General information on data processing

Scope of data processing

We strictly adhere to the processing and use of personal data of our users insofar as necessary for operating a functional website and delivering our content and services. Processing personal data on a regular basis only takes place after the user has given his permission to do so. An exception is applicable in case a permission cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of data is protected by legal rules.

We include links to Kununu, LinkedIn and our partners on our website. If you click on them, we are no longer responsible for the website content and processing.

Legal basis for processing personal data

Whenever we obtain the consent from a data subject to process personal data, Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing this personal data.

Whenever processing such data is necessary for compliance with a contract, where a person is one of the contract's party, Art. 6 (1 lit.b) of GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to the processing act which is necessary for pre-contract activities.

Whenever processing such data is necessary for compliance with a legal regulation to which our company is subject to Art. 6 (1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for safeguarding the legitimate interests of Müller-BBM Active Sound Technology or of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 (1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing this data. 

Erasure and storage duration

Personal data are erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is no longer applicable, except in cases where a storage is governed by the legal basis of a European Union or national jurisdiction, European Union legal rules, laws or other regulations to which the party responsible is subject. Data are also blocked or erased when a statutory period, set by the standards mentioned above, ends, unless deemed necessary to extend the data storage in order to conclude or fulfill a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

Description and scope of data processing

We use Matomo on our website for statistical analysis in order to improve our services. Matomo is an open source tool for web analysis that records your usage behavior anonymously. Matomo works with cookies, which are text files that are stored on your computer and enable us to analyze the use of our website.

Matomo collects the following data for us:

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for temporary data and log file storage is in accordance with Art. 6 (1 lit. f) GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

A temporary storage of the IP address is necessary for enabling our system to deliver our website to the user's computer. For this reason, the user's IP address must be stored until the end of the session. 

Data storage in log files is required to ensure the functionality of the website. Furthermore, the data enables us to optimize the website and to guarantee the security of our IT systems. Data analysis for marketing-related purposes is not performed in this context.

These purposes correspond to our legitimate interests of data processing as indicated in Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR.

Data storage duration

Data are erased as soon as they become no longer required for the purposes of collection. This applies to the data collection for operating the website whenever the respective session on the website is terminated.

In case of data storage in logfiles, this is, as well as the applied process of anonymization, described above.

Withdrawal and elimination

Data collection and data storage in logfiles for the provision of the website to the user is mandatory. Consequently, the user cannot claim a right on withdrawal.

E-Mail contact

Description and scope of data processing

Legal basis for processing

Legal basis for the processing of data which are communicated via e-mail is provided in accordance with Art. 6 (1 lit f) GDPR. In case the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, Art. 6 (1 lit b) GDPR serves as another legal basis for data processing.

Purpose of data processing

When processing personal data originating from a contact via e-mail, we have a necessary legitimate interest in the processing of those data.

Storage duration

Data are erased as soon as they are no longer deemed necessary for collection. 

This applies to personal data transmitted via e-mail at the point the conversation with the user has been terminated. The conversation is deemed terminated when the circumstances show that the respective issue is finally clarified. 

In case an e-mail conversation results in a contractual relationship these data are handled as precontractual data of the contractual relationship and erased respectively. 

In case the e-mail conversation results in trade and legal tax related storage obligations, the data will only be erased after termination of these obligations.

Withdrawal and elimination

The user has the right to withdraw from his consent given for processing his personal data at any time. In the case the user gets into contact with us via e-mail, he has the right to withdraw from the storage of his personal data at any time. In this case the conversation cannot be continued.

A withdrawal notice can be sent via e-mail or by other written means of contact.

All personal data stored in relation to the establishment of the contact then will be eliminated unless they do not object against trade and legal tax related storage obligations.

In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, 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.
