pbe energietechnik gmbh
Finienweg 7
28832 Achim

Phone: 49 (0) 42 02 758 – 200

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided there are no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods). In such cases, deletion occurs once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis of Data Processing

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, where special categories of data according to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of an explicit 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 device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing also takes place based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is necessary for contract fulfillment or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required to comply with a legal obligation, based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also occur on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each case is detailed in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transmission of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer.

When using processors (data processors), we only provide our customers’ personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The legal basis for each processing activity is provided in this privacy policy.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Deletion

Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data. For these matters or further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. This right applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, we generally need time to verify it. During this period, you may request restriction of processing.
• If processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
• If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance between your interests and ours must be made. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you may request restriction of processing.

Restricted data may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important public interests of the European Union or a member state.
