inSyca has implemented a variety of technical and organizational measures in order to protect your personal data, in particular against random or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction and access by unauthorized persons. These security measures will be continually adapted in accordance with technological developments. The transfer of personal data between your computer and our server invariably takes place by encrypted connection (Secure Socket Layer (SSL)).
The data you provide when you register to receive our newsletter are used solely for that purpose. Subscribers can also receive e-mail updates concerning circumstances that are relevant to the service or the registration (for instance, changes to the newsletter offer or technical matters).
For the registration to be effective, we require a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that the registration is carried out by the owner of the e-mail address, we implement the double opt-in method. To this end, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and receipt of the reply requested in that e-mail. No further data are collected. The data are used solely for the newsletter distribution and are not passed to any third party.
You can withdraw your consent at any time to the storage of your personal data and their use for newsletter distribution. Each newsletter contains a link which you can use for this purpose. In addition, you can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time or send us your request to that effect using the contact details in this privacy policy.
When you contact us by e-mail or by using the contact form, the information provided by you is saved for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server within the domain in which the cookie was assigned to you. Cookies cannot execute any programmes or infect your computer with viruses. The cookies used by us neither contain personal data nor are they connected to any such data.
Most of the cookies used by us are so-called session cookies, which are required in order to maintain consistency during your visit, for example by ensuring that the preferences you entered as part of a registration for an event, as well as any other information entered, are remembered for the duration of your session. We also need session cookies in order to ensure that any offers (e.g., promotional offers) you click on are assigned to your request. Session cookies are automatically deleted after each session.

This enables us to be more targeted about the offers we show you on our website. If you are already registered with us and have a customer account, it will be possible for us to compare the information recorded by the cookies used with the information known to us. This in turn enables us to tune our offers more finely to your needs and wishes. These cookies have a lifespan of one year, after which they are automatically deleted. We also need cookies for purposes of settling accounts with our advertising partners, because cookies are able to record the page or promotional campaign that led the customer to us. As with other data, we record this data exclusively in abstract form so as to ensure that it cannot be used to identify the data subject. A cookie of this type has a lifespan of 31 days.

In such cases personal data may be obtained from publicly available sources (e.g., commercial registers, association registries, registration registers, land registers, debtor directories, press releases and internet searches), affiliated companies or other third parties (eg credit bureaus, adress publishers and government agencies). Depending on the processing activity and purpose, in particular data from the following categories are processed:

Processing for the execution and fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures
A large part of the personal data is processed by us in order to be able to fulfil contracts with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures at your request. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) Sent. 1 (b) of the GDPR. The processing activities, which include any associated purpose, arise in particular from the respective contract and include, above all, the provision of our catalogues and ordering systems, the preparation of offers, the acceptance of orders, the commissioning of goods, delivery, and if necessary assembly and/or operationalisation and/or maintenance activities, as well as the provision of other services, such as training sessions and invoicing, which includes order-related payments, payment reminders/warnings and tax assessments. Also required in this context are order-related communications, the documentation of transactions, the booking of business transactions and the processing of claims, including fulfilment of any warranty claims.
Processing as it relates to the fulfilment of legal obligations or to the performance of a task carried out in the public interest
Like any other company, inSyca GmbH has to fulfil and comply with a wide variety of legal obligations. To do this, personal data must also be processed. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sent. 1 (c) of the GDPR. Furthermore, personal data may have to be processed during the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

Other regulatory-related processing activities may include the implementation or support of recall actions, the prevention of money laundering, the prevention, combating and resolution of terrorist financing, the fulfilment of tax inspection and reporting obligations, as well as identity verification and reconciliation with anti-terror lists.

The legal basis for this is the first sentence of art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR. The processing activities comprise in particular:

Furthermore, we process personal data for the purpose of advertising as well as market or opinion research. Approaches for advertising purposes are made personally, by telephone and by post. If you have purchased goods or services from us, we may use your e-mail address to send you information about similar products and services by e-mail.

Processing within the framework of a weighing of interests will only take place if you have not objected to it and if the legislator does not require explicit consent. We will inform you separately below about your right of objection pursuant to art. 21 GDPR.
Processing on the basis of your explicit consent
Certain processing operations may require us to obtain your consent. The legal basis for such processing activity is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR.

However, the revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing until the time of revocation.

These include circumstances in which you contest the accuracy of your personal data and we then have to verify such accuracy. In such cases, we must refrain from further processing your personal data, with the exception of storage, until the matter has been clarified.

Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR
If the processing of your data by inSyca is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller (Art. 6 (1) point e) GDPR) or if it is necessary in the legitimate interests of inSyca, then you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your data. inSyca will then end the processing, unless we can present compelling legitimate grounds for such processing that supersede the grounds for ending the processing.
