Privacy Policy
General Information
As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.
The following is responsible for data processing on this website and in our company:
Battery-Kutter GmbH & Co. KG
Robert-Koch-Str. 19a
22851 Norderstedt
Germany
Telephone: +49 40 611 631-0
Email: info@battery-kutter.de
General information
SSL- or TLS encryption
When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send emails via the Internet, you must always be aware that unauthorised third parties may access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do everything in our power to protect your data as best we can and to close any security gaps as far as possible.
An important protective mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
How long do we store your data?
In some places in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If no such information is provided, we store your data until the purpose of data processing no longer applies, you object to data processing or you revoke your consent to data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, however, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:
- We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing data processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms (only in the case of objection to data processing; if the objection is directed against direct marketing, we cannot cite any legitimate grounds).
- Data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct marketing).
- We are legally obliged to retain your data.
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) no longer apply.
Data Protection Officer
We have appointed a data protection officer for our company.

Your rights
Objection to data processing
IF YOU READ IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE PROCESS IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 6(1) SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THE ABOVE PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU PROVIDE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT RESULT FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASON IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:
- WE CAN PROVE THAT THERE ARE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
- THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT MARKETING OR AGAINST PROFILING RELATED TO THIS.
Further rights
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give your consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before submitting the form, or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7(3) GDPR). From the time of withdrawal, we will no longer be allowed to process your data. The only exception is if we are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your place of residence, your place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to lodge a complaint exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
We must provide you or a third party with data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically possible.
Right to data access, erasure and rectification
Under Article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to obtain information free of charge about what personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transfer the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected (Art. 16 GDPR) and, under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.
Right to restriction of processing
In certain situations, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Article 18 of the GDPR. The data may then only be processed as follows, apart from storage:
- with your consent
- for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
- to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
- for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State
The right to restriction of processing applies in the following situations:
- You have contested the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to verify this. In this case, the right applies for the duration of the verification.
- The processing of your personal data is unjustified or was unlawful in the past. In this case, the right applies as an alternative to the erasure of the data.
- We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. In this case, you have the right to restrict processing as an alternative to erasure.
- You have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and now your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. In this case, you have the right to restrict processing as long as the outcome of the weighing process is not yet clear.
Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)
External hosting
Our website is hosted on a server belonging to the following internet service provider (host):
Bargkoppelweg 67
22145 Hamburg
Has a contract for order processing been concluded with the host, or are standard contractual clauses (SCC) used?
Yes
How do we process your data?
The host stores all data from our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through your input. This may include, in particular: your IP address, pages visited, names, contact details and enquiries, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our host adheres to our instructions and only processes the data to the extent necessary to fulfil its obligations to us.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
As we use our website to address potential customers and maintain contact with existing customers, the data processing carried out by our host serves the purpose of contract initiation and fulfilment and is therefore based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, it is in our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional website that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Data collection on this website
Use of cookies
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that serve various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to use the advantages of a shopping basket in an online shop. Still other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or optimise advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies may also place cookies on your device when you visit the website (so-called third-party cookies).
How do we process your data?
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close your browser, they disappear automatically. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can lead, for example, to your user behaviour being analysed on an ongoing basis. You can use your browser settings to control how it handles cookies:
Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
Do you want to exclude cookies in general or in certain cases?
- Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close your browser?
If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this in this privacy policy. We will also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that visitors can use our online services without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when asked for your consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.
Cookie consent with Complianz
What is Complianz?
Consent management provider (CMP) for obtaining, processing and forwarding GDPR-compliant consent.
Who processes your data?
Complianz is a locally integrated tool; processing is carried out directly by the controller. Complianz is provided by Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands.
How do we process your data?
We use Complianz to obtain your consent to store cookies on your device and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. When you visit our website and close the Complianz cookie window requesting your consent, the following data is stored:
- Your IP address (from which your country is also determined)
- the browser used
- the language used
- the website accessed
Complianz also stores various cookies in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to your browser. All collected data is stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Complianz cookies or you request us to delete the data. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data. No connection to third-party servers is established.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. We use Complianz to fulfil this obligation. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.
Server log files
Server log files record all requests and accesses to our website and log error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymised by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.
How do we process your data?
Our provider stores the server log files in order to track activity on our website and identify errors. The files contain the following data:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address (anonymised if necessary)
We do not combine this data with other data, but use it solely for statistical analysis and to improve our website.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs smoothly. It is also in our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymised overview of visits to our website. Data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Enquiries by email, telephone or fax
You can send us a message by email or fax, or give us a call.
How do we process your data?
We store your message and the contact details you have provided or the telephone number you have given us in order to be able to process your enquiry, including any follow-up questions. We will not pass on your data to other persons without your consent.
How long do we store your data?
We delete your data as soon as one of the following points applies:
- Your request has been processed.
- You request us to delete the data.
- You revoke your consent to storage.
This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves to implement pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is in our legitimate interest to process requests addressed to us effectively. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
