Provision of the website and creation of log files

Description, purpose, and scope of data processing

The following data is collected:

  • Information about the browser type and the version used
  • The user's operating system
  • The user's internet service provider
  • The user's IP address
  • The date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
  • Websites accessed by the user's system from our website

Temporarily storing the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. The user's IP address needs to remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data for optimising the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An evaluation for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.]

Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is point (f) of GDPR Article 6(1).

Duration of storage

The data will be erased as soon as they are no longer needed for the purpose of their collection. If the data was collected for providing the website, this is the case when the session is over.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or obscured so that an identification of the accessing client is no longer possible.]

Objection and removal

Inquiry form and e-mail contact

Description, purpose, and scope of data processing

Our website provides an inquiry form, which can be used for contacting us electronically. If a user uses this option, then the data entered into the input mask is transferred to us and stored. This data is:

  • Title
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Company/authority
  • Function
  • Street
  • Area code/city
  • Country
  • Phone
  • Fax
  • E-mail
  • Customer status
  • Requested documents
  • Request

At the time the message is sent, the following data is stored in addition:

  • The user's IP address
  • Date and time of registration
  • HTTP header

We process personal data from the input screen solely for processing the contact. In case of a contact via e-mail, there is also a required, justified interest in processing the data.

Other personal data processed during the transfer are used to prevent abuse of the contact form and ensure the security of our IT systems.

As part of the transfer, we obtain your consent and refer to this Privacy Policy.

Alternatively, contact is possible via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the personal data transferred in the e-mail is stored.

The data collected in this context is not forwarded to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

Legal basis for processing

If the user's consent is granted, then the legal basis for processing the data is point (a) of GDPR Article 6(1).

The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in an e-mail is point (f) of GDPR Article 6(1). If the e-mail contact is made with the intent of entering into a contract, then point (b) of GDPR Article 6(1) serves as an additional legal basis.

Duration of storage

The data will be erased as soon as they are no longer needed for the purpose of their collection. For personal data from the input screen of the contact form or data submitted via e-mail, then this is the case when the conversation with the user ends. The conversation ends when circumstances justify the conclusion that the relevant matter has been finally settled.

Additional data collected during the sending process is deleted no more than seven days later.

Objection and removal

The user has the right, at any time, to withdraw his or her consent to the processing personal data. If a user contacts us via e-mail, then he or she may object to the storing of their personal data at any time. In such an event, the conversation cannot be continued.

All personal data that was stored during the contact will be deleted in this case.

Social media / Linkedin

We are present in various social media in order to communicate with our customers, interested parties and users registered there and to be able to inform them about our offers there.

We would like to point out that you use these platforms and their functions as a matter of your own responsibility. This applies, in particular, to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

We would also like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union.

In addition, your data may be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles may be created from your usage behaviour and the resulting interests. This allows, for example, advertisements to be placed within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interest. Cookies are usually stored on your computer for this purpose. Irrespective of this, data that is not collected directly from your end devices may also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if you are a member of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

We, as the provider of this information service, do not collect or process any further data from your use of our service.

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users pursuant to Article 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR. If you are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e. you declare your consent e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis of the processing is Article 6 (1)(1)(a), Article 7 GDPR.

Possibility of objection

If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our website and link it to your stored membership data with the respective network, you must log out of the respective network before visiting our website, delete the cookies present on the device and close and restart your browser. After logging in again, however, you will once more be recognisable to the network as a specific user. For a detailed description of the respective processing and the options to object (opt-out), we refer to the information of the providers linked below.

Also in the event of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that they may be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

With regard to the rights of objection as well as all data subject rights vis-à-vis data processing by LinkedIn, reference is made to their privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=uno-reg-guest-home-privacy-policy

Based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a EU-DSGVO)

Insofar as you have given us consent to process personal data for certain purposes (e.g. use of the e-mail address for sending the newsletter), the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent. Consent given can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the EU-DSGVO came into force, i.e. before 25.05.2018.

The processing of data is carried out for the performance of a contract with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures which are carried out at your request.
