Privacy

We are delighted about your interest in our company. Data protection is vitally important to the management of QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH. The webpages of QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our company via our website, the 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 consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH. Our company would like to use this Privacy Policy to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Further, this Privacy Policy informs data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions are generally prone to security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH’s Privacy Policy is based on the terms used by the European legislature for the enactment 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 this end, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

The terms used in this Privacy Policy include the following:

• a) personal data

  Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter: “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular through allocation to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more characteristics specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

• b) data subject

  The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

• c) processing

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

• d) restriction of processing

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

• e) profiling

  Profiling is 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

• 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

  The controller 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 designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

• h) processor

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

• i) recipient

  The recipient is 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 investigation mandate in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

• j) third parties

  A 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.

• k) consent

  Consent is 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.

4. Collection of general data and information

The QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH website collects a range of general data and information when a data subject or automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Information collected may be: the (1) 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 (referrer), (4) the sub-pages which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

In using this general data and information, QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website and its advertising, (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 the event of a cyberattack. To this end, QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH statistically analyses anonymously collected data and information with the aim of increasing the data protection and security of our company, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as far as this has been provided for by the European legislative body or another legislative body in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a retention period prescribed by the European legislature or another competent legislative body expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

6. Rights of the data subject

• a) Right of access

  Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislature to obtain from the controller, free of charge and at any time, information about his or her personal data stored and a copy of this information. The European legislature has also granted the data subject access to the following information:

• c) Right to rectification

  Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of incorrect personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.

• d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

  Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and as long as processing is not essential:

  • The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1) a) GDPR, or Article 9(2) a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
  • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

  If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to exercise this right to the erasure of personal data stored by QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH or another employee shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

  Where QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH has made the personal data public and as controller is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such other controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, insofar as the processing is not essential. The Data Protection Officer of QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH or another employee shall arrange the necessary measures in the individual case.

• e) Right to restriction of processing

  Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following grounds applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests restriction of their use instead.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending verification as to whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

  If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to exercise this right to restriction of personal data stored by QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH or another employee shall arrange the restriction of the processing.

• f) Right to data portability

  Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to of Article 6(1) a) GDPR or Article 9(2) a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant Article 6(1) b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

  In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely impact the rights and freedoms of other persons.

  In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the Data Protection Officer designated by QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH or another employee.

• g) Right to objec

  Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Article 6(1) e) or f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

  In the event of an objection, QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  Where QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as this is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH’s processing for direct marketing purposes, QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

  Where personal data is processed by QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, the data subject, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, shall also have the right to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

  In order to assert the right to object, the data subject may at any time contact the Data Protection Officer designated by QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH or another employee. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may also exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

• h) Automated decision-making in the individual case, including profiling

  Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, insofar as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

  If the decision is (1) necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, QUADRUS Metalltechnik GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to state his or her own point of view and to contest the decision.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.

• i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

  Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature to withdraw at any time their consent to the processing of personal data.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise their right to revocation of consent, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.

7. Data protection provisions concerning the use and application of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the Facebook company into this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or allows the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, for example.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With every access of one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en. In the context of this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge about which specific pages of our website have been accessed by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on Facebook at the same time, with every access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our site, Facebook detects which specific pages of our website was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in to Facebook when accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not desire this sort of transmission of information to Facebook, he or she may prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The privacy policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy, provides information about Facebook’s collection, processing and use of personal data. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to prevent data being transmitted to Facebook. The data subject can employ such applications to prevent data being transmitted to Facebook.

8. Data protection provisions concerning the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation)

The controller has integrated components of Google Analytics (with anonymisation) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, accumulation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (referrer), which pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used for the optimisation of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” add-on for web analysis through Google Analytics. Using this add-on, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection will be truncated and anonymised by Google if our website is accessed from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of visitor traffic to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, for example, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activity on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. We have already explained above what cookies are. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyse the use of our website. Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transfer data to Google for the purposes of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, for example, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission calculations.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose the personal data collected via this technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time using the corresponding setting in the web browser used, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. This sort of setting in the browser used would also prevent Google Analytics placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Moreover, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

The data subject also has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics concerning the use of this website and to the processing of this data, and to prevent such collection. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google to be an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is erased, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of control, the browser add-on can be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US and at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/gb/. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/.

9. Data protection provisions concerning the use and application of Google AdWords

The controller has integrated components of Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google’s search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords by means of which an ad is displayed in Google’s search engine results only when the user accesses a keyword-relevant search result in the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and taking into account the pre-defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and the insertion of third-party advertising on our website.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and the insertion of third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a “conversion cookie” is stored by Google on the data subject’s IT system. We have already explained above what cookies are. A conversion cookie becomes void after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. For as long as the conversion cookie remains valid, it is used to ascertain whether certain pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to understand whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create traffic statistics for our website. These traffic statistics are used by us in turn to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords advert and to optimise our AdWords adverts for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Accordingly, with each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose the personal data collected via this technical process to third parties.

Die betroffene Person kann die Setzung von Cookies durch unsere Internetseite, wie oben bereits dargestellt, jederzeit mittels einer entsprechenden Einstellung des genutzten Internetbrowsers verhindern und damit der Setzung von Cookies dauerhaft widersprechen. Eine solche Einstellung des genutzten Internetbrowsers würde auch verhindern, dass Google einen Conversion-Cookie auf dem informationstechnologischen System der betroffenen Person setzt. Zudem kann ein von Google AdWords bereits gesetzter Cookie jederzeit über den Internetbrowser oder andere Softwareprogramme gelöscht werden.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time using the corresponding setting in the web browser used, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. This sort of setting in the web browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Moreover, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

10. Legal grounds for the processing

Article 6(1) a) GDPR serves our company 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 a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1) b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1) c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1) d) GDPR. Finally, processing could be based on Article 6(1) f) GDPR. This serves as a legal basis for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned 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 is permitted to us in particular because it has been specifically mentioned by the European legislature. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed when the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

11. Legitimate interest in the processing, pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is in conducting our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

12. Period for which the personal data is retained

The criterion for the duration of the retention of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely erased, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

13. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may come about on the basis of contractual provisions (information concerning the contractual partner). For the conclusion of a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, he or she must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis as to whether the provision of the personal data is required contractually or by law 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.

14. Existence of automated decision-making

As a conscientious company, we do not implement automated decision-making or profiling.

The Privacy Policy has been created by the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which is active as Data Protection Officer in cooperation with the data protection attorneys at the legal practice of WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Rechtsanwälte erstellt.
