1. Fundamentals

TERREPOWER GmbH (hereinafter referred to as TERREPOWER) attaches great importance to data protection.

The TERREPOWER website can be used without providing any personal data.

The processing of personal data is necessary when services are used via our website.

We generally obtain the consent of the data subject if there is no legal basis for such processing.

The processing of personal data (such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject) is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

TERREPOWER has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that personal data is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

2. Name and address of the data controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is the:

TERREPOWER GmbHGregor-von-Brück-Ring 114822 Brück DeutschlandTel.: 033844 75 82 0 itGER@terrepower.com

4. Cookies

The Internet pages of TERREPOWER use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific Internet browser through which the cookie was stored. A specific Internet browser can thus be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, TERREPOWER can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

5. SSL encryption

Our website uses SSL encryption. This encryption is used, for example, for inquiries that you send to us via our website. Please make sure that SSL encryption is activated on your side for corresponding activities. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: the display in your browser address bar shows “https://”. Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties.

6. Data processing for the purpose of contract processing

TERREPOWER only collects and stores personal data that is necessary for the provision of services and processing of our contractual relationship with you and for payment purposes. These are:

  • Your name, date of birth, address, telephone number and e-mail address
  • the tariff you have ordered with the respective contract components
  • the domain you have ordered
  • Your bank details, if you have given us permission to use the direct debit procedure
  • Your connection data when placing the order, in particular the IP address used
  • Duration of access
  • Scope of the data transfer
  • Type of teleservice used

We assure you that your above data will only be used by us for the purpose of processing the contract. Your data will only be passed on if this is necessary and required for the execution of the contract and for the provision of our services as well as for payment purposes.

When registering domains, your name, address, e-mail address and, in special cases, your telephone number must be transmitted to the relevant registry. Furthermore, this data is published by the registry in a generally accessible database (whois query). This is necessary for the registration and use of the domain.

The data will only be used for the purposes of advertising, customer advice or market research if you have expressly consented and this is necessary.

7. Collection of general data and information

The TERREPOWER website collects a range of general data and information each time it is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (a) browser types and versions used, (b) the operating system used by the accessing system, (c) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (d) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (e) the date and time of access to the website, (f) an internet protocol address (IP address), (g) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (h) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, TERREPOWER does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, TERREPOWER analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

8. Contact possibility via the website

The website of TERREPOWER contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

9. Newsletter mailing

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require a valid e-mail address from you as well as your consent that you agree to receive it. Furthermore, we require your consent to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided. If you are not, we require the express consent of the owner to receive the newsletter. The e-mail address and the declaration of consent are stored by us. No other data is collected or stored.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time.

10. Deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by law or regulation.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a prescribed storage period expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

11. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purposes of the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted three months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by TERREPOWER, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. TERREPOWER's data protection officer or another employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.
