The legal ground for the data processing is point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is derived from the purposes of the data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of identifying you.

In addition, we use cookies and analysis services during visits to our website. You will find more detailed explanatory comments under sections 4 and 5 of this privacy statement.

In so far as you have given your explicit consent in accordance with point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR, we use your email address to send you our newsletter at regular intervals. The entry of an email address is sufficient for the receipt of the newsletter.

You may unsubscribe at any time, e.g. by using a link found at the end of every newsletter. Alternatively, you can send your request to unsubscribe at any time in an email to info@hanse-aerospace.net.

c) When you use our contact form

Whenever you have questions of any kind, you can contact us using the form we have made available on the website. This requires the entry of a valid email address so that we know who is sending us the query and so that we can respond. Other information may be provided voluntarily.

The processing for the purpose of establishing contact with us is carried out pursuant to point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR on the basis of your freely given consent. Furthermore, it may be necessary for you to enter the VAT ID of your company because we are legally obligated to check the VAT obligations of our customers. We will not use the VAT ID for any other purpose than the determination of tax liability. We collect, process and use the data solely and exclusively for the handling of your query or order.

  • You have given your explicit consent to the transfer pursuant to point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR;
  • The transfer is necessary pursuant to point (f) of Art. 6 (1) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in preventing the transfer of your data;

4. Cookies

We use cookies on our site. Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any harm to your device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

The information stored in the cookie is related to the specific device that is in use. This does not mean, however, that we obtain direct information regarding your identity from it.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our service more convenient for you. For instance, we use so-called session cookies to recognise when you have previously visited specific pages of our website. These cookies are automatically erased when you leave our site.

In addition, we use temporary cookies to optimise the user friendliness of the site; they are stored for a defined period of time on your device. If you visit our site again to take advantage of our services, the site automatically recognises that you have previously visited the site and remembers what entries and settings you made at that time, so you do not have to go through this process again.

Another reason for our use of cookies is the tracking of the use of our website statistically and the analysis of the statistics for the optimisation of our service for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to determine automatically that you have previously visited our site when you make a return visit. These cookies are automatically erased after a specifically defined time.

The data processed by cookies are necessary for the described purposes in the pursuit of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of third parties pursuant to point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can, however, configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer or that you are always notified before a new cookie is created. The complete blocking of cookies can, however, mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Analysis tool

The tracking activities described below and that we employ are carried out on the basis of point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. Our intention in the use of the tracking activities is to secure the design appropriate to use and the ongoing optimisation of our website. Another reason for our use of the tracking activities is to record the use of our website statistically and to analyse the statistics for the optimisation of our service for you. These interests are legitimate within the sense of the aforementioned provision.

The purposes of the processing and the data categories are shown in the pertinent tracking tools.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google”). This analysis service creates pseudonymised user profiles and uses cookies (see section 4). The information about your use of this website generated by the cookie such as

  • Browser type/release
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the previously accessed site)
  • Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
  • Time of the server query

is transferred to a Google server USA and stored there. The information is used to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to perform other services relating to the use of the website and of the internet for market research purposes and for the purpose of designing this internet site in accordance with needs. This information may possibly be transferred to third parties if this is legally required or to the extent that third parties process these data on a commission basis. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymised so that no attribution is possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we expressly point out that doing so may prevent you from being able to use all of the functions on this website in their full scope.

Moreover, you can prevent the capture of the data generated by the cookie and related to your activities on the website (including your IP address) and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing a browser addon (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Alternatively to the browser addon, especially for the use of browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent data capture by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. It will set an opt-out cookie that prevents the future capture of your data during your visits to this website. The opt-out cookie is effective solely on this specific device and solely for our website and is stored on your device. If you erase all the cookies in your browser, you will have to set the opt-out cookie once again.

You will find additional information about privacy relating to Google Analytics in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

6. The platform offer is supplemented by the AVIPEO app, which can be downloaded in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. By registering on the platform, the user can also use the features of the app, once the app is installed on the user’s device/terminal; conversely, the user of the app also receives a profile on the platform.

As far as costs arise for additional offers, these shall be indicated on the platform in connection with the respective offer. A separate contract shall be brought about for these offers/functions.



§ 4 Posting Information by Registered Users

1. For registered users, AVIPEO offers a platform function where news, opinions and information can be exchanged. In addition, registered users can create an own profile and upload texts, photos, publications as well as videos on the platform. This also includes that users, by posting appropriate information with keywords (tags), can be found by other users and companies searching for certain keywords and/or tags. Registered users can also place ads. Such advertisements are placed through integration of the shop system provided by OXID eSales AG (http://www.oxid-esales.com/); afterwards, the ads are posted on the AVIPEO platform.

2. Polite and respectful conduct of the registered users among each other is expected. The use or pretense of fake identity is prohibited; the same applies for offensive, racist or sexist comments and contributions. It is not permitted to publish any contents containing viruses, other malicious software, files or programs, that were developed to disturb, damage, limit or interfere with the function of software, hardware or telecommunication devices, or gain unauthorized access to systems, data, passwords or other information of AVIPEO or third parties.

3. When posting news, information, photos and files, registered users shall also observe the national and international copyrights and trademarks, patents rights, right to names and labels, as well as any other industrial property rights and personal rights of third parties. Also, any unauthorized form of advertising over the platform is also prohibited. Intellectual property rights (such as copyrights and trademark rights) to any contents, such as photos/texts, logos etc. of AVIPEO are owned by AVIPEO and may not be taken over/utilized by users.

4. AVIPEO is authorized (but not obligated) to check all information published by registered users (including hyperlinks) to determine whether the legal requirements have been complied with. Otherwise AVIPEO, among other things, shall be entitled to delete the respective information from the platform. In such cases, registered users shall be informed by AVIPEO via E-mail of the deletion.

5. Registered users shall be obligated to indemnify AVIPEO, the Hanse-Aerospace Wirtschaftsdienst GmbH and the Hanse-Aerospace e.V. as well as any of their subsidiaries, joint enterprises, agents and employees, from legal action or other claims and damages of any kind which could arise due to improper use of the platform. Above all, registered users shall undertake to release AVIPEO from liability with regard to claims based on infringement of the personal honor of others or resulting from insult or any other misconduct or disparagement. Also, AVIPEO shall be indemnified from liability claims on behalf of registered users resulting from services which have not been rendered or because of violated other rights (especially infringements regarding copyright, competition law and trademarks). Should AVIPEO incur legal costs in order to counter damage claims by third parties resulting from one of the aforementioned violations, then the registered user must bear these costs in this case; this derives from the obligation to indemnify.


















§ 5 Data Protection

1. AVIPEO ensures to handle all personal data provided by registered users carefully and responsibly. By registering on the platform, the user declares of being aware, that data provided in connection with the user profile can be visible to other users of the platform. Also, other users can see when a user positively evaluates a post on the platform by marking it with „Like“ (click on heart symbol).

2. The laws regarding data protection are complied with by AVIPEO; particularly the EU basic Regulation on Data Protection (Regulation [EU] 2016/679), the Federal Data Protection Act and the data protection provisions of the Telemedia Act.

3. As a general rule, third parties shall not receive personal data of an AVIPEO user, unless the user has prior expressly permitted this, the data transfer is necessary for the execution of the contracts (e.g. transmission of the contact data to the contract partner for handling an order via this Platform) or there is a legal obligation for transfer of the data (e.g. to authorities, in particular to tax authorities for investigation of a tax liability).If a registered user has granted permission to transfer the data, this can be revoked at any time through a simple message via E-mail or by mail. In case of justified suspicion of an infringement, which AVIPEO considers given for example in case of legal correspondence and/or if a complaint is filed, AVIPEO shall first contact the user and request commenting. After this, AVIPEO shall decide at its own discretion to block the account as well as to provide the user data. In addition, AVIPEO reserves the right to assert claims for damages against the user, if AVIPEO is claimed on by third parties (including authorities) based on false statements and/or incorrect information on behalf of this user.

4. In other respects, the contents of the current Privacy Statement shall apply, which can be viewed under www.avipeo.com/privacy and in the footer at the bottom of the platform.

5. Users can revoke their consent to the use of the data by AVIPEO. The revocation can be submitted by mail or via E-mail to AVIPEO. In this case, AVIPEO shall delete the user’s account.













§ 6 Liability

1. AVIPEO is generally not responsible and shall not assume any liability for the information entered by registered users. To this extent, AVIPEO is a platform that provides only external contents. Therefore, AVIPEO shall also not be responsible for the contents and/or handling of a contract concluded by users via the platform. The users act on their own responsibility. The users themselves are responsible for the compatibility of their actions with the respectively applicable law, including the rules on cross-border imports and exports and the customs regulations.

2. AVIPEO and its external service providers (e.g. web host providers) always strive to maintain the server service to the platform around the clock. Should, contrary to expectation, temporary failures or technical problems occur, AVIPEO shall not assume any liability for possible waiting time while loading the Internet pages or for interruption of the services.

3. Should third parties succeed in obtaining access to private data of a registered user by means of illegal practices (e.g. so-called “hacking”), AVIPEO shall not assume any liability whatsoever. AVIPEO shall also not be liable when registered users have independently made data available to third parties, which are subject to misuse by the third parties.

4. The liability limitations above shall not apply in case of gross negligence or intent on behalf of AVIPEO or persons employed by AVIPEO.

5. AVIPEO has the express right, but not the duty, to check the contents of all information published by registered users for compliance with German law and, if necessary, to remove them completely or in part.

6. AVIPEO is authorized to stop the services of the platform – completely or in part – at any time without giving reasons and to delete all stored information, including that of the registered users.

7. In other respects, AVIPEO shall only assume liability with regard to users and registered users for minor negligence when violating essential contractual obligations – meaning such that are indispensable for achieving the contract objective (cardinal obligations) – as well as in case of injury to life, body or health, granted warranty, malice and in accordance with the Product Liability Act. In case of breach of cardinal obligations, the liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage. In addition, the pre-contractual, contractual and non-contractual liability of AVIPEO – particularly in the case of indirect damages such as loss of profit, personnel costs, loss of use and loss of sales – shall be limited to intent and gross negligence, whereby the limitation of liability also applies for fault attributable to persons employed by AVIPEO.
