In the following, we will explain to you the handling of your data when you use individual functions of our Web site.

3.1. CONTACT FORM / FEEDBACK

We use the information you provide in the contact form (e.g. subject, message, contact data) for the processing of your respective request. Your name and form of address are for personal use only.

Our legitimate interests (facilitating customer contact) and, if you are a customer or want to become one, the fulfilment of the contract, e.g. the processing of an order, constitute the legal basis for the processing. The respective competent department (e.g. Customer Service) is the recipient of your message. We will delete your message upon completion; or else after the expiration of the statutory retention periods.

3.2. SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NEWSLETTER

For you to be able to subscribe to a newsletter, we need your e-mail address. Stating your name is voluntary and is used for personal address.

By ordering the newsletter, you grant us your data protectionconsent to send you information on products and services of Wiking-Modellbau GmbH & Co. KG relating to toys, in particular toy models, by e-mail. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in the newsletter or by sending us a message.  

After registration, you will receive an e-mail asking you to click on a confirmation link. Only after this confirmation will you receive the subscribed newsletter (double opt-in). We log the date/time and IP address of this confirmation.

Your consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing. We will delete your data when you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

Our newsletters contain special images (Web bugs) and similar techniques, on the basis of which we can recognise whether and when an e-mail has been opened. When a link is clicked on in a newsletter, we also record it. However, we use this data only statistically (i.e. without reference to individuals) in order to optimise our newsletters and offers and to understand better what interests our customers.

3.3. PRIZE GAME

Wiking-Modellbau GmbH & Co. KG collects and uses the data of the participants only for the purpose of implementing the prize game. Any further collection and use of the data takes place only to the extent that the participants agree to it.

The specification of personal data is required for the participation in the prize game. The participant expressly agrees that the data transmitted by him may be collected and processed for the purpose of implementing and executing the prize game. The participant also agrees to receiving news concerning the prize game from Wiking-Modellbau GmbH & Co. KG at the e-mail address filed by him. In the event of a revocation, the participant will be excluded from the prize game.

The personal data entered and transmitted by the participant is collected, stored, used and passed on to third parties, e.g. for the delivery of the prize (mail service, parcel service) by Wiking-Modellbau GmbH & Co. KG solely for the purpose of implementing and executing the prize game. After full implementation of the prize game, the data is immediately and permanently deleted.

The subscription to the newsletter is not mandatory for taking part in the prize game. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we use your e-mail address for sending the newsletter. In this case, the provisions in Item 3.2 apply.

3.4. GOOGLE MAPS

We can use on our Web site services by Google LLC (United States) for the display of maps (e.g. when searching for dealers). To display the map, it is necessary that Google processes your IP address.

In relation to the map service provided by Google, the data protection statement of Google applies. With the use of Google Maps, you enter into a direct user relationship with Google.

The execution of the contract (provision of the map service) and our legitimate interest in the involvement of a specialised map provider constitute the legal basis for this data processing.

Google has a so-called EU-U.S. Privacy Shield certification. The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement is a data protection agreement designed to ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to certified U.S. companies. The EU Commission has established the adequacy of the assured data protection level according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield agreement with a decision on 12 July 2016 (file no. C(2016) 4176). (Retrieve the decision of the EU Commission.) You can view the current status of the certification of Google according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield agreement online.

6.7. REVOCATION (OF CONSENT)

If you provide us with a data protection consent, you have the right to revoke it at any time with effect for the future. This also applies to a data protection consent that you have given before the GDPR took effect.

6.8. OBJECTION 

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons, which arise from your specific situation, inasmuch as we base the processing on Section 6 (1) letter e) or f) GDPR. We shall no longer process this data unless we can give proof of reasons worthy of protection for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and liberties; or if the processing serves for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (Section 21 GDPR).

If your personal data is used by us for direct marketing (e.g. by e-mail), you have the right to object to the use of your data for these purposes at any time. This also applies to profiling if it is associated with direct advertising. Profiling refers to the use of personal data in order to analyse or predict specific personal aspects (e.g. interests).

Employees are deployed for working with personal data who have been pledged to confidentiality in accordance with Section 28 (3) p. 2 GDPR and have made themselves familiar with the provisions on data protection. Every employee (person) who has access to personal data is only allowed to process and use this data in accordance with the instructions of the employer/client.

Appropriate technical and organisational measures have been taken to protect personal data (Sections 28 and 32 GDPR). The confidentiality, integrity, availability and reliability of the systems and services in connection with the processing is ensured. A firewall as well as malware protection software are installed, activated and regularly updated on all systems used.

With the registration of the employees, a user identification/authentication takes place at the workplaces. The used passwords must be changed at regular intervals.  The access rights of the employees are matched to the activity profile of each employee.

Agreements on order processing and on confidentiality have been entered into with the software suppliers and order processors.

The technical and organisational measures to ensure processing security is periodically reviewed, assessed and evaluated.
