our offer and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the user’s identity. These data are not merged with other data sources.

To make our website more attractive and enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on our website. The use of cookies serves our legitimate interest in making the visit to our website as pleasant as possible and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Cookies are a standard internet technology for storing and retrieving login and other usage information for all website users. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user’s device. They allow us to save user settings, among other things, so that our website can be displayed in a format tailored to the user’s device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the browser session ends, i.e., after closing the browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on the user’s device and allow us or our partner companies to recognize the browser on the next visit (so-called persistent cookies).
The browser can be set to inform the user about the setting of cookies and to decide individually about their acceptance or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Furthermore, cookies can be deleted retrospectively to remove data that the website has stored on the user’s computer. Disabling cookies (so-called opt-out) may lead to some restrictions in the functionality of our website.
To analyze visitor traffic on our online offering, we use tools for web analysis and reach measurement. For this purpose, we collect information about the behavior, interests, or demographic information of our visitors, such as age, gender, etc. This helps us to identify when our online offering, its features, or content are most frequented or invite repeated visits. Additionally, we can determine whether our online offering needs optimization or adjustment based on the collected information.
The information collected for this purpose is stored in cookies or similar methods and used for reach measurement and optimization. The data stored in cookies may include viewed content, visited online presences, settings, and used functions and systems. Regularly, no clear user data is processed for the described purposes. In this case, the data is altered so that the actual identity of the users is not known to us or the provider of the used tool. The altered data is often stored in user profiles.

We can determine the success of our advertisements based on aggregated data made available to us by the provider of the online marketing method (so-called conversion measurement).

This evaluation serves to analyze the success of our online marketing.

Cookies are regularly stored on the users’ devices for this purpose, sometimes regardless of whether they are registered users of the social network.

Our online offering incorporates functions and content sourced from third-party providers. These can include videos, presentations, buttons, or posts (hereinafter referred to as content).

We transfer data to countries outside the EEA (so-called third countries). This occurs for the above-mentioned purposes. The transfer only takes place to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or based on prior consent from the affected person.
In cases where we transfer data to a country outside the EEA for processing, we ensure that the processing is legally permissible in the manner we intend. For this purpose, we have concluded standard data protection clauses, including specific regulations for appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the data of the affected persons as best as possible. A copy of the guarantees used can be accessed here.
We generally store the data of visitors to our online offering for as long as necessary to provide our services or as stipulated by the European Directives and Regulations or other legislation to which we are subject. In all other cases, we delete personal data after the purpose has been fulfilled, except for data that we must continue to store to fulfill legal obligations (e.g., due to tax and commercial retention periods, we are required to keep documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period).
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling as defined by Art. 22 GDPR.
The main legal bases are derived from the GDPR. These are supplemented by national laws of the member states and may apply jointly or in addition to the GDPR.
Some data processing operations are only possible with the express consent of the data subjects. You have the option to revoke an already granted consent at any time. A formless notification or an email to info(at)wachter.parts is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
