DATENSCHUTZERKLÄRUNG / PRIVACY POLICY

As the provider of the website (www.sgs-unterwassergruppe.de) and the data controller, the SGS-Unterwassergruppe (hereinafter referred to as "UWG") takes its data protection obligations very seriously; it designs its website to ensure that only the minimum amount of personal data necessary is collected, processed, and used. Under no circumstances will personal data be rented or sold to third parties for advertising purposes. No personal data will be used for advertising or marketing purposes without the visitor's express consent.
Within the UWG, access to personal data is restricted to individuals who require such data to perform their duties for the data controller, who have been informed of statutory data protection regulations, and who have committed to complying with them in accordance with applicable laws (Section 5 of the Federal Data Protection Act [BDSG] or Article 5 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR]). The collection, processing, use, and transmission of personal data are carried out in accordance with Section 28 (1) and (3) BDSG or—as of May 25, 2018—Article 6 (1) GDPR, and only to the extent necessary to execute the contractual relationship between the UWG (as the data controller) and the visitor (as the data subject).

Changes to the Purpose of Processing and Data Use
As the processing methods employed may change or evolve due to technical progress and organizational adjustments, we reserve the right to update this privacy policy in line with new technical conditions. We therefore ask that you review the privacy policy from time to time. Should you not agree with any further developments that occur over time, you may request—in writing and in accordance with Art. 17 of the EU GDPR—the deletion of data that is not stored on the basis of other legal requirements, such as statutory retention obligations under commercial or tax law.

Anonymous Data Collection
In principle, you can visit the websites of the controller without disclosing your identity. We only learn the name of your internet service provider, the website from which you are visiting us, and the pages you visit on our site. This information is analyzed for statistical purposes. You remain anonymous as an individual user during this process.
