Data Protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice concerning the controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Becker Patentübersetzung GmbH
Phone: +49 821 / 9996 3500
Email: mail@becker-patentuebersetzung.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a justified request for erasure or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be erased after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, where special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We disclose personal data to external parties only if this is required for performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using processors, we disclose our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, or to have it transmitted to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will take place only where technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure
Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free-of-charge information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time in this regard. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the exercise, defense or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — apart from being stored — be processed only with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional emails
The use of contact data published in the context of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of this site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam email.

4. Data collection on this website
Inquiry by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us by contact inquiries will remain with us until you ask us to erase it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

We do not use any analytics tools.
