Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the OHB Information Technology Services GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the OHB Information Technology Services GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. 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 (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to OHB Information Technology Services GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, OHB Information Technology Services GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.

6. Collection of general data and information
The website of OHB Information Technology Services GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following can be collected:
(1) browser types and versions 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 that 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 avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, OHB Information Technology Services GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to
(1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
(2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
(3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and
(4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by OHB Information Technology Services GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately 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.
7. SSL or TLS encryption
Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. 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 send to us cannot be read by third parties.
8. Contact option via the website
Due to legal regulations, the OHB Information Technology Services GmbH website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form , the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
10. Rights of the data subject
a) right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact the data protection officer at any time.
b) right to information
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller at any time, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she may contact the Data Protection Officer at any time.
c) right to rectification
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact the Data Protection Officer at any time.
d) right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the controller to erase the personal data concerning him or her immediately, unless the processing is no longer necessary:
If a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by OHB Information Technology Services GmbH, the data protection officer of OHB Information Technology Services GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
The data protection officer of OHB Information Technology Services GmbH will arrange the necessary deletion in individual cases in accordance with Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR, provided that processing is no longer required.
e) right to restriction of processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:
• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by OHB Information Technology Services GmbH, he or she may contact the data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer of OHB Information Technology Services GmbH will arrange for the processing to be restricted.
f) right to data portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was made available to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to hand over this data to a third party. If technically feasible and this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, the data may be transmitted directly to another controller.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the data protection officer of OHB Information Technology Services GmbH at any time.
g) right to object
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions .
In the event of an objection, OHB Information Technology Services GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If OHB Information Technology Services GmbH processes personal data in order to conduct direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to OHB Information Technology Services GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, OHB Information Technology Services GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by OHB Information Technology Services GmbH for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR , unless such processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer of OHB Information Technology Services GmbH directly.
h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she can contact the data protection officer at any time.
i) Right to revoke consent to data protection
If you have given us your consent to process personal data in accordance with Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 TDDDG, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a or Article 9 Paragraph 2 Letter a of GDPR, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact the data protection officer at any time.
j) right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
11. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax or commercial obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person; in this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to protect 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 permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
12. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.
13. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of 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 would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax or commercial law regulations) or can also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform 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 what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.
14. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling .
15. Social media plugins
We use social media buttons ( also known as social media plug-ins) on our website . These are small buttons that allow you to publish content from our website on social networks under your profile.
If you activate such a button, a connection is established between our website and the relevant social network. In addition to the relevant content, the operator of the social network receives further information, some of which is personal. This includes, for example, the fact that you are currently visiting our site.
The integration of the social media buttons is carried out using the so-called Shariff solution. This solution prevents a connection to a social network from being established simply because you call up a page with a social media button without activating it. This means that information is only transmitted to the social network when you use the button.
We use the following social media plugins:
