DATA PROTECTION
The protection of your data, to which we attach great importance, applies not only to our SEILWORX website but also to our social media presences on Facebook and Instagram. Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible when creating them.
The protection of your privacy when processing personal data is an important concern for us, current status: 20.05.2018
Principles of data processing
SEILWORX takes the protection of personal data very seriously. In particular, great importance is attached to the protection of their personal rights in the processing and use of information. This privacy policy clarifies the nature, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data. We process personal data in a lawful manner on the basis of legal provisions, i.e. Data Protection Act (DSG), Telecommunications Act (TKG) as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), in good faith and in a manner that is comprehensible to the data subjects, whereby we collect personal data only for defined, clear and legitimate purposes and do not process them in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes. In the course of your visit to our website, your e-mail inquiry, your newsletter subscription or your order in the webshop, we collect and process certain personal data relating to you. The nature, scope and purposes of this data processing are described below. The personal data collected and processed by us in this way is limited to what is necessary for the purposes of the processing. In addition, we take technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data. This is to prevent unauthorized access, collection, use, publication, reproduction, modification or deletion of personal data.
As the technical, organizational and legal framework for the processing of personal data is subject to constant and progressive development, this data protection declaration will be adapted to the changed framework conditions, if necessary. Users of this website must therefore inform themselves of any changes to this data protection declaration at the beginning of their use of the website.
Information Dominic Malina is responsible for data collection. You have the right at any time to free information, correction, blocking or deletion of their stored data. If you have any questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data, please contact our company data protection officer Dominic Malina, Brabantstraße 5, 52070 Aachen, info@seilworx.de.
Disclosure to third parties
We do not pass on your personal data, including your address and e-mail address, to third parties without your express consent, which may be revoked at any time. Exceptions to this are our service partners who require the transmission of data for order processing (e.g. the shipping company commissioned with the delivery and the credit institution commissioned with the payment processing). In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the minimum required.
Contract text
We save the text of the contract and send you the booking data and a link to our General Terms and Conditions of Travel by e-mail. For security reasons, your booking data is not accessible via the Internet. You have the option to conclude the contract in German.TLS and SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. We use https to transfer data tap-proof on the Internet. By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol in the upper left corner of the browser and the use of the scheme https as part of our internet address.
Automatic data storage
When you visit websites nowadays, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.
If you send us data via contact form, this data will be stored on our servers in the course of data backup. Your data will be treated strictly confidential. It will not be passed on to third parties for marketing purposes. When you visit our website as you are doing right now, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically saves data such as the IP address of your device, the addresses of the subpages visited, details of your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Edge,…) and the date as well as the time. We do not use this data and generally do not pass it on, but we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of unlawful behavior.

We do not disclose your personal data without your consent, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct.
If you send us personal data by e-mail – thus away from this website – we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data by e-mail without encryption.
