Definition of personal data
In the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), personal data is defined as follows:
Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Legal basis for the collection of personal data
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of your personal data.
When processing your personal data to fulfil a contract between you and Roto Roof Windows and Hardware Ltd., Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data erasure and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or the processing restricted blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be restricted or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned legal provisions expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Personal data is only collected if you provide it voluntarily, for example to carry out an order, a survey, a contest or a registration for personalised services. There you will be informed about the intended purpose of processing and, if necessary, asked for your consent to storage.
The personal data collected within the framework of our websites will only be used without your consent for order processing or processing your enquiries and, if necessary, passed on to the responsible company within the Roto Frank Group.

Data transmission to other Group companies
A transfer of your data to third parties outside the Roto Frank Group does not take place, unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the transfer of data is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship, or you have previously expressly consented to the transfer of your data. External service providers and partner companies only receive your data if this is necessary to process your request. In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the required minimum. As far as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure that they comply with the regulations of the data protection laws in the same way. Please also note the respective privacy policy of the providers. The respective service provider is responsible for the contents of external services, whereby we check the services within the scope of reasonability for compliance with legal requirements.
Data transmission to external service providers (Processor)
Your data will be passed on to service partners, provided that they work on our behalf and support Roto Roof Windows and Hardware Ltd. in providing its services.
Processing of your personal data by contracted service providers takes place within the scope of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
The aforementioned service providers only have access to such personal information as is necessary for the performance of their respective activities. These service providers are prohibited from disclosing your personal information or using it for other purposes, in particular for their own advertising purposes.
Where external service providers come into contact with your personal data, we have taken legal, technical and organisational measures and carried out regular checks to ensure that they also comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
Your personal data will not be disclosed commercially to other companies.
Website optimization tools
When collecting personal data using website optimisation tools, we refer to our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit f. GDPR in conjunction with Recital 47, according to which direct marketing generally constitutes a legitimate interest. Your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh our interest in advertising, as we provide you with comprehensive information about data collection within the framework of our Privacy Policy and you have the option of opting out (via link or browser settings) at any time. In addition, we only use pseudonym tracking.
