Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG. Using the websites of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of specific services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to lipobak GmbH & Co. KG. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, lipobak GmbH & Co. KG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.


1. Definitions

The privacy policy of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:


  • a) Personal data

    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.


  • b) Data subject

    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.


  • c) Processing

    Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.


  • d) Restriction of processing

    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.


  • e) Profiling

    Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements of that natural person.


  • f) Pseudonymization

    Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.


  • g) Controller

    Controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.


  • h) Processor

    Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.


  • i) Recipient

    Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.


  • j) Third party

    Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.


  • k) Consent

    Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.



2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:


lipobak GmbH & Co.KG

3. Collection of general data and information

The website of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG collects a series of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, lipobak GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functioning of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.


4. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

    Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.


  • c) Right to rectification

    Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.


  • d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

    Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

    • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

    • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

    • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

    • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

    • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

    • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

    If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by lipobak GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay.

    If personal data have been made public by lipobak GmbH & Co. KG and our company, as controller, is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, lipobak GmbH & Co. KG shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The data protection officer of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in the individual case.


  • e) Right to restriction of processing

    Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

    • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

    • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.

    • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

    • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

    If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request restriction of personal data stored by lipobak GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will arrange the restriction of processing.


  • f) Right to data portability

    Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the data protection officer appointed by lipobak GmbH & Co. KG or another employee at any time.


  • g) Right to object

    Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    In the event of an objection, lipobak GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

    If lipobak GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, lipobak GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

    To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer of lipobak GmbH & Co. KG or another employee directly. Furthermore, in connection with the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.


  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

    Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller; or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject; or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

    If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, lipobak GmbH & Co. KG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decision-making, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.


  • i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

    Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.



6. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages were accessed, and how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the addition _ga._anonymtizeIp. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our websites takes place from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show activities on our websites, and to provide further services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Cookies have already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Within this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored. With each visit to our websites, these personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website, as well as to the processing of these data by Google, and to prevent such collection. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on via https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the data subject’s IT system is deleted, formatted or newly installed at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or by another person attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.


7. Legal basis of processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example to comply with tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person; for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interest. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because the European legislator explicitly mentioned them. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).


8. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.


9. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data are routinely erased, provided they are no longer required for the performance of a contract or for initiating a contract.


10. Legal or contractual requirements to provide personal data; necessity for concluding a contract; obligation to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual arrangements (e.g., information about a contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will clarify, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or necessary for concluding the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.


11. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.


12. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website are erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies, provided there are no statutory retention obligations preventing erasure and no differing information is provided below for individual processing procedures.


Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data are transmitted to us or to our web hosting provider by your internet browser. These so-called server log files may include, among other things, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of each access, and the IP address of the internet connection from which the website is used.

The data collected in this way are stored temporarily, but not together with other data about you.

This storage is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data are erased after seven days at the latest, unless further retention is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data are excluded from erasure in whole or in part until an incident has been finally clarified.


Cookies
a) Session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by your internet browser. These cookies process certain information about you to an individual extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as it enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for initiating or performing a contract.

If the processing does not serve contract initiation or contract performance, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.


b) Third-party cookies

If applicable, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for advertising, analysis, or functionality purposes.

Please refer to the information below for details, in particular regarding the purposes and legal bases for the processing of such third-party cookies.


c) Option to remove / prevent cookies

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. The steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via browser settings; instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this depend on the Flash player you use. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.


Contact requests / contact options

If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary to process and answer your request; without it, we cannot answer your request or can only answer it in a limited way.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once your request has been finally answered, provided there are no statutory retention obligations preventing deletion, for example in the case of subsequent contract processing.


OpenStreetMap and Leaflet

All maps on this website are displayed using the JavaScript library Leaflet (Leaflets.com – an open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps) by Vladimir Agafonkin and map data from OpenStreetMap contributors. The map data are available under the Open Database License, and the cartography is licensed under CC BY-SA. Further information on licenses, collection and use of data, as well as your rights and options to protect your privacy, can be found below.

https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/blob/master/LICENSE, https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright. and https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

For the interactive display and usability of the maps, it is technically necessary to exchange data with the servers maps.wikimedia.org (for map tiles) and unpkg.com (for loading the Leaflet files). This exchange may make it possible, in principle, that information about your website visit (including your IP address) is transmitted to these servers and stored there.

Personal data are not exchanged with the Leaflet service. Because the Leaflet JavaScript library runs directly in your browser (client-side execution), no data about the map sections you view are stored on the server of the Sustainability Council. The Leaflet library is stored temporarily in your browser software memory (browser cache).

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing and operating our website economically.

If you do not agree with this processing, you have the option to prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings in your internet browser. Details can be found above under “Cookies”.
