5. Processing of Personal Data for advertising purposes

We use the data collected from you in the course of contract implementation also for the purpose of informing you from time to time about new offers and campaigns.

The following explanations refer to the Processing of Personal Data for advertising purposes. The DSGVO declares such data processing to be conceivable on the basis of Art.°6°para.°1°lit.°f) and to be a legitimate interest. The duration of data storage for advertising purposes is based on the question of whether the storage is necessary for advertising purposes. At KABENA GmbH, we also follow the principle of deleting data stored for advertising purposes within 1 year. Please refer to section 5.3 for information on how to proceed in the event of your objection.

5.1 Advertising purposes of KABENA GmbH and Third Parties

If you have concluded a contract with us, we will manage you as an existing customer. In this case, we process your postal contact data without the existence of a specific consent in order to send you information about new products and services. From time to time, we will transmit your postal contact data to contractual partners from the mail order and telecommunications sectors who have been selected by us with particular care, so that they too can inform you about their products. We process your e-mail address in order to send you information for our own, similar products without the existence of a specific consent.

5.2 Advertising in line with your interests

To ensure that you only receive advertising information that is supposedly of interest to you, we categorize and supplement your customer profile with additional information. Both statistical information and information about you personally (e.g. basic data of your customer profile) are used for this purpose. The aim is to provide you with advertising that is solely oriented towards your actual or supposed needs and not to bother you with useless advertising.

5.3 Right of objection

You can object to data processing for advertising purposes at any time free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel and with effect for the future. For this purpose, an e-mail or a postal letter to the contact data mentioned under 1. is sufficient.

If you file an objection, the contact address concerned will be blocked for further advertising data processing. We would like to point out that in exceptional cases, even after receipt of your objection, advertising material may still be sent temporarily. This is technically due to the necessary lead time of advertisements and does not mean that we will not implement your objection.

6. Objection/Opt-Out possibility

In addition to the deactivation methods described above, you can also generally prevent the targeting technologies described above by making the appropriate cookie settings in your browser. You also have the option of deactivating preference-based advertising using the preference manager which can be accessed here.

7. Recipients outside the EU

With the exception of the processing described under Section 4 above, we do not pass on your data to recipients based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. The processing described under Section 5 causes a data transfer to the servers of the companies we work with. These servers are located in the United States. The data transfer is carried out according to the principles of the so-called Privacy Shield and on the basis of so-called standard contract clauses of the EU Commission.

8. Your rights

8.1 Overview

In addition to the right to revoke your Consent, you are entitled to the following further rights if the respective legal requirements are met:

  • Right to information on your Personal Data stored with us (Art. 15 DSGVO); in particular, you can obtain information about the purposes of Processing, the category of Personal Data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the origin of your data, unless it was collected directly from you,

  • Right to delete your Personal Data stored with us (Art. 17 DSGVO) insofar as no legal or contractual retention periods or other legal obligations or rights to further storage must be observed,

  • Right to data transferability (Art. 20 DSGVO), i.e. the right to have selected data stored by us transferred in a common, machine-readable format, or to demand transfer to another Person Responsible

8.2 Right of objection

Under the conditions of Art.°21°para.°1°DSGVO, data processing may be objected to for reasons arising from the specific situation of the person concerned.

The general right of objection applies to all processing purposes described in this Data Protection Information which are processed on the basis of Art.°6°para.°1°lit.°f)°DSGVO. In contrast to the special right of objection aimed at data processing for advertising purposes (see 4.3.1 above), we are only obliged under the DSGVO to implement such a general right of objection if you give us reasons of overriding importance (e.g. a possible danger to life or health). In addition, there is the possibility to contact the Data Protection Officer in accordance with Sec. 1, or to file a complaint with the State Data Protection Authority. For Hamburg please refer to:

If you assert one or more of the above listed data subject rights against us, we will store this circumstance in anonymised form on the basis of Art.°6°para.°1°lit.°f)°DSGVO. The fact that we can also prove that we have duly complied with your request in cases of doubt is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of this provision. We will not delete this anonymous information, i.e. information that can no longer be associated with your person.
