Privacy Policy

We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high priority for the management of LND Ingenieure GmbH. Use of the website is generally possible without providing any personal data.

1. Controller

Data Protection Officer

Our company is not legally required to appoint a data protection officer. For any questions regarding data protection, you can reach us at any time using the contact details given above.

2. Collection of general data and information

With each access to the website by a data subject or an automated system, the website of LND Ingenieure GmbH records a range of general data and information. These are stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded:

• the browser types and versions used,
• the operating system used by the accessing system,
• the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
• the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system,
• the date and time of access to the website,
• an internet protocol address (IP address),
• the internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using these general data and information, LND Ingenieure GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to deliver the content of our website correctly, to ensure the functionality of our IT systems, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

3. Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of LND Ingenieure GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data is not passed on to third parties.

4. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or where this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

5. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed.

b) Right of access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain, free of charge at any time, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information.

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject has the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them.

d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

Every data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them, where one of the grounds under Art. 17 GDPR applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Every data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

g) Right to object

Every data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them.

Right to withdraw consent

If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data infringes applicable law. The authority responsible for us is the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

6. Legal bases for processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to perform a contract, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

7. Duration of storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely erased, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

Cookies and consent management

Our website uses cookies, that is, small text files stored on your device. We only use technically necessary cookies that ensure the secure and functional operation of the site; the legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). To manage your privacy settings we use a consent tool that stores your choice. Should cookies requiring consent be used in future, this will only take place on the basis of your prior consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time with effect for the future.

Fonts (Google Fonts)

To present our content consistently, we use fonts from the Google Fonts service, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When a page is loaded, your browser loads the required fonts from a Google server in order to display text correctly. In doing so, your IP address is transmitted to Google and a transfer to the USA may occur. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in an appealing and consistent presentation of our online offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.
