1.1 When visiting the website
When you visit our website www.caeli-wind.de, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is recorded without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:
• IP address of the requesting computer,
• date and time of access,
• Name and URL of the retrieved file,
• Website from which access is made (referrer URL),
• Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

The data mentioned are processed by us for the following purposes:
• Ensuring a smooth connection establishment of the website,
• Ensuring comfortable use of our website,
• System security and stability as well as for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. The data will be deleted after the end of the respective browser session, at the latest after seven days, unless further storage is required for the above-mentioned purposes.

1.2 When subscribing to our newsletter
When registering for our newsletter, we need an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. For this purpose, after your entry, an e-mail will be sent to the specified e-mail address with a confirmation link (double opt-in). If you do not confirm your registration within 14 days, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The specification of further, separately marked data is voluntary. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. We do not collect any further data in this context. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested newsletter. Insofar as we use a processor to send the newsletter, we naturally comply with the applicable data protection laws.

The data is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, or by sending a message to the above contact details (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter). You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

1.3 For your inquiries
We process the data that you provide us with an inquiry to fulfill contractual and pre-contractual obligations in connection with (the initiation of) our business relationship (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO) or - if your inquiry is not related with (pre-)contractual measures - to protect legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest lies in being able to answer your inquiries.

1.4 Data processing for applications
Insofar as personal data is transmitted to us by you in applications, we process your data for the examination, processing and answering of your application and, if necessary, for the preparation of the employment relationship.

The data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, § 26 BDSG. The personal data collected for the application process will be stored six months after completion of the application process and then deleted, unless an employment relationship is established with the applicant or longer storage is necessary due to legal requirements or if the person concerned consented to longer storage.
