Privacy Policy

Introduction

Please take the time to read our Privacy Policy.

Data protection is a subject that we take very seriously at our company. The viewing and use of the pages of our website is permitted without having to indicate any type of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use the services provided through our website, personal data of that user may be requested and processed. If there is a need to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will ask for your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as a data subject's name, address, email address or telephone number, as well as identifiers by electronic means, must always comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection and regulations applicable to our company.

Through this data protection statement, the organization informs the general public of the nature, intention and purpose of the personal data that is collected, used and processed. In addition, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As a data controller, our company has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, data transmissions over the Internet may have security gaps and absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, all data subjects are free to transfer personal data via alternative means, e.g. by e-mail.

We suggest that you read the privacy statements of the websites to which links are created from this website so that you can understand how external websites collect, use and share your information. Our company is not responsible for privacy statements or other content on external sites.

Data collection and general information

Our website collects a range of general data and information when a data subject or automated system accesses the website. This data and general information is stored in the server's log files.

The data collection may be:

• (1) the types of browsers and versions used;
• (2) the operating system used by the access system;
• (3) the website from which an access system arrives at our website (so-called referrers);
• (4) sub-sites;
• (5) date and time of access to the website;
• (6) Internet address (IP address);
• (7) Internet access provider of the access system;
• (8) any other data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

By using this data and general information, we do not obtain concrete information about the data subject. On the contrary, this information is necessary to:

• (1) present the content of the Website correctly;
• (2) optimize the content of the website, as well as the targeted advertising presented (if applicable);
• (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology;
• Provide authorities with the information they need to prosecute criminals in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, the organization statistically analyzes data and information collected anonymously, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our company, and ensuring an excellent level of protection for the personal data we process.

Anonymous data from server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by the user.

Registration on the website

Although it is not yet available, it may be possible for the user (data subject) to register on the indicated website some personal data. The personal data that will be transmitted to us is determined by the form used for registration.

The personal data entered by you is recorded and stored exclusively for internal use by our company and for the purpose described in the form.

When you register on our website, the IP address – assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration will be stored. The storage of this data takes place as a safeguard that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of crimes committed.

You are aware then that the storage of this data is necessary for our protection as data controllers.

The data is not passed on to third parties unless there is an obligation issued to transmit data, or if the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution

The registration of the user (data subject), with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable our website to offer the user content or services that can only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the subject matter.

Registered persons are free to change or delete the personal data transmitted during registration at any time.

Contact requests through the website

Our website contains several methods of communication that allow you to get in touch with our company quickly. This direct communication includes, for example, a general e-mail address (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the user will be stored automatically. Personal data voluntarily transmitted by the data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of further communication. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

Routines for deleting and blocking personal data

Our company, as a data controller, will process and store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose for which the storage was made, or to the extent that this is permitted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

If the purpose of the storage does not apply, or if the storage period defined by the European legislator or other competent legislator expires, the personal data will be blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

Data protection for applications and their processing – Recruitment Forms

The data controller will collect and process the personal data of the applications made by the user. This action may also be carried out electronically; An "application made electronically" is considered if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or via a form on the data controller's website.

If the data controller enters into an employment contract with a candidate, the data submitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment contract in accordance with legal requirements.

If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interest of the controller precludes the deletion of the data. Legitimate interest in this case could be, inter alia, a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Data protection information on the social network Facebook

On this site we integrate components of the Facebook company.

Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social sharing on the Internet, an online community, which generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or allow the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of this social network to create private profiles, post photos and create contacts through friend requests.

Facebook's operating company is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. For residents outside of the United States or Canada, the data controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call made to one of the individual pages of our website, and in which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) has been integrated, the web browser in the user's information technology system is automatically prompted to download the display of the corresponding Facebook component via Facebook itself.

An overview of all Facebook plugins can be seen in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook collects information about which specific page of our website was visited by the user.

If you are logged in to Facebook when you visit our website, all data on your (data subject's) connections to our website, time spent on your visit and pages visited will be sent to Facebook. Facebook uses its own tools for the collection of this data, which are also linked to the user's respective Facebook account.

If you click on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if you submit a comment, Facebook will match this information to your personal user account and store the personal data.

Facebook will continuously receive, through its tools, information about your visits to the website, as long as you are logged in to Facebook during the period of your visit.

This process will occur regardless of whether the user clicks on the Facebook icon or not. If such transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, you can prevent the sending of this information by logging out of your Facebook account before visiting the website.

The data protection policy published by Facebook, available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, the configuration options offered by Facebook to protect data privacy are explained. In addition, various configuration options are available to enable the deletion of data transmission to Facebook. These measures can be used by the data subject to delete the transmission of data to Facebook.

Data protection information on the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On our website, we have integrated the Google Analytics component (with the anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the process of collecting and analyzing data about the behavior of website visitors.

A web analytics service collects and reconciles data about the website from which a user arrived (the so-called referrer), which pages were visited or how often and for how long a page was viewed.

Web analytics is primarily used for website optimization and to perform a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

For European residents, the data controller is Google's Irish subsidiary, located in Ireland, Dublin at Gordon House Barrow St Dublin 4 Ireland.

For web analytics via Google Analytics, the data controller uses the "_gat" app. _anonymizeIp." By means of this application, the IP address of the user's Internet connection is abbreviated by Google and anonymized when accessing the website from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on the website.

Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to evaluate your use of the website and to provide you with online reports showing activities on the website as well as to provide other services relating to your use of the website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above.

By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. With each connection made to one of the pages of this website, operated by the data controller and in which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser in the user's information technology system will automatically send the data via the Google Analytics tool for the purposes of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google.

During the course of this technical procedure, Google acquires knowledge of personal information, such as the user's IP address, which is used by Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and, consequently, to create commission agreements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which the access was made and the frequency of visits to the website by the user. Each time you visit the website, this personal data, including the IP address used by you, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America.

Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The user may, as already mentioned, prevent the setting of cookies on the website at any time by means of the corresponding setting in the browser they use and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the browser used will also prevent Google Analytics from placing a cookie on the user's information technology system. In addition, cookies that are already in use by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the browser or through other programs.

The user has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics in connection with the use of the website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download a browser add-on from the https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout link and install it. The browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that any data and information about visits to web pages cannot be transmitted to Google Analytics. Installing the browser add-on is considered an objection to Google. If the user's information technology system is subsequently formatted or reinstalled, the user must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics again. If the browser add-on has been uninstalled or disabled by you or any other person who is attributable to your sphere of competence, you can perform the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and Google's applicable data protection methods can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/pt-BR/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html . Google Analytics is explained in the following link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6 (1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing operations to which the user has consented. 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, where the processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing shall be authorised on the basis of Article 6(1), b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures, e.g. in the case of enquiries concerning products or services.

Our company is subject to a legal obligation whereby the processing of personal data is necessary, e.g. for the fulfilment of tax obligations, processing based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor was injured in the company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be transmitted to a doctor, hospital or other. This action and its processing would be based on art. 6 (1) lit. of the GDPR.

Finally, data processing operations may be based on Article 6(1) of the GDPR Code. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal grounds, if the processing is necessary for the legitimate purposes pursued by the entity or by a third party, unless those interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It is considered to be an assumed legitimate interest if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47(2) GDPR).

Legitimate interests in the company and third parties

Based on Article 6(1) of the GDPR, the legitimate interest is to conduct business, both current and future, for the well-being of all its employees and shareholders.

Period of storage of personal data

The criterion used to determine the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the end of this period, the corresponding data is deleted, insofar as it is not necessary for the initiation or fulfilment of the contract.

Examples:

• ● Provision of personal data as a mandatory or contractual requirement;
• ● Necessary requirement to enter into a contract;
• ● Obligation of the data subject to provide personal data.

Please clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual clauses (e.g. information about the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to finalise a contract, it may be necessary for you to provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by our company.

You (or our customer) are, for example, required to provide personal data when we sign a contract with you.

Failure to provide personal data will result in the non-conclusion of the contract. Before the personal data is provided by the user, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee shall clarify to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or whether it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of failure to provide data for the performance of the contract.

Automated decision-makers

As a controller, we do not use automated decision-makers or automated profiling.

Changes to this statement

From time to time, we will update this Privacy Policy in light of company and customer feedback. We encourage you to periodically review this statement so that you are updated on how our company protects your information.
