Privacy policy and legal comments

Privacy Policy

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

    b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
    c)    Processing

    f)     Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
    g)    Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

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; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
    j)      Third party
Third party is 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 authorised to process personal data.

3. Name and Address of the Data Protection Officer

The Data Protection Officer of the controller is: datenschutz(at)stuermer-maschinen.de
Any data subject may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer directly with all questions and suggestions concerning data protection.

3.1 Disclosure to third parties

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of the statutory provisions or with the corresponding consent. Otherwise, data will not be disclosed to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).

3.2 Recipients of the data / categories of recipients

Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it to fulfill contractual and legal obligations.
In certain cases, service providers support our specialist departments in fulfilling their tasks. The necessary contractual framework under data protection law has been concluded with all service providers.

3.3 Third-country transfer / intention to transfer data to third countries

Data is only transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, is required by law or you have given us your consent.
We do not transfer your personal data to any service provider outside the European Economic Area.

3.4 Secure transmission of your data

In order to protect the data stored by us in the best possible way against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.
The exchange of data to and from our website is always encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, in each case using the current encryption protocols.

4. Cookies
The Internet pages of the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) or, if consent has been given, Art. 6 (1) (a) EU-DS-GVO.
The following tracking tools are used:

  • Google Tag Manager
  • Google AJAX
  • Userlike
  • Wiredminds
  • Google Analytics

5. Collection of general data and information
The website of the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, 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.

6. Registration on our website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS-GVO)
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing the following personal data:

  • Name, first name
  • Telephone number
  • Contact person

Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.

6.1 Chat option on the website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-DS-GVO)

On our website there is the possibility to contact us via a chat form.
In the context of this, we process your name and e-mail address. Here, the principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed, in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need for an exchange of conversation with you. In addition, your IP address is processed out of technical necessity and for legal protection.
In order to protect the security and confidentiality of your data as best as possible, we implement appropriate security measures. Your request is transmitted to us in encrypted form.

7. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The Stürmer Maschinen GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

8. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Stürmer Maschinen GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

9. Contact possibility via the website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b EU-DS)
The website of the Stürmer Maschinen GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the following personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored:

  • Name, first name
  • Address
  • E-mail address
  • If applicable, company and telephone number

Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

However, you use these platforms and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

We would also like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union. The necessary contract under data protection law will be concluded.

Purpose and legal basis

We ourselves maintain the fan pages in order to communicate with visitors to these pages and to inform them about our offers in this way.

In addition, we collect data for statistical purposes in order to be able to further develop and optimize the content and to make our offer more attractive. The data required for this purpose (e.g. total number of page views, page activity and data provided by visitors, interactions) are processed by the social networks and made available to us. We have no influence on the generation and presentation.

In addition, your personal data will be processed by the providers of the social media, but also by Stürmer Maschinen GmbH for market research and advertising purposes. It is possible, for example, that usage profiles are created based on your usage behavior and the resulting interests. This allows, among other things, advertisements to be placed within and outside the platforms that correspond to your interests. Cookies are usually stored on your computer for this purpose. Independently of this, data that is not collected directly on your end devices may also be stored in your usage profiles. The storage and analysis also takes place across devices; this applies in particular, but not exclusively, if you are registered as a member and logged in to the respective platforms.

The processing of your personal data by Stürmer Maschinen GmbH is based on our legitimate interests in effective information and communication pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. EU-DS-GVO.

If you are asked for consent to data processing, i.e. if you declare your consent by confirming a button or similar (opt-in), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a., Art. 7 EU-DS-GVO.

Your rights / possibility to object

If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our presence and link it to your stored membership data with the respective network, you must     log out of the respective network before visiting our fan page,    delete the cookies stored on your device and close and restart your browser.

After logging in again, however, you will again be recognizable to the network as a specific user.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the opt-out options, please refer to the information linked below:

Overall, you have the following rights regarding the processing of your personal data:

Right to information; Right to rectification; Right to erasure; Right to restriction of processing; Right to object; Right to data portability; Right to complain about unlawful processing of your personal data to the competent data protection authority.

However, since Stürmer Maschinen GmbH does not have complete access to your personal data, you should contact the providers of the social media directly when asserting your rights, as they each have access to the personal data of their users and can take appropriate measures and provide information.

If you still need help, we will of course try to support you. Please contact us at Info@stuermer-maschinen.de.

Notes on copyright and art copyright

If you want to publish pictures, texts, plans, videos, music, etc. on our website, you should know that you may thereby assign all rights of use to the network, which could ultimately have legal consequences for you if you are not the author or rights holder yourself.

14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function) according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-DS-GVO
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link www.google.com/analytics/.

15. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google-AdWords
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google‘s search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES. The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties. The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

16. Privacy Policy for the use of Userlike
The controller has integrated components from Userlike on this website. Userlike is an internet chat feature that allows direct communication between our website visitors and a competent employee.

17. Privacy Policy for the use of Hotjar
This website uses the Hotjar web analytics service provided by Hotjar Ltd. Hotjar Ltd. is a European company based in Malta (Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe Tel: +1 (855) 464-6788).
This tool can be used to track movements on the websites on which Hotjar is used (so-called heat maps). For example, it is possible to see how far users scroll and how often they click on which buttons. Furthermore, it is also possible with the help of the tool to obtain feedback directly from the users of the website. In this way, we obtain valuable information to make our websites even faster and more customer-friendly. The above analysis is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests for optimization and marketing purposes and the interest-based design of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.We pay particular attention to the protection of your personal data when using this tool. For example, we can only track which buttons you click and how far you scroll. Areas of the websites in which personal data of you or third parties are displayed are automatically hidden by Hotjar, and are therefore not traceable at any time.

Hotjar offers each user the option of using a "Do Not Track header" to prevent the use of the Hotjar tool so that no data is recorded about the visit to the respective website. This is a setting that is supported by all common browsers in current versions. For this purpose, your browser sends a request to Hotjar, with the indication to deactivate the tracking of the respective user. If you use our website with different browsers/computers, you must set up the "Do Not Track header" separately for each of these browsers/computers.

Detailed instructions with information about your browser can be found at: www.hotjar.com/opt-out.
More information about Hotjar Ltd. and about the Hotjar tool can be found at: www.hotjar.com.

18. Privacy Policy for the use of Google reCaptcha
We use the Google reCaptcha service to determine whether a person or computer makes a particular entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following information to determine whether you are a human being or a computer: IP address of the terminal device used, the website that you visit on our site and on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks for which you must identify images. The legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f Basic Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated entries (attacks).

19. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. 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 the data subject is 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) lit. 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. Is our company 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) lit. 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) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. 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 which require protection of personal data. 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 the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

20. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

21. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

22. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

23. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
This Privacy Policy has been generated by the Privacy Policy Generator of the German Association for Data Protection that was developed in cooperation with RC GmbH, which sells used IT and the filesharing Lawyers from WBS-LAW.

 

 

Information requirements for the use of Microsoft Teams

 

Description of the processing activity

With this data protection notice we inform you about the processing of your personal data in the context of our project work, online meetings, video conferences, webinars (hereinafter: "online meetings" using the video conferencing solution Microsoft Teams).

E-Mail: info(at)stuermer-maschinen.de

Note: If you access the "Microsoft Teams" website, the "Microsoft Teams" provider is responsible for data processing. However, accessing the website is only necessary for the use of "Microsoft Teams" in order to download the software for the use of "Microsoft Teams". If you do not want to or cannot use the "Microsoft Teams" app, you can also use "Microsoft Teams" via your browser. The service will then also be provided via the "Microsoft Teams" website.

Contact details of the data protection officer

The data protection officer of the controller can be reached at: datenschutz(at)stuermer-maschinen.de . Any data subject may contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection. 

Purposes of the processing

We use the "Microsoft Teams" tool to conduct project work, conference calls, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars (hereinafter: "Online Meetings").

"Microsoft Teams" is a service of Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited
One Microsoft Place
South County Business Park
Leopardstown
Dublin 18D18 P521
Ireland

When using "Microsoft Teams", various types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an "online meeting" and during the project work.

The following personal data are subject to processing:

  • User details: e.g. display name ("Display name"), email address. Profiling information.
  • Meeting metadata: e.g. date, time, meeting ID, telephone numbers, location.
  • Text, audio and video data: you may have the opportunity to use the chat function in an "online meeting". In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the "online meeting". In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and from any video camera of the terminal device are processed accordingly during the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the "Microsoft Teams" applications.

We use "Microsoft Teams" to conduct "online meetings". In principle, there is no recording of the "online meetings". An exceptional recording is only made with your consent.

A user can read the chat history afterwards and without participating in a meeting, as long as the meeting was invited from a team and you yourself are part of this team. The chat history of meetings can therefore be read in principle.

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR is not used.

In the context of project work on the Microsoft Teams platform, project content is shared in various file formats (Word, PDF, etc.) and is visible to all members of the respective team. No personal data of third parties is placed on the platform as content of documents, nor is any confidential content, especially that which is subject to professional or business secrecy.

Legal basis of the processing

Insofar as personal data of employees of Stürmer Maschinen GmbH are processed, § 26 BDSG is the legal basis for data processing.

If, in connection with the use of "Microsoft Teams", personal data is not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but is nevertheless an elementary component in the use of "Microsoft Teams", Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO is the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, our interest is the effective implementation of "online meetings" and project work in and with Microsoft Teams.

In addition, the legal basis for data processing when conducting "online meetings" and project work is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DSGVO, insofar as the meetings are conducted within the scope of contractual relationships.

If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Here too, our interest is the effective implementation of "online meetings" and project work.

Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in "online meetings" and project work are generally not disclosed to third parties unless they are specifically intended for disclosure. Please note that content from "online meetings" as well as personal meetings is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended to be passed on.

Other recipients: The provider of "Microsoft Teams" necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data, insofar as this is provided for in the context of our order processing agreement with "Microsoft Teams".

Transfer of personal data to a third country

Data processing outside the European Union (EU) does not take place as a general rule, as we have limited our storage location to data centres in the European Union. However, we cannot exclude the routing of data via internet servers that are located outside the EU. This can be the case in particular if participants in "Online Meetings" are in a third country or external products are used. However, the data is encrypted during transport over the internet and thus protected from unauthorised access by third parties.

Duration of the storage of personal data

We delete personal data when there is no need for further storage. A requirement may exist in particular if the data is still needed in order to fulfil contractual services, to check and grant or ward off warranty and, if applicable, guarantee claims. In the case of statutory retention obligations, deletion is only considered after the expiry of the respective retention obligation.

Personal data protection rights

According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:

  • If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR).
  • If inaccurate personal data is processed, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR).
  • If the legal requirements are met, you may request erasure or restriction of processing as well as object to processing (Art. 17, 18 and 21 GDPR).
  • If you have consented to the data processing or if there is a contract for data processing and the data processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures, you may have the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

Should you make use of your above-mentioned rights, Stürmer Maschinen GmbH will check whether the legal requirements are fulfilled. To exercise your rights, please contact the data protection officer.
