General Information

The term personal data is defined in the article 4 no. 1 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to it, personal data is all the information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your real name, your address, your telephone number or your birthdate.

Unless described otherwise in the following sections, principally, no personal data is collected, processed or used upon using our websites.  

Legal basis for the processing of the personal data

Provided we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6 section 1 lit. a of (GDPR) acts as the legal basis.

In case the processing of your personal data is required to fulfil a contract between you and TAB, the Article 6 section 1 lit. b of GDPR acts as the legal basis. This also applies to processing procedures that are required to execute the pre-contractual actions.

Provided, processing of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation that governs TAB, Article 6 section 1 lit. c of GDPR acts as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the concerned person or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, the Article 6 section 1 lit. d of GDPR acts as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of TAB d.d. or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, then the Article 6 section 1 lit. f of GDPR acts as the legal basis for the processing. 

Data deletion and duration of storage

Your personal data is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage is inapplicable. Data can furthermore be stored if it was stipulated by the European or national legislative body in regulations, laws or other specifications of the union to which the responsible party is liable.

Initial provider cookies
These types of cookies are placed by the website, which the user is visiting. Only this website may read the information from these cookies.

Connection of services and third party contents

We point out at this point that third party contents (videos of YouTube, map data of Google Maps or graphics of other websites) can be implemented within this online content. A prerequisite for the use of these services is that the providers of these contents (hereinafter as “Third Party Providers”) obtain the IP address of the user. The reason for this is that the contents cannot be sent to the browser of the respective user without the IP address and subsequently it would not be possible to display the content.

We have no influence on whether and to what extent the third party providers store the IP address. If we should be informed about this, the users will be notified. 

Social Media

The social bookmarks (e.g. of Facebook, Linkedin, and Instagram) are integrated on our website. Social bookmarks are internet bookmarks with which the users of such a service can collect links and news items. They are embedded on our website merely as links to the corresponding services. Upon clicking the embedded graphic, you are redirected to the site of the corresponding provider, i.e. only then is the user information transferred to the respective provider. You can find information about the handling of your personal data when using these websites from the respective privacy provisions of the provider.

We use the following services:

Share Buttons


In our news section we use so-called “sharing buttons” with the Shariff method.
These buttons establish direct contact between the social network and the visitor only when the latter actively clicks on the “Share” button. If the user is already logged in to a social network, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn do so without another window.


With the Shariff method, TAB takes the data protection interests of its visitors into account as far as is possible according to the current state of the art.

“Shariff” was developed by specialists from the computer magazine c’t to provide more privacy on the net and to replace the usual “share” buttons of social networks.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins of YouTube for integration and display of video contents. The provider of the video portal is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you access a website with the integrated YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. YouTube thus finds out which of our websites have you accessed.

YouTube can directly allocate your surfing behaviour to your personal profile if you are directly logged in to your YouTube account. You can prevent this by first logging out.

YouTube is used for the purpose of an appealing display of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest in accordance to Article 6 section 1 lit. f of GDPR. Particulars on handling of user data can be found in the privacy statement of YouTube under:
https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google Maps

Google AdWords & Conversion Tracking

In order to call attention to our services, we place Google Adwords advertisements and use the Google conversion tracking in this context for the purpose of a personalised, interest and location relevant online advertisement. The option to make the IP addresses anonymous is managed in the Google Tag Manager using an internal setting that is not visible in the source of this site. This internal setting is set such that the anonymisation of the IP addresses necessitated by the Federal Data Protection Act is achieved.

The advertisements are inserted according to the search queries on the websites of Google advertising network

It is possible for us to combine our advertisements with certain search terms. With the help of cookies, we can place advertisements based on the previous visits of a user to our website. A cookie is placed on the computer of the user by Google upon clicking on an advertisement. You can also find further information on the inserted cookie technology in the notices of Google for the Website statistics and in the Privacy provisions.

With the help of this technology, Google and we as customers, receive information about the fact that a user has clicked on an advertisement and was redirected to our website. The information acquired while doing this is exclusively used for a statistical analysis for advertisement optimisation. We do not get any information with which the visitor can be personally identified. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our advertisements and, if required, whether they were redirected to a page of our website furnished with a conversion tag. By means of these statistics, we can understand, for which search terms was our advertisement clicked most often and which advertisements lead to the user contacting us through the contact form.

If you do not want this, you can stop the storage of the cookie required for these technologies through, for example your browser settings. In this case, your visit does not enter in the user statistics.

In addition, you have the option to select the types of Google advertisements or disable interest based advertisements on Google through the ad settings. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third party providers by accessing the disabling assistance of the Network Advertising Initiative.

We and Google however continue to receive the statistical information of how many users visited this site and when. If you do not want to be taken in these statistics as well, you can prevent this with the help of additional programmes for your browser (for example, with the Add-on Ghostery).

While exercising this right, you further have the right to the effect that the personal data concerning you is directly transferred from one responsible party to another responsible party, provided it is technically feasible. Liberties and rights of other persons must not be affected by it.

If the personal data concerning you is processed to run a direct advertising, you have the right to appeal at any time against the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of such promotion; this also applies for the profiling, provided it is in connection with such direct advertising. If you object the processing for the purposes of direct advertising, then the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the option, to exercise your right to objection in the context of the use of services of the information society – irrespective of the 2002/58/EC guideline – by means of automatic procedures, where technical specifications are used.

8. Right to revocation of declaration of consent under the data privacy law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data privacy law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing that has happened based on the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right to not be subjected to a decision exclusively based on an automated processing – including profiling, that takes legal effect with respect to you or considerably affects you in a similar manner. This does not apply when the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the responsible party,
  2. is permissible by virtue of the legislations of the union or member states, which govern the responsible party and these legislations include appropriate measures for the protection of your rights and liberties and your legitimate interests or
  3. happens with your express consent.
     

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data under Article 9 section 1 of GDPR, provided Article 9 section 2 lit. a or g of GDPR does not apply and appropriate measures for the protection of rights and liberties as well as your legitimate interests are taken. With respect to the cases stated in (1) and (3), the responsible party takes appropriate measures to protect the rights and liberties and your legitimate interests, to which, at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the responsible party, to state one’s own stand point and to contest a decision pertains.

10. Right of complain to a supervisory authority

Regardless of an administrative or judicial remedy otherwise, you are entitled to the right of complaining to a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of your residence, your workplace or the location of presumed infringement, if you are of the view that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint was filed, informs the plaintiff about the status and the results of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Article 78 of GDPR.
