How do we collect your data?
Some data is collected when you provide it to us. This may include information entered into a contact form.

3. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data-protection requirements and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains which data we collect, how and for what purpose we use it. Please note that data transmission on the internet, for example communication by email, may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the controller
The controller for data processing on this website is:
ABCon UG (limited liability)
Meliesallee 15, 40597 Düsseldorf, Germany
Telephone: +49 152 38 416 704
Email: info@abc-on.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, for example names or email addresses.
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a justified request for erasure or withdraw consent to processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storage, such as retention periods under tax or commercial law. In that case, deletion takes place after those grounds no longer apply.
Legal bases for processing on this website
If you have consented to processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where special categories of personal data are processed, Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. Where you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to cookies being stored or information being accessed on your device, for example through device fingerprinting, processing is also based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Where your data is required for performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, or where it is necessary for our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable legal basis in each individual case is explained in this policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, personal data must be transferred to those parties. We disclose personal data only where this is necessary for performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so, for example disclosure to tax authorities, where we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits disclosure. When using processors, we disclose customer data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint-controller agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of consent to data processing
Many processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to object in particular cases and to direct marketing under Article 21 GDPR
Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data, including profiling based on those provisions. The legal basis for each processing operation can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process the relevant personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing for such marketing, including related profiling. Following an objection, the data will no longer be used for direct-marketing purposes.
Right to lodge a complaint, data portability, access, rectification and erasure
In the event of GDPR infringements, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. You also have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used machine-readable format, for yourself or a third party. Direct transfer to another controller takes place only where technically feasible. You may obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and purpose, and may request rectification or erasure at any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You may request restriction of the processing of your personal data. This applies where you contest the accuracy of stored data while we verify it; where processing is unlawful and you request restriction instead of erasure; where we no longer need the data but you need it for legal claims; or where you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR while a balance of interests has not yet been determined. When processing has been restricted, the data may, apart from storage, be processed only with your consent, for legal claims, to protect another person’s rights, or for important public-interest reasons of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries sent to us, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a lock symbol appears in the browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising emails
We object to the use of contact details published as part of the legal-notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

Cookies may originate from us, first-party cookies, or from third parties, third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable certain third-party services to be integrated into websites, for example cookies used to process payment services. Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as a shopping-basket function or video display.

Cookies required to carry out electronic communications, provide certain functions requested by you, or optimise the website, for example audience measurement, are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent for cookies or similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is exclusively based on that consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, and may be withdrawn at any time. You can configure your browser to be informed about cookies, permit cookies only in individual cases, exclude cookies generally or for particular cases, and activate automatic deletion when the browser closes. Disabling cookies may restrict website functionality. Where further cookies or services are used, this privacy policy will provide the relevant information.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries through the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including contact details, is stored by us for the purpose of handling the enquiry and follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry is connected with performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. Data entered in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw consent to storage, or the purpose for storage no longer applies, for example after completion of your enquiry. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
Enquiries by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as name and request, is stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry relates to performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. Data sent to us in contact enquiries remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw consent to storage, or the purpose for storage no longer applies, for example after completion of your enquiry. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
