Data protection

The protection of personal data is a basic requirement for a trusting collaboration. The Rieck Logistics Group has therefore taken measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed by both us and external service providers.

If the website offers the option of entering personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses), the user provides this data on an expressly voluntary basis.

The person responsible within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

In order to use the Rieck Logistik Group website, it may be necessary for Rieck's servers to set cookies. These cookies are used for the technical administration of the website. The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

The website of Rieck Holding GmbH & Co. KG collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. We therefore evaluate these anonymously collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Due to legal regulations, our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose and insofar as these are subject to the respective statutory retention periods.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage or retention period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

b) Right to information
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information from the controller free of charge at any time. The scope of the right to information is set out in Art. 15 GDPR.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation and whether, where appropriate, appropriate safeguards exist in connection with the transfer.

c) Right to rectification
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to demand the completion of incomplete personal data - also by means of a supplementary declaration.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand that the controller immediately erase the personal data concerning him or her if one of the reasons set out in Art. 17 GDPR applies.

e) Right to restriction of processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand that the controller restrict processing if at least one of the conditions set out in Art. 18 GDPR is met.

f) Right to data portability
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which was made available to a controller by the data subject, in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transmit the data to another controller, provided that the requirements of Art. 20 GDPR are met.

g) Right to object
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless compelling legitimate reasons for the processing can be proven that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If we process personal data in order to conduct direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. If the data subject objects to us processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

h) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

The legal basis for the processing operations by our company is Art. 6 I lit. a) GDPR (consent) and Art. 6 I lit. b) GDPR (fulfillment of contracts, here logistics and forwarding contracts) and Art. 6 I lit. c) GDPR (fulfillment of legal obligations, such as tax obligations). In rare exceptional cases, the purpose of processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. d) GDPR (vital interests).

The legal basis for the processing operations by our company is Art. 6 I lit. a) GDPR (consent) and Art. 6 I lit. b) GDPR (fulfillment of contracts, here logistics and forwarding contracts) and Art. 6 I lit. c) GDPR (fulfillment of legal obligations, such as tax obligations). In rare exceptional cases, the purpose of processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. d) GDPR (vital interests).

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. If the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

We would like to point out that you can complain to the following office in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR if you believe that the processing of your personal data by us is unlawful:

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:
