Privacy Policy
General Information
As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This includes all data that can be used to identify you. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose, and on what legal basis we process your data.
The entity responsible for data processing on this website and in our company is:
BEVATECH GmbH
Nordendstraße 2
64546 Mörfelden-Walldorf
Phone: +49 (0) 6105 3237320
Email: info@bevatech.com
General Notes
SSL or TLS Encryption
When you enter data on websites, place online orders, or send emails over the Internet, you must always assume that unauthorized third parties could access your data. Complete protection against such access is not possible. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as effectively as possible and to close any security gaps within our power.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon before the entered internet address in your browser and by the fact that our internet address begins with https:// instead of http://.
How long do we store your data?
In some sections of this privacy policy, we inform you how long we or the companies processing your data on our behalf store your data. If such information is missing, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing, or you revoke your consent to the data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
- We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing data processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms (only applies to objections to data processing; if the objection is directed against direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).
- Data processing is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is against direct marketing).
- We are legally obligated to retain your data.
In such cases, we delete your data once the condition(s) no longer applies/apply.
Data Transfer to the USA
We also use tools from companies on our website that transfer your data to the USA, where they store and possibly process it further. This is particularly important for you because your data in the USA does not enjoy the same protection as within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For instance, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without allowing you to take legal action against this as the affected person. Thus, US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Your Rights
Right to Object to Data Processing
IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE BASE THIS PROCESSING ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS UNDER ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU PROVIDE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO JUSTIFICATION IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:
- WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS.
- THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS AGAINST DIRECT MARKETING OR PROFILING ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
Additional Rights
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your consent. For example, you give this consent by checking a box in online forms before submitting the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without providing reasons (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data. The only exception is if we are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period. Such retention periods exist especially in tax and commercial law.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
If you believe that we are violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right under Art. 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists in addition to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
Data that we process automatically based on your consent or in the fulfillment of a contract must be handed to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request it. We can only transfer the data to another responsible party if this is technically possible.
Right to Access, Erasure, and Rectification of Data
You have the right under Art. 15 GDPR to receive information free of charge about what personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transfer the data, and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you can request the erasure of the data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
In certain situations, you can request the restriction of the processing of your data under Art. 18 GDPR. Apart from storage, the data may then only be processed as follows:
- With your consent
- To assert, exercise, or defend legal claims
- To protect the rights of another natural or legal person
- For reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state
The right to restrict processing applies in the following situations:
- You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, and we need time to verify this. The right exists for the duration of the verification.
- The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. Here, the right exists as an alternative to erasure of the data.
- We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. Here, the right exists as an alternative to erasure of the data.
- You have objected under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, and now your and our interests need to be weighed against each other. The right exists as long as the outcome of the weighing is not yet determined.

Data Collection on This Website
Use of Cookies
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies, it would not be possible to use the benefits of a shopping cart in an online store. Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, such as to process payment transactions, these companies may also place cookies on your device when you visit the website (so-called third-party cookies).
How Do We Process Your Data?
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. Once you close the browser, they disappear on their own. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can lead to your user behavior being analyzed permanently. You can influence how your browser handles cookies through its settings:
- Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
- Do you want to exclude cookies generally or in certain cases?
- Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close the browser?
If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be restricted.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in this privacy policy. We also ask for your consent when you access our website.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online services can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available. Therefore, the storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. All other cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if you give us the appropriate consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies, the storage of these cookies is also based solely on your consent.

https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/
How Do We Process Your Data?

These data are not transmitted to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.
We store the data as long as the purpose of the data storage exists, you delete the Borlabs cookie, or you request us to delete the data. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. To fulfill this obligation, we use Borlabs Cookie. The legal basis for data processing is thus Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.
Server Log Files
Server log files record all requests and accesses to our website and log error messages. They also include personal data, particularly your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so we cannot attribute the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.
How Do We Process Your Data?
Our provider stores the server log files to trace activities on our website and identify errors. The files contain the following data:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address (if applicable, anonymized)
We do not merge these data with other data but use them solely for statistical analysis and to improve our website.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring our website runs without errors. We also have a legitimate interest in obtaining an anonymized overview of access to our website. Therefore, data processing is lawful under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax
You can send us a message by email or fax or call us.
How Do We Process Your Data?
We store your message and the contact details you provide, including the transmitted phone number, to process your inquiry and any follow-up questions. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.
How Long Do We Store Your Data?
We delete your data as soon as one of the following points occurs:
- Your inquiry has been conclusively processed.
- You request us to delete the data.
- You revoke your consent to storage.
This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
If your inquiry is related to our contractual relationship or serves to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is in our legitimate interest to process inquiries addressed to us effectively. The legal basis for data processing is thus Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
