Please note that transferring data over the internet (for example, when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the controller

The controller for data processing on this website is:

Cross Trade GmbH

Fax: +49 421 2468789 – 23
Email: info@cross-trade.eu

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses and similar).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many instances of data processing are possible only with your express consent. You can withdraw any consent already given at any time. You can do this simply by sending us an informal message by email. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

The right to object against data collection in special cases, as well as against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing occurs on the basis of point (e) or (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object against the processing of your personal data at any time, for reasons relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis for the processing in this Privacy Policy. If you submit an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling and legitimate grounds for processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Objection according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to submit an objection to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of this kind of marketing at any time; this also applies to profiling if this is linked with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Objection according to Art 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the case of violations against GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or at the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint shall not affect other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the data which we process automatically based on your consent or in the performance of a contract, or have them transmitted to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will be done only where technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect confidential contents such as orders or queries which you send to us as owners of the site, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, blocking, erasure and rectification

Under applicable legal provisions, you have the right, at any time and free of charge, to have access to your personal data and access to information about its source and recipients and the purposes of the data processing and, where appropriate, a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of these data. Regarding this and other questions concerning personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your data is restricted. For this, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. There is a right to the restriction of processing in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually require some time to check this. For the duration of these checks, you have the right to request that the processing of your data is restricted.
  • If the processing of your personal data was / is unlawful, you can request that the data processing is restricted instead of your data being erased.
  • If we no longer require your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted instead of your data being erased.
  • If you have submitted an objection according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, we must weigh up whether your interests or our interests take priority. While it has not yet been determined whose interests take priority, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data, with the exception of storage, may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
