For the purpose of fraud prevention, we transmit your personal data to CRIF Bürgel GmbH, Radlkoferstraße 2, 81373 Munich. In accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests in our protection against fraud, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests.

§ 7 Assessment of creditworthiness

If we make delivery before payment - e.g. in the case of purchase by invoice - we can, pursuant to Article 22(2)(a) GDPR, legitimately request confirmation of identity and information on creditworthiness from specialised service providers (credit-reporting agencies) for the purpose of concluding the contract. This may also be done at irregular intervals in the case of long-standing customers. For this purpose, we provide your name and contact data to the corresponding service provider, which then returns the requested credit assessment to us.

We currently cooperate with the following service provider (credit-reporting agency):

  • CRIF Bürgel GmbH / Radlkoferstraße 2, 81373 Munich, Germany

CRIF Bürgel receives our requests for credit assessment of customers located in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The legal basis for processing this data is Article 6(1)(1), letters b) and f) GDPR. The exchange of data with CRIF Bürgel GmbH also ensures compliance with legal duties related to credit assessment (Articles 505 and 506 of the German Civil Code).

CRIF Bürgel GmbH processes the data obtained and also uses them to create profiles (scoring) in order to provide its associates in the European Economic Area, in Switzerland and, where appropriate, in other third countries (for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision) with information which can be adequately employed, inter alia, to assess the creditworthiness of natural persons.

Further information on the activities of CRIF Bürgel GmbH can be obtained from the company's information sheet (https://www.angelsport.de/out/media/cms-pdf/rights/crif-infoblatt.pdf) or online at https://www.crif.de/privacy.

We have no influence on the data gathered nor on the methods used for data processing, nor do we possess information regarding the full extent of the data gathered, the purposes of processing, nor the storage periods. Neither do we possess any information regarding the erasure of the recorded data by the service provider.

If you do not wish us to assess your creditworthiness, we recommend that you choose a purchase option that does not require credit assessment, e.g. direct payment by credit card. In this case, we have no right to carry out such an assessment nor any interest in doing so.

§ 8 Dept collection

If invoices are not paid despite repeated reminders, we will transfer the necessary data to our debt-collection service Creditreform Münster Riegel & Riegel KG, Scharnhorststr. 46, 48151 Muenster, Germany or sell the receivables to said service. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in the settlement of receivables pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

In this case, it is the debt-collection service that is responsible for processing the data within its corporate environment. We have no influence on the data gathered nor on the methods used for data processing, nor do we possess information regarding the full extent of the data gathered, the purposes of processing, nor the storage periods. Neither do we possess any information regarding the erasure of the recorded data by the service provider. Further information regarding data protection by the debt-collection agency can be found at https://www.creditreform.de/muenster/datenschutz

Adequate measures are taken for protecting your rights and freedoms. You have the possibility to contact us in order to present your views and contest the decision. (Information for contacting the persons or companies responsible for contact data and the data protection officer can be found below.)

Once the contract has been fulfilled completely, all data processed by our company relating to its fulfilment will be erased if you have not expressly authorised us to continue using them and if no legal obligation exists to preserve them under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. We are required to preserve data related to orders and the initiation of contracts for up to 10 years for tax reasons.

If such information is processed, you can require us to send you the following information:

  2. the categories of the personal data processed;
  3. the recipients and/or categories of recipients to which personal data relating to you have been disclosed or will subsequently be disclosed;

  6. the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  7. all information available regarding the source of the data insofar as personal data have not been provided by the person concerned;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to require that you be informed whether personal data relating to you are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer under Article 46 GDPR.

2. Right to rectification

Article 16 GDPR

You have the right to require that we rectify and/or complete personal data relating to you and processed by us if said information is incorrect or incomplete. We must do this without undue delay.

3. Right to restriction of processing

Article 18 GDPR

You have the right to obtain from us the restriction of processing of personal data concerning you where one of the following applies:

  1. the accuracy of the personal data concerning you is contested by you, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of said data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  3. we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  4. you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override your legitimate grounds.

Where processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 Union or of a Member State.

If restriction of processing has been implemented on the above grounds, you shall be informed by us before said restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

Article 17 GDPR

a) Obligation to erase data

You can instruct us to erase personal data relating to you without undue delay, and we have the obligation to erase these data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

  1. the personal data relating to you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
  2. you withdraw consent on which the processing was based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal ground for the processing;
  3. you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no other overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR;
  4. the personal data relating to you have been unlawfully processed.

If we have made the personal data relating to you public and are obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase said data, we shall, taking into account available technology and the costs of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform the controllers which are processing your personal data of your request to delete any links to, or copy and replication of, those personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

  1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9(2) as well as Article 9(3) GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR insofar as the right referred to in point (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  5. for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to information

Article 19 GDPR

Should you present us with a claim asserting your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we shall be obliged to inform each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed of such rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about those recipients if you request it.

6. Right to data portability

Article 20 GDPR

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition to this, you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance where:

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1); and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you further have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible. The exercise of this right shall not adversely affect the freedoms and rights of others.

The right to data portability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

7. Right to object

Article 21 GDPR

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1), including profiling based on those provisions.

We shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing. This includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to withdrawal of consent for processing personal data

Article 7(3) GDPR

You have the right to withdraw your consent for processing personal data concerning you at any time. Withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You can withdraw your consent by writing to: Askari Sport GmbH, Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 4, 59348 Lüdinghausen, Germany, service@askari-fishing.com

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Article 22 GDPR

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision:

  1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and us;
  2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases cited in points (1) and (3), we shall provide for suitable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Article 77 GDPR

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
