2. General notes and information on obligations

Data protection

The operators of these Internet pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data 

confidentially and in accordance with the statutory regulations on data protection and with this data protection declaration. 

Various personal data is collected when you use this website. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. 

This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how we do this and what 

purpose it serves. Please note that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. during communication by e-mail) may have security 

loopholes. Perfect protection of data from access by third parties is impossible. 

Notice of the responsible authority

The responsible authority for the data processing on this website is:

TACON GmbH

Tank und Container Services

Braaker Grund 7

22145 Braak

Telefon: +49 40 751 691

E-Mail: info@tacontank.de

The responsible authority is the natural or legal person that decides alone or together with others on the purposes and 

processing means for personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).

Withdrawal of your consent on data processing

Many data processing procedures are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have given 

at any time. Informal communication by e-mail is sufficient. The legality of the data processing that was carried out before the 

withdrawal is not affected by the withdrawal.

Right to object against the data collection in particular cases and against direct marketing (article 21 GDPR)

If the data processing takes place on the basis of article 6(1) e or f then you are entitled to object to the processing of your 

personal data for reasons resulting from your particular situation; this is also valid for profiling based on these provisions. 

The relevant legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object then we 

will no longer process your relevant personal data except if we can demonstrate compelling, legitimate grounds for the 

processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence 

of legal claims (objection in accordance with article 21(1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for the purposes of direct 

marketing then you are entitled at any time to object against the processing of personal data relating to you for the purposes of 

direct marketing; this is also valid for profiling insofar as it is connected with this kind of direct marketing. If you object then your 

personal data will no longer be used for the purposes of direct marketing (objection in accordance with article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority

In the event of violation against GDPR the data subject is entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly 

in the member state of his or her habitual abode, place of work or at the location of the suspected violation. The right to lodge a 

complaint is valid notwithstanding other judicial remedies in administrative law or the courts.

Right of data portability

You are entitled to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the fulfilment of a contract sent 

to you or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you demand the direct transmission of the data to another 

responsible party then this will be carried out insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content such 

as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection because the address 

line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol on your browser line. If the SSL/TLS encryption is 

activated then third parties cannot read data that you transfer to us.

Information, blocking, deletion and correction

You are entitled at all times to receive information on your saved personal data, its source and recipient and the purpose of the 

data processing at no cost and also to the correction, blocking or deletion of this data in some situations. You contact us at any 

time at the address in the legal notice regarding this or other questions on the topic of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You are entitled to demand restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us in this regard at any time at 

the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of the processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data that we have stored for you then we usually need time to check this. You are 

entitled to demand restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of checking.

If the processing of your personal data took/is taking place unlawfully then you can demand the restriction of the data processing 

in place of deletion.

If we no longer require your personal data but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims then you are entitled to 

demand the restriction of the data processing in place of deletion.

If you have filed an objection in accordance with article 21(1) GDPR then a balance must be found between our interests and 

yours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail you are entitled to demand the restriction of the processing 

of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data then this data may only be processed – apart from storage – with 

your authorisation or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons or for 

reasons of the substantial public interest of the European Union or a member state. 

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to 

make our product more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and 

saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies that we use are so-called ‘session cookies’. They are deleted automatically after your visit. Other cookies 

remain stored on your terminal until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser on the occasion of your 

next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and allow them only in individual cases, rule out the 

acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. 

If cookies are deactivated this may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary in order to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you 

request (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of article 6(1) f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate 

interest in the storage of cookies for the technically perfect and optimised provision of its services. 

Where other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are saved they are dealt with separately in this 

data protection declaration. 

Server logfiles

The site provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server logfiles, which your browser transmits to us 

automatically. The information is as follows: 

- Browser type and browser version

- Operating system used

- Referrer URL

- Host name of the computer accessing the site

- Time of the server request

- IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of article 6(1) f GDPR. The website operator 

has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically perfect and optimised provision of its services, for which the 

server logfiles must be recorded.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries using the contact form then we will store your information from the enquiry form and the contact data 

you have entered there in order to process the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on 

without your authorisation. The processing of the data that is entered in the contact form takes place exclusively based on your 

consent (article 6 (1) a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time and an informal communication to us by e-mail is 

sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing procedures that have been carried out up to the withdrawal is not 

affected by the withdrawal. We keep the data that you entered in the contact form until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your 

consent for storage or the reason for the data storage becomes void (e.g. when the processing of your enquiry has been 

completed). Mandatory statutory directives – particularly storage periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiry by e-mail, phone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax your enquiry will be stored and process by us, including all the personal data it contains 

(name, enquiry) for the purpose of dealing with your request. We do not pass this data on without your authorisation. This data 

is processed on the basis of article 6(1) b GDPR if your request is connected with the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for 

the execution of preliminary measures for a contract. In all other cases the processing is based on your consent (article 6(1) a 

GDPR) and / or on our legitimate interest (article 6(1) f GDPR), because we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing 

of enquiries that are directed to us. The data that is sent to us on the contact forms remain with us until you request us to delete 

it, withdraw your consent for the storage or the purpose of the data storage becomes void (e.g. when the processing of your 

request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly legal storage periods – remain unaffected.

Disclaimer of liability

Liability for content

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages according to § 7 Para. 1 German Telemedia Act

(TMG) pursuant to the general laws. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, however, we as service providers are not obliged to

monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances which indicate an illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this respect,

however, is only possible from the time of knowledge of a concrete infringement. If we become aware of any such

infringements, we will immediately remove such content.

Liability for links

Our offer contains links to external third party websites where we have no influence on the content. Therefore, we cannot

assume any liability for these third-party contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible

for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking and

illegal contents were not recognisable at the time of linking. However, a permanent control of the linked pages‘ content is not

reasonable without concrete indications of an infringement. If we become aware of legal violations, we will immediately

remove such links.
