Data Protection Declaration

Data protection declaration

 

Data protection is very important to our company. Our website can normally be used without having to specify any personal information. Should a person concerned wish to make use of special services of our company online, however, the processing of personal information may be necessary. Should the processing of personal information be necessary, yet there be no legal basis for such processing, we always request the consent of the person concerned.

The processing of personal information, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a person concerned, is always carried out in compliance with the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) active as of May 25, 2018 and other applicable laws. With this data protection declaration, our company would like to provide information on the type, scope and purpose of personal information processed by us and to clarify to persons concerned those rights which are granted to them.

Our company has implemented many technical and organizational measures for ensuring the protection of processed personal information in a way which minimizes gaps to the greatest extent possible. However, the fact that Internet-based data transmissions can be subject to gaps in security means that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

 

1 Definition of terms

The data protection declaration of our company is based on the GDPR. Our data protection declaration is intended to be easily readable and comprehensible. To ensure this, we would like to clarify the terms used in advance:

1.1 Personal information

Personal information is “all information referring to an identified or identifiable natural person (“person concerned” in the following); a natural person is considered as being identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular through the association of identifying information, such as a name, ID number, location information, screen name or one or more special characteristics which are an expression of the physical, psychological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person” (GDPR Art. 4 para. 1).

1.2 Person concerned

A person concerned is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal information is processed by the party responsible for processing personal information.

1.3 Processing

Processing is any procedure carried out either with or without the aid of automated methods or any such series of procedures in connection with personal information, such as the collection, recording, organization, arrangement, storage, editing or modification, reading out, querying, use, publication through transmission, distribution or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

1.4 Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal information with the goal of restricting its future processing.

1.5 Profiling

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal information whereby this personal information is used to assess certain personal aspects referring to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects regarding job performance, economic status, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, residence or change of location of this natural person.

1.6 Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal information whereby the personal information can no longer be associated with a specific person concerned without the use of additional information. This additional information, which is subject to technical and organizational measures, is stored separately, thus guaranteeing that the personal information is not associated with an identified or identifiable natural person.

1.7 Responsible party or party responsible for processing personal information

The responsible party or party responsible for processing personal information is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity which makes decisions either solely or together with other parties with regard to the purpose and means of personal information processing.

1.8 Order processor

An order processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity which processes personal information on behalf of the responsible party.

1.9 Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity to which personal information is disclosed, regardless of whether or not they are a third party. Authorities which may receive personal information within the scope of a specific investigation mandate in accordance with European Union law or the law of member states, however, are not considered recipients.

1.10 Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other entity other than the person concerned, the responsible party, the order processor and those persons who are authorized to process personal information under the direct responsibility of the responsible party or the order processor.

1.11 Consent

Consent is any informed and unambiguous statement of intent voluntarily given by the person concerned for the specific case in the form of a declaration or other clearly confirming action through which the person concerned indicates that they are in agreement with the processing of personal information concerning them.

4 Cookies

The website of our company use cookies. Cookies are text files stored and saved on a computer system by a web browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It is comprised of a sequence of characters through which websites and servers can be associated with a specific web browser in which the cookie was saved. This makes it possible for visited websites and servers to differentiate between the individual browser of the person concerned from other web browsers containing other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, T.CON GmbH & Co. KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services which would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. Cookies enable us, as mentioned above, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make the use of our website easier for users. For example, a user of a website who uses cookies does not need to enter their login data each time they visit the website, as it is obtained from the website and the cookie stored on the computer system of the user. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online store. The online store remembers the items which a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart using a cookie.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time using the corresponding setting of the web browser being used, thus objecting to the setting of cookies indefinitely. Moreover, cookies which have already been set can be deleted at any time using a web browser or other software program. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the web browser used, some of the functions of our website may not be fully usable under certain circumstances.

5 Collection of general data and information

The web server of T.CON GmbH & Co. KG collects a series of general data and information each time the website is called up by a person concerned or an automated system. This general data and information are saved in the log files of the server. The browser types and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system reached our website, sub-pages directed to our website by an accessing system, the date and time of access to the website, an Internet protocol address (IP address), the Internet service provider of the accessing system and other similar data and information which serves to avert danger should our IT systems be attacked can be collected.

In using this general data and information, T.CON GmbH & Co. KG does not draw conclusions about the person concerned. On the contrary, this information is required for properly providing the content of our website, optimizing the content of our website and its advertising, the continual functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, as well as to provide required information to law enforcement authorities in case of a cyberattack. This is why this anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by T.CON GmbH & Co. KG both statistically and with the objective of increasing data protection and data security at our company so that an optimum level of protection for the personal information processed by us can ultimately be ensured. The anonymous data of the server log files is saved separately from all personal information specified by a person concerned.

6 Making contact through the website

For legal reasons, the website of our company contains information which enables visitors to quickly contact our company electronically and which enables immediate contact with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). Should a person concerned make contact with the party responsible for processing personal information via e-mail or using a contact form, the personal information transmitted by the person concerned is saved automatically. Such personal information transmitted on a voluntary basis by a person concerned to the party responsible for processing personal information is saved for processing purposes or for contacting the person concerned. This personal information is not passed on to third parties.

7 Customer survey

At regular intervals, we invite our customer base to participate in a customer survey. The purpose of processing data in association with the survey is with our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, for the purposes of continually improving our performance and services.   Receipt of the customer survey represents an invitation to participate in the survey, but you are not obliged to do so. 

If you decide to participate, we will process your data and assessments on the basis of your explicit, voluntary declaration of consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.   This data processing includes analysis of your data and assessments relating to our services.

The customer survey is carried out on our behalf by a service provider, who acts as a processor for us in the sense of Article 28 of the GDPR.  

The customer survey will usually be evaluated anonymously. In specific cases with low participant numbers it may not be possible to anonymize the survey.
 

8 Routine deletion and blocking of personal information

The party responsible for processing personal information processes and saves personal information of the person concerned only for the period of time required for achieving the objective of the processing or if stipulated by lawmakers in laws or regulations to which the party responsible for processing is subject. Should the purpose of saving the information no longer be in effect or a period of time for retention of the information specified by a lawmaker expire, the personal information is deleted routinely and according to the legal regulations.

9 Rights of the person concerned

This also applies for profiling based on these regulations.

Our company will no longer process the personal information in case of an objection unless we are able to give compelling legitimate reasons for such processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the person concerned or if such processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If our company processes personal information for the purpose of direct advertising, the person concerned has the right to file an objection to the processing of personal information for the purpose of this type of advertising.

Data protection regulations on the use of Facebook

The party responsible for processing personal information 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 which generally enables users to communicate with one another and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experience and makes it possible to provide personal or business-related information to the Internet community. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photographs and network via friendship requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025. Should a person concerned live outside the US or Canada, the party responsible for processing personal information is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Every time a website which is operated by the party responsible for processing personal information and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be called up at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_EN. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information on the specific sub-page of our website which was visited by the person concerned.

Should the person concerned be logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook identifies the specific sub-page of our website visited by the person concerned for the entire duration of the respective visit to our website each time our website is called up by the person concerned. This information is collected by the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the person concerned by Facebook. Should the person concerned push one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, such as the “Like” button, or should the person concerned enter a comment, Facebook associates this information with the personal Facebook user account of the person concerned and saves this personal information.

Facebook then always receives information via the Facebook component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is also logged in to Facebook at the time our website is called up; this occurs regardless of whether or not the person concerned clicks the Facebook component. If this type of information transmission to Facebook is not desired by the person concerned, such transmission can be prevented by logging out of one’s Facebook account before calling up our website.

The data guidelines published by Facebook, which can be called up at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provide information on the collection, processing and use of personal information by Facebook. The setting options offered by Facebook for the protection of the privacy of the person concerned are also outlined there. A variety of different applications which enable data transmission to Facebook to be suppressed, such https://www.ghostery.com/, are also available. These types of applications can be used by the person concerned to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

 

Data protection regulations on the use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; „Google“). The use includes the „Universal Analytics“ operating mode. This facilitates the assignment of data, sessions and interactions across several devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus the analysis of a user's activities across devices.

Data protection regulations on the use of Google+

The party responsible for processing personal information has integrated the Google+ button as a component into this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community which generally enables users to communicate with one another and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experience and makes it possible to provide personal or business-related information to the Internet community. Google+ enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photographs and network via friendship requests, among other things.

The operating company Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351.

Every time an individual page of this website which is operated by the party responsible for processing personal information and into which a Google+ button has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information on the specific sub-page of our website which was visited by the person concerned. More precise information on Google+ can be called up at https://developers.google.com/+/.

Should the person concerned be logged into Google+ at the same time, Google identifies the specific sub-page of our website visited by the person concerned for the entire duration of the respective visit to our website each time our website is called up by the person concerned. This information is collected by the Google+ button and associated with the respective Google+ account of the person concerned by Google.

Should the person concerned push one of the Google+ buttons integrated into our website, thus submitting a Google+1 recommendation, Google associates this information with the personal Google+ user account of the person concerned and saves this personal information. Google saves the Google+1 recommendation of the person concerned and makes it publicly accessible in accordance with the conditions accepted by the person concerned in this regard. A Google+1 recommendation submitted by the person concerned on this website is subsequently saved and processed together with other personal information, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the person concerned and the photograph saved within it in other Google services, such as the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the person concerned or other locations, such as websites or in connection with advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other personal information saved by Google. Google also associates this personal information for the purpose of improving and optimizing a variety of different services available from Google.

Google then always receives information via the Google+ button that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is also logged in to Google+ at the time our website is called up; this occurs regardless of whether or not the person concerned clicks the Google+ button.

If the transmission of personal information to Google is not desired by the person concerned, such transmission can be prevented by logging out of one’s Google+ account before calling up our website.

More information and Google’s currently valid data protection regulations can be called up at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en. More information from Google on the Google+1 button can be called up at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

 

Data protection regulations on the use of Google AdWords

The party responsible for processing personal information has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising which permits advertisers to place advertisements both in the search engine results of Google and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords makes it possible for an advertiser to specify previously determined key words by means of which an advertisement in the search engine results of Google is then only displayed by Google if the user calls up a key word-related search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the advertisements are distributed using an automatic algorithm and under consideration of the previously defined key words on websites with a relevant topic.

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

The purpose of Google AdWords is the advertisement of our website through the display of interest-related advertisements on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If a person concerned reaches our website through a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is stored by Google on the information technology system of the person concerned. The meaning of cookies has been explained above. A conversion cookie becomes invalid after thirty (30) days and does not serve to identify the person concerned. If it has not already expired, the conversion cookie makes it possible to see whether specific sub-pages of our website, e.g. such as the shopping cart of an online shopping system, have been called up. Using the conversion cookie, both we and Google are able to see whether a person concerned who reached our website through an AdWords advertisement generated turnover, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.

Data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to generate visitor statistics for our website. These visitor statistics, in turn, are used by us to determine the total number of users brought to us through AdWords, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords advertisement and to optimize our AdWords advertisements for the future. Neither our company, nor other advertisers using Google AdWords, obtain information from Google through which the person concerned could be identified.

Personal information such as the websites visited by the person concerned are saved using the conversion cookie. Every time our website is visited, personal information including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned is thus transmitted to Google in the US. This personal information is saved by Google in the US. Google may pass on this information collected using the technical procedure to third parties under certain circumstances.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website as presented above at any time using the corresponding setting of the web browser being used, thus objecting to the setting of cookies indefinitely. This type of setting of the web browser being used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. A cookie set by Google AdWords can also be deleted using the web browser or other software programs at any time.

In addition, the person concerned can also object to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the person concerned must call up the www.google.com/settings/ads link in each of the web browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

More information and Google’s currently valid data protection regulations can be called up at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

Every time an individual page of this website which is operated by the party responsible for processing personal information and into which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information on the specific sub-page of our website which was visited by the person concerned.

Should the person concerned be logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram identifies the specific sub-page of our website visited by the person concerned for the entire duration of the respective visit to our website each time our website is called up by the person concerned. This information is collected by the Instagram component and associated with the respective Instagram account of the person concerned by Instagram. Should the person concerned press one of the Instagram buttons integrated into our website, the data and information which this transfers is associated with the personal Instagram user account of the person concerned and is saved and processed by Instagram.

Data protection regulations on the use of LinkedIn

The party responsible for processing personal information has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation into this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network which enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. More than 400 million registered people in over 200 countries use LinkedIn. This currently makes LinkedIn the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most-visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043. Data protection issues outside the US are the responsibility of LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Every time our website (which features a LinkedIn plug-in component) is called up, the component causes the browser used by the person concerned to download a corresponding representation of the component from LinkedIn. More information on the LinkedIn plug-in can be called up at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, LinkedIn receives information on the specific sub-page of our website which was visited by the person concerned.

Should the person concerned be logged into LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn identifies the specific sub-page of our website visited by the person concerned for the entire duration of the respective visit to our website each time our website is called up by the person concerned. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the person concerned by LinkedIn. Should the person concerned push one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated into our website, LinkedIn associates this information with the personal LinkedIn user account of the person concerned and saves this personal information.

LinkedIn then always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is also logged in to LinkedIn at the time our website is called up; this occurs regardless of whether or not the person concerned clicks the LinkedIn component.

Privacy policy on the use and application of X (formerly Twitter)

The controller has integrated components of Twitter on this website. Twitter is a multilingual publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and distribute so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 280 characters. These short messages can be accessed by anyone, including people who are not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow the tweets of a user. Furthermore, Twitter makes it possible to address a broad audience via hashtags, links or retweets.

The operating company of X (formerly Twitter) is X Corporation, formerly Twitter Incorporated and a subsidiary of X Holdings I Incorporated, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on the Twitter buttons can be found at about.twitter.com/en/resources/buttons. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Twitter receives knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to disseminate the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world and to increase our visitor numbers.

If the data subject is logged into Twitter at the same time, Twitter recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting with each call to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted will be assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter.

Twitter always receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Twitter at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Twitter component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Twitter, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Twitter account before calling up our website.

The applicable data protection provisions of Twitter are available at https://twitter.com/de/privacy.

 

Data protection regulations on the use of Xing

The party responsible for processing personal information has integrated components of Xing into this website. Xing is a web-based social network which enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. Individual users can create a personal profile of themselves at Xing. Companies can, for example, create company profiles and publish job offers on Xing.

The operating company of Xing is XING AG, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

Every time an individual page of this website which is operated by the party responsible for processing personal information and into which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Xing component to download a representation of the corresponding Xing component from Xing. More information on the Xing plug-in can be called up at https://dev.xing.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, Xing receives information on the specific sub-page of our website which was visited by the person concerned.

Should the person concerned be logged into Xing at the same time, Xing identifies the specific sub-page of our website visited by the person concerned for the entire duration of the respective visit to our website each time our website is called up by the person concerned. This information is collected by the Xing component and associated with the respective Xing account of the person concerned by Xing. Should the person concerned push one of the Xing buttons integrated into our website, such as the “Share” button, Xing associates this information with the personal Xing user account of the person concerned and saves this personal information.

Xing then always receives information via the Xing component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is also logged in to Xing at the time our website is called up; this occurs regardless of whether or not the person concerned clicks the Xing component. If this type of information transmission to Xing is not desired by the person concerned, such transmission can be prevented by logging out of one’s Xing account before calling up our website.

The data protection regulations published by Xing, which can be called up at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provide information on the collection, processing and use of personal information by Xing.
