In order to use these, you will have to provide additional personal data that we will use to provide the service and that will be subject to the foregoing guidelines governing data processing.
(2) We collect and store the personal data you provide solely for internal use (as controller) and for our own purposes. The controller may initiate the transmission of such data to one or more data processors (e.g. a delivery service), which would also only use the personal data internally (on behalf of the controller).
(3) When registering on the controller s website, the IP address provided by the internet service provider (ISP) of the person concerned and the time and date of registration are also recorded. The purpose of storing such data is that this is the only way we can prevent misuse of our services, and they also allow for investigating criminal activities when necessary. In this regard, these data need to be stored in order for the controller s security purposes. Generally, these data are not transmitted to third parties unless we have a legal obligation to disclose them or such disclosure is necessary for criminal investigation.
(4) We employ third party service providers for processing your data. In the course of our data processing activity, we disclose, transmit or otherwise provide access to data to other persons and companies (data processors and third parties), however this may only take place if we are legally authorised to do so (e.g. disclosure of the data to a third party – e.g. a payment service provider – is necessary for the performance of a contract as per Article 6(1) of the GDPR), if we have your consent, if we have a statutory obligation to do so or if it is based on our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web servers, etc.).
(5) If we mandate a third party to process data based on a so-called “data processing contract”, we will do so in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. We select and contract such third parties exercising due care, they must act in accordance with our instructions and we regularly check them.
(6) In addition, we may disclose your personal data to third parties if we offer promotions, contests, contracts or similar services jointly with partners. You will be informed in more detail regarding this when you submit your personal data or at the description of the service below.

Otherwise, we only process data or employ processors in third countries if the conditions set out in Article 44 of the GDPR are met.
Section 6. Legal basis of the processing
(1) Article 6(1) of the GDPR provides the legal basis for our company to conduct data processing activities, in the course of which we obtain consent for a specific data processing purpose. If the personal data need to be processed in order for the performance of a contract, the data subject is party to which (such as in the case of processing operations necessary for delivering goods or providing other services or remunerations), this will take place based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
(2) This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual tasks, e.g. for inquiries regarding our products and services.
(3) If our company is obliged by law to process personal data (for example with respect to the fulfilment of tax obligations), this will take place based on Section 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
(4) In some cases, processing of the personal data may be necessary in order for protecting the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This could be the case if, for example, one of our guests had been injured in our plant and we needed to disclose their name, age, insurance data or other vital information to a physician, a hospital or another third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.
(5) In addition, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR may also provide a legal basis for processing operations. Processing operations not falling under any other legal basis set out above are conducted on this legal basis, when the processing is necessary for protecting the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, unless the data subject s interests, fundamental rights and freedoms supersede the foregoing. We are allowed to conduct such processing operations because the European legislator specifically mentioned them. In this regard, the legislator s position is that the legitimate interest must be taken into account of the person concerned is a client of the controller (2nd sentence of recital 47 of the GDPR).
(6) If the personal data are processed based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, the business activity conducted in order for the well-being of all our employees and owners is considered to be our legitimate interest.
Section 7. Blocking of the processing of your data and withdrawal of consent
(1) If you consented to the processing of your data, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Such withdrawal will affect our right to process your personal data as of the time you revoke your consent.
(2) If we process your personal data based on the balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case in particular if the processing does not take place in order for performance of the contract concluded with you (we will explain this in more detail at the description of the services). If you object to this, please notify us regarding what your issue is regarding the processing of your personal data. If you specify the reasons of your objection, we will examine the facts and either suspend or alter the processing or inform you regarding our legitimate reasons based on which we process the data.
(3) You may block the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis at any time. You may inform us regarding your wish to block processing for advertising purposes at the following contact points: Krisztian Molnar, ABARAD.eu Schönhardter Strasse 3, 73560 Böbingen an der Rems, Germany, phone: 0049 7173 9258383, fax: 0049 7173 9258384, Email: admin@abarad.de.
