DATA PROTECTION
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH. Use of the websites of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. 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, for example the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about 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 responsible for processing, Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can in principle 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.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
In this data protection declaration we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means 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.
b) Data subject
Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for processing
Controller or controller responsible for processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent

3. Cookies
The websites of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can assign the cookie to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookie settings.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the user’s interest. Cookies allow us, as mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data again each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam 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 log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the 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 referrers), (4) the subpages accessed 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 danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, these anonymously collected data and information are evaluated statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.
6. Rights of the data subject

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

The employee of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing

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 and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(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 Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH at any time.
g) Right to object
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them by Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH or another employee directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Abschleppdienst RKA Abschleppdienst Potsdam GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
7. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allows the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller responsible for processing personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. In the course of this technical procedure, Facebook obtains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each call to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
8. Data protection provisions regarding the use of YouTube
The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips and other videos free of charge and enables other users to view, rate, and comment on them free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, music videos, trailers, or videos produced by users themselves can also be accessed via the portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.14dd5266c70789bdc806364df4586335-gdprlock/yt/about/de/. In the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google obtain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes when a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not wish such information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
9. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, for processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interests. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
10. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activity for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
11. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data are routinely erased, provided that they are no longer necessary for contract performance or contract initiation.
12. Legal or contractual requirements to provide personal data; necessity for concluding a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify, 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.
13. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
14. Liability for content
The content of our pages has been created with the greatest care. However, we cannot assume any liability for the accuracy, completeness, or up-to-dateness of the content. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7(1) TMG and general laws. However, pursuant to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific infringement. If we become aware of corresponding infringements, we will remove such content immediately.
15. Liability for links
Our offer contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time the link was created. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time the link was created. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. If we become aware of legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.
16. Use of local storage items, session storage items, and cookies
Our website uses local storage items, session storage items and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that enables data to be stored within the browser on your end device. This data usually includes user preferences, such as a website’s “day” or “night” mode, and remains stored until you delete it manually. Session storage is very similar to local storage, but the storage duration lasts only during the current session, i.e. until the current tab is closed. After that, the session storage items are deleted from your end device. Cookies are pieces of information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your end device in order to identify that end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) and deleted after your visit to a website ends, or stored permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.
These objects may also be stored on your end device by third-party companies when you access our site (third-party requests). This enables us as the operator and you as the visitor of this website to use certain services from third parties that are installed on this website. Examples include the processing of payment services or the display of videos.
These mechanisms have a wide variety of uses. They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping cart functions, increase the security and convenience of using the website, and carry out analyses regarding visitor flows and behavior. Depending on the individual functions, they must be classified under data protection law. If they are necessary for operating the website and for providing certain functions (shopping cart function) or serve to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitor behavior), they are used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies, local storage items, and session storage items for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. In all other cases, cookies, local storage items, and session storage items are stored only with your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Insofar as cookies, local or session storage are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this separately within the scope of this data protection notice. Your required consent will be requested and can be revoked at any time.
Your browser can be configured so that cookies are only created with your consent or are generally rejected. However, please note that if cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
You can control and, if necessary, prevent the use of “cookies” by configuring your browser as follows:
- Internet Explorer, see here ( https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/l%C3%B6schen-und-verwalten-von-cookies-168dab11-0753-043d-7c16-ede5947fc64d ) Tools – Internet Options – “Advanced” tab – under Security tick “Send Do Not Track requests to sites you visit in Internet Explorer” – confirm

For common third-party providers such as Google, Facebook, etc., the “Digital Advertising Alliance EU (EDAA)” offers an option to perform a collective opt-out of all DAA companies.
17. Use of external services
External services are used on our website. External services are services provided by third parties that are used on our website. This may occur for various reasons, for example for embedding videos or for website security. When using these services, personal data is also transferred to the respective providers of these external services. If we have no legitimate interest in using these services, we obtain your consent as a visitor of our website, which can be revoked at any time (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), before using them.
Consent management
To meet data protection requirements, we use a consent management tool on our website. With this tool, we obtain the necessary consent for the setting of cookies or the use of external services. The consents are stored.
The processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the controller (website operator) is subject. Therefore, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR is used as the legal basis for processing.

1. What is the jsdelivr.com CDN?
To deliver our individual web pages quickly and flawlessly on all different devices, we use the open-source services of jsdelivr.com provided by the Polish software company ProspectOne, Królewska 65A/1, 30-081, Kraków, Poland. This is a content delivery network (CDN). This is a network of regionally distributed servers connected via the internet. This makes it possible to deliver content, especially large files, quickly and optimally even during peak loads.
2. Why do we use the jsdelivr.com CDN?
Of course, we want to provide you with a comprehensive and well-functioning service with our website. This also includes a fast website. With the jsdelivr.com CDN, our website can load much faster for you. The use of the jsdelivr.com CDN is particularly helpful for users abroad, since the page can then be delivered from a server close to them.
3. What data is processed by the jsdelivr.com CDN?
jsDelivr is designed so that JavaScript libraries can be downloaded that are hosted on npm and GitHub servers. Joomla plugins may also be loaded, provided that they are hosted on joomla.de. To provide this service, your browser may transmit personal data to jsdelivr.com. jsDelivr may therefore collect and store user data such as IP address, browser type, browser version, which website is loaded, or the time and date of the page visit. The jsdelivr.com privacy policy expressly states that the company does not use cookies or other tracking services.
4. How long and where is the data stored?
jsDelivr has servers distributed in various countries and your data may also be stored outside the European Economic Area. jsDelivr retains personal data processed on our behalf for as long as necessary to provide the services offered, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements.
