Data collection on this website
a) Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- IP address used
- Operating system used
- Browser used
- Time of access
- Websites you visit on our site
- Website from which you are visiting us (if transmitted)
- Host name of the accessing computer
This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and the optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
b) Contact form
The contact form is provided by Salzgitter AG, Eisenhüttenstraße 99, 38239 Salzgitter, Germany. Requests submitted via the form are forwarded to the relevant company within our group for processing. This is usually Peiner Träger GmbH, Gerhard-Lucas-Meyer-Str. 10, 31226 Peine, Germany.
If necessary for the proper and targeted processing of your request, your data may also be forwarded to other companies within our group. In each case, processing is carried out under the responsibility of the receiving company in accordance with data protection law.
The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective, collaborative, and specialized handling of group-wide inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). If consent has been requested, processing is also based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.
The data will not be passed on to other third parties outside the group of companies unless this is necessary to process your request or there is a legal obligation to do so. The data you enter in the contact form will be deleted as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed) and there are no legal obligations to retain it. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular commercial and tax law retention periods—remain unaffected.
c) Request by email or phone
If you contact us by email or telephone, your request, including all personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
Additional information can be found in the data protection information for business partners and interested parties.
d) Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., displaying stock prices). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted. You can revoke your cookie consent for this website at any time and adjust your cookie settings: Cookie consent / Cookie settings
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to law enforcement authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data.
When using processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Your rights as a data subject under the GDPR
a) Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
b) Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. 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 serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to art. 21 (2) GDPR).
c) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
d) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
e) Information, correction, and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time with any questions you may have on this topic or on the subject of personal data.
f) Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.>
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Consent to cookies / Cookie settings
Our website uses its own consent technology to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of certain technologies, and to document this in compliance with data protection requirements.
Consent technology stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents you have given or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the consent manager provider cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies.
