General Notice and Mandatory Information

Identification of the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Innovative Water and Environmental Solutions UG
Sophie-Charlotten str 109
14059 Berlin

The responsible party alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of a breach of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is located. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The provision is made in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing at any time within the scope of the applicable legal provisions. You also have the right to correct, block or delete this data. For this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the legal notice.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

Contact Form

Data transmitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or there is no longer any need for data storage. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Storage Duration of Posts and Comments

Posts and comments as well as related data, such as IP addresses, are stored. The content remains on our website until it has been completely deleted or had to be deleted for legal reasons.

The storage of posts and comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Cookies help us to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. However, other cookies remain on your end device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognize you when you return to our website.

If other cookies (e.g., for analytics functions) are set, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Type and scope of processing

We use Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as an analysis service for the statistical evaluation of our online offering. This includes, for example, the number of visits to our online offering, sub-pages visited and the length of time visitors stay.

Purpose and legal basis

The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a. GDPR and Section 25 Paragraph 1 TTDSG.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. In cases where there is no adequacy decision from the European Commission (e.g. in the USA), we have agreed other suitable guarantees with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021. You can obtain a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from= EN view.

In addition, before such a third country transfer, we obtain your consent in accordance with Article 49 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a. GDPR, which you give via consent in the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that there are unknown risks in third country transfers (e.g. data processing by security authorities in the third country, the exact extent of which and the consequences for you we do not know, over which we have no influence and of which you may not become aware) can pass.

Storage duration

The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the data protection declaration for Google Analytics: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
