Protecting your personal data is important to us. This is why we carry out our activities in accordance with the applicable legal regulations for the protection of personal data and data security. Below, you will find information on data protection for our website.

Definition of terms
The data protection declaration of Glen Dimplex Deutschland GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European directive issuing body and regulators in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we will explain some of the terms used below. The following terms are used in this data protection declaration:

a) Personal details
Personal details are all information relating to an identified or identifiable person (referred to in the following as “affected person”). The term identifiable refers to a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular through connection to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online ID or one or multiple unique features that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.

b) Affected person
An affected person is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal details are processed by the person responsible for processing.

c) Processing
Processing refers to any process carried out with or without the help of automated methods or any such series of processes in connection with personal details, such as collecting, logging, organising, sorting, saving, amending or changing, reading out, querying, using, publishing by sending or distribution, or any other form of supplying the information, comparing or linking, restricting, deleting or destroying the information.

d) Limiting the processing
Limiting processing involves marking saved personal details with the goal of limiting their future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal details, where these personal details are used to evaluate specific personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects connected to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, whereabouts or changes in location of this natural person.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal details in such a way that the personal details can no longer be linked to a specific affected person without additional information, providing this additional information is stored separately and technical and organisational measures are in place to ensure that the personal details are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Responsible person or person responsible for processing
A responsible person or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, organisation or other entity responsible for making decisions regarding the purpose and means of processing personal details, either alone or as a collective.

h) Order processor
An order processor is a natural or legal person, authority, organisation or other entity responsible for processing personal details on behalf of the responsible person.

i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, organisation or other entity who receives personal details, regardless of whether or not they are a third party. Authorities, who receive personal details as part of an investigation request in accordance with European Union law or the law of the member states, are not regarded as recipients, however.

j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, organisation or other entity apart from the affected person, the responsible person, the order processor and the persons authorised to process personal details under the direct authority of the responsible person or the order processor.

k) Consent
Consent is any notification of intent given for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous way in the form of a declaration or other clearly confirming action, with which the affected person states that they consent to the relevant personal details being processed.

The use of your e-mail address, telephone and/or mobile number and fax number for the purposes of advertising or market and opinion research requires separate consent. You can give this consent electronically when entering your details and revoke it at any time for the future. If you are no longer happy for your personal details to be stored or if these details are no longer correct, we will arrange for your details to be deleted on request (where possible according to the valid law), for your details to be blocked or for the necessary corrections to be made.

14. Rights of the affected person
a) Right to information
b) Right to correction
c) Right to deletion (right to be forgotten)
d) Right to limited processing
e) Right to data portability
f) Right of appeal
g) Right to revoke consent given in line with data protection regulations

15. Legal basis for processing
a) Consent
Our company uses Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR as a legal basis for processing methods, for which we obtain consent for a specific purpose.

b) Fulfilling an agreement
If it is necessary to process personal details in order to fulfil an agreement, where a contractual party is the affected person, as with processing methods required for delivering goods or providing a different service or return service, for example, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR.

c) Precontractual measures
The same applies for processing methods required to carry out precontractual measures, such as for processing enquiries relating to our products or services.

d) Legal obligations
If our company is subject to a contractual obligation which makes it necessary to process personal details,for fulfilling tax obligations, for example, the processing is carried out based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.

e) Vital interests of the affected parties
In rare cases, it may become necessary to process personal details to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The details would be processed based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR in this case.

f) Justified interests of our company
Finally, processing methods may be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing methods are carried out on this legal basis if they are not covered by any of the legal bases outlined above, if the processing is necessary to preserve a justified interest of our company or a third party, providing the interests are not outweighed by the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the affected party. We are authorised to carry out these processing methods in particular because they have been specifically referred to by the European legislator. The legislator maintained that a justified interest could be assumed if the affected person is a customer of the responsible party (Recital 47 Paragraph 2 GDPR). If the processing of personal data is based on 6 I lit. f GDPR, our justified interest is carrying out our business activity for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

16. Retention period for personal data
The relevant legal retention period is the criteria dictating how long personal details are stored for. Once this retention period has elapsed, the relevant details are deleted routinely, providing they do not need to be retained to fulfil the agreement or for contract initiation or for enforcing, executing or defending legal claims.

17. Use of automated decision making
As a responsible company, we refrain from using automated decision making or profiling.

18. Social media presence

We operate pages and profiles on various social media platforms. In this context, personal data is processed as described below.

If you interact with us via our social media presence or our posts, we will collect and process the information you provide, including your user name and any profile photos, for example, if you ‘like’, share or ‘retweet’ a post, comment on it or provide other content. The relevant data processing is carried out regularly on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the corresponding functions on our social media pages (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and, if applicable, on your consent to the operator of the respective network (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or your contractual relationship with the operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Please also note that this content will be published on our relevant social media pages in accordance with your account settings and may be accessed by anyone worldwide.

Further data processing by us may take place in order to receive and process enquiries or messages via our social media pages (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

In addition, the respective operators collect and process personal data from you under their own data protection responsibility when you visit our social media pages and/or interact with them or our posts. This applies in particular if you are registered or logged in to the relevant network.
