We are pleased about your visit to our website and your interest in our services and offers. Data protection is an important topic for the controller according to Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR, Recaster Software GmbH (hereinafter >Recaster< or >we<), as operator of the website www.alexanderjost.com. The protection of your personal rights is of great importance to us.

1. Scope

This privacy policy applies to the use of the website alexanderjost.com including its translated versions ("our website").

2. Collection of personal data when visiting our website

If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to guarantee stability and security. The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The collected data includes:

• IP address,
• Date and time of the request,
• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT),
• Content of the request (specific page),
• Access status/HTTP status code,
• Amount of data transferred in each case,
• Website from which the request comes,
• Browser,
• Operating system and its interface as well as
• Language and version of the browser software.

We collect and use your personal data obtained through the use of our internet services only within the legally permissible framework and only for the purpose for which you have provided it to us (e.g. requesting information materials, entering comments, newsletter orders, registration for the DMG Expert Lounge). The collected data is subject to extensive security measures that prevent unauthorized access, prevent misuse and protect against destruction or loss of data. Data transmission over the Internet takes place using SSL encryption.

3. Contact via E-Mail

When you contact us by e-mail, the data you provide (your e-mail address, if applicable your name and telephone number as well as the content of your message) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. Your data will be processed within the framework of pre-contractual measures or based on your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit a) and b) GDPR. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations. In the context of contacting us via our website, we collect the following data:

• IP address of the target e-mail server
• Date and time of the request
• E-mail address of the sender
• Content of the request

If you send us an e-mail with confidential content, we strongly recommend that you encrypt it to prevent unauthorized knowledge and falsification during transmission.

4. Logfiles

Each time our website is accessed, data and information are automatically collected from the computer system of the calling computer.

This involves the following data:

1. Information about the browser type and the version used
2. Operating system of the user
3. The IP address of the user
4. Date and time of access
5. Host name of the accessing computer
6. Referrer URL (i.e. the address of the website from which users call up our website).

The purpose of the processing is the analysis of error states. The analysis and evaluation of this data takes place exclusively on an event-related basis, i.e. in the event of malfunctions or inexplicable load behavior of the website. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR, as it corresponds to our legitimate interests to offer you a stable and functional website and to protect it from unauthorized access.

5. Storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which we as the controller are subject.

If a bank account is collected for reimbursement in the course of a package cancellation, this will be stored for 10 days for the processing of the reimbursement. If the customer provides a new e-mail address for the cancellation confirmation upon cancellation, this will be deleted after 6 months at the latest. The remaining customer data will be deleted six years after cancellation. Exceptions to this are documents subject to longer statutory retention periods (see below).

IP addresses are stored for a maximum period of 31 days.

The log data is deleted after two weeks, whereby the collected IP addresses are anonymized after just seven days.

In addition, retention periods may exist according to tax and commercial law requirements in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO) ranging from six (§ 146 AO) to ten years (§ 257 HGB). The legal basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with the respective statutory regulation. If necessary, your data will be blocked for ongoing operations during this time, provided that there is no longer any other purpose for processing.

6. Rights of the data subject

You have the right to assert the following data subject rights with regard to personal data concerning you at any time free of charge:

• Right to information
• Right to rectification or erasure
• Right to restriction of processing
• Right to object to processing
• Right to data portability

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.

7. Revocation or objection to the processing of your data

If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke this at any time. Such a revocation affects the admissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.

Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary in particular for the fulfillment of a contract with you, which is shown by us in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

8. Deletion of personal data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions when the purpose of processing your data ceases to apply or it is no longer required for the purpose. Your data will also be deleted if the processing was based on your consent and you have revoked it.

It may be that the storage of your data is necessary for other legally permissible purposes, such as for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for the exercise of legal claims or for tax reasons. In these cases, your personal data will only be processed for these purposes.

9. Customer data processing

Within the scope of customer data processing, we collect and store to the required extent information such as surname and first name, address, e-mail address, telephone number/fax number, ordered goods/services, customer inquiry, date of inquiry.

We process this data (with the exception of your IP address) for the fulfillment and processing of contracts with you (incl. payment processing), of customer inquiries as well as for our own advertising purposes in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations.

The legal basis for the processing of your customer data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b), c) and f) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the purpose has ceased to apply, provided that no statutory retention periods (esp. from AO and HGB) conflict.

10. Questions about data protection

The constant further development of the Internet also affects the Recaster data protection strategy. Should you therefore have any questions, suggestions or comments on data protection at Recaster, you can send them by e-mail to the following address at any time: privacy@recaster.com.
