on the servers of the host. These may include, but are not limited to, IP addresses,
contact requests, metadata and communications, contract information, contact information,
names, web page access, and other data generated through a web site.

The external hosting serves the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential
and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast, 
and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 
6(1)(f) GDPR). If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried
out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar the
consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user's
end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. This consent

Our hosts will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance
obligations and to follow our instructions with respect to such data.

We are using the following hosts:

RegioHelden GmbH
 Rotebühlstraße 50 70178 Stuttgart Germany

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned
service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they
process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and
in compliance with the GDPR.

## General information and mandatory information

### Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal
data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information
and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection
Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected.
Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data
Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we
use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is
collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through
e- mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely
protect data against third-party access.

### Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:

 Derya Altun
Halderstraße 25 86150 Augsburg

Phone: 0821 - 815 377 34
 E-mail: [kurt@elite-leasing.de](https://www.eliteinternational-en.de/datenschutz/kurt@elite-leasing.de?output_format=md)

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly
with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing
of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

### Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy,
your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected
no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your
consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally
permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law 
retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these
reasons cease to apply.

### General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis
of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed
according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of
personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (
1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to 
information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing
is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation
of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation,
we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing
may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(
f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided
in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

### Information on the data transfer to third-party countries that are not secure under data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified

We use, among other technologies, tools from companies located in third-party countries
that are not safe under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers
are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are
enabled, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries.
We would like you to note that no level of data protection comparable to that in
the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are insecure in terms of data protection
law.

We would like to point out that the US, as a secure third-party country, generally
has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the
US is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy
Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional assurances. Information on transfers
to third-party countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this Privacy
Policy.

### Recipients of personal data

In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties.
In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external
parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required 
as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (
e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in
the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits
the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose personal data
of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case
of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

### Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express
consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. 
This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred
prior to your revocation.

### Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f 
GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal
data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any
profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any 
processing of data is based, please consult this data protection declaration. Of
you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless
we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing
of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose
of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (
objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising,
you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your affected personal
data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the
extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal
data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection
pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).

### Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint
with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually 
maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation
occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative
or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

### Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process
on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to 
you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should 
demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done 
only if it is technically feasible.

### Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at
any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and 
recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have
a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this
subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate
to contact us at any time.

### Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing
of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The
right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

 * In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by
   us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that
   this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict 
   the processing of your personal data.
 * If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner,
   you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data 
   in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
 * If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, 
   defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction
   of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
 * If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and 
   our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not 
   been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction
   of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the
exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or 
to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other
natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited
by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

### SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such
as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website
uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection
by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “
https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read
by third parties.

### Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with
the mandatory information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional
and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of 
this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the
event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM
messages.

## Recording of data on this website

### Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are
small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either
stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently
archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted
once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device 
until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web
browser.

Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-
called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain
services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment
services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since
certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., 
the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used 
to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.

Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions,
for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart
function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of
the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience),
shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis
is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of
required cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of
the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar
recognition technologies has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on
the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this consent
may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified
any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific
cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general
or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the
browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be
limited.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy
policy.

### Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information
in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically.
The information comprises:

 * The type and version of browser used
 * The used operating system
 * Referrer URL
 * The hostname of the accessing computer
 * The time of the server inquiry
 * The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website
has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization
of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

### Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting
personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose
of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related
to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual
measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate
interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the
consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request
us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage
lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions -
in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

## Plug-ins and Tools

### Vimeo Without Tracking (Do-Not-Track)

This website uses plugins of the Vimeo video portal. The provider is Vimeo Inc.,
555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

Whenever you visit one of our pages featuring Vimeo videos, a connection with the
servers of Vimeo is established. In conjunction with this, the Vimeo server receives
information about which of our sites you have visited. Vimeo also receives your 
IP address. However, we have set up Vimeo in such a way that Vimeo cannot track 
your user activities and does not place any cookies.

We use Vimeo to make our online presentation attractive for you. This is a legitimate
interest on our part pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If a respective declaration 
of consent was requested (e.g. concerning the storage of cookies), processing shall
occur exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the given consent may be revoked
at any time.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of
the European Commission and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests”.
Details can be found here: [https://vimeo.com/privacy](https://vimeo.com/privacy).

policy at: [https://vimeo.com/privacy](https://vimeo.com/privacy).

### Google Maps

This website uses the mapping service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland
Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To enable the use of the Google Maps features, your IP address must be stored. As
a rule, this information is transferred to one of Google’s servers in the United
States, where it is archived. The operator of this website has no control over the
data transfer. In case Google Maps has been activated, Google has the option to 
use Google Fonts for the purpose of the uniform depiction of fonts. When you access
Google Maps, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache,
to correctly display text and fonts.

We use Google Maps to present our online content in an appealing manner and to make
the locations disclosed on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate
interest as defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been obtained,
the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §
25 (1) TDDDG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access 
to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the
meaning of the TDDDG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of
the European Commission. Details can be found here: [https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/](https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/)
and [https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/](https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/).

For more information on the handling of user data, please review Google’s Data Privacy
Declaration under: [https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en](https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en).

The company is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (
DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended
to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing
in the US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to comply with these
data protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider under
the following link: [https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active](https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active)

## eCommerce and payment service providers

### Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment,
content arrangement and modification of our contractual relationships. Data with
personal references to the use of this website (usage data) will be collected, processed,
and used only if this is necessary to enable the user to use our services or required
for billing purposes. The legal basis for these processes is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
