3. Personal data, purposes of data processing, legal bases, recipients
3.1. Scope of processing of personal data
Personal data is information that can reveal or disclose the identity of the user. We only process personal data of our users if this is necessary to provide a functional application as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only after consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
3.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which KARL MAYER is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of KARL MAYER or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
The concretely applicable legal basis for the processing of personal data is always mentioned in this privacy policy with the respective concrete data processing.
3.3. Data deletion and storage time
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data subject is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
3.4. Data processing by the application
You can use the application without giving any personal information. Then no personal data is transferred to our server and you can only communicate with the textile machine and call up general machine documentation.
For application optimization we use special data collection methods. The exact procedures involved and how your data is used for this purpose are explained in detail below.
3.4.1. Data processing when accessing the application
Every time you access our application as a registered user, information is sent to the server of our application by your respective terminal device and temporarily stored in log files. The data records stored in this way contain the following data, which is stored until automatic deletion: Date and time of retrieval, name of the requested file, IP address of the requesting device, the amount of data transferred, loading time and the name of your access provider.
The legal basis for processing the IP address is Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO.

• Evaluation of system safety and stability.
A direct conclusion on your identity is not possible on the basis of the information and will not be drawn by us. These data are evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the application and its improvement and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.
The data will be stored and automatically deleted once the aforementioned purposes have been achieved. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

If the KARL MAYER CONNECT system wants to send push notifications to the device, the device tokens and the text are transferred to the Pushy.me service.
The device tokens are also stored in the KARL MAYER CONNECT system and can be assigned to users.
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a), Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b), Article 6 paragraph 1 letter c) DSGVO and Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) DSGVO. Your data will be deleted once the intended purpose has been achieved.

4.1. Overview of the individual statutory rights under Article 15 ff. GDPR
In addition to the right to revoke your consent given to us, you have the following further rights if the respective legal requirements are met:
• the right to obtain information about your personal data stored by us (Art. 15 GDPR), in particular you can request information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data was or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the origin of your data if these were not collected directly from you;

• the right to restrict the processing of your data (Art. 18 GDPR) if you dispute the accuracy of the data, if the processing is unlawful but you refuse to delete it; the data controller no longer needs the data, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have filed an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR,

The above general right to object applies to all processing purposes described in this Privacy Policy which are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In contrast to the special right to object directed at data processing for advertising purposes, according to the GDPR we are only obliged to implement such a general objection if you give us reasons of superior importance (e.g. a possible danger to life or health).
You can exercise this right at datenschutzbeauftragter@karlmayer.com
