Privacy notice – as of: August 1, 2021
We, CertifyCar GmbH, are pleased that you are interested in our website and our offers on our website.
The protection of your personal data is very important to us. In the following, we would like to inform you in detail about which data is collected when you visit our website, when you use our offers there and how we process or use it in the following. Furthermore, we will also inform you about the accompanying protective measures we have taken in technical and organizational terms.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject is always carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. By means of this data protection declaration we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us and, if you are affected by the data processing, to clarify. Although we, being the controller for the processing of personal data, have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures, internet-based data transmission can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. We ask that you take this into account when using our website.
In this privacy notice, terms are used that have been specified by the legislator in the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter also referred to as GDPR). You can access the GDPR under the following link:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=DE

Unless otherwise regulated in the respective processing of personal data in Chapter B. of this privacy notice, the data stored by us will be erased as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements. If the data subject’s data is not erased, because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data of the data subject that must be kept for commercial or tax law reasons. According to the legal requirements, the storage takes place for six years according to § 257 para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB – Handelsgesetzbuch) (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) as well as for ten years in accordance with § 147 para. 1 of the German Tax Code (AO – Abgabenordnung) (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, etc.).
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislators to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject would like to make use of this right to obtain confirmation, they can contact us at any time.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive free information about the personal data stored about it and a copy of this information from the controller at any time. The data subject is also entitled to the following information:

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the immediate rectification of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data by means of a supplementary declaration. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact us at any time.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand that the controller erase the personal data concerning them immediately, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdrawas its consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 point (a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 point (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
According to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject objects to the processing, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
The personal data was processed unlawfully.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the member states the controller is subject to.
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
If one of the above-mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored at CertifyCar GmbH deleted, they can contact us at any time. We will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately. If the personal data has been made public by CertifyCar GmbH and if our company as the controller according to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase the personal data, CertifyCar GmbH takes appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other data processors who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data from these other controllers of data processing, insofar as the processing is not necessary. We will arrange everything that is necessary in individual cases.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
The data subject disputes the correctness of the personal data for a period of time that enables the controller to check the correctness of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to erase the personal data and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned cases exists and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at CertifyCar GmbH, they can contact us at any time. We will then arrange for the processing to be restricted.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which the data subject has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The data subject also has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on the consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 point (a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 point (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 point (b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or is carried out in the exercise of official authority that has been assigned to the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not impair the rights and freedoms of other persons. The data subject can contact us at any time to establish its right to data portability.
Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, for reasons that arise from their particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to them, which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 letter (e) or (f) DSGVO takes place, to file an objection. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. CertifyCar GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend of legal claims.
If CertifyCar GmbH processes personal data in order to operate direct mail, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to CertifyCar GmbH processing for direct marketing purposes, CertifyCar GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out by CertifyCar GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, to object, unless such processing is necessary to fulfill a task in the public interest. The data subject can contact us directly to exercise the right to object. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58 / EC, to exercise their right of objection by means of automated procedures in which technical specifications are used.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including possibly profiling – which has legal effect on him or her in a similar way significantly affected unless the decision
is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
is permissible on the basis of Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and this legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or
takes place with the express consent of the data subject.
If the decision is
necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or
if it is made with the express consent of the data subject, CertifyCar GmbH takes appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to state their own point of view and heard on contesting the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights with regard to automated decisions, they can contact us at any time.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject would like to assert their right to withdraw consent, they can contact us at any time. Any data subject can contact us directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.
Unless otherwise stated in the description of the respective data processing procedure in Chapter B. of this data protection declaration, the following regulations apply.
Art. 6 I point (a) GDPR serves CertifyCar GmbH as the legal basis for processing operations for which consent must be obtained for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Art. 6 I point (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are required to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our services and products. If CertifyCar GmbH is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Art. 6 I point (c) GDPR. In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In this case, the processing is based on Art. 6 I point (d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I point (f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of CertifyCar GmbH or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are particularly permitted to carry out such processing operations because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator (see recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
Unless otherwise regulated in the description of the respective data processing procedure in Chapter B. of this privacy notice and the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I point (f) GDPR, our legitimate interest lies in the conduct of our business activities and the related economic interest.
If you use the contact details provided on our website (such as our e-mail address or fax number) to contact us, the personal data you provide will only be processed for the purpose for which you contacted us. If the reason for your contact is the interest in our services or products or the fulfillment of an existing contract with us, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 point (b) GDPR. In all other cases of contact, we have a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 point (f) GDPR in the data processing based on the communication initiated by you. We store the data required to process the contract until the statutory warranty and, if applicable, contractual guarantee periods have expired. We store the data required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law, usually ten years (cf. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO). The data processed to carry out pre-contractual measures will be deleted as soon as the measures have been carried out and there is clearly no contract conclusion. The personal data stored by us on the basis of a legitimate interest will be stored until the purpose for which the contact was established has been achieved. You have the right to object to data processing at any time, that takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 point (f) GDPR and is not used for direct advertising for reasons that arise from your particular situation. In the case of direct mail, however, you can object to processing at any time without giving reasons. Recipients of the personal data processed according to this regulation are IT service providers (especially hosters) with whom we have concluded a corresponding order processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of carrying out the application process and thus on the basis of a pre-contractual measure within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 point (b) GDPR or our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 point (f) GDPR on the employment of employees. Processing can also take place electronically, e.g. if an applicant sends us the relevant application documents electronically, for example by email or using our contact form. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically erased two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG – Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz). Due to the digitized recording of the applications received, the recipients of the processed personal data are our IT service providers (especially hosters), with whom we have concluded corresponding order processing within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR.

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 point (f) GDPR) we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via “Google Analytics”. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if our Internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another signatory to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to 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 the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s device. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of our website is called up on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the end device of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains 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 to enable commission accounting.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by data subject. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google Inc. in the United States. These personal data are stored by Google Inc. in the USA for 14 months. Google Inc. may pass this personal data collected through the technical process on to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in 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 information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie 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 of objecting to the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of our website and the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent this from happening. To this end, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data on the data subject’s device is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of influence, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set that prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website:
Deactivate Google Analytics

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.
Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
We use the “Google AdWords” service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain, on our website on the basis of our legitimate interests (ie interest in the economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in the Google search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to define certain keywords in advance by means of which an advertisement is only displayed in Google’s search engine results if the user calls up a relevant search result via the Google search engine.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the Google search engine results and by displaying third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, Google Inc. stores a so-called conversion cookie on the terminal device of the data subject, which loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If it has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both we and Google to understand whether a data subject who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords advertisements, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords advertisement and to optimize our AdWords advertisements for the future . Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the person concerned. The conversion cookie is used to store personal data, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Every time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the USA. These personal data are stored by Google in the USA. Google may pass this personal data on to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the terminal device of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software. The data subject also has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To this end, the data subject must call up the link https://www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 point (f) GDPR), we use the “Google Remarketing” service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to show advertisements to Internet users who have previously been on the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to show interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user. Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject’s device. With the setting of the cookie, Google is able to recognize the visitor to our website if they subsequently access websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Every time a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the data subject’s internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising. The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Every time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google Inc. in the USA. These personal data are stored by Google Inc. in the USA. Google may pass this collected personal data on to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the end device of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by “Google Analytics” can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software. The data subject also has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link https://www.google.de/settings/ads via the respective Internet browser and make the desired settings there. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
We use the “Google Customer Reviews” program, which is offered by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
The program gives us the opportunity to get customer reviews from users of our website. After making a purchase on our website, you will be asked whether you would like to take part in a Google email survey. If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 point (a) GDPR, we will transmit your email address to Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate the buying experience on our website. The rating you submitted is then combined with our other ratings and displayed in our Google customer reviews logo and in our Merchant Center dashboard; it is also used for Google seller ratings.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the data processing controller or to Google.
Further information on Google’s data protection in connection with the Google Customer Reviews program can be found at the following link https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/7188525?hl=de

Within our online offer, the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) is used.
With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we would also like to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”). The website also uses the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” from Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This allows users of the website to be shown interest-related advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) when visiting the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the process. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.
In order to prevent the collection of your data by means of the Facebook pixel on our website, please click the following link: Facebook Opt-Out Note: If you click the link, an “opt-out” cookie will be saved on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will have to click the link again. Furthermore, the opt-out only applies within the browser you are using and only within our web domain on which the link was clicked. You can also use cookies for range measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/). choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
However, if you want to use the services offered on our website, such as paid bookings in our online shop or ordering a newsletter, you will need to provide additional personal data. Details on this can be found in the following regulations.
(1) Your personal data that you provide to us during the booking process are required to conclude a contract with us (e.g. information on the contractual partner) or required by law (e.g. tax regulations). Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with you could not be concluded. For some payment methods, we need the necessary payment data in order to pass them on to a payment service provider commissioned by us. If you send us an inquiry by e-mail, using a contact form or conclude a contract via our website before the contract is concluded, we will process the data received in this way to carry out pre-contractual measures and answer, for example, your questions about our services or products. You can voluntarily create a customer account through which we can save your data for future purchases. When you create an account under “My account”, the data you provide will be stored revocably. You can request the deletion of your customer account at any time by sending an email to info@fk-soehnchen.de. The processing of your entered data is therefore carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 point (b) GDPR and for the fulfilment of legal obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 point (c) GDPR.
(2) Recipients of the personal data processed according to this regulation are payment service providers, shipping service providers, IT service providers (especially hosting), merchandise management systems with whom we have concluded corresponding order processing agreements in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
(3) We store the data required to process the contract until the statutory warranty and, if applicable, contractual guarantee periods have expired. We store the data required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law, usually ten years (cf. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO).
