What is personal data?
The term personal data is defined in the Federal Data Protection Act and the GDPR. Accordingly, this is individual information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your civil name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth.
Scope of anonymous data collection and data processing
Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data are collected, processed or used when visiting our websites.
However, we do learn certain technical information through the use of analysis and tracking tools based on the data transmitted by your browser (for example, browser type/version, operating system used, websites visited on our site incl. duration of stay, previously visited website). We evaluate this information for statistical purposes only.
Relevant 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) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
- When processing personal data that are necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR 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 (1) (c) GDPR 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, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Use of cookies
The website of Treppenmeister GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are data that are stored by the internet browser on the user's computer system. The cookies can be transmitted to a page when it is called up and thus enable the user to be identified. Cookies help to simplify the use of Internet pages for users.

Please note that if cookies are deactivated, it may not be possible to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data are not stored together with other personal data of the user. When calling up our website, users are informed by an information banner about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and are referred to this data protection declaration. In this context, there is also an indication of how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if the user has consented to this. Please refer to our cookie banner and our notes in this data protection declaration for information regarding if and to what extent cookies are used on our website.
Creation of log files
Every time the website is accessed, Treppenmeister GmbH collects data and information by means of an automated system. This information is stored in the log files of the server. The data are also stored in the log files of our system. However, these data are not stored together with other personal data of the user. The following data may be collected, i.e. information about:
- the browser type and version used
- the operating system of the user
- the Internet service provider of the user
- the IP address of the user
- date and time of access
- websites from which the user's system accesses our website (referrer)
- websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website
Duration of the storage of personal data
Personal data are stored for the duration of the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the data are routinely deleted unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfilment of a contract.
Options for contacting & passing on data
The website https://www.treppenmeister.com... contains a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. Alternatively, it is possible to contact the data subject via the e‑mail address provided. If the data subject contacts the controller via one of these channels, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. The storage is solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if the user has given his or her consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation has ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
We only transfer your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by law or you have consented. In this context, your data will be forwarded to the partners from the Treppenmeister partner community (franchisees) responsible for your enquiry, to transport companies or to other third parties, e.g. service companies used to provide the service or to process the contract. With regard to the forwarding of data to our franchisees, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate overriding interest is expressed in the fact that enquiries, in particular for offers, must be prepared individually by the regional franchisees in order to also be able to take local circumstances and individual requirements into account.
Online Shop
With regard to the online shop, Treppenmeister GmbH refers to its operator and sole person responsible under data protection law, Mr. Dirk Wintermann, Hauptstraße 78, 26197 Großkneten, info@treppenpflege.com and its own data protection declaration https://www.treppenmeister.com... on the website of the online shop. Treppenmeister GmbH has no access to the personal data collected and processed in the stair care shop.
Sending brochures and postcards
If brochures of our company are requested, e.g. on the website of a supplier for catalogues or on our website, the data in the respective input mask are transmitted to the controller.
The legal basis for the processing of data after requesting a brochure is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When you request the brochure, your IP address and the date and time of registration are stored in addition to the personal data provided in the respective form.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time.
Treppenmeister GmbH also sends postcards to customers and interested parties who have requested brochures/information material from Treppenmeister GmbH or from catalogue providers on the internet in the past to enquire whether there is interest in further information material, such as the staircase book. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate overriding interest lies in maintaining contact with customers and interested parties and in the intention to send further information material on products and services of Treppenmeister GmbH to interested parties and customers who have already requested information material of this kind and have shown interest in products and services of Treppenmeister GmbH. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The data for this processing will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Furthermore, no postcards will be sent to you if you object to the sending of postcards in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR or request deletion of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR.
We only transfer your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by law or you have consented. Your requests for brochures/information material will be forwarded to our franchisees. Treppenmeister is a franchise company and Treppenmeister GmbH is the franchisor and the head office of approx. 100 franchisees in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. With regard to the transfer of personal data to Switzerland (franchisees of Treppenmeister GmbH), the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Switzerland within the meaning of Art. 45 GDPR.
If you have made an enquiry with Treppenmeister GmbH or on the website of a supplier for catalogues for a staircase brochure and have thus left your data with us, these will be forwarded to the regionally responsible Treppenmeister partner (franchisee). The responsible Treppenmeister partner is a joinery/carpentry business that is responsible for the manufacture of the products offered. In addition, this partner has at least one staircase studio for viewing original staircases.
Recipients of your personal data may primarily be service providers of ours, e.g. shipping service providers for the dispatch of brochures and information material.
We only keep your personal data for as long as this is necessary. As soon as you have revoked your consent for the mailing of brochures/information material, we will delete your personal data. Furthermore, in the event of a possible revocation of your consent, the future mailing of postcards will similarly cease so that your data will also no longer be used for the mailing of postcards.
Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for as long as this is necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage. In addition, storage may take place insofar as this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. As soon as the storage purpose ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted.
Rights of the data subject
If your personal data are processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR

Right to deletion according to Art. 17 GDPR

- The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

- The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:
- to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
- for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;

- for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR
You can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

b. if the processing is unlawful and you refuse the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
c. if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
d. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may be processed, with the exception of storage, only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been limited in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
Right to information according to Art. 19 GDPR
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right against the controller to be informed about these recipients.
Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR
You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, provided that

b. the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures. In exercising this right, you are also entitled to have your personal data transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller under Union or Member State legislation,
b. is authorized by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or
c. is granted with your express consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (a) and (c) above, the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

Integration of other third-party services and content
Description and purpose It may happen that third-party content, such as videos, fonts or graphics from other websites, is integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") are aware of the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers merely use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we inform the users about it. We would like to provide and improve our online offer through these integrations.
Legal basis In all other cases, our legitimate interest in an appropriate presentation of our online presence and in user-friendly and economically efficient services on our part is the corresponding legal basis (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). For further information, please refer to the respective data protection information of the providers.
Contractual or legal obligation for the provision of personal data
The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and is also not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide the data may result in you not being able to use this function or not being able to use it to its full extent.
Cooperation with external service providers
We engage other companies and individuals to perform tasks for us. Examples include, but are not limited to, delivering parcels, sending letters or emails, analysing our databases, IT services, advertising, processing payments and customer service. These service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their tasks. However, they are not allowed to use this information for other purposes.
Data transfer to third countries
The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. In principle, the controller may provide various appropriate safeguards to ensure that an adequate level of protection is achieved for the processing operations. It is possible to carry out data transfers on the basis of an adequacy decision, internal data protection rules, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 (2) (a)-(f) GDPR.
If the controller makes a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR, you will be informed at this point about the possible risks of a data transfer to a third country.
There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not provide an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the respective third country or if certain agreements between the European Union and the respective third country are declared invalid. Specifically, in some third countries there are risks regarding the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of surveillance laws (for example in the USA). In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of the data subjects in the third country enjoy an equivalent level of protection as in the Union and can also be effectively enforced.
However, the General Data Protection Regulation should not undermine the level of protection of individuals ensured throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organizations, including when personal data are further transferred from a third country or from an international organization to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organization.

No adequacy decision exists for the US and no other appropriate safeguards are in place.

Applications (training & job offers)
By submitting their application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application procedure in accordance with the type and scope set out in this data protection declaration. Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily disclosed within the scope of the application procedure, their processing shall additionally be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession). Applicants can send us their applications via e-mail. However, please note that e-mails are generally not encrypted, and applicants must ensure encryption themselves. We therefore cannot assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the reception on our server and therefore recommend using postal dispatch. Instead of applying by e-mail, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post. In the event of a successful application, the data provided by applicants may be processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a vacancy is unsuccessful, the applicants' data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. Subject to a justified withdrawal by the applicants, the deletion will take place after the expiry of a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses will be archived in accordance with tax law requirements.
