Privacy statement

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD. The use of the Internet pages of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally 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.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this data protection declaration, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) personal data

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.

b) Data subject

An affected person is every identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing is each procedure carried out with or without the help of automated procedures, or each such series of procedures in connection with personal data such as levying, recording, organization, filing, storage, adjustment or change, reading, querying, use, publication through transfer, distribution, or another form of provision, comparison or joining, limitation, deletion, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Limiting the processing is the marking of stored, personal data with the goal of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is every type of automated processing of personal data that consists of this personal data being used to evaluate certain personal aspects that relate to a natural person, in particular analyzing or predicting aspects as regards work performance, economic situation, health status, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, residence, or change of location of this natural person.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in a manner in which the personal data, without the supplementing of additional information, can no longer be assigned to a specific person in question, insofar as this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that guarantee that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller

Controller or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his designation may be provided for in Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) Processors

The data processor is a natural or legal person, authority, body, or another position that processes the personal data on behalf of the responsible party.

i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data under Union law or the law of the Member States in the context of a specific investigation mandate shall not be considered recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, body, or other position apart from the person in question, the responsible party, the processor, and the people who are authorized under the immediate responsibility of the responsible party or the processor to process the personal data.

k) Consent

Consent is the declaration of consent given by the person in question voluntarily for the case in question in informed fashion and without misunderstanding in the form of a declaration or an otherwise clearly confirmed treatment with which the person in question gives to understand that he or she is in agreement with the processing of the personal data in question.

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

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

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his access data every time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has added to the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through 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. In addition, cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The browser types and versions (1) used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent security in the event of attacks on our information technology systems, can be recorded.

When using these general data and information, the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our enterprise, and ultimately 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.

5. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter can be found in the input mask used for this purpose.

LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for sending the newsletter in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller by other means.

6. Newsletter tracking

The LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the sending of the newsletter and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

7. Contact possibility via the website

The website of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD 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 controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

8. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The party responsible for the processing processes and stores the personal data of the person in question only for the time frame that is necessary for achieving the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is provided by the European Regulators or another legislator in laws or in specifications that are incumbent upon the responsible party.

If the storage purpose is missing, or if a storage deadline prescribed by the European Regulators or another responsible legislator expires, the personal data is locked or deleted in routine fashion and in accordance with the legal specifications.

9. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

In addition, the data subject has a right of access to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer.

If the affected person would like to employ this right of information, they can turn at any time to an employee of the person responsible for processing.

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

If the affected person would like to employ this right of rectification, they can turn at any time to an employee of the person responsible for processing.

d) Right to deletion (right to be forgotten)

Each person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Regulators, to demand from the responsible party that they immediately delete the personal data in question, insofar as one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data is gathered for such purposes or is processed in another way for which it is no longer necessary.

The data subject withdraws his consent, to which the processing in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 Abs. 2 letter a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The data subject submits in accordance with Art. 21 Abs. 1 GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject submits an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 Abs. 2 DS-GVO object to the processing.

Personal data were illegally processed.

The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation in accordance with union rights or the right of member states to which the responsible party is subject.

The personal data have been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 par. 1 GDPR collected.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller. An employee of LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

If the personal data have been made public by LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD and our company is responsible in accordance with Art. 17 Abs. 1 GDPR, the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to these personal data or copies or replications of these personal data from these other controllers, insofar as the processing is not necessary. An employee of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Each person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Regulators, to demand from the responsible party the limitation of the processing, if one of the following requirements is met:

The correctness of the personal data is disputed by the affected person, and for such a length that enables the responsible party to review the correctness of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful, the affected person denies the deletion of the personal data, and instead demands the limitation of the use of the personal data.

The responsible party no longer needs the personal data for the purpose of processing; the affected person, however, needs it for the enforcement, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which have been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. It also has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data were provided, provided that the processing is based on the consent in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 Abs. 2 letter a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 letter b GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller.

If the LABELSOLUTIONS UK LTD processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing.

The data subject is also free to exercise his right of objection in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect on him or similarly significantly affects him, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation is appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the controller data subject or (3) with the express consent of the data subject.

10. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website was accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our Internet pages from a Member State of the European Union or from another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google serves, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

The cookie stores personal information, such as the access time, the place from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Every time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through 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. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of power, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

11. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to those processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are allowed to process such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

12. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 let f. GDPR, our legitimate interest is carrying out of our business activity in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

13. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

14. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. Tax regulations) or also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to conclude a contract to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of not providing the personal data.

15. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we reject automatic decision-making or profiling.

This data protection declaration was created by the data protection declaration generator of the DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as External Data Protection Officer Hamburg, in cooperation with the data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke.
