Full details of each type of personal data processed will be provided in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy or selectively through explanatory texts displayed prior to data collection.
Personal data can be given by the user voluntarily or, in the case of usage data, automatically collected when woutex.de is used.
If not differently indicated, the indication of all data requested by woutex.de is obligatory. If the user refuses to indicate the data, this can lead to the fact that woutex.de cannot make its services available to the user. In cases, in which woutex.de expressly designates the indication of personal data as voluntary, the users may decide not to indicate these data without any consequences for the availability or the operability of the service.
Users who are unsure which personal data are mandatory can contact the provider.
Any use of Cookies - or other Tracking Tools - by woutex.de or providers of third services, which are used by woutex.de, serves the purpose to furnish the service desired by the user and all other purposes, which are described in the present document and, if available, in the Cookie guideline.

The users are responsible for all personal data of third parties, which are procured, published or passed on by woutex.de and confirm that they obtained the agreement for the transmission of personal data of any third party to woutex.de.

NATURE AND PLACE OF DATA PROCESSING
Processing methods
The provider processes the user data in a proper manner and takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access and unauthorised forwarding, modification or destruction of data.
The data processing is carried out by means of computers or IT-based systems according to organisational procedures and practices that are specifically aimed at the purposes indicated. In addition to the data controller, other persons could also operate woutex.de internally (human resources management, sales, marketing, legal department, system administrators) or externally - and in the case where necessary, designated as processors by the data controller (such as providers of technical services, delivery companies, hosting providers, IT companies or communication agencies) - and thus have access to the data. An up-to-date list of these parties may be requested from the provider at any time.

Legal basis of the processing
The provider may only process personal data of users if one of the following points applies:

The users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Some legislations may allow the provider to process personal data until the user objects to such processing ("opt-out") without relying on consent or any other of the following legal grounds. However, this does not apply if the processing of personal data is subject to European data protection law;
the collection of data is necessary for the performance of a contract with the user and/or for pre-contractual measures resulting therefrom;
the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which the provider is subject;
the processing is connected with a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the provider;
the processing is necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of the provider or of a third party.
In any case, the provider will gladly provide information about the specific legal basis on which the processing is based, in particular whether the provision of personal data is a legal or contractual obligation or a prerequisite for the conclusion of a contract.

Place
The data are processed at the provider's premises and at all other places where the parties involved in the data processing are located.

Depending on the location of the user, data transfers may involve the transfer of the user's data to a country other than the user's own. To find out more about the place where the transferred data is processed, users can consult the section containing detailed information on the processing of personal data.

Users also have the right to be informed of the legal basis for the transfer of data to a country outside the European Union or to an international organisation governed by international law or established by two or more countries, such as the UN, as well as of the security measures taken by the provider to protect their data.

If such a transmission takes place, the user can learn more about it by checking the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the provider using the information provided in the contact section.

Storage duration
Personal data is processed and stored for as long as required for the purpose for which it was collected.

Therefore the following applies:

Personal data collected for the purpose of fulfilling a contract concluded between the provider and the user will be stored until this contract is fulfilled in full.
Personal data collected to protect the legitimate interests of the provider will be kept for as long as necessary to fulfil these purposes. Users can obtain more detailed information about the provider's legitimate interests in the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the provider.
Furthermore, the provider is permitted to store personal data for a longer period of time if the user has consented to such processing, as long as the consent is not revoked. In addition, the provider may be obliged to store personal data for a longer period of time if this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or on the order of an authority.

Personal data will be deleted after expiry of the retention period. Therefore, the right of information, the right of deletion, the right of rectification and the right of data transferability cannot be exercised after the retention period has expired.

PURPOSES OF PROCESSING
Personal data about the user is collected so that the provider can provide the service and also comply with its legal obligations, respond to enforcement requests, protect its rights and interests (or those of the user or third parties), detect malicious or fraudulent activities. Furthermore, data is collected for the following purposes: Interaction with external social networks and platforms, analysis, contacting the user, viewing content from external platforms, managing user databases and hosting and backend infrastructure.

Woutex.com uses proprietary trackers (so-called "first-party trackers") and third-party trackers in connection with third-party services (so-called "third-party trackers"). Unless otherwise stated within this document, such third parties also have access to the trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration of cookies and other similar trackers depend on the lifetime set by the provider or third party vendor. Some of them expire as soon as the user ends the browser session.
In order to obtain more precise and up-to-date information on the life span as well as other information - such as regarding the use of additional trackers - users are referred to the descriptions of the categories listed below and, in addition, to the linked data protection declarations of corresponding third-party providers or to contact the provider.

The management of tracker settings and the granting and withdrawal of consent can be done in several ways:

If the use of trackers is based on consent, users can also grant or revoke consent by selecting the appropriate option in the cookie banner or by changing the selection in the consent widget (if available).

Using the appropriate browser or device settings, trackers that have already been saved, including those responsible for saving the original user consent, can also be deleted.

Other trackers that are stored in the local memory of the browser can be removed by deleting the history.

With respect to all trackers used by third parties, users can manage their preferences and revoke their consent by using the appropriate opt-out link (if available), by using the means specified in the third party's privacy policy or by contacting the third party.

Manage tracker settings
For example, users can find information on how to manage cookies via the most common browsers at the following addresses:

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Apple Safari
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Microsoft Edge
Brave
Opera
Users can also manage certain trackers used within mobile apps through device settings - for example, through the device settings for advertising on mobile devices, or generally through tracking settings (users can access device settings and search for the appropriate commands).

Opt-out possibilities of the advertising industry
Users are also advised that they may follow the instructions of YourOnlineChoices (EU), Network Advertising Initiative (US) and Digital Advertising Alliance (US), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan) or other similar services. Such initiatives allow users to set their tracking preferences for almost all advertising tools.
