  • 10
    Rights of the data subject
  • a)
    Right of confirmation
  • Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of confirmation, they may contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.

    • – the purposes of the processing
    • – the categories of personal data being processed
    • – the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed or will be disclosed
    • – whether personal data was transferred to a third country or an international organization, and if this is the case, whether appropriate safeguards exist in connection with the transmission
    • – the envisaged storage period, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
    • – the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data concerning the data subject, or restriction of processing of personal data or to object to such processing
    • – the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
    • – where the personal data is not collected from the data subject, information as to its source
    • – the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved, and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access to information, they may contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.
  • c)
    Right to rectification
  • Each person whose data is processed has the right to obtain immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them and, taking into account the processing's purposes, the right to have incomplete personal data completed.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.

  • d)
    Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
  • Each person whose data is processed has the right to obtain from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them, where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

    • – the personal data is no longer required in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed
    • – the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing
    • – the data subject objects to the processing, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing
    • – the personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation
    • – the personal data belongs to a child who is not yet 16 years of age or for whom no consent from the holders of parental responsibility has been obtained
    • If one of the reasons, as mentioned earlier, applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored with the controllers, they may contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.

      Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged to erase the personal data, the controllers, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, will take reasonable steps. These include technical measures to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, that personal data, as far as processing is not required

  • e)
    Right to restriction of processing
  • Each person whose data is processed has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing, where one of the following applies:

    • – the accuracy of the personal information is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data
    • – the processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of its use
    • – the controllers no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims
    • – the data subject has objected to processing pending verification of whether the controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.
    • If one of the conditions, as mentioned earlier, is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the controller, they may contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.

  • f)
    Right to data portability
  • Each person whose data is processed has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

    They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent or a contract. The processing is carried out by automated means. The processing is not necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest or the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect others' rights and freedoms.

    To exercise the right to data portability, they may contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.

  • g)
    Right to object
  • Each person whose data is processed has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    The controllers can no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated, which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

    In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.

  • h)
    Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
  • Each person whose data is processed has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them, or similarly significantly affects them, as long as the decision is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

    If the decision is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the controllers will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, they may contact the controller(s) at Grilli Type at any time.

  • i)

  • 11
    Links to other websites
  • The Grilli Type website links to other websites not operated by Grilli Type and to which this data protection declaration does not extend. Once you have clicked on a link, Grilli Type has no influence on the processing of any data transmitted to third parties (such as IP addresses), as third parties' conduct is by nature beyond our control. Therefore, Grilli Type cannot assume any liability for such third-party content. Responsibility for the content of linked sites always lies with the respective provider or operator of those sites.

    At the time of linking, the linked sites were checked for possible violations of law and recognizable infringements. Illegal contents were not identifiable at the time of linking. Permanent control and examination of the linked pages without concrete evidence of a violation of the law is not reasonable. If we become aware of any infringements of the law, such links will be removed immediately.

  • As a customer of Grilli Type, you will receive product or service recommendations from us by email from time to time. You will receive these recommendations from us regardless of whether or not you have subscribed to a newsletter. This is because we want to provide you with information about products from our range that you might be interested in based on the last services you have used.

  • The information we receive from you helps us to continually improve your service experience and structure it in a customer-friendly manner that is personalized for you. The information you have submitted and automatically generated will be used to personalize advertising for you and your interests. For this purpose, we use existing information, such as delivery and read receipts of emails, information on a computer and connection to the internet, operating system and platform, your service history, the date and time of a visit to the homepage, articles, topics, and content you have viewed. We use this information exclusively in a pseudonymized form. By analyzing and evaluating this information, we can improve our web pages and our internet offering, and send you personalized advertising. This is advertising that recommends services that you might be interested in. Our goal is to make our advertising more useful and interesting for you. Therefore analyzing and evaluating the pseudonymous data collected from you will help us ensure we do not send you advertising indiscriminately. Instead, we will send you advertising, such as newsletters and service recommendations, which corresponds to your areas of interest, either in an email or letter. For example, we will determine which of our promotional emails you open to avoid sending unnecessary emails.

  • 12.2.4
    Competitions, market, and opinion research

    Cookies
  • This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored permanently or temporarily when you visit this site. The primary purpose of cookies is to analyze this website's use for statistical evaluation and to make continuous improvements.

    You can disable cookies entirely or partially at any time in your browser settings. If you disable cookies, you will not be able to access all the functions of this website.

  • 13.1
    What are cookies?
  • Cookies are small files that are stored on your data carrier, which hold certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. There are two different types of cookie: session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored on your data carrier for a more extended period or without limit. This type of storage helps us design our web pages and our offers with you in mind and make it easier for you to use them. For example, certain input from you can be stored so that you are not required to enter this repeatedly.

  • 13.2
    What types of cookies does Grilli Type use?
  • Most of the cookies we use are deleted again from your hard drive at the end of your browser session (i.e., session cookies). We also use cookies that remain on your hard drive. When you visit again, we will automatically recognize that you have already visited us and what inputs and settings you prefer. These temporary and permanent cookies (lifespan of 1 month to 10 years) will be stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after a specified period of time. These cookies are mainly used to make our range more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Thanks to these files, it is possible, for example, to show you content on the page that is specially tailored to your interests. The sole purpose of these cookies is to adapt our range to your wishes in the best possible way and to make it as easy and convenient as possible for you to surf our site.

  • 13.3
    What data is stored in the cookies?
  • Only pseudonymous data is stored in the cookies used by Grilli Type. The cookie is allocated an identification number when it is activated. Your personal data is not assigned to this identification number. Your name, your IP address, and other such data that might allow the cookie to be traced to you directly are not placed in the cookie. We receive only pseudonymized information based on the cookie technology, relating, for example, to which of our pages have been visited, what services, articles, or cases have been viewed, etc.

  • 13.4
    Are third party cookies also used?
  • Grilli Type uses some advertising partners that help make the internet offering and our website more interesting for you. Therefore, when visiting websites, cookies of partner companies are stored on your hard drive. These are temporary/permanent cookies that are automatically deleted after a specified period of time. These temporary and permanent cookies (lifespan of 14 days to 10 years) will be stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after a specified period of time. The cookies of our partner companies only contain pseudonyms, mostly anonymous data. For example, this is data about what products you have viewed, if something was purchased, what products you looked for, etc. Some of our advertising partners record information via the web pages about which pages you have visited before or which products you are interested in, for example, to show you advertising best suited to your interests. This pseudonymous data is not combined with your personal data at any time. It is only used to allow our advertising partners to show you advertising you might be interested in.

  • 13.5
    How can you prevent cookies from being stored?
  • In your browser, you can specify that cookies can only be stored with your consent. If you only want to accept Grilli Type cookies and not the cookies from our service providers and partners, you can change the settings in your browser to block third-party cookies. The help function in your web browser's menu bar will usually show you how you can reject new cookies and deactivate those already received. Detailed information on how you can adjust the browser settings you are using can be viewed at the following link: https://us.norton.com/internetsecurity-privacy-how-to-clear-cookies.html.

    Log files
  • Each time you access Grilli Type’s web pages, usage data is transmitted by the respective internet browser and stored in server log files. The stored data records contain the following data: the date and time of access, the name of the page accessed, IP address, referrer URL (original URL from which you arrived at the web pages), the amount of data transferred, and the product and version information of the browser used. The IP addresses of users are deleted or anonymized when you end your session on the website. When anonymizing, IP addresses are modified so that the individual details about persons or factual circumstances can no longer be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person or only if a significantly large amount of time, cost, and labor are expended. We evaluate these log file data records in an anonymous form to further improve our offering and make it more user-friendly, to find and correct errors more quickly, and to manage server capacity. For example, we can determine what times the Grilli Type website is especially popular and make the relevant data volume available to ensure you can make a purchase as quickly as possible. We can also identify and correct any errors on the Grilli Type website more quickly by analyzing the log files.

Google transfers this data to third parties only due to legal regulations, or in the context of order data processing. Google will not combine your data with other data collected by Google. Using these web pages, you agree to the processing of data collected about you by Google, and in the manner described and for the purpose as mentioned earlier. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the corresponding setting in your browser software.
