Data protection

The Allgemeine Debitoren- und Inkassodienst GmbH is a member of the “Gesellschaft für Datenschutz und Datensicherheit e.V.” (GDD). The goals of this society are also ours. There are good reasons for that:

• Data protection protects privacy. The protection of your personality is your fundamental right.
• § Modern information technology needs a special commitment to data protection. If there is no trust, the users are missing.
• § E-commerce is an economic strategy of the future. Data protection and data security prepare the way.
• § Privacy is a quality and competitive factor. Safety is best.
• Global trade is based on safety and reliability. Privacy is part of the foundation of the global economy.

Data transmission (for example e-mails) can have security holes and can not be completely protected against access by third parties.

The use of the provider identification – in particular the telephone / fax number and e-mail address – for commercial advertising is not to be expected since the provider does not apply this provider agreement. The provider and all persons named on this website disagree to any commercial use and forwarding of their data.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We clarify that the provision of personal information is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor). Occasionally it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that an affected person provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal information when our company enters into a contract with her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be closed. Our legal department will inform the individual on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required to conclude the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of not providing the personal data.

Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling
