The person responsible within the meaning of data protection laws and other data protection regulations is:

Autohaus Braunöhler GmbH

The responsible supervisory authority and the contact details of the data protection officers in the federal states, the supervisory authorities for the non-public sector, broadcasting, churches, in Europe and elsewhere as well as the virtual data protection office can be found under the link of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection (BFDI) at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschrift_Links/anschrift_links-node.html

4. Subject of data protection

The subject of data protection is personal data.

According to the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), personal data is all individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. The GDPR further defines “personal data” as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data or an online identifier.

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

Processing is any operation or series of operations carried out on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or other form of provision, alignment or association, restriction, deletion or destruction.

5. General information on data processing

5.1 Scope of processing of personal data

As a general rule, we only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data from our users only occurs regularly if permitted by legal regulations or based on consent.

5.2 Legal basis for processing personal data

To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

5.3 Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of storage. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data to conclude or fulfill a contract.

5.4 Disclosure of personal data

Without your separate consent, your personal data will be used solely for the establishment, implementation or termination of a legal transaction or similar obligation or to carry out our obligations under public law. If you have given us a separate declaration of consent for the use and transfer of personal data, the personal data may also be passed on further to the recipients named there.

If personal data is passed on to service providers as part of order processing, they are also bound by the GDPR / BDSG and other applicable legal regulations. Data processing exclusively based on instructions is ensured by concluding order processing agreements that meet the requirements of the GDPR.

Personal customer data will not be passed on to third parties beyond this. To the extent that we are obliged to do so by law, court order or an enforceable official order, we will transmit your personal data to authorized bodies. In addition, we will pass on your personal data to third parties if the transfer is necessary to enforce existing agreements or our rights and claims arising from obligations that exist with you or to protect the rights of other users and/or third parties.

6. Collection of data when you visit the website

6.1 Scope of processing of personal data

This website collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or an automated system accesses a website.

The following data is collected:

Information about the browser type and version used

6.2 Purpose of data processing

This general data and information is stored in the log files of the web server. What can be recorded are the browser types and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, the date and the time of access to the website, an Internet protocol address (IP address), the Internet service provider of the accessing system and other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, no conclusions are drawn about the data subject.

Rather, this information is needed to correctly deliver the content of our website, to optimize the content of the website, to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This collected data and information is therefore evaluated both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in the company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6.3 Duration of storage

The data is pseudonymized after a statistical analysis.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after 30 days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the users' IP addresses are deleted or altered so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.

6.4 Legal basis

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

6.5 Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility for the user to object.

      • 11. Further data protection information on the use of social media and plugins

        When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the service servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the respective provider and integrated into the page. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that the plugin providers collect with the help of these plugins and therefore inform users according to their level of knowledge. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider, if necessary. also transmitted to the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to one of the services, the providers can directly assign your visit to our website to your profile on the respective service.

        If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information is also published on the social network or on your account and displayed there to your contacts. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the providers' data protection information.

        12.1. on the application and use of Google Analytics

        We have integrated the Google Analytics component on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit of Internet advertising.

        The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

        The person responsible for processing uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this addition, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if our websites are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

        The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

        Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission billing.

        The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on the personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

        The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting on the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

        The data subject also has the possibility of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Installing the browser add-on is viewed by Google as a contradiction. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

        Further information and Google's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

        12.2 on the use of Facebook

        The website uses social plugins (hereinafter referred to as "plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Facebook") . The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

        When a user accesses a page on this website that contains such a plugin, their browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user's browser and integrated into the website by it. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects using this plugin. According to the provider's current knowledge, Facebook is proceeding as follows:

        By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page on the provider's website. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, e.g. press the so-called Like button or make a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from the user's browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

        The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the relevant rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users can be found in Facebook's data protection information https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

        If a user is a member of Facebook and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via the provider's website and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for the user's browser, for example with the "Facebook Blocker".

        13. External links

        For your optimal information, you will find links on our pages that refer to third-party websites. If such links are not obviously recognizable, we would like to point out that they are external links. We have no influence whatsoever on the content and design of these websites. The information in our data protection declaration therefore does not apply there.
