02 — Website Access

Hosting and Server Log Data

When you access this website, the web server or hosting provider processes technically necessary access data. This may include in particular:

  • the IP address of the accessing device,
  • date and time of access,
  • the page or file requested,
  • the amount of data transferred and access status,
  • the referrer URL, if transmitted by the browser,
  • browser type, operating system and device information.

This processing is necessary to deliver the website, maintain its stability and identify misuse or attacks. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure, stable and error-free operation of our website.

03 — Communication

Contact by Email or Telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the information you provide and the content of your enquiry in order to handle and respond to it.

If your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. General business enquiries are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to process and document communications addressed to us.

This website does not contain a contact form. Email and telephone links only open the corresponding application on your device.

04 — Technology

Cookies, Analytics and External Content

This website does not itself use analytics or marketing services, social media plugins or embedded content from external providers. The website code does not set cookies.

If the hosting or security infrastructure uses technically necessary cookies, these serve solely to provide and protect the website. Where this involves access to your device, the legal basis is Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG; subsequent processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The current version of this website therefore does not provide a consent banner for analytics or advertising cookies.
05 — Retention

Storage Periods

Technical log data is deleted or anonymised as soon as it is no longer required for secure website delivery and error analysis. It is stored for longer only where a specific security incident must be investigated or statutory requirements apply.

Data relating to enquiries is deleted once the enquiry has been completed, unless contractual or statutory retention obligations require continued storage.

06 — Data Subject Rights

Your Rights

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have in particular the following rights:

  • access to personal data processed about you,
  • rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data,
  • erasure or restriction of processing,
  • data portability where the legal requirements are met,
  • objection to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise your rights, simply contact us at info@hmigmbh.com.

Right to Object

You may object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We will then cease processing the data concerned unless compelling legitimate grounds or legal claims require otherwise.

07 — Supervisory Authority

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes data protection law, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. For companies based in North Rhine-Westphalia, the relevant authority is in particular:

Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-WestfalenPostfach 20 04 4440102 Düsseldorf, GermanyPhone: +49 211 38424-0Email: poststelle@ldi.nrw.dewww.ldi.nrw.de
08 — Security

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, manipulation and unauthorised access. When an encrypted HTTPS connection is used, content transmitted between your browser and the web server is protected in transit.
