Privacy Policy
We are very pleased with your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Logiwheel GmbH. The use of the Logiwheel GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if an individual wishes to make use of specific services offered by our company through our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required, and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the individual concerned.
The processing of personal data, such as the individual’s name, address, email address, or telephone number, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Logiwheel GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs individuals about their rights.
Logiwheel GmbH, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, individuals are free to transmit personal data to us through alternative means, such as by phone.
1 Definitions
The privacy policy of Logiwheel GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal Data
Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “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 one or more specific factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data 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, 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 their processing in the future.
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 work performance, 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 to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller
Controller refers to the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or specific criteria for their nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

Processor refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be considered recipients.
j) Third Party
Third party refers to a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent refers to 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 concerning them for a specific purpose.

3 Cookies
The websites of Logiwheel GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
The use of cookies allows Logiwheel GmbH to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
4 Collection of General Data and Information
The website of Logiwheel GmbH collects a range of general data and information with each visit by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following data can be collected: (1) types and versions of browsers 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 via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent security risks in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
Logiwheel GmbH does not draw conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Instead, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the continued functionality 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. Logiwheel GmbH evaluates this data and information anonymously, both for statistical purposes and to increase data protection and data security in our company to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5 Contact Possibility via the Website
The website of Logiwheel GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, including a general email address (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
6 Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as required by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.
Once the storage purpose is met or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
7 Rights of the Data Subject

Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to demand from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not required:
– The personal data were collected for such purposes or processed in any other way for which they are no longer necessary.
– The data subject withdraws their consent to processing according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for processing.
– The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
– The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
– The erasure of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
– The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Logiwheel GmbH, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of Logiwheel GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without delay.
If the personal data has been made public by Logiwheel GmbH and our company is responsible for deleting personal data as the data controller in accordance with Art. 17(1) GDPR, Logiwheel GmbH will take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other data controllers who are processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless processing is required. The employee of Logiwheel GmbH will initiate the necessary measures on a case-by-case basis.
e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request the controller to restrict processing where one of the following conditions 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 instead the restriction of their use.
– 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 pending the verification of 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 the restriction of personal data stored by Logiwheel GmbH, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of Logiwheel GmbH will initiate the restriction of processing.
f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which was 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, as long as 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 personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of Logiwheel GmbH at any time.
g) Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to the 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.
Logiwheel GmbH will no longer process personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If Logiwheel GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Logiwheel GmbH processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, Logiwheel GmbH 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 by Logiwheel GmbH 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 in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject can directly contact any employee of Logiwheel GmbH or another employee. The data subject is also free in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated Decisions Including Profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data 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, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Logiwheel GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, 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 exercise rights concerning automated decisions, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
i) Right to Withdraw Consent under Data Protection Law
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to withdraw consent, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
8 Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent 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, such as in the case of processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were to be injured, and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such a case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Processing on this legal basis is permitted when none of the aforementioned legal bases apply, but 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 outweigh those interests. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2, GDPR).
9 Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
10 Duration for Which Personal Data Will Be Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the retention period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the performance of the contract or for contract initiation.
11 Legal or Contractual Obligations to Provide Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Consequences of Non-Provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Occasionally, it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
12 Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
