Privacy Policy

We take the protection of your data seriously and will inform you on request which data we collect and how we use it. In addition, we have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection are observed in accordance with the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), which will apply from 25.5.2018.

I. Name and address of the person responsible
The responsible person in terms of the basic data protection regulation and other national data protection laws of the member states and other data protection regulations is:

III. provision of the website and creation of log files
1. description and scope of data processing Whenever our website is accessed, our system or hosting provider automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data is collected:

(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user's operating system
(3) The Internet service provider of the user
(4) The IP address of the user
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
(7) Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

The data is stored in log files (so-called server log files). This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3. purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. The data also serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of the information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

4. duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended. In the case of storage of the data in log files, this is the case after nine weeks at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

IV. Use of cookies
a) Description, scope and purpose of data processing, duration of storage
Cookies are used when using our website. The purpose of cookies is to personalize the website for the user's visit and to facilitate the use of the website. Cookies are small text files which the website transfers to the cookie file of the Internet browser on the user's device and stores there for later retrieval, so that the user is recognized the next time he or she visits the website. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originates, the "lifetime" of the cookie and a unique identifier. The information generated by the cookie is made completely anonymous and is used exclusively to improve the website. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. The following types of cookies are used on the website:
- Session Cookies: These are temporarily set cookies that remain in the cookie file of the browser until the user leaves the website. Session cookies are primarily required for the user to be able to use the website and, if necessary, to make registrations, logins or orders. Session cookies are deleted when the browser session is terminated.

- Persistent cookies: These remain in the cookie file of the browser for a longer period of time. The duration depends on the lifetime of the specific cookie. It can be unlimited or extend to deletion. Persistent cookies from the provider enable the website to remember the choices made by the user (e.g. the user's registration data, the language he/she has chosen or the region in which he/she is located).

The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

b) Legal basis for data processing The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

c) Possibility of objection and removal Cookies are stored on the user's computer and are transmitted by the user to our site. Therefore you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. Already stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If the user does not wish to accept cookies, he/she can refuse them and object to access to previously stored information by adjusting his/her Internet browser accordingly. The settings within the browser that allow the user to do so vary from browser to browser. They can usually be found under "Privacy" or "Cookies" in the "Internet Options" or "Settings" menu of the browser. If the user needs help in deactivating or deleting cookies, he can access the "Help" menu within the browser. Information on how to manage and delete cookies and instructions on how to do this for the most common browsers can be found, for example, at www.meine-cookies.org. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

V. E-mail contact
1. description and scope of data processing It is possible to contact us via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2nd legal basis for the data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6, Par. 1, letter f, DSGVO. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO.

3. purpose of data processing
The processing of the personal data from your e-mail serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contacting us by e-mail, this is also the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

4. duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. For personal data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is finished. The conversation ends when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. Any additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a quarterly review.

5. contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

6. possibility of objection and removal
The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued. The revocation of the consent and the objection to the storage of the personal data can be made by e-mail (contact(at)blue-fire.org). In this case, all personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted.

VI. rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the DSGVO and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the person responsible:

1. right of information You may request confirmation from the person responsible as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing has taken place, you can request information from the data controller about the following:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed

(2) the categories of personal data which are processed;

(3) the recipients or the categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;

(4) the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if it is not possible to give specific details, criteria for determining the duration of storage;

(5) the existence of a right of rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to have the processing limited by the controller or a right to object to such processing;

(6) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;

(7) any available information as to the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Art. 22 (1) and (4) DPA and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing on the data subject. You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 DPA in connection with the transfer.

2. right of rectification
You have the right to ask the data controller to correct and/or complete the data if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller must make the correction without delay.

3. right to limit processing
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

(1) if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time which enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data

(2) if the processing is unlawful and you object to the deletion of the personal data and instead demand the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims; or

(4) if you have lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 Par. 1 DSGVO and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data - apart from being stored - may be processed only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State. If the restriction on processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. right of deletion

a) Duty to delete
You may demand that the person responsible for the data concerning you be immediately deleted, and the person responsible is obliged to delete such data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed

(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(3) You lodge an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO and there are no legitimate reasons for the processing, or you lodge an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 DSGVO.

(4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.

(5) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

(6) The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the DPA.

b) Information to third parties If the data controller has made public the personal data concerning you and is obliged to delete them in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 DPA, he shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as a data subject, have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

c) Exceptions
The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or national law to which the controller is subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Article 9 (2) lit. h and i and Article 9 (3) DSGVO;

(4) for archival, scientific or historical research purposes in the public interest or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or limitation of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or limitation of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right, vis-à-vis the data controller, to be informed of these recipients.

6. right to data transferability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to have this data communicated to another person in charge without interference from the person in charge to whom the personal data has been communicated, provided that

(1) the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO and

(2) the processing is carried out by means of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data transferability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out pursuant to art. 6, paragraph 1, letter e or f of the DPA; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing which are worthy of protection and which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for those purposes. You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in relation to the use of information society services, without prejudice to Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures involving technical specifications.

8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. Revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of your consent until revocation.

9. automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect on you or which significantly affects you in a similar way. This shall not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract between you and the person responsible,

(2) is authorised by Union law or the law of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g DSGVO applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests. With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the data controller, to express his point of view and to challenge the decision.

10. right to appeal to a supervisory authority Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of the DPA. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a legal remedy under Art. 78 DSGVO.
