Data privacy statement

Data Protection

Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in our enterprise. Data protection enjoys very high priority for the management of IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH. You can generally use the website of IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH without submitting any personal data whatsoever. However, if the data subject wishes to take advantage of special services via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data for this purpose. If it is necessary to process personal data and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, always occurs in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, and in compliance with the country specific data protection provisions applicable to IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH. With this Privacy Policy, our enterprise would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects will be informed of their rights via this privacy policy.

IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH as the processing controller has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. In spite of this, however, security loopholes are always possible in Internet-based transfers of data, so that we cannot guarantee total protection of the same. For this reason, any data subject is free to transfer personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by telephone.

 

  1. Definitions

  • f) Pseudonymisation

“Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner 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 to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g) Controller or processing controller

However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

  • j) Third party

‘Third party’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

  1. Gathering of personal data and information

The website of IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH collects a range of general data and information with every access to the website by a data subject or an automated system. Said general data and information is stored by the EV Group in the log files of our server. We may collect (1) the type of browser and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from where an accessing system has come across our website (so called referrer), (4) the sub pages accessed on our website via the accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Website: protocol, record – (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information utilised to fend off danger in the case of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH does not draw conclusions on the identity of the data subject. This information is in fact required (1) to correctly display the content of our website, (2) to optimise the content as well as the advertising relating to the website, (3) to guarantee the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website and (4) to provide prosecution authorities with the information necessary for the prosecution in case of a cyber attack. This data and information is collected anonymously by IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH for statistical purposes and also processed in order to improve data protection and security in our company with the aim of providing an ideal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data submitted by a data subject.

 

  1. Registration on our website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the processing controlling, stating their personal data. Which personal data are transferred to the processing controller in doing so, is laid down by the relevant input screen which is used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject, will exclusively be collected and stored for internal use by the processing controller, and for their own purposes. The processing controller can initiate disclosure to one or several processors, for example a package service provider, who will also exclusively use the personal data for internally purposes, which are to be attributed to the processing controller.

By registering on the website of the processing controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet-Service-Provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and time of registration will also be stored. These data are stored in light of the fact, that only in this way can abuse of our services be prevented, and if required, these data allow crimes committed to be solved. Thus the storage of such data is required for the legal protection of the processing controller. This data will not be disclosed to third parties, unless a legal obligation to disclosure exists or disclosure serves law enforcement purposes.

The registration of the data subject, with voluntary statement of personal data serves the processing controller to offer the data subject content or services which can only be offered to registered users, due to the nature of the matter. Registered persons have the possibility to change the personal data stated on registration at any time, or have it completely erased from the database of the processing controller.

The processing controller issues every data subject with information about the personal data stored about the data subject, at any time, on request. Furthermore, the processing controller rectifies or erases the personal data at the request or information of the data subject, unless legal storage obligations prevent this. A Data Protection Officer mentioned by name in this privacy policy, and all of the employees of the processing controller are available to the data subject as contacts in this context.

 

  1. Establish Contact options via the website

Due to legal provisions, the website of IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH comprises details allowing for fast electronic contacting, which also comprises a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the processing controller via e-mail or a contact form, the personal data transferred by the data subject will automatically be stored. Such personal data transferred to the processing controller on a voluntary basis, will be stored for purposes of processing, or to contact the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

 

  1. Erasure and blocking of personal data

The processing controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period required to achieve the purpose of storage, or if this is provided for by the European guidelines and regulator or another legislator in laws or rules, which the processing controller is subject to.

If the purpose of storage is inapplicable or a storage period specified by the European guidelines and regulator or another legislator elapses, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased according to the legal regulations.

The Data Protection Officer of IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH or another employee will arrange for the erasure process to be complied with immediately.

If IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH has made any personal data public and our enterprise, as controller acc. to Art. 17 (1) DS – GDPR, is obliged to erase the personal data, IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH will take adequate measures, also of a technical kind, taking into account the technology available and the implementation costs, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject requested such other controllers to erase all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data, unless processing is required.

  • The data subject has objected to any processing acc. to Art. 21 (1) DS – GDPR and it has not yet been established whether our legitimate grounds outweigh those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject would like to demand the restriction of personal data that is saved by IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH, they can contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the processing controller about this at any time. The Data Protection Officer of IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH or another employee will arrange the restriction of processing.

  • f) Right to Data Portability

Each person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the issuers of European guidelines and regulators, to receive the relevant personal data, which has been provided to the controller by the data subject, in a structured, current and machine readable format.

If IGK Isolierglasklebstoffe GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, then the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data for the purposes of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling, if it is connected to such direct marketing.

  1. Data protection in applications and in the application process

The processing controller collects and processes personal data of applicants for the purposes of managing the application process. Processing can also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant transfers such application documents to the processing controller electronically, for example by e-mail or a web form on the website. If the processing controller enters into an employment contract with the user, the data transferred will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship observing the applicable legal provisions. If the processing controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically erased two months after announcement of the rejection decision, unless an erasure prejudices other legitimate interests of the processing controller. Other legitimate interests in this context shall include, for example, burden of proof in a process under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

  1. Legal bases of the processing

Art. 6(1) Point I(a) DS – GDPR serves our enterprise as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is a necessity for the performance of a contract, to which the data subject is party, as is the case in processing operations for example, which is a necessity for the delivery of goods or the provision of such a service or return service, then the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies for such processing operations in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract, such as in the case of queries about our products or services. If our enterprise is subject to a legal obligation, whereby the processing of personal data is a necessity, for example to fulfil tax obligations, then the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case for example, if a visitor was to be injured in our operation and as a result his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information have to be transferred to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I point. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I point f GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations, that are not encompassed by any of the aforementioned legal bases if processing is a necessity to safeguard the legitimate interest of our enterprise, if the interests, basic rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permitted, because they are specifically mentioned by the European legislator. Thus, they are of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed, if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

  1. Legitimate interests in processing, which are followed by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 I point f GDPR, our legitimate interest is carrying out our business activities in favour of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

  1. Duration for which personal data are stored

The criteria for the duration of storage of personal data is the relevant legal storage period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely erased, unless they are still required for the contract performance.

  1. Statutory or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessary to enter into a contract, obligation of data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We make you aware that the provision of personal data is sometimes a statutory requirement (e.g. tax regulations) or can arise from contractual regulations (e.g. Details about the contractual partner). Sometimes, it can be necessary for a data subject to provide personal data to enter into a contract, which as a result must be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our enterprise enters into a contract with them. If the personal data are not provided, this has the consequence that the contract cannot be entered into with the data subject. Before provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer explains to the data subject in relation to the individual case, whether the provision of data is a statutory or contractual requirement or necessary to enter into a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, and what the consequences of not providing personal data would be.

  1. Existence of automated decision-making

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