If you contact her, ADWM GmbH will save and process the information you provide for the purpose of processing your request and for possible follow-up questions.

This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. ADWM GmbH points out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps.

​

basic principles

ADWM GmbH takes the protection of your data very seriously. Your data is therefore processed with great care and in strict compliance with the applicable data protection laws. This website is protected against the risks involved in the processing of personal data using the technically and organizationally necessary security measures. 

​

What is logged by default

You can use all non-access protected parts of this website without disclosing your identity.

By default, every use of the website is logged in order to eliminate malfunctions and clarify security incidents. More about the log data can be found in the chapter "How ADWM GmbH processes your data".

​

What permission ADWM GmbH has to process your data

ADWM GmbH respects your privacy. ADWM GmbH only processes your data if it has permission to do so. Of course, you can give ADWM GmbH permission to process your data by consenting to the processing of your data on this website. In other cases, ADWM GmbH processes your data on the basis of legal permission. For example, if you register for events on this website, ADWM GmbH may process your data to fulfill the contract. The same applies if you use other services on this website that require the processing of your data. ADWM GmbH may also process your data if it has a legitimate interest in doing so. An example of this is the log data that is collected in order, among other things, to enable the trouble-free operation of this website. In any case, ADWM GmbH will inform you about the corresponding processing of your data and of course your interests will always be taken into account with every processing. Should you ever have cause for complaint, you will find your rights with regard to the processing of your data in the lower part of this information on data protection.

ADWM GmbH will inform you in the next section when it makes use of which permission. There you will also find more information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of your data on this website.

​

What else you should know:
Users under the age of 16 should only transmit personal data to ADWM GmbH with the consent of their parents or legal guardians. A different age limit may result from the applicable data protection laws.

​

How your data is processed (log data)

Every time you access a website, your internet browser automatically transmits information to the web server (so-called log data) for technical reasons. Some of this information is stored in log files, e.g

date of access
time of access
URL of the referring website
retrieved file
amount of data transferred
Browser type and version
operating system
IP address (anonymized)
Log data does not contain personal data. In principle, ADWM GmbH only evaluates log data in order to rectify malfunctions in the operation of the website or to clarify security incidents. This log data is stored indefinitely. 

In order to eliminate faults or to preserve evidence in the event of security incidents, it may sometimes be necessary to collect additional personal data with the log data. In these cases, the processing of the log data is based on legal permission (Article 6 (1) (f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679). This data will be deleted as soon as the disruption has been eliminated or the security incident has been finally clarified or the processing purpose has ceased to exist for other reasons. As far as permissible, log data will be passed on to investigative authorities in individual cases in the event of a security incident.

Log data is always stored separately from other data that is collected as part of the use of our website.

​

Your right to erasure of your data
ADWM GmbH will delete personal data stored about you upon request.
