Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). Südzucker only processes your personal data to enable us to provide you with the website. We will only collect personal data, such as your name and e-mail address, if you provide it to us voluntarily or if you have consented to its collection. For the technically required data, we refer to the execution under "Provision of the website and creation of log files / log files" and "Use of cookies".
We process personal data (hereinafter also referred to as "data") of data subjects, i.e. visitors to the website, via our website insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out after the user has consented to the processing. An exception applies in cases where the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations, required for the fulfilment of a contract or technically necessary.
(2) Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6(1)(d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The storage of information in the terminal equipment of a data subject or the access to information already stored in the terminal equipment shall only take place on the basis of the consent of the data subject pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG, unless the storage of information in the terminal equipment of the data subject or the access to information already stored in the terminal equipment by us is absolutely necessary (Section 25 (2) TTDSG) in order to provide the desired telemedia service to the data subject.
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. Blocking of further data processing or deletion of data also takes place when a legally prescribed storage period expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the fulfilment of a contract.

1. Description and scope of data processing
On our website - in particular here also within our upload form integrated on the website - we use a service of Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany (hereinafter "Friendly Captcha") to check and avoid interactions on our website by automated accesses.
Friendly Captcha is used to check whether the data entered on the website was entered by a human or by an automated program (hereinafter also "bot"). For this purpose, a puzzle request is loaded via a widget embedded on our website via a server of Friendly Captcha and displayed to you. Based on your interaction with the puzzle, the provider can identify whether it is a malicious user.
Friendly Captcha stores the following log data as part of the process:
(1) The request headers User-Agent, Origin and Referrer,
(2) The puzzle itself, which contains information about our Südzucker account and the website key of our website to which the puzzle relates,
(3) The version of the widget,
(4) A time stamp.
Friendly Captcha also stores an anonymised counter per IP address for evaluation. Friendly Captcha stores the anonymised counter separately from the rest of the information collected, so that no cross-site comparison can take place. For the display of the puzzle within the widget, the processing of your IP address is necessary. For this purpose, however, the provider uses a set-up anonymisation of the IP address by means of one-way hashing.
We have concluded the data protection agreement on commissioned processing (as defined in Article 28 DSGVO) with Friendly Captcha, in which Friendly Captcha undertakes to protect our users' data and to process it exclusively on our behalf.
For more information on data processing by Friendly Captcha, please visit https://friendlycaptcha.com. Friendly Captcha provides all information on data processing transparently for end users under the link.
2. purpose and legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the use of Friendly Captcha is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO in conjunction with. § 25 para. 2 (2) TTDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and our newsletter form and in the defence against unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar by bots and thus also serves the security of a visitor to our website.
3. possibility of objection and removal
The collection of the information is absolutely necessary for the provision of the functions of Friendly Captcha and for the purposes described. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
