We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to invoice them.
The customer data collected will be deleted once the contract is complete or the business relationship has ended. Statutory retention periods notwithstanding.
We only transfer personal data to third parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract. The data will not be passed on, or only if you have specifically consented to it being passed on. Your data will not be shared with third parties, such as for advertising purposes, without your specific consent.
3.3.2 Legitimate interests (article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)
Where necessary, we process your personal data beyond the actual performance of the contract for the purpose of safeguarding our own legitimate interests or those of third parties (such as making legal claims; market and opinion research – unless you have objected to your data being used; risk control in business; safeguarding IT security and IT operations).
3.3.3 Legal obligations, public interest (article 6 para.1 lit. c and e GDPR)
Additional processing purposes include meeting tax inspection and reporting requirements as well as the assessment and management of operational risks. This is because we are subject to legal requirements (such as tax laws).

Personal data is only transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA (what are known as third countries) to the extent necessary to meet contractual and legal obligations or in the course of order data processing. If service providers in third countries are used, in addition to written instructions they are required to match the data protection level in Europe by agreeing to the EU standard contractual clauses.
3.5 Legal basis for collecting, storing and processing data
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, article 6 paragraph 1 lit.a of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In other cases, refer to the information in section 3.3.

Where no explicit storage period is specified when collecting personal data (e.g. based on consent), we process and store personal data relating to the data subject only for as long as is necessary to achieve the storage purpose. Data is only stored beyond this time scale where statutory retention periods apply, i.e. where this is required by the European or national legislature in Union regulations, legislation or other requirements with which the data controller must comply.

Sending a brief message by email to: datenschutz@pool.de is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of data processing that has taken place before this withdrawal is not affected by the withdrawal.
4.4.2 Balancing of interest
Where processing your personal data is based on a weighted balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This would apply, in particular, if the processing is not necessary for performing a contract with you, which we describe in the following description of the functions. When exercising your right to object, please explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have been doing. Once you explain the reasons for your objection, we will review the situation and either cease or modify processing, or else reply to you giving our legitimate overriding reasons on the basis of which we will continue processing. Your objection should be directed to our data protection officer (see section 3.3 above).
4.4.3 Automated procedures (profiling)
Where personal data relating to you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to personal data relating to you being processed for the purpose of such marketing; this similarly applies to profiling where it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for those purposes. In relation to the use of information society services, you have the option to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications. Your objection should be directed to our data protection officer (see section 3.3 above).
5. Encryption
This site uses SSL encryption on security grounds, and to ensure the secure transfer of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries which you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar in the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock symbol appears in the browser bar. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot also be read by third parties.
Security measures
We put suitable technical and organisational measures in place to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, in accordance with art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the cost of implementation and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing, as well as the varying probabilities of occurrence and severity of risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as controlling posting, input, transfer, making available and segregation, as appropriate. We have also set up procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and response to data vulnerability. We do also in fact consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (art. 25 GDPR).
6. Objection by the operator of this website to marketing emails
We hereby object to the contact details published as part of the legal notices being used for sending unsolicited marketing and information material. The operators of this website specifically reserve the right to take legal action should unsolicited marketing information, such as spam emails, be received.

10. Google AdWords und Google Conversion-Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). As part of Google AdWords, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ad Words customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking.
Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
“Conversion cookies” are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

11. Electronic mail (e-mail)
If you send us an e-mail, it will be stored by us until your request has been dealt with or until any statutory retention obligations have expired. We ensure that the data is stored securely to prevent unauthorized access by third parties. Please note, however, that unencrypted e-mails sent via the Internet are not adequately protected against unauthorized access by third parties.
Information that you send to us unencrypted by electronic mail (e-mail) may be read by third parties during transmission. As a rule, we are also unable to verify your identity and do not know who is behind an e-mail address. Legally secure communication by simple e-mail is therefore not guaranteed. Like many e-mail providers, we use filters against unwanted advertising (“SPAM filters”), which in rare cases automatically classify normal e-mails as unwanted advertising and delete them. E-mails containing harmful programs (“viruses”) are automatically deleted by us in all cases.
If you wish to send us messages worthy of protection, we recommend that you encrypt and sign them to prevent unauthorized access and falsification during transmission or send the message to us by conventional post.
You can send PGP-encrypted e-mails to us to the following e-mail address: pgp@pool.de
You can import the required PGP communication key (public key) with the appropriate software and then use it. Information on the free downloadable encryption software “GpG4Win”, which was developed on behalf of the Federal Office for Information Security, can be found on their website at
https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/Cyber-Sicherheit/Tools/Gpg4Win/gpg4win_node.html
Please also let us know whether and how we can send you encrypted e-mails to reply to your correspondence and, if this is not possible, whether you agree to an unencrypted e-mail reply to your letter. If you do not have the option of receiving encrypted e-mails, please provide us with your postal address so that we can reply to your more sensitive messages.
11.1. Hosting
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, e-mail dispatch, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering. In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR. Art. 28 GDPR.
11.2. Deletion of data
The data processed by us will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted 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 that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.
According to legal requirements in Germany, data is stored in particular for 10 years in accordance with §§ 147 para. 1 AO, 257 para. 1 no. 1 and 4, para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with § 257 para. 1 no. 2 and 3, para. 4 HGB (commercial letters).
11.3. Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management
We process data in the context of administrative tasks and the organization of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process as part of the provision of our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information specified in these processing activities. We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax advisors or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers. We also store information on suppliers, event organizers and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of contacting them at a later date. We generally store this mainly company-related data permanently.
11.4. Anti spam check
Our online offer regarding e-mailing and contact form uses services:
Exchange Spamfilter (Microsoft)
Trend Micro Spamfilter (Trend Micro)
Firewall spam filter (Palo Alto)
The use is based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. This service is used to distinguish access and messages from genuine people from spam. For this purpose, all information is analyzed by preset spam rules. If a post is classified as spam, it is stored in the spam folder and either deleted immediately or further analyzed and forwarded to the specified destination after verification. The data to be checked includes the name entered, the email address, the IP address, the comment content, the reference, details of the browser used and the computer system and the time of the entry. You can completely prevent the transfer of data by not using our system.
12. Data transmission
12.1. Transfer to third countries
The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. Personal data is only transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries) to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual and legal obligations or is required as part of commissioned data processing.
In principle, the controller can use various suitable guarantees to ensure that an appropriate level of protection is established for the processing. It is possible to transfer data on the basis of an adequacy decision, internal data protection regulations, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. a) – f) GDPR.
If the controller carries out a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 para. 1 a) GDPR, you will be informed here about the possible risks of data transfer to a third country.
There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not have an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the respective third country or if certain agreements between the European Union and the respective third country are declared invalid. Specifically, there are risks in some third countries with regard to the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of surveillance laws (e.g. USA). In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of the data subjects in the third country enjoy an equivalent level of protection as in the Union and can also be effectively enforced.
12.2. Transmission to the USA
Due to the ECJ (judgment of 16.07.2020, ref.: C-311/18 (“Schrems II”)), there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA and the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. Government surveillance measures may be carried out in the USA and it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process your data stored on US servers for surveillance purposes. There is no adequate legal protection against these measures and we have no influence on these processing activities.
13. Final provision
In order to do justice to the constant development of the Internet, POOLgroup GmbH may adapt this data protection declaration at any time in compliance with the current data protection regulations.
POOLgroup GmbH in May 2024
