3. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection provisions and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data means data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information about the controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Kies Sàrl-S
rue de Sanem 59
L-4382 Ehlerange
Telephone: +352661247015
Email: info@lavey.lu
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar information.
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for erasure or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data, such as retention periods under tax or commercial law. In the latter case, erasure takes place once these grounds no longer apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing also takes place on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your terminal device, for example through device fingerprinting, processing additionally takes place on the basis of Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required to fulfil a contract or carry out pre-contractual measures, we process it on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation. Processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The following paragraphs of this privacy policy provide information on the legal bases applicable in each case.
Information about data transfers to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure from a data protection perspective. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as a data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities, such as intelligence services, may process, analyse and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in particular cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(e) OR (f) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IS SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 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, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it provided to a third party. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only insofar as it is technically feasible.
Access, rectification and erasure
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure. You may contact us at any time about this or any other questions concerning personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. You have the right to request restriction of processing for the duration of the verification.
- If processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
- If you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it has been established whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If processing of your personal data has been restricted, that data may, apart from being stored, be processed only with your consent or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies
Our websites use cookies. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or your browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain third-party services to be integrated into websites, such as cookies for processing payment services.
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as the shopping cart function or displaying videos. Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies necessary to carry out electronic communications, provide certain functions you have requested, such as a shopping cart function, or optimise the website, such as cookies for measuring web audiences (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimised manner. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance in specific cases or generally, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.
Information about which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries using the contact form, we store the information in the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide, to process the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose of storage no longer applies, for example after we have finished processing your enquiry. Mandatory legal provisions, particularly retention periods, remain unaffected.
Enquiries by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, we store and process your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and enquiry, to deal with your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Data you send us in contact enquiries remains with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose of storage no longer applies, for example after your request has been fully dealt with. Mandatory legal provisions, particularly statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
5. Social media
Elements of the social network Facebook are integrated into this website. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
An overview of Facebook’s social media elements is available here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.
When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your terminal device and Facebook’s server. Facebook thereby receives information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link content from this website to your Facebook profile. This enables Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by Facebook. Further information is available in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.
Where consent has been obtained, use of the above service is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Where no consent has been obtained, use of the service is based on our legitimate interest in achieving the broadest possible visibility on social media.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this processing (Article 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. Processing by Facebook after transfer is not part of this joint responsibility. Our joint obligations have been set out in an agreement on joint processing, available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. Under this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing it on our website in a manner that complies with data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can exercise data subject rights, such as requests for access, relating to data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you exercise these rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details are available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 and https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
6. Plugins and tools
YouTube with enhanced privacy
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. YouTube therefore establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
After you start a video, YouTube may also store various cookies on your terminal device or use comparable recognition technologies, such as device fingerprinting. This enables YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud.
Starting a YouTube video may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no influence.
YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online services in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where the relevant consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device, such as device fingerprinting, within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Further information about data protection at YouTube is available in its privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
