In cases where the legal basis is not specifically mentioned in the data protection declara-tion, the following applies: retrieving approval is legally based on art. 6 section 1 lit. a and art. 7 DSGVO; the processing needed to fulfill our obligations and services and to carry out all contractually required measures as well as to answer your requests is legally based on art. 6 section 1 lit. b DSGVO. Compliance with our legal obligations is legally based on art. 6 section 1 lit. c DSGVO; pro-cessing data needed to protect our justified claims is legally based on art. 6 section 1 lit. f DSGVO. In cases where the vital interests of a specific person or another natural person request the processing of individual personal data, the legal basis refers to art. 6 section 1 lit. d DSGVO.

2. Changes and Updates of the Declaration of Data Protection (declaration last updated: 15.05.2018)

We ask you to inform yourself regularly concerning the content of our data protection declaration. We adapt this data protection declaration as soon as changes are shown to be necessary due to the data processed by us. We will inform you as soon as these changes require an active involvement from you (f. ex. a consent) or in cases where individual contact is required.

3. Safety measures

3.1. In accordance with art. 32 DSGVO, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of safety appropriate to the risk. We do this in accordance with the state of art of tech-nology, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the pro-cessing as well as regarding the various degrees of likelihood and the severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. These measures include, especially, ensuring the non-violation of confidence, the integrity and accessibility of data by controlling physical access to these data as well as their access, entering and sharing data, ensuring their accessibility and segregating them. We have furthermore taken measures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, to guarantee the dele-tion of data and suitable steps regarding data compromise. We furthermore already take into account the protection of individual subject data during the development and selection of hardware, software as well as procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection via technological design and via data protection friendly default settings (Art. 25 DSGVO).

3.2. Safety measures especially imply the encoded transmission of data between your browser and our server.

4. Cooperation with data processing companies and third parties

4.1. In those cases where we do disclose data to other persons and companies (data processing compa-nies or third parties) in the context of our own processing, where we transmit data to them or allow them any other kind of access to the data, this only happens on the basis of a legal permit (f. ex. if transmitting the data to a third party – like a payment service provider – is necessary in accordance with art. 6 par. 1 lit. b DSGVO in order to fulfill the contract), following your permission, if we are bound to do so by law, or on the basis of our justified claims (f. ex. when employing representatives, web hosts, etc.).

4.2. In those cases where we employ third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “data pro-cessing contract”, we do so on the basis of art. 28 DSGVO.

5. Transmission into third countries

If we process data from a third country (i.e. from outside of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or if this happens in the context of using the services of third parties or in the process of disclosing or transmitting data to third parties, we only do so in order to fulfill our (pre-) contractual obligations, following your permission, if we are bound to do so by law, or on the basis of our justified claims. Once the legal or contractual permits have been obtained, we only process or let others process the data in a third country if the special prerequisites stated in art. 44 ff. DSGVO ap-ply. I.e., processing for example only takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the da-ta protection level being officially acknowledged as corresponding to EU laws (such as the “Privacy Shield“ in the USA) or if officially acknowledged special contractual obligations are being maintained (so-called “standard contract terms”).

15. Inclusion of the services and content of third parties

15.1. Within our online services and on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., the claim to analyze, opti-mize and economically run our online services in accordance with art. 6 section 1 lit. f. DSGVO), we use content- and service-related offers by third-party suppliers in order to integrate their contents and services, f. ex. videos or font types (in the following termed “contents”). This always implies the re-quirement of the third parties offering these contents to be allowed to distinguish the users’ IP ad-dress because they would not be able to send any contents to their browsers without the IP address. In other words, the IP address is required so they can realize these contents. We take great care to only use such contents where the respective third parties only use the IP address to deliver the re-quired contents. Furthermore, third party suppliers are allowed to use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "Web Beacons") for statistical or marketing-related reasons. Pixel tags are used to process information such as the frequency of visitor traffic on the pages of a specific web-site. This information, which is pseudonymous, can furthermore be stored on the users’ devices via cookies and can also contain technological information about the browser and operating system, ref-erencing websites, times of access as well as further indications concerning the usage of our online services and can also be combined with similar information garnered from other sources.

15.2. The list below offers you an overview of the third-party suppliers and their services and contents as well as the direct links to their respective data protection declarations, which contain further infor-mation concerning the processing of data and your rights (so-called opt-outs), even though some of them might already be mentioned here:

Maps taken from Google Maps, by third-party supplier Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
External code of the JavaScript framework “jQuery”, provided by third-party supplier jQuery Foun-dation, https://jquery.org.
Links to the social network facebook.com. The link is recognizable by the Facebook Logo (white “f“ on a blue square). When users click on this link, they are forwarded in a separate browser window to our Facebook account. If they log in via their own Facebook account, they can, for example, write a comment about our services. The link creates a direct connection between the users’ browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thus gets the information that the users visited our website with their IP address. According to Facebook, in Germany only anonymized IP addresses are saved. If the users logged in via their Facebook accounts, it is then also possible for Facebook to associate the users’ Facebook accounts with their access to our website. We would like to point out that we do not have any further knowledge beyond this of how the users’ data are further pro-cessed. The aims and extent of the data storage and the further processing and usage of the data by Facebook as well as related rights and setting options to protect the users’ private sphere an be found in the data protection declaration issued by Facebook https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. Further options concerning setting and opt-outs such as objections to the usage of data for commercial purposes are possible via the Facebook profile set-tings https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via their US-American site at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or their European site at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. These settings are carried out independently of the platform, i.e., they are transferred onto all de-vices used, be it desktop computers or mobile devices.

16. Link Online Shop BIER & BIER Genuss GmbH

16.1. The online shop BIER & BIER Genuss GmbH (“operator“), Neuschmied 42, 83246 Unterwössen, Germany, also markets our products in their own name and for their own account. We have integrated a link to their online shop on our website www.Uerige.de. In the context of establishing this connec-tion, it is necessary that the operator acknowledge the users’ IP address because he could not send any online service offers to their browsers without the IP address, which hence is required for the re-alization of the online services.

16.2. The operator is responsible for the processing of the data in the context of the services offered online. The aims and extent of the data collection and the further processing and usage of the data by the operator as well as related rights and setting options to protect the users’ private sphere can be found in the data protection declaration issued by the operator at http://www.biershop-braugasthoefe.de/datenschutz/.
