Your data is collected, on the one hand, by you providing it to us. This can be, for example, data that you enter into a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior.

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have a right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. For this and other questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time.

When visiting this website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is primarily done with so-called analysis programs. Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found in the following data protection declaration.

Data protectionThe operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously.

Storage periodUnless a more specific storage period has been stated within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke 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, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to exist.

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company.Christian BuschTelefon: +1 929 245 0531E-Mail: christian@werfl.comSouthwest 7thStreet 78United StatesMiami, FL 33130

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that a data protection level comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

1. We store the data until you revoke your consent.

2. Should a contractual relationship between us arise after the processing based on your consent, we will additionally store some of your data until the expiry of the statutory retention periods. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with § 147 AO and § 257 HGB. According to this, certain data must also be kept after the purpose has been achieved. For example, we may be obliged to keep data about you from books and records, inventories, annual financial statements, individual financial statements according to § 325 para. 2a HGB, consolidated financial statements, management reports, opening balance sheets, booking vouchers, documents according to Article 15 para. 1 and Article 163 of the Union Customs Code, commercial books and the associated work instructions and other organizational documents for ten years. The retention period generally begins at the end of the calendar year in which the respective document was created (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with § 147 AO or § 257 HGB). Data about you from received commercial or business letters, their reproductions and other documents relevant for taxation must be kept for six years. The retention period generally begins at the end of the calendar year in which the respective document was created (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with § 147 AO or § 257 HGB).

1. Insofar as we obtain your consent for processing, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. This is usually possible by an informal notification to us (see "Responsible person" above).2. We point out that when obtaining consent, we process further personal data from you. This includes identification features (e.g. name, e-mail address, IP address) and log data for consent (time, status, scope of consent). We base this data processing on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR. The purpose is the necessity to be able to prove your consent.3. We store the identification features and log data for consent until the end of the third calendar year after the year in which you revoked your consent. The legal basis for this retention is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest lies in being able to prove within the relevant civil law limitation period that and what you have consented to.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their workplace or the place of the alleged violation. The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portabilityYou have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

You have the right at any time, within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data happened/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The use of contact data published within the framework of the impressum obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam e-mails.

For communication with our customers, we use online conference tools, among others. The tools we use in detail are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool. The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use to use the tools (e-mail address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other "context information" related to the communication process (metadata). In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for the execution of online communication. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating and system version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection. If content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, this will also be stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes in particular cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared during the use of the service. Please note that we have no complete influence on the data processing operations of the tools used. Our possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the data protection declarations of the tools used, which we have listed below this text.

The conference tools are used to communicate with potential or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Insofar as consent has been requested, the use of the tools concerned takes place on the basis of this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Storage periodThe data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.
