We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high priority for the management of BORNIT-Werk Aschenborn GmbH. Your personal data will therefore be processed confidentially and in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) as well as other statutory data protection rules.

Which data is processed in detail primarily depends on the contents of the contractual and pre-contractual business relationship. Details and supplements on the scope and purposes of data processing can be found in this data protection notice (including the supplementary data protection notice for the use of our website and for applicants), in the respective contractual documents, forms, a declaration of consent and/or other information provided to you (e.g., in the context of the use of our website).

2. Where do we obtain your personal data?

The collection of your data basically takes place with yourself. The processing of your personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of the contractual obligations arising from the contract concluded with us. Due to your obligations to cooperate, it is unavoidable to provide the personal data requested by us, as otherwise we cannot fulfil our contractual obligations.

In the context of pre-contractual measures (e.g., master data collection in the interested party process, answering enquiries), the provision of your personal data is necessary. If the requested data is not provided by you, a contract cannot be concluded.

In order to provide our services, it may be necessary to process personal data we have received from other companies or other third parties, e.g., tax offices, your and our business partners or the like, permissibly and for the respective purpose.

Furthermore, we may process personal data from publicly accessible sources, e.g., websites, which we use permissibly and only for the respective contractual purpose. In addition, we process personal data, that we have permissibly taken, received, or acquired from publicly accessible sources (such as telephone directories, commercial and association registers, civil registers, debtor registers, land registers, the press, the Internet, and other media) and may process.

Relevant categories of personal data may include in particular:

  • Personal data (name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, marital status, profession, industry, position in the company and comparable data),
  • Contact data (address, e-mail address, telephone number and comparable data),
  • Address data (registration data and comparable data),
  • Contract data (property and delivery address, bank details, picture documentation and comparable data),
  • Payment/coverage confirmation for bank and credit cards,
  • Information about your financial situation (creditworthiness data including scoring, i.e., data for assessing economic risk),
  • Data about your use of the telemedia offered by us (e.g., time of visiting our websites, apps or newsletters, pages/links or entries by us clicked on and comparable data),
  • Meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses),

as well as other data comparable with the aforementioned categories.

3. Purposes and legal bases of processing

We process your personal data in compliance with the applicable legal data protection requirements. The processing is lawful, as long as at least one of the following conditions is met:

a. Based on consent (according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

The purposes of processing personal data result from the granting of consent. Consent given can be revoked by you at any time with effect for the future. Consent granted before the DSGVO came into force (25 May 2018) can also be revoked. Processing that took place before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

b. For the fulfilment of contractual obligations or pre-contractual measures (pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO).

The purposes of data processing result, on the one hand, from the initiation of pre-contractual measures that precede a contractually regulated business relationship and, on the other hand, to fulfil the obligations arising from the contract concluded with you,

  • to be able to identify you as our business partner/contact person,
  • to be able to provide our services,
  • for correspondence with you,
  • to issue invoices,
  • for measures to control and optimise business processes,
  • for the verifiability of orders and other agreements,
  • to ensure IT security (including system and plausibility tests),
  • to fulfil general duties of care,
  • to ensure and exercise domiciliary rights (e.g., through access controls and video surveillance),
  • for cost recording and controlling as well as for reporting,
  • for the settlement of possibly existing liability claims and the assertion of any claims against you.

c. Due to legal requirements (pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DSGVO) or in the public interest (pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e DSGVO).

The purposes of data processing result from legal requirements or are in the public interest (e.g., compliance with retention obligations).

d. Within the framework of the balancing of interests (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

The purposes of processing result from the protection of our legitimate interests. It may be necessary to process your personal data beyond the actual performance of the contract. This legitimate interest may be used to justify further processing of your personal data, provided that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms are not overridden. The legitimate interest may, in particular, be in individual cases:

  • Revision and improvement of procedures for general business management and further development of products and services
  • Advertising, market and opinion research, provided you have not objected to the use of your data
  • Assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes
  • Inhibition, clarification, and prevention of criminal offences
  • Ensuring IT security and IT operations
  • Consultation by and data exchange with credit agencies to determine creditworthiness or default risks
  • Deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special nature of the storage, and processing for other purposes is excluded by appropriate technical and organisational measures.
4. Who receives your personal data?

Within our company, those areas receive access to your personal data that need it to fulfil contractual and legal obligations and that are authorised to process this data.

We also have individual of the aforementioned processes and services carried out by carefully selected service providers, who are based within the EU and who are commissioned in accordance with data protection law. These are companies in the categories of IT services, payment transactions, print service providers, logistics, shipping, billing, debt collection, consulting, sales, and marketing as well as other service providers that we use within the framework of order processing relationships.

With regard to the transfer of data to other recipients, we may only transfer your personal data if this is required by law, you have consented, or we are authorised to transfer it. If these requirements are met, recipients of personal data may include:

  • public organisations and institutions (e.g., tax authorities, social insurance institutions, courts), if there is a legal or official obligation;
  • other companies or comparable institutions to which we transfer personal data in order to carry out the business relationship with you (e.g., credit agencies);
  • other companies of Basalt AG.

Other institutions may also be recipients of data, if you have given us your consent to the transfer of data.

5. Is your personal data transferred to third countries or international organisations?

An active transfer of your personal data to a third country or to an international organisation does not take place. If, in individual cases, you wish your personal data to be transferred to a third country or an international organisation, or if this is necessary due to the contents of the contract, we will only do so with your written consent.

6. Does automated decision-making, including profiling, take place?

No fully automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22 DSGVO is used to process your personal data.

7. Duration of processing (criteria for deletion)

Your personal data will be processed for as long as it is necessary to achieve the contractually agreed purpose - basically for as long as the contractual relationship with you exists. After termination of the contractual relationship, your personal data will be processed to comply with statutory retention obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests. After the expiry of the statutory retention periods and/or the lapse of our legitimate interests, your personal data will be deleted. Anticipated periods of the retention obligations incumbent upon us and our legitimate interests:

  • Fulfilment of retention periods under commercial and tax law. The periods specified there for storage or documentation are two to ten years.
  • Preservation of evidence within the framework of the statute of limitations.
    According to §§ 195 cont. of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, with the regular limitation period being three years.
8. What rights do you have?
  • Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 DSGVO,
  • Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 DSGVO,
  • Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO,
  • Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO, § 35 BDSG-neu (new Federal Data Protection Act),
  • Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO,
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 13 Para. 2 lit. d, 77 DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 19 BDSG-neu,
  • Withdrawal of consent pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO, as well as
  • Right of objection pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO:

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) (data processing in the public interest) or (f) DSGVO (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 DSGVO.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

We may also process your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing. If you do not wish to receive advertising, you have the right to object to this at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. We will observe this objection for the future.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

The objection can be made form-free and should preferably be addressed to:
