Privacy policy

I. Name and address of the person responsible

The data controller for this website is:

food gallery GmbH
Frankfurt Airport Center (FAC) 1
Gebäude Teil C, 7. OG
Hugo-Eckener-Ring
60549 Frankfurt
Deutschland

E-mail: info@food-gallery.de

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

II. General information on data processing

1. Scope and purpose of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. Therefore, the processing of the personal data of our users is regularly only carried out after the user's consent (e.g., through the use of a cookie banner). However, an exception applies when obtaining prior consent is impossible for factual reasons and legal regulations permit the data processing.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the data subject's consent for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and the storage period

The data subject's data shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned above expires unless there is a necessity for the continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

4. Data transfer to third parties, processors and joint controllers

We only transfer personal data if the transfer is lawful under applicable data protection laws. This may be the case, for example, if we are obliged by law to transmit data to (investigative) authorities. However, the transfer also occurs when we transfer personal data to processors or share it with joint controllers.

Suppose it is possible or even required by law. In that case, every data transfer is recorded in writing and regulated by clearly defined rights and obligations. This means, for example, that we enter into contracts with our processors to help protect your data.

If a data transfer takes place, you will be informed accordingly.

III. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system (and possibly also the system of our hosting provider) automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

As a rule, the following data is collected:

- Information about the type of browser and the version used
- The user's operating system
- The user's internet service provider
- The IP address of the user
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
- Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website


This data is also stored in the log files of our system. This does not include the user's full IP address or other data that enables the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.


2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for temporarily storing the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.


3. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the session.

The storage of log files is done to ensure the website's functionality. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not occur in this context.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing, according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.


4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For example, in the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. The reason for storage is various security reasons (e.g., to solve criminal offences) - for this reason, storage beyond this is possible. Furthermore, if the data is stored elsewhere, the users' IP addresses are deleted or alienated, so assigning the calling client is no longer possible.


5. Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is necessary for the website's operation. Consequently, the user cannot object.


6. Use of cookies

Description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. A cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change (e.g., Log-in information, website settings, etc.).

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.


Purpose of data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. However, some functions of our website cannot be offered without cookies. For these, the browser must be recognised even after a page change.

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the personal data following Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and for analysis purposes following Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Duration of storage, the possibility of objection and elimination.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, as a user, you also have full control over cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated from our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.


7. Contacting

Whenever we are contacted (e.g., by e-mail, telephone or via social media), the user's details are used to process the specific contact enquiry and its handling following Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. (in the context of contractual/pre-contractual relations), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. (other enquiries) GDPR. Furthermore, we would like to point out that the data may be stored in a computer/software system (e.g., in a "CRM system"). The storage in a computer/software system optimizes and accelerates our processes (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

We delete the data as soon as it is no longer required. Check the necessity every two years (the necessity of the storage can also be given by legal regulations).


8. Contact form and e-mail contact

Description and scope of data processing

A contact form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:

• Name
• Company
• Address
• Phone number
• E-mail

The following data will also be stored at the time the message is sent:

• The user‘s IP address
• Date and time of registration

For the data processing, your consent is obtained during the submission process and reference is made to this privacy policy.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. Instead, the data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.


Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Suppose the e-mail contact is aimed at concluding a contract. In that case, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.


Purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The other personal data processed during the submission process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.


Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail when the conversation with the user has ended. The conversation ends when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter has been clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after seven days.


Possibility of objection and removal

The user can revoke his consent to processing personal data at any time. For example, if the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to storing his data anytime. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

The revocation of consent must be sent to us in writing (our contact details can be found above - name and address of the person responsible).

All personal data stored while contacting us will be deleted in this case.


Facebook

Based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, social media plugins from Facebook are used on our website to make their use more personal. We use the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button. Again, this is an offer from Facebook.

Facebook has taken technical and organisational measures to ensure data subjects' rights and personal data protection.

When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. As a result, the plugin's content is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the website.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.

Facebook may use this information for advertising, market research and the needs-based design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g., to evaluate your use of our website concerning the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, inform other users about your activities on our website, and provide other services associated with the use of Facebook.

Suppose you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website to your account. In that case, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

Suppose a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him or her via this online offering and link it to his or her membership data stored with Facebook. In that case, he or she must log out of Facebook and delete his or her cookies before using our online offering. Further settings and objections to using data for advertising are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e., applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
