4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The data that can be collected includes (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that 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 for security in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email in the double opt-in procedure is sent to the email address entered for the first time by a data subject for newsletter dispatch. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller’s website or to inform the controller of this in another way.

6. Newsletter-Tracking

The newsletters of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH can recognize whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the relevant separate declaration of consent issued via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. An unsubscribe from receiving the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH as a revocation.

7. Contact Option via the Website

Due to legal regulations, the website of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

8. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

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

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

9. Use of YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the Google-operated site YouTube. The site operator is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

10. Use of Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to Data Collection
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics. Further information on the handling of user data at Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Contract Data Processing
We have concluded a contract data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Characteristics at Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the “Objection to Data Collection” section.

Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in connection with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The summary of the collected data in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection operations that are not merged into your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the data protection regulations can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

11. Use of eTracker

Our website uses the analysis service etracker. The provider is etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1 20459 Hamburg Germany. Usage profiles can be created from the data under a pseudonym. Cookies can be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your internet browser. The cookies make it possible to recognize your browser again. The data collected with the etracker technologies are not used to personally identify visitors to our website without the separately granted consent of the data subject and are not merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.

You can object to data collection and storage at any time with effect for the future. To object to the collection and storage of your visitor data for the future, you can obtain an opt-out cookie from etracker at the following link, which ensures that no visitor data from your browser is collected and stored by etracker in the future: http://www.etracker.de/privacy?et=V23Jbb

This sets an opt-out cookie with the name “cntcookie” from etracker. Please do not delete this cookie as long as you wish to maintain your objection. Further information can be found in etracker’s privacy policy: http://www.etracker.com/de/datenschutz.html

12. Use of OpenStreetMap

We use the open source mapping tool “OpenStreetMap” (OSM) to display geo-data. OSM does not store any user data, appointment data is only stored on our servers. You can find more details at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ

13. Use of Pressebox

We use the press service www.pressebox.de to provide press releases. External content from the press service is integrated into our website and uses its own cookies generated by www.pressebox.de. Further information can be found in the privacy policy of pressebox: https://www.pressebox.de/info/datenschutzerklaerung/

14. Use of Webfonts (Adobe Typekit)

Adobe Typekit web fonts are used on this website. Typekit is a service offered by Adobe. This service provides fonts that are displayed in the user’s web browser after a server call to Adobe (in the USA). In this process, Adobe stores at least the IP address of the user’s end device browser on this website. Further information can be found in Typekit’s privacy policy.

15. Rights of the data subject

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

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to demand from the controller that the personal data concerning him or her be erased immediately, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws his or her consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
  • The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the member states to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data were collected in relation to offered information society services pursuant to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

  If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored at Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH erased, he or she can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately.

  If the personal data have been made public by Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH and our company as the controller is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested these other controllers to erase all links to these personal data or copies or replications of these personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The employee of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH will arrange for the necessary measures in individual cases.

• e) Right to restriction of processing

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to demand that the controller restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject, for a period that enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

  If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to demand the restriction of personal data stored at Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH, he or she can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH will arrange for the restriction of the processing.

• f) Right to data portability

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to receive the personal data concerning him or her that were provided by the data subject to a controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, provided that 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.

  Furthermore, when exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data are transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and insofar as this does not impair the rights and freedoms of other persons.

  To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH at any time.

• g) Right to objection

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to object at any time, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letters e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

  Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH no longer processes the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

  If Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH processes personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH processing for direct advertising purposes, Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

  In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her that is carried out at Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

  To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact any employee of Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise his or her right to object in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

• h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

  Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or significantly similarly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permissible under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and such law contains appropriate 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 controller or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Solcon Systemtechnik GmbH shall take appropriate 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 express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

  If the data subject wishes to assert rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

• i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

  Every data subject 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.

  If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

16. Data protection in applications and the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with the deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

17. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as a 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 the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 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 that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. 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 his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information were then passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh this. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

18. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

19. Duration for which the personal data are stored

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

20. Legal or contractual provisions on 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 partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data that must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis as to whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

21. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.

22. Changes to the data protection notices

We reserve the right to change and expand the data protection notices. The current status of the data protection notices is November 2018.
