2. General notices 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 the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this takes place.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Bridge ITS GmbH
Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer 76
01309 Dresden
Germany
Email: info@bridge-systems.com

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, email addresses, etc.).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of data protection violations, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in data protection matters is the data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details can be found at the following link: BfDI – Addresses and Links.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content — such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator — this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Legal basis for processing

We only process personal data to the extent necessary to provide our services or if you have expressly consented. The legal bases for processing are:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent)
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract / pre-contractual measures)
• Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation)
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest)

4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

This website uses only technically necessary cookies, insofar as they are required to operate the site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We do not use consent-requiring cookies for analytics, tracking or marketing purposes.

Storing technically necessary cookies does not require consent under § 25(2) TDDDG; processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free provision of the website). You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to exclude cookies in general; disabling them may limit the functionality of this website.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address (anonymised)

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website — server log files must be recorded for this purpose. Data is deleted after 7 days.

Contact by email

If you contact us by email (e.g. via the contact button on our contact page), we process the data you provide (name, email address, content of your message) solely to handle your request. The data is not passed on to third parties and is deleted after completion, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry).

Appointment booking

On our contact page we embed our own appointment-booking tool (br-idge.com, operated by Bridge ITS GmbH). This is our own product, not an external third-party provider. If you book an appointment through this tool, we process the data you provide to arrange and conduct the appointment (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

5. Your rights

• Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR): You can request information about the data stored about you.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You can request the correction of inaccurate data.

6. Data security

We use technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorised access. Your data is transmitted in encrypted form using the HTTPS protocol (SSL/TLS). All data is processed and stored exclusively on German servers. Despite all measures, complete protection against third-party access cannot be fully excluded.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy from time to time so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services. The updated Privacy Policy will apply to your next visit.
