Data protection on the BlueWind website
Data protection
Welcome to the BlueWind Website. We appreciate your interest in our company.
Protection of the personal data you entrust to us is a priority for us, and we want you to
feel safe and secure when you visit our website or use our online offers.
It is important to us that you are fully informed about the personal data that we collect
when you use our online offers and services, and are familiar with how we use them.
Wherever BlueWind processes personal data, such processing is carried out for the
purposes defined in this data privacy statement.
Processing of personal data
Visiting our website
We record and save your computer's IP address in order to send the contents of our
website visited by you to your computer (e.g. texts, pictures, and files provided for
downloading, etc.) (cf. Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR). We also process these data to identify and
pursue any misuse. Legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. In this context, our
legitimate interest in data processing is to ensure the due functioning of our website and
the business transacted via the Website.
Other purposes
We also process personal data that you provide voluntarily, e.g. when you make an
inquiry or online appointment, or when you order information material or newsletters.
Legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The data processed by us in this context
include the data of customers, distributors, suppliers to the extent necessary for the
purposes specified within the scope of this data privacy statement.
In as far as we process your data as described above for the purpose of accepting and
processing your inquiry, appointment, or (newsletter) order, you are contractually
bound to make these data available to us. We are unable to process your request
without the data.
Where you have given your consent to the processing of personal data (cf. Art. 6 (1) lit. a
GDPR), you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not
affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent up to the time of withdrawal of
consent.
Transfer to third parties
We may transfer your data to the relevant supplier or distributor where it is processed to
deliver the service and support you requested.
This means that information may also be processed by other entities. However, such
processing is limited to the extent required for the purposes defined in this data privacy
statement or to which the other legal entity acting as a service provider / processor has to
follow the instructions given by the controller.
These service providers / processors are bound by instructions. Given this, they are
subject to our requirements, which include processing of your data exclusively in line
with our instructions and in compliance with the applicable Data Protection Act. In
particular, they are contractually bound to treat your data with strict confidentiality, and
are not permitted to process data for other purposes than the ones agreed.
Data transfer to the data processor is effected on the basis of Art. 28 (1) GDPR.
We will not sell your data to third parties or otherwise share them for commercial purposes.
Beyond the above, we will transfer your personal data to prosecution authorities and, if
applicable, damaged third parties without your explicit consent where this is necessary
for clarifying illegal use of our services or for legal prosecution. However, such a transfer
will only take place if there is concrete evidence of illegal conduct or misuse. Transfer of
your data may also take place where this contributes to enforcing the conditions of use
or other agreements. We are also under legal obligation to provide information to certain
public bodies on request. These comprise prosecution authorities, authorities
prosecuting offences punishable by a fine, and financial authorities.
The transfer of these data is based on our legitimate interest in fighting misuse,
prosecuting criminal acts, and securing, asserting, and enforcing claims unless
our interests are overridden by your rights and interests in the protection of your
personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Intended data transfer to third countries
At present, data transfer to third countries is not planned. Otherwise we will establish the
required legal conditions. In particular, you will be informed of the respective
recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data in line with the legal
requirements.
Security
BlueWind takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any
personal data you provide to BlueWind from accidental or intentional manipulation,
loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized parties. This also applies to any external
services purchased. We verify the effectiveness of our data protection measures and
continuously improve them in line with technological development.

Standard periods for deletion of data:
Legislation has defined numerous data storage periods and obligations. At the end of
these periods, the relevant data will be routinely deleted. Data that are not affected by

or defense of legal claims. To assert your above right, please contact the contact
