3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

However, at the relevant points we will remind you of the legal basis on which your personal data is processed.

4. Disclosure of personal data

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

a) you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR,

b) the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,

5. Storage duration and deletion

We store all personal data that you send us only for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purposes for which the data was sent or if this is required by law. Upon fulfilment of the purpose and/or expiry of the statutory storage periods, the data will be deleted or barred by us.

6. Secure socket layer encryption

The website of Schaeffertec GmbH uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by address line of the browser which changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

7. Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use

a) When visiting the website 

By visiting our website, information is automatically sent to the server of our website by the browser used on your end device. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is recorded without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• IP address of the requesting computer,

• Date and time of access,

• Name and URL of the retrieved file,

• Website from which the access takes place (referrer URL),

• the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

We process the above-mentioned data for the following purposes:

Evaluation of the system security and system stability as well as data that allow an inference to your person, such as the IP address, will be deleted after 7 days at the latest. Should we store the data beyond this period, these data will be anonymized, and an assignment to you is no longer possible.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. F GDPR. Our legitimate interest results from the purposes of data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You will find more detailed explanations on this in sections 9 and 10 of this data protection declaration.

b) Contact form / e-mail contact

We provide you with a contact form on our website that you can use to contact us at any time. To use the contact form, it is necessary to enter a name for a personal form of address and a valid e-mail address, for us to know from whom the enquiry originates and to be able to process it.

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details provided in the contact form, including the contact data you provide there, as well as your IP address, will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letters b and f GDPR for the purpose of implementing pre-contractual measures taken in response to your enquiry or for the purpose of protecting our legitimate interest, namely for the purpose of carrying out our business activities.

You are also welcome to send us an e-mail using the e-mail address provided on our website. In this case, we will store and process your e-mail address and the information provided by you in the e-mail in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR to process your message.

The inquiries as well as the associated data will be deleted 3 months after receipt at the latest, unless they are needed for a further contractual relationship.

c) Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts on our Internet pages. This enables us to display fonts. Google Fonts is a service of Google Inc. ("Google"). The integration of these Web Fonts is done by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. Through this, the following may be transmitted to the server and stored by Google:

• Name of the used browser

• Version of the browser

• Website from which the request was initiated

• Operating system of the user

• Screen resolution of the user

• IP address of the user

• Language settings of the browser or the operating system that the user is using

You can find more information in Google's privacy policy, which you can download here:

The use of Google fonts makes it easier for you to read our website and makes it graphically more pleasant and is therefore based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

d) Use of Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps API. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) can be transmitted to a Google server (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043) in the USA and stored there.

Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties if this is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Your IP address will under no circumstances be associated with other Google data. Nevertheless, we must point out that it would be technically possible for Google to identify individual users based on the received data.

We also have no influence on whether your personal data and personality profiles are processed for other purposes by Google. If you want to avoid this under any circumstances, you can deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent the data transfer to Google. To do so, you only need to deactivate JavaScript in your browser. In this case, no data will be transferred, but you will no longer be able to use the map display on our website.

You can view the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

The use of Google Maps is a service for you, enabling you to locate our site precisely and, if necessary, to better organize your visit. The use of Google Maps is therefore based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

8. Redirection (links) to internet presences of business partners

If the person in question uses the links on our website to access the websites of business partners, the use of these websites is exclusively covered by the privacy policy of the respective website owner.

Schaeffertec GmbH assumes no responsibility for the data processing and possible storage of personal data of the respective internet presences of business partners.

In order to avoid abuse, the IP address of the user as well as the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent the abuse of the services. The data will not be disclosed to third parties. An exception is made if there is a legal obligation to disclose the data.

10.) YouTube videos

We have embedded YouTube videos on our website which are stored on https://www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in "extended data protection mode", which means that no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos.

YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles; in which case you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. In addition, the data below will be transmitted:

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to generate reports on the website activities and to provide us with further services related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
