Responsible for data processing: Christian Grömmer, B.Eng. Electrical Engineering and state-certified electrical technician (owner).
This privacy policy is addressed to businesses and commercial clients. We process only the data required for the performance of contracts and the secure IT operation of our website.
Below you will find the complete, legally compliant privacy policy in accordance with the GDPR:
1) Introduction and contact details of the controller
We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. Below we inform you about how we handle your personal data when you use our website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Christian Grömmer
Westendstr. 281
80686 München
Deutschland

E-Mail: info@ampguard-zentinel.de
The controller for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
2) Data collection when visiting our website (hosting)
When you use our website purely for informational purposes, i.e. when you do not actively transmit information to us (for example via a contact form), we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our web server (so-called "server log files").
Web hosting via ALL-INKL:
Our website is hosted on the servers of the German provider ALL-INKL.COM - Neue Medien Münnich (Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf). A data processing agreement (DPA) compliant with Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with ALL-INKL to ensure the protection of your data at European server level.
When you access our website, the server automatically collects the following data, which is technically necessary to ensure the stability and security of the display:
- The address of our website visited
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you accessed the page (referrer)
- Browser type and operating system used
- IP address used (in anonymised, shortened form by the hosting provider)
Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring IT security, defending against attacks, and technically improving the stability and functionality of our website. This server data is not passed on to any other third parties.
3) Contacting us
When you contact us (e.g. via the contact form or by email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected when using our contact form is directly apparent from the input fields of the contact form (such as name, email address and your message text).
This data is processed and stored exclusively for the purpose of dealing with your enquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your enquiry is aimed at concluding or preparing a commercial contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted once your enquiry has been fully dealt with. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified, provided that no statutory or tax-related retention obligations prevent deletion.
4) Rights of the data subject
Applicable data protection law grants you extensive rights (rights of access and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data:
- Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR: You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we process concerning you.
- Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR: You have the right to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected without undue delay.
- Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: You may request the deletion of your data, provided no statutory retention periods stand in the way.
- Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: You may request the restriction of processing, for example while the accuracy of your data is being verified.
- Right to notification pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR: Right to be informed of any rectification or erasure of data communicated to all recipients.
- Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR: Right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- Right to withdraw consent given pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR: You may withdraw consent to data processing that you have given at any time, with effect for the future.
- Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of your data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g. the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision).
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF, WITHIN THE SCOPE OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER, IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
5) Duration of storage of personal data
The duration for which personal data is stored is determined by the applicable legal basis, the specific purpose of processing and, where relevant, the applicable statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods under the German Commercial Code (HGB) or Fiscal Code (AO)).
Where statutory retention periods apply to business and contract data processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data is routinely deleted once the tax-related retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer required for the active performance of the contract or we no longer have a legitimate interest in its continued storage.
Additional note: Link to Google Maps
We do not embed interactive Google Maps maps directly in the background on our contact page, in order to prevent an automated, unrequested transfer of data to the servers of the provider Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
Instead, we merely provide a plain, privacy-compliant text and image button linking to our location on Google Maps. You will only be redirected to the Google Maps platform once you actively click on this link or button.
From the moment of redirection, Google is responsible for data processing (including the collection of your IP address, location data and the possible setting of cookies). For further information on data processing by Google, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
