1. DATA PROTECTION AT A GLANCE

Gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on The fol­lo­wing notes pro­vi­de a simp­le over­view of what hap­pens to your per­so­nal data when you visit this web­site. Per­so­nal data means all data that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy you. Detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on on data pro­tec­tion can be found in our pri­va­cy poli­cy set out below this text. Data coll­ec­tion on this web­site Who is respon­si­ble for data coll­ec­tion on this web­site? Data pro­ces­sing on this web­site is car­ri­ed out by the web­site ope­ra­tor. Their cont­act details can be found in the sec­tion “Infor­ma­ti­on on the con­trol­ler” in this pri­va­cy poli­cy. How do we coll­ect your data? Your data is coll­ec­ted, first­ly, when you pro­vi­de it to us. This may, for exam­p­le, be data that you enter into a cont­act form. Other data is coll­ec­ted auto­ma­ti­cal­ly or with your con­sent when you visit the web­site by our IT sys­tems. This is pri­ma­ri­ly tech­ni­cal data (e.g. inter­net brow­ser, ope­ra­ting sys­tem or time of the page view). This data is coll­ec­ted auto­ma­ti­cal­ly as soon as you enter this web­site. What do we use your data for? Part of the data is coll­ec­ted to ensu­re error-free pro­vi­si­on of the web­site. Other data may be used to ana­ly­se your user beha­viour. What rights do you have regar­ding your data? You have the right at any time to recei­ve, free of char­ge, infor­ma­ti­on about the ori­gin, reci­pi­ents and pur­po­se of your stored per­so­nal data. You also have the right to request the rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on or dele­ti­on of this data. If you have given con­sent to data pro­ces­sing, you may with­draw this con­sent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under cer­tain cir­cum­s­tances, to request rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data. Fur­ther­mo­re, you have the right to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty. You can cont­act us at any time with regard to this and any other ques­ti­ons on the sub­ject of data pro­tec­tion. Ana­ly­tics tools and third-par­ty tools When you visit this web­site, your brow­sing beha­viour may be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly eva­lua­ted. This hap­pens main­ly with so-cal­led ana­ly­tics pro­grams. Detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on on the­se ana­ly­tics pro­grams can be found in the fol­lo­wing pri­va­cy poli­cy.

3. GENERAL INFORMATION AND MANDATORY DISCLOSURES

Data pro­tec­tion The ope­ra­tors of the­se pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­so­nal data very serious­ly. We hand­le your per­so­nal data con­fi­den­ti­al­ly and in accordance with sta­tu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons as well as this pri­va­cy poli­cy. When you use this web­site, various per­so­nal data is coll­ec­ted. Per­so­nal data is data that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy you. This pri­va­cy poli­cy explains what data we coll­ect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what pur­po­se this hap­pens. We point out that data trans­mis­si­on on the inter­net (e.g. com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on by email) may have secu­ri­ty gaps. Com­ple­te pro­tec­tion of data against access by third par­ties is not pos­si­ble. Infor­ma­ti­on on the con­trol­ler The con­trol­ler respon­si­ble for data pro­ces­sing on this web­site is: RN Ener­gie Hol­ding GmbH Fried­rich-List-Platz 1 • 04103 Leip­zig Pho­ne: +49 (0) 341 994 033 0 Email: gerd.belusa@rn-energies.com The con­trol­ler is the natu­ral or legal per­son who, alo­ne or joint­ly with others, deter­mi­nes the pur­po­ses and means of pro­ces­sing per­so­nal data (e.g. names, email addres­ses, etc.). Sto­rage peri­od Unless a more spe­ci­fic sto­rage peri­od has been spe­ci­fied within this pri­va­cy poli­cy, your per­so­nal data will remain with us until the pur­po­se for data pro­ces­sing no lon­ger appli­es. If you make a legi­ti­ma­te request for dele­ti­on or with­draw your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing, your data will be dele­ted unless we have other legal­ly per­mis­si­ble grounds for sto­ring your per­so­nal data (e.g. reten­ti­on peri­ods under tax or com­mer­cial law); in the lat­ter case, dele­ti­on takes place after the­se grounds cea­se to app­ly. Noti­ce on data trans­fer to the USA and other third count­ries Our web­site includes tools from com­pa­nies based in the USA or other non-secu­re third count­ries from a data pro­tec­tion per­spec­ti­ve. If the­se tools are acti­ve, your per­so­nal data may be trans­fer­red to and pro­ces­sed in the­se third count­ries. We note that no level of data pro­tec­tion com­pa­ra­ble to that in the EU can be gua­ran­teed in the­se count­ries. For exam­p­le, US com­pa­nies are requi­red to hand over per­so­nal data to secu­ri­ty aut­ho­ri­ties wit­hout you being able to take legal action against this as a data sub­ject. It can the­r­e­fo­re not be excluded that US aut­ho­ri­ties (e.g. intel­li­gence ser­vices) pro­cess, eva­lua­te and per­ma­nent­ly store your data loca­ted on US ser­vers for moni­to­ring pur­po­ses. We have no influence on the­se pro­ces­sing acti­vi­ties. With­dra­wal of your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing Many data pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are only pos­si­ble with your expli­cit con­sent. You may with­draw con­sent you have alre­a­dy given at any time. The lawful­ness of the data pro­ces­sing car­ri­ed out up to the with­dra­wal remains unaf­fec­ted by the with­dra­wal. Right to object to data pro­ces­sing in spe­ci­fic cases and to direct mar­ke­ting (Art. 21 GDPR) If data pro­ces­sing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds rela­ting to your par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on, to object to the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data; this also appli­es to pro­fil­ing based on the­se pro­vi­si­ons. The respec­ti­ve legal basis on which pro­ces­sing is based can be found in this pri­va­cy poli­cy. If you object, we will no lon­ger pro­cess your affec­ted per­so­nal data unless we can demons­tra­te com­pel­ling legi­ti­ma­te grounds for the pro­ces­sing which over­ri­de your inte­rests, rights and free­doms or the pro­ces­sing ser­ves the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims (objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21(1) GDPR). Whe­re your per­so­nal data is pro­ces­sed for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses, you have the right to object at any time to pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning you for such mar­ke­ting; this also appli­es to pro­fil­ing to the ext­ent that it is rela­ted to such direct mar­ke­ting. If you object, your per­so­nal data will sub­se­quent­ly no lon­ger be used for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses (objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21(2) GDPR). Right to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty In the event of inf­rin­ge­ments of the GDPR, data sub­jects have a right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty, in par­ti­cu­lar in the Mem­ber Sta­te of their habi­tu­al resi­dence, place of work or the place of the alle­ged inf­rin­ge­ment. The right to lodge a com­plaint exists wit­hout pre­ju­di­ce to any other admi­nis­tra­ti­ve or judi­cial reme­dies. Right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty You have the right to have data that we pro­cess on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­film­ent of a con­tract deli­ver­ed to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon­ly used, machi­ne-rea­da­ble for­mat. If you request the direct trans­fer of the data to ano­ther con­trol­ler, this will only be done whe­re tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble. SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on For secu­ri­ty reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent, such as orders or enqui­ries that you send to us as the site ope­ra­tor, this site uses SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on. You can reco­g­ni­se an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by the fact that the address line of the brow­ser chan­ges from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock sym­bol in your brow­ser line. If SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on is acti­va­ted, the data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third par­ties. Access, dele­ti­on and rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on Within the frame­work of the appli­ca­ble legal pro­vi­si­ons, you have the right at any time to obtain free infor­ma­ti­on about your stored per­so­nal data, its ori­gin and reci­pi­ents and the pur­po­se of the data pro­ces­sing and, whe­re appli­ca­ble, a right to rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on or dele­ti­on of this data. You can cont­act us at any time with regard to this and other ques­ti­ons on the sub­ject of per­so­nal data. Right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data. You can cont­act us at any time for this pur­po­se. The right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing exists in the fol­lo­wing cases:

• If you con­test the accu­ra­cy of your per­so­nal data stored by us, we usual­ly need time to veri­fy this. For the dura­ti­on of veri­fi­ca­ti­on, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.
• If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was/is unlawful, you may request rest­ric­tion of data pro­ces­sing ins­tead of dele­ti­on.
• If we no lon­ger need your per­so­nal data, but you need it for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing ins­tead of dele­ti­on.
• If you have objec­ted pur­su­ant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balan­ce must be struck bet­ween your inte­rests and ours. As long as it has not been deter­mi­ned who­se inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to request rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

If you have rest­ric­ted the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, such data—apart from storage—may only be pro­ces­sed with your con­sent or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims or for the pro­tec­tion of the rights of ano­ther natu­ral or legal per­son or for reasons of important public inte­rest of the Euro­pean Uni­on or a Mem­ber Sta­te.

4. DATA COLLECTION ON THIS WEBSITE

Coo­kies Our inter­net pages use so-cal­led “coo­kies”. Coo­kies are small text files and do not cau­se any dama­ge to your end device. They are eit­her stored tem­po­r­a­ri­ly for the dura­ti­on of a ses­si­on (ses­si­on coo­kies) or per­ma­nent­ly (per­ma­nent coo­kies) on your end device. Ses­si­on coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted after your visit. Per­ma­nent coo­kies remain stored on your end device until you dele­te them yours­elf or your web brow­ser dele­tes them auto­ma­ti­cal­ly. Third-par­ty coo­kies may also be stored on your end device when you enter our site (third-par­ty coo­kies). The­se enable us or you to use cer­tain ser­vices of the third-par­ty com­pa­ny (e.g. coo­kies for pro­ces­sing pay­ment ser­vices). Coo­kies have dif­fe­rent func­tions. Many coo­kies are tech­ni­cal­ly neces­sa­ry becau­se cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work wit­hout them (e.g. the shop­ping bas­ket func­tion or the dis­play of vide­os). Other coo­kies are used to eva­lua­te user beha­viour or to dis­play adver­ti­sing. Coo­kies neces­sa­ry for the elec­tro­nic com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on pro­cess (neces­sa­ry coo­kies), for the pro­vi­si­on of cer­tain func­tions you desi­re (func­tion­al coo­kies, e.g. for the shop­ping bas­ket func­tion) or for opti­mi­sing the web­site (e.g. coo­kies for mea­su­ring the web audi­ence) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless ano­ther legal basis is spe­ci­fied. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the sto­rage of coo­kies for the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mi­sed pro­vi­si­on of its ser­vices. Whe­re con­sent to the sto­rage of coo­kies has been reques­ted, the rele­vant coo­kies are stored exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of this con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); con­sent can be with­drawn at any time. You can set your brow­ser to inform you about the set­ting of coo­kies and to allow coo­kies only in indi­vi­du­al cases, to exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral, and to acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when clo­sing the brow­ser. If coo­kies are deac­ti­va­ted, the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site may be limi­t­ed. Whe­re coo­kies from third-par­ty com­pa­nies or for ana­ly­sis pur­po­ses are used, we will inform you about this sepa­ra­te­ly within this pri­va­cy poli­cy and, if neces­sa­ry, request your con­sent. Cont­act form If you send us enqui­ries via the cont­act form, your details from the enquiry form, inclu­ding the cont­act details you pro­vi­de the­re, will be stored by us for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing the enquiry and in case of fol­low-up ques­ti­ons. We do not pass on this data wit­hout your con­sent. The pro­ces­sing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the enqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if reques­ted. The data you enter in the cont­act form will remain with us until you ask us to dele­te it, with­draw your con­sent to sto­rage, or the pur­po­se for data sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es (e.g. after your enquiry has been pro­ces­sed). Man­da­to­ry sta­tu­to­ry provisions—especially reten­ti­on periods—remain unaf­fec­ted. Enquiry by email, tele­pho­ne or fax If you cont­act us by email, tele­pho­ne or fax, your enquiry, inclu­ding all per­so­nal data ari­sing from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and pro­ces­sed by us for the pur­po­se of hand­ling your request. We do not pass on this data wit­hout your con­sent. The pro­ces­sing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve hand­ling of the enqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if reques­ted. The data sent to us via cont­act enqui­ries will remain with us until you request dele­ti­on, with­draw your con­sent to sto­rage or the pur­po­se for data sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es (e.g. after your request has been pro­ces­sed). Man­da­to­ry sta­tu­to­ry provisions—especially sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on periods—remain unaf­fec­ted.

5. PLUG-INS AND TOOLS

Goog­le Web Fonts This site uses so-cal­led web fonts pro­vi­ded by Goog­le for the uni­form dis­play of fonts. When you call up a page, your brow­ser loads the requi­red web fonts into its cache to dis­play texts and fonts cor­rect­ly. For this pur­po­se, the brow­ser you use must con­nect to Google’s ser­vers. In this way, Goog­le beco­mes awa­re that our web­site was acces­sed via your IP address. The use of Goog­le Web Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the uni­form pre­sen­ta­ti­on of the type­face on its web­site. Whe­re cor­re­spon­ding con­sent has been reques­ted (e.g. con­sent to store coo­kies), pro­ces­sing is based exclu­si­ve­ly on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; con­sent can be with­drawn at any time. If your brow­ser does not sup­port web fonts, a stan­dard font from your com­pu­ter will be used. Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on about Goog­le Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s pri­va­cy poli­cy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Font Awe­so­me (local hos­ting) This site uses Font Awe­so­me for uni­form pre­sen­ta­ti­on of fonts. Font Awe­so­me is instal­led local­ly. No con­nec­tion is made to ser­vers of Fon­ti­cons, Inc. Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on about Font Awe­so­me can be found in the Font Awe­so­me pri­va­cy poli­cy at https://fontawesome.com/privacy. Goog­le Maps This site uses the Goog­le Maps map ser­vice. The pro­vi­der is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land. To use the func­tions of Goog­le Maps, it is neces­sa­ry to store your IP address. This infor­ma­ti­on is usual­ly trans­mit­ted to a Goog­le ser­ver in the USA and stored the­re. The pro­vi­der of this site has no influence on this data trans­fer. If Goog­le Maps is acti­va­ted, Goog­le may use Goog­le Web Fonts for the uni­form dis­play of fonts. When you call up Goog­le Maps, your brow­ser loads the requi­red web fonts into its cache to dis­play texts and fonts cor­rect­ly. The use of Goog­le Maps is in the inte­rest of an appe­al­ing pre­sen­ta­ti­on of our online ser­vices and to make it easy to find the loca­ti­ons indi­ca­ted on the web­site. This con­sti­tu­tes a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest within the mea­ning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Whe­re cor­re­spon­ding con­sent has been reques­ted, pro­ces­sing is based exclu­si­ve­ly on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; con­sent can be with­drawn at any time. Data trans­fer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Stan­dard Con­trac­tu­al Clau­ses. Details can be found in Google’s docu­men­ta­ti­on. More infor­ma­ti­on on the hand­ling of user data can be found in Google’s pri­va­cy poli­cy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Goog­le reCAPTCHA We use “Goog­le reCAPTCHA” (“reCAPTCHA”) on this web­site. The pro­vi­der is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land. reCAPTCHA is used to check whe­ther data ente­red on this web­site (e.g. in a cont­act form) is made by a human or by an auto­ma­ted pro­gram. For this pur­po­se, reCAPTCHA ana­ly­ses the beha­viour of the web­site visi­tor based on various cha­rac­te­ristics. This ana­ly­sis beg­ins auto­ma­ti­cal­ly as soon as the web­site visi­tor enters the web­site. For ana­ly­sis, reCAPTCHA eva­lua­tes various infor­ma­ti­on (e.g. IP address, time spent on the web­site, or mou­se move­ments made by the user). The data coll­ec­ted during the ana­ly­sis is for­ward­ed to Goog­le. The reCAPTCHA ana­ly­ses run enti­re­ly in the back­ground. Web­site visi­tors are not infor­med that an ana­ly­sis is taking place. Data sto­rage and ana­ly­sis are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in pro­tec­ting its web offe­rings from abu­si­ve auto­ma­ted spy­ing and from spam. Whe­re cor­re­spon­ding con­sent has been reques­ted, pro­ces­sing is based exclu­si­ve­ly on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; con­sent can be with­drawn at any time. Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on Goog­le reCAPTCHA can be found in Google’s data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­si­ons and terms of use at the fol­lo­wing links: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/terms.
