Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under the data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent. The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, shall always be in line with the German Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "S TEAM 92 Gesellschaft für Automatisierungstechnik & Elektromontage mbH". By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the best possible protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to submit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by post. 2. Data controller

4. Definitions of terms

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. In this privacy policy, we use the following terms amongst others:

4.1. Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. An identifiable individual is someone 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 individual.

4.2. Data subject

The term data subject refers to any identified or identifiable individual whose personal data is processed by the data controller (our company).

4.3. Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of transmission, alignment or combination, restriction, deletion or destruction.

4.4. Restriction of processing

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

4.5. Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to an individual, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that individual’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

4.6. Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation 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 separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable individual.

4.7. Processor

The term processor refers to an individual or legal person, public authority, agency or other body who processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.

4.8. Recipient

The term recipient refers to an individual or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not they are a third party. However, 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.

4.9. Third parties

The term third party refers to an individual or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

4.10. Consent

The terms consent refers to any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject’s wishes, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. Legal basis of processing

Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company 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 you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries 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 the fulfilment of tax obligations, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another individual. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take priority. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, they took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We shall only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR,

2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6(1), sentence 1 (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,

3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR, as well as if

4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6(1), sentence 1 (b) GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a “https://” instead of a “http://” in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line. We use this technology to protect the data you transmit.

7.2 Data collection when visiting our website

When you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a series of general data and information each time you or an automated system access a page. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be collected:

1. the used browser types and versions,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at 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.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required to

1. deliver the contents of our website correctly,

2. to optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for it,

3. to ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and

4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1), sentence 1(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

7.3 Data collection when visiting our website

1. the used browser types and versions,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at 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. a shortened Internet protocol address (anonymised IP address),

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system. When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required to

1. deliver the contents of our website correctly,

2. to optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for it,

3. to ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and

4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1), sentence 1(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

8. Cookies

8.1 General information on cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site. Information is stored in the cookie that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our offer more convenient for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted once you have left our website. In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again. On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already been with us when you visit our site again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR. For all other cookies, you must have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.

9. Contents of our website

9.1 Registration as a user

You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data. The personal data that is transmitted to us in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to us. By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), and the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable us to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution. Your registration with the voluntary provision of personal data also allows us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database. We will provide you with information about which personal data is stored about you at any time upon request. Furthermore, we correct or delete personal data at your request, provided this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this privacy policy and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context. Data is processed in the interest of convenient and simple use of our website. This represents a legitimate interest in terms of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

9.2 Contact establishment / contact form

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you, and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

10. Plug-ins and other services

10.1 Google Maps

On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographical information. By using this service, for example, our location can be shown to you to facilitate a planned journey. Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there when you call up sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. Google Ireland Limited, based in Ireland, is certified for the us-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and therefore also the map display on this website will then not be able to be used. These processing operations are only carried out when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR. You can view Google’s terms of use at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms of use for Google Maps at www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html. Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on the Google website (“Google Privacy Policy”): www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a prescribed storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

13. Storage period for personal data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.
