DATENSCHUTZERKLÄRUNG

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.

 

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "PROTEC GmbH". By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

 

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or mail.

4. Definitions

The privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

 

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

 

4.1. Personal Data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

 

4.2 Data Subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

 

4.3 Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

 

4.4 Restriction of Processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

 

4.5 Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

 

4.6 Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

 

4.7 Processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

 

4.8 Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

 

4.9 Third Party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

 

4.10 Consent

Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services.

 

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

 

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.

 

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a client of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Technology

6.1 SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login details, or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

6.2 Data Collection When Visiting the Website

When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected:

  1. browser types and versions used,
  2. operating system used by the accessing system,
  3. website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
  4. sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  5. date and time of access to the website,
  6. an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
  7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

 

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is needed to:

  1. deliver the contents of our website correctly,
  2. optimize the content of our website and its advertising,
  3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
  4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

 

Therefore, we analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our company, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

 

7. Cookies

7.1 General Information About Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site.

Cookies store information that arises in connection with the specific device being used. However, this does not mean that we immediately become aware of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it automatically recognizes that you have already been with us and what inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognize when you return to our site that you have already been with us. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period.

 

7.2 Legal Basis for the Use of Cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

For all other types of cookies, we require your consent, which you can give or revoke at any time via our cookie settings.

 

8. Contents of our Website

8.1 Contact / Contact Form

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected through the contact form can be seen in the respective form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, this is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

8.2 Application Management / Job Board

We collect and process personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits application documents electronically, for example via email or through a web form on the website. If we enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If we do not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part conflict with deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense would be, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26(1) BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act).
