Data protection

Stührenberg GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the operator) appreciates your interest in our company and our products and services and would like you to feel secure with regard to the protection of your personal data..

Privacy protection, especially for the future of Internet-based business models and for the development of an Internet-based economy, is of crucial importance. Therefore, we want to underline our commitment to protecting your privacy with this privacy statement.

Our employees as well as the service companies commissioned by us are obligated by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of the Basic Data Protection Regulation and other relevant data protection provisions.

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 country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the operator. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects shall be informed by means of this data protection declaration about the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, the operator has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us alternatively, e.g. by telephone or by post.

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and adhere strictly to the rules of data protection laws.

 

Definitions

The data protection declaration of the operator is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our guests and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy:


Personal data

Personal data is 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 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.

Person concerned

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

Verarbeitung

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

Restriction of the processing

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

Profiling

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person's job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.

Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or person responsible for the processing

The controller or person responsible for 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 designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

Processor

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

Receiver

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

Third party

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

Consent

Consent is any indication of intent given voluntarily by the data subject for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous manner in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative action by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her (e.g., when contacting us via a form)..

 

Legal basis of processing

Article 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations in 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, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. If the processing is necessary due to a legitimate interest, the processing is based on Art. 7 I lit. f.

 

Rights of the data subject

If the data subject wishes to exercise one or more of the rights described below, he or she may, at any time, contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.


Confirmation right

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may, at any time, contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.

Right to information

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to obtain at any time from the controller, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of that information. Furthermore, the European Directive and Regulation has granted the data subject access to the following information.

Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.


Right to rectification

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

Right to deletion (right to be forgotten)

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the controller the erasure without delay of personal data concerning him or her, where one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  1. The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  2. The data subject revokes the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
  4. The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  5. The deletion of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

If the personal data have been made public by the operator and our company as the controller is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17 (1) of the GDPR, the operator shall implement reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, in order to inform other data controllers which are processing the published personal data, that the data subject has requested from those other data controllers the erasure of all links to the personal data or copies or replications of the personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The Data Protection Officer of the operator or another employee will arrange the necessary in individual cases.

Right to restriction of processing

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  4. The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.


Right to data portability

He or she also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to obtain the direct transfer of personal data from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.

Right to object

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The operator shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If the operator processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Any data subject concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European Directive and the Regulation, 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, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) it is made with the data subject's explicit consent, the operator shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain the data subject's involvement on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to revoke consent under data protection law

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

 

Use and disclosure
of personal data

Personal data that you provide to us via our website or by other means will be collected, processed and stored for correspondence with you and for the purposes for which you provided the data to us. In addition, we may use this data for occasional offers to you and to inform you about new products or services and other services that may be of interest to you. You can object to this use of your data at any time by sending us a suitable message, for example an e-mail.

 

When disclosing personal data to third parties, we limit ourselves to the information that is necessary to provide our respective services. The respective third party provider may only use this personal data to provide the requested service or to carry out the necessary transaction, which is done on our behalf. The service providers are thereby obligated by us to comply with data protection laws. We will never pass on, sell or otherwise make available your personal data to third parties for third-party marketing purposes.

The operator may be forced to disclose your data and related information by court or government order. Likewise, we reserve the right to use your data to assert or defend against legal claims. In accordance with applicable law, we also reserve the right to store and disclose personal and other data on an incidental basis for the purpose of detecting and combating illegal activities, attempted fraud or a violation of the Operator's Terms of Use.

 

Contact possibility via the website

Due to legal provisions, our website contains data that enable a quick electronic contact 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 by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. No disclosure of this personal data to third parties will take place.

 

Secure communication on the Internet

By taking technical and organizational measures, we endeavor to transmit and store your personal data in such a way that they are not accessible to third parties.

In general, however, the Internet is regarded as an insecure medium. In contrast to the telephone line, for example, it is easier for unauthorized third parties to intercept, record, or even modify data transmitted over the Internet.

To ensure the confidentiality of communication with you, we use AES 256bit SSL encryption. According to the current state of knowledge, this encryption used by us is considered secure. This level of security is achieved by the operating systems and browsers of the younger generation. If necessary, you should update the operating system and browser on your PC to be able to use this high-level encryption.

In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, complete data security cannot be guaranteed, so we recommend that you send confidential information by post.

 

Data processing on this website

For security and technical reasons, the operator automatically processes in their system logs information that your browser sends to us. These are essentially:

- Browser type/version
- operating system used
- the URL (website)
- referrer URL (the website that referred to our website)
- host name and full IP address of the accessing computer
- date and time of the retrieval
- retrieved data volume and file types.

We do not merge this data with other data sources,
or perform statistical analyses based on this data.

Some notes on IP addresses: IP addresses are mandatory for sending the web pages and data from our servers to your browser, they are the "addresses" for the information you request from our web servers. However, IP addresses are considered by the prevailing legal opinion to be personal data and are therefore used by us only to the extent technically necessary.

Cookies

Our Internet pages use so-called cookies in several places. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer.

We use the following cookies:

PHPSESSID: Required to establish the user session; contains a 32-character alphanumeric string, is deleted when the browser is closed

_pk_id.<nr>,_pk_ses.<nr>: These are 1st-party cookies generated by the statistical software Matomo. These "persistent" cookies are stored on the computer and lose their validity only when the expiration date assigned to them has expired. This allows us to recognize whether a visitor has already been on our site and what content this person was interested in; Contains a 51-digit alphanumeric string, duration: 13 months (_pk_id.<nr>), 30 minutes (_pk_ses.<nr>)

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies" (cookie "PHPSESSID") for your user session. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit (closing the browser). All cookies on our websites contain purely technical information in pseudo-anonymized or anonymized form, they do not contain any personal data.

If you would like to prevent cookies from being saved, you must select "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. If no cookies are accepted by the browser, however, the range of functions of our Internet offer may be very limited. Some functions will then no longer be available.

 

Application data

Application data is stored and processed by us and forwarded to the responsible contact person at. Your data will be used exclusively for correspondence with you and for processing your application as part of our personnel selection process.

To protect your application documents, we recommend sending them as a password-protected ZIP file. You can inform us of the password by telephone. Access to your application data is reserved for the HR department and managers. Your transmitted data in the context of the application process will be deleted after 6 months, unless you have clearly agreed to a longer storage.

 

Web analysis with Matomo (formerly Piwik)

User actions on the website are recorded and evaluated by the tracking software Matomo (www.matomo.org). The storage of the IP address is anonymous here, i.e. the last two octets of the IP address are set to 0. This means that the data collected cannot be traced back to a specific person.

The tracking software is only used to adapt the website to the current technical conditions and to optimize the Internet offering for users. A transfer to third parties is excluded.

The tracking software is operated via a partner company located in Germany on its own encrypted server. Statistics data and any personal data (e.g. via registration or contact forms) are therefore stored separately on different servers. A link between personal data and statistics data is absolutely excluded.


Objection of the web analysis

You have the right to object to the collection of anonymized data by Matomo.

The objection is stored in the form of an opt-out cookie, so that, for example, after deleting all browser cookies, the opt-out must be declared again.

Routine deletion and
blocking of personal data.

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Duration for which the personal data are stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

 

Update of this privacy policy

As far as the operator introduces new products or services, changes Internet procedures or if the Internet and EDP security technology develops further, the data protection declaration is to be updated. We therefore reserve the right to amend or supplement the declaration as required. We will publish the change at this point.
