Wireless LANs (Wi-Fi) can be used to set up wireless local networks or to extend existing wired networks. To date, almost all WLAN components available on the market are based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and its supplements. The "Wi-Fi Alliance" consortium of manufacturers plays a special role here, having created an industry standard with "Wi-Fi" based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. The Wi-Fi Alliance confirms with the Wi-Fi label that a device has passed certain interoperability and conformity tests.

Because they are usually easy and quick to install, Wi-Fis are also used to set up temporary networks. In addition, network access can be offered in public places, such as airports or railway stations, via so-called hotspots. This enables mobile users to connect to the internet or to the network of the. Communication then generally takes place between a central access point and the Wi-Fi component of the terminal.

This security guideline systematically shows how Wi-Fi networks can be securely set up and operated. For the creation of the security guideline, the specifications of the BSI module NET.2.1 "Wi-Fi operation" from the Compendium 2020 were used.

In accordance with the legal requirements of data protection law (in particular the BDSG as amended and the European Data Protection Regulation 'DS-GVO'), we inform you below about the nature, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data by our company. This privacy policy also applies to our websites and social media profiles. With regard to the definition of terms such as "personal data" or "processing", we refer to Art. 4 DS-GVO.

Name and contact details of the person(s) responsible

Our responsible person(s) (hereinafter "responsible person") within the meaning of Art. 4 fig. 7 DS-GVO is:
Jens Mahnke
Karl-Kunger-Str. 56

Types of data, purposes of processing and categories of data subjects

Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data. 

1. types of data we process
Usage data (access times, websites visited, etc.), communication data (IP address, etc.),

2. purposes of the processing according to Art. 13 para. 1 c) DS-GVO 
Technical and economic optimisation of the website, optimisation and statistical evaluation of our services, improving user experience, compilation of statistics,

3. categories of data subjects according to Art. 13 (1) (e) DS-GVO
Visitors/users of the website,

The data subjects are collectively referred to as "users".

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Below we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data. 1. if we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO is the legal basis. 2. if processing is necessary to comply with a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures in response to your request, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GVO is the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c) DS-GVO is the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d) DS-GVO. If the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms are not overridden in this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO is the legal basis.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties and order processors

As a matter of principle, we do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. However, if this should be the case, then the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal grounds, e.g. when data is passed on to online payment providers for the fulfilment of a contract or due to a court order or because of a legal obligation to hand over the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights. We also use processors (external service providers e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of a contract processing agreement, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO. In doing so, we select our processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted a right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors have to have taken suitable technical and organisational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to the BDSG n.F. and the DS-GVO.

Data transfer to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore predominantly processed by companies to which the GDPR applies. However, if processing is carried out by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these have to fulfil the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DS-GVO must be complied with. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or the observance of officially recognised special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". Insofar as we obtain your express consent to the transfer of data to the USA due to the invalidity of the so-called "Privacy Shield" in accordance with Article 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO, we point out in this regard the risk of secret access by US authorities and the use of the data for monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy for EU citizens.

Deletion of data and storage period

Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as you revoke the consent given for processing or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies or the data are no longer required for the purpose, unless their continued storage is necessary for evidence purposes or is contrary to statutory retention obligations. This includes, for example, retention obligations under commercial law for business letters in accordance with § 257 para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (6 years) and retention obligations under tax law for receipts in accordance with § 147 para. 1 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted unless the storage is still necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Existence of automated decision making

We do not use automated decision making or profiling.

Provision of our website and creation of log files

1. If you use our website for information purposes only (i.e. no registration and no other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data:

  • IP address;
  • Internet service provider of the user; 
  • Date and current time of the request;

  • language and browser version;
  • Content of the retrieval;
  • Time zone;
  • Access status/HTTP status code;
  • Amount of data;
  • Websites from which the request came;
  • Operating system.

This data is not stored together with other personal data about you.

2. This data serves the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and content as well as its optimisation and statistical evaluation.

3. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which also lies in the above purposes.

4. For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a storage period of 70 days. After this period, they are automatically erased, unless we need to keep them for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.

Contacting us via contact form / email / fax / post

1. When contacting us via contact form, fax, mail or email form, your data will be processed for the purpose of handling the contact request.

2. If you have given your consent, the legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of a contact request or email form, letter or fax is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. The responsible party has a legitimate interest in processing and storing the data in order to be able to answer users' enquiries, to preserve evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, to be able to comply with its statutory retention obligations for business letters. If the objective of the contact is the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GVO.

3. We may store your details and contact request in our Customer Relationship Management System ("CRM System") or similar system.

4. The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the compliance with a contract with you, which is shown by us in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the merits of the case and either cease or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

  • the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
  • if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DS-GVO and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

6. Right to data portability You have a right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 DS-GVO, which means that you can receive the personal data we hold about you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or request that it be transferred to another controller.
