Legal basis for the processing of personal data
For all contact enquiries by e-mail, telephone, etc., which do not serve the fulfilment of a contract or concern pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) of the General Data Protection Regulation serves as the legal basis. According to this, the processing of personal data is permitted if it serves to safeguard the legitimate interests of Smell Discettes GmbH, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, prevail. In this case, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities in favour of the well-being of employees and the owners of the company. The short-term storage of your IP address when you visit our website is also permitted on this legal basis.
Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation is the legal basis for the processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a contract, e.g. when purchasing our products or when implementing pre-contractual measures, e.g. if you are interested in our products.
In rare exceptional cases, the legal basis for the processing of personal data may also be Article 6(1)(d) of the General Data Protection Regulation if the processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another natural person.
Furthermore, we may be obliged to process personal data due to legal obligations, e.g. tax laws, clinical follow-up in accordance with the MDR. In this case, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) of the General Data Protection Regulation.
Otherwise, we only process personal data on the basis of the consent of the data subject, in which case the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Duration of data storage
We only store your IP address for the duration of your visit to our website and other personal data for the period required for the fulfilment of the contract, the implementation of pre-contractual measures or your request.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
You have the right to obtain from us the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary
- The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
- The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

- The personal data was processed unlawfully.
- The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

If we have made your personal data public and our company is obliged to erase your personal data as the controller pursuant to Article 17(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation, our company shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, unless the processing is necessary.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions is met:

We no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, you need the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
- You have objected to the processing and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of our company outweigh your legitimate reasons for the objection.
If the above conditions are met and you wish to request the restriction of personal data stored by us, you can contact us at any time. We will then arrange for the restriction of processing.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to our company, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where the processing is based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that 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 us.
In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. You can contact us at any time to assert your right to data portability.
Right of objection
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you. Such processing may take place because it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us or because the processing of personal data concerning you is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data 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. If we process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to us to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
You also have the right to object, on reasons relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which we carry out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
You can contact us directly to exercise your right to object. You are free to exercise your right to object in connection with the use of services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
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, unless the decision is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us, or 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 is based on your explicit consent.
If the decision is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between us or if it is made with your express consent, we will take appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests. This includes at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
You can contact us at any time regarding rights in relation to automated decisions.
Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Mandatory provision of personal data
We hereby inform you that the provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g. by tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for you to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed. For example, you are obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with you as a natural person. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with you could not be concluded. You can contact us before providing personal data. We will inform you 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 of not providing the personal data would be.
