The data and information you provide us with is used, among other things, for processing orders, processing payments, delivering goods, providing customer service, and for customer campaigns (e.g. prize draws) or marketing and advertising purposes as indicated below.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is either the law or your consent.

a. When visiting our Websites

When you access our Websites, the browser you use on your end device automatically sends information to our Websites' server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called logfile. The following information is collected without you needing to do anything and is saved until such time as it is automatically erased:

• IP address of computer making the query;
• Date and time of access;
• Name and URL of file accessed;
• Website, from which the page was accessed (Referrer URL);
• Browser used; and
• where applicable, the operating system of your computer; and
• the name of your access provider.

We process the data indicated for administrative purposes, in particular to guarantee a smooth connection to the Website and comfortable use of our Website, and for analyzing the security and stability of the system.

The legal basis for the data processing is Article 6(1)(1), point f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes of data collection indicated above. We never use the data we collect for the purpose of drawing conclusions concerning your person. We also use cookies and analysis services for visits to our Website. For more information on how we use these, see § 4 of this Privacy Policy.

b. For execution of a contract

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions on data protection in order to fulfill contractual obligations (Article 6(1), point b) GDPR). Data are processed in the context of execution of our contracts with our customers and in order to conduct pre-contractual measures upon request.

c. For direct marketing

Insofar as we receive your mailing and/or email address in connection with the sale of goods or services, and provided you have consented to such, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for other products in our range that are similar to the products you have already purchased, either by mail or email. We have a legitimate interest in the use of your personal data for direct marketing of related products and services (Article 6(1)(1), point f) GDPR). You can object to this use of your mailing and/or email address at any time by sending a message to one of the contact partners indicated. This does not cost you anything other than standard mailing/network data rates.

If we have received your mailing and email address in connection with your participation in a prize draw on our Website or at an in-person event, your data will be processed for the purpose of drawing a winner; if we have received your mailing and email address in connection with your participation in a survey, your data will be processed for the purpose of delivering the results of the survey.

We furthermore reserve the right to regularly inform you of offers on products from our range, either by mail or email. The use of your data is based on Article 6(1)(1), point b) GDPR.

You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes at any time. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. You can submit your objection to datenschutz@bauverlag.de in any format using the subject line "Objection" and stating your name and address.

For more information on what rights you have, please see § 6 of this Privacy Policy.

d. Signing up for our newsletter

Provided you have explicitly consented to such according to Article 6(1)(1), point a) GDPR, we will use your email address to send you our regular newsletter. You only need to give us your surname and an email address to receive the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time, such as via the link at the bottom of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can contact us at info@bauverlag.de at any time to inform us that you wish to unsubscribe. The lawfulness of any communication conducted up to that point shall not be affected by your unsubscribing.

e. Using our contact form

You can get in touch with us via the contact form provided on our website. To do this, you must provide your name and a valid email address so that we can see who the query is coming from and respond to it. Data processing for the purposes of getting in touch with us is performed according to Article 6(1)(1), point a) GDPR on the basis of your explicit consent.

f. Signing up for our customer portal under "Bauwelt"

On www.bauwelt.de, you have the option of signing up for our customer portal which allows you to test the Bauwelt Digital Upgrade for free. We process the data you provide when registering on the basis of Article 6(1)(1), point b) GDPR for the purpose of sending you the items.

g. Applicant data

We process the data you send us in connection with your application in order to assess your suitability for a certain position and to conduct the application process. The legal basis for processing your personal data is primarily Sec. 26 BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act). Thereafter, we are permitted to process data so long as this is necessary in connection with making a decision on establishing an employment relationship. If data are required after the conclusion of the application process, e.g. for pursuing legal claims, we may process data on the basis of the conditions of Article 6(1)(1), point f) GDPR in order to exercise legitimate interests; our interest in this case consists in the enforcement or defense of claims.

h. Using the "Bauwelt" mobile app

When you use the mobile app, an encrypted device ID (UDID, IMEI, SIM) from your mobile end device may also be transmitted so that you can use this application on your specific device. We need these data in order to provide the service and support. While you are using the mobile app, we automatically track the start and end of your session, any activated transactions (URLs) and, where applicable, any data you transmit and/or generate for the purposes of error and performance analysis and to track activated transactions (URLs). If you would like to use location-related services, you must consent to the collection and use of location data. You can block access to your location data at any time via the settings in your mobile app. If you delete the mobile app from your mobile end device, we will stop collecting personal data. Insofar as Bauverlag mobile apps are provided in cooperation with app providers, these providers may require customers to accept their T&Cs and privacy policies in order to use the Bauverlag mobile app. Bauverlag does not monitor and/or sign off on these policies. Please note that app providers may determine the way, in which the Bauverlag mobile app uses and processes the data collected. For further details, please see the T&Cs and privacy policies of the respective app provider.

3. Forwarding data to third parties

We do not transmit your personal data to third parties other than for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy.

We only forward your personal data to third parties if:

• You have given your explicit consent according to Article 6(1)(1), point a) GDPR;
• The data must be forwarded according to Article 6(1)(1), point f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and there are no grounds to assume that you have a legitimate interest in your data not being forwarded that outweighs our interest;
• In the event of a legal obligation to forward the data according to Article 6(1)(1), point c) GDPR; and
• This is legally permissible and necessary according to Article 6(1)(1), point b) GDPR in order to execute contractual relationships with you.
