Data protection is of particular importance to the employees of the publishing house, our publisher and the managing director. Personal data is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the country-specific data protection regulations that apply to us. We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed is protected as completely as possible. However, we cannot, of course, guarantee absolute protection.

Definitions

Our data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In order to ensure that the privacy policy is readable and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners, but at the same time complies with the legal requirements, we would like to explain some of the terms used in advance.

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. This includes, for example, information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address or IP address.

b) Data subject

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of 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 their future processing.

e) Profiling

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is 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 to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is 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.

Eckhart Holzboog, König-Karl-Straße 27, 70372 Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, Sybille Wittmann is the managing director authorized to represent the company. You can contact our data protection officer at the above address, at the email address datenschutz [at] frommann-holzboog.de or by calling +49 711-955 969-61.

What sources and data do we use?

We process personal data that we receive directly from you as an interested party, author, publisher, contributor, customer, reviewer, journalist, employee or editor of a journal, business partner or applicant. On the other hand, we process personal data that we have legitimately obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. university websites, press, media) and are permitted to process. We also collect personal data that we receive from a contractual partner, for example a bookshop, and that we require for business transactions (e.g. dispatch of an order). We also process non-personal data that is collected automatically.

Persons under the age of 16 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

The scope of the data stored by us depends to a large extent on the relationship you have with us and the form in which you have contacted us. For interested parties/potential customers, this is limited to title, name, address, customer number, area of interest and - if we have received express consent - the e-mail address. In the case of our customers, we also store the order and accounting history and, if applicable, the bank details; in the case of authors, contributors and publishers, the data that we require for project planning and realization and our obligations arising from the contractual relationships and for the promotion of the books.

Data collected during your visit

The frommann-holzboog Verlag website can generally be used without providing any personal data. However, the frommann-holzboog Verlag website 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 (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (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 used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using these general data and information, the frommann-holzboog Verlag 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 as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the frommann-holzboog Verlag analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution. The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller’s database.

Personal registration

You also have the option of registering on our website. Which personal data is transmitted in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use and for our own purposes. However, the data may be passed on to one or more processors who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller. By registering on the website, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offenses to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller.

Subscribe to our newsletter

You have the option of subscribing to our free Newsletter via the website. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you subscribe can be seen from the input mask or the order form. You can only receive the newsletter if (1) you have a valid e-mail address and (2) you register to receive the newsletter via our website or send us your order in writing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent using the double opt-in procedure when you place an order via the homepage. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter via the website, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later date and serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected when subscribing to the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration in this regard, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The newsletter is sent via the external service provider CleverReach (contract data processor). The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller’s website or to inform the controller of this in another way.

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we can recognize whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject. Personal data collected via tracking pixels is stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted as a revocation.

CleverReach and Google reCAPTCHA

Our data processor CleverReach uses »Google reCAPTCHA« (hereinafter »reCAPTCHA«) on this website for the registration to our newsletter. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (»Google«), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. In the reCAPTCHA image recognition test, you are shown 16 clickable images with a specific question such as: »In which images can you see a traffic light?«. If all images are marked correctly, you have passed the reCAPTCHA image recognition test.

This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor visits the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Web analysis with Matomo

We have integrated the Matomo component on the publisher’s website. Matomo is an open source software tool for web analysis Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The software is operated on the server of the controller and the log files, which are sensitive under data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server. The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, we use the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports that show the activities on our website.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the accessing computer. The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

Does the publisher use other cookies and how can they be managed?

The frommann-holzboog Verlag website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited 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. Through the use of cookies, we can provide more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user.

As already mentioned, cookies enable us 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 re-enter their access data 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 for a shopping basket in an online store. The online store 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 a corresponding 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.

What do we process your data for (purpose of processing) and on what legal basis?

The purpose for which we use and store your data also depends on the relationship you have with us. We use personal data to recruit and retain customers, authors and staff, to initiate and process business, for project planning and realization, to maintain operations, to comply with contractual and legal obligations, for advertising purposes and to inform the public, journalists and reviewers and specialist circles.

The underlying aim is to publish high-quality books, maintain the publishing house and generate profit.

We will neither sell your personal data to third parties nor market it in any other way.

Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. 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, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. 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 the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, 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).

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

Do you have to provide your data?

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that 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 personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject 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.

Who receives your data or has access to your data in addition to the publisher’s employees?

The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

Personal data is passed on to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We also use a lettershop and an address service provider for catalog dispatch, an external service provider for newsletter dispatch and a hosting provider for our website. The data required for the processing of payments and credit card and Sepa direct debits are passed on to the commissioned credit institutions. We also use accounting software and a publishing program from external providers. External service providers receive further access to personal data for the operation of the servers, our software development and other programming services as well as in the context of technical support, maintenance and care of our IT and our personnel and tax office.

Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Monotype GmbH (fonts.com or fast.fonts.net) to display fonts. The license agreement with this provider obliges us to include a link via which the provider is informed about the retrieval of the page, as it has a comprehensible interest in monitoring the properly licensed use of its fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the fonts.com servers. This gives fonts.com knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Fonts.com Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. Further information on these web fonts can be found at https://www.fonts.com/info/legal and in the privacy policy of Fonts.com: https://www.fonts.com/info/legal/privacy/ and in the privacy policy of Monotype GmbH: https://www.monotype.com/legal/privacy-policy/

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization.

If this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay or, alternatively, to obtain restriction of processing where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by frommann-holzboog Verlag, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of frommann-holzboog Verlag shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately. If the personal data have been made public by frommann-holzboog Verlag and our company, as the controller, is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, frommann-holzboog Verlag shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other persons responsible for data processing who process the published personal data, that the person concerned has requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data from these other persons responsible for data processing, insofar as the processing is not necessary.

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by frommann-holzboog Verlag, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of frommann-holzboog Verlag will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The frommann-holzboog Verlag 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 the frommann-holzboog Verlag processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Each data subject shall have 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 him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, if 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 the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the frommann-holzboog Verlag 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 his or her point of view and contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

j) Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG)

Every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in the event of non-compliance with the promised data processing.

How does the publisher handle application documents under data protection law?

We collect personal data from applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us the relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller.
