Depending on the type of service provision / contract justification, H&S Deutschland GmbH may require further data, such as date of birth, etc..
We use your information exclusively to improve our Internet platform and our offers, to prevent or detect misuse, in particular fraud, or to enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or possibly other services (package deliveries) on our behalf.
Any use of personal data is exclusively for the purposes stated and to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes.
The data will not be used for advertising or market research purposes.

1.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO serves as the legal basis insofar as H&S Deutschland GmbH obtains the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis, insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which H&S Deutschland GmbH is subject.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis insofar as vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis insofar as the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of H&S Deutschland GmbH or a third party and there are no overriding interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
1.3 Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies.
In addition, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which H&S Deutschland GmbH is subject.
Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
2. provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time the web pages of H&S Deutschland GmbH are called up, the system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
As a rule, the following data is collected:
- Information about the browser type and the version used.
- The operating system of the user
- The Internet service provider of the user
- The IP address of the user
- Date and time of access
The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to the user.
This data is also stored in the log files of the system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website 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 websites.
In addition, the data is used to optimize the H&S Deutschland GmbH website and to ensure the security of the systems.
The data is not used for advertising, customer consulting or market research purposes.
The storage of the data and the log files is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.
We use the setting "Do not create log files". In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the websites, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days 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.
The collection of data for the provision of the web pages and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
3. cookies
The web pages of H&S Deutschland GmbH use so-called session cookies.

5. security
H&S Deutschland GmbH uses technical and organizational security measures in order to protect your personal data managed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons.
