Beuck Metrology respects your private sphere

The protection of your private sphere during the processing of personal data as well as the security of all business data is a major concern for us that we take into consideration in our business processes. We process personal data, collected during your visit to our online offers confidentially and only in accordance with the legal directives.
Data protection and information security are an integral part of our corporate policy.

Processing of personal data

Processed data categories

Communication data (e.g. name, telephone number, e-mail address, address, IP address) are processed.

Processing principles

Personal data are all the information which relate to an identified or identifiable natural person, for example, names, addresses, telephone numbers or e-mail addresses which are the expression of the identity of a person.
We process personal data only when there is a statutory legal basis for doing so or if you have given us your consent, e.g. in the scope of a registration.

Processing purposes and legal bases

Our delegated service providers and we process your personal data for the following objectives:

• Provision of this online offer
• In reply to user inquiries in the framework of a contact form
• Determination of malfunctions and for safety reasons
• Our own and third party advertising as well as market research and reach measurement in accordance with the legally permissible extent resp. consent-based
• Safeguarding and defending our rights

Log files

Whenever you use the Internet, specific information will be automatically transmitted from your Internet browser and stored by us in so-called log files.
We save the log files for the determination of malfunction and for safety reasons (e.g. for the investigation of attempted attacks) for a short period and delete them afterwards. If a further retention of log files is required for evidence purposes, these will be exempted from deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident and can be handed over to investigating authorities in individual cases.
Log files are (without or without the complete IP address) under the prerequisites of previous information "Our own and third party advertising as well as market research and reach measurement in accordance with the legally permissible extent resp. consent-based" also used for analytical purposes.
The following information, in particular, is stored in the log files:

• IP address (Internet protocol address) of the end device from which the online offer is accessed;
• Internet address of the website from where the online offer has been accessed (so-called origin or referrer URL);
• Name of the service provider through which access to the online offer is achieved;

• Transferred data volume;
• Operating system and information on the Internet browser used, including add-ons (e.g. for the flash player);
• http status code (e.g. "Inquiry successful" or "Requested file not found").

Transfer of data

We will principally only transfer your personal data to other responsible parties insofar as if this is necessary for the contract performance, we or the third party has a predominantly justified interest in the transfer or if you have given your consent. You will find details concerning the legal bases in section "Processing purposes and legal bases". Third parties can also be other companies in the Beuck Metrology Group. It will be explained in this data protection policy if data are transferred on the basis of a predominantly justified concern.
Moreover, data can also be transferred to other responsible parties, insofar as we are obligated to do this on the basis of statutory regulations or due to enforceable official or judicial order.
We assign tasks such as marketing services, programming, data hosting and hotline services to external service providers. We have selected these service providers with utmost care and monitor them on a regular basis, in particular with regard to their diligent handling and protection of the data stored by them. All providers are bound to confidentiality and adherence to the legal specifications by us. Service providers can also be other companies in Beuck Metrology.
We might transfer personal data to recipients located outside the EEA into so-called third countries. In such cases, prior to the transfer we ensure that either the data recipient provides an appropriate level of data protection or that you have consented to the transfer. You are entitled to receive an overview of third country recipients and a copy of the specifically agreed-provisions securing an appropriate level of data protection.
On principle, we store your data for as long as it takes for the provision of our online offer and the associated services or when we have a justified interest in further storage (e.g. after the fulfilment of a contract, we could still have a justified interest in postal marketing). In all other cases, we will delete your personal data with the exception of such data that we are obliged to retain for the fulfilment of legal obligations (e.g. as a result of fiscal and commercial retention periods, we are obliged to retain documents such as contracts and invoices for a specific period of time).

Social plugins

In our online offer, we use so-called social plugins of different social networks; these will be described individually in this section.

On application of the plugins, your Internet browser will establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. Hereby the relevant provider obtains the information that your Internet browser has called up the corresponding page of our online offer, even if you do not possess a user account with the provider or are not currently logged in with the provider. Log files (including the IP address) are directly transmitted from your Internet browser to a server of the relevant provider where they are stored if necessary. The headquarters of the provider or his/her server could be located outside the EU or the EEA (e.g. in the USA).

The plugins are independent extensions of the providers of social networks. Therefore, we have no influence on the extent of the data collected and stored by the social network providers via the plugins.

The purpose and extent of the collection, the further processing of the data by the social network as well as your associated rights and setting options for the protection of your private sphere can be taken from the data protection policy of the respective social network.

You should not use the respective plugins if you do not want social network providers to obtain data concerning this online offer or to continue to use this data.

External links

Our online offer can contain links to the websites of third parties - to providers who are not affiliated with us. After you click the link, we no longer have any influence on the collection, processing and utilization of any personal data that is transferred to third parties after clicking the link (for example, the IP address or the URL of the site on which the link is located), as our control of the conduct of third parties is then naturally withdrawn. We assume no responsibility for the processing of this kind of personal data by third parties.

Security

Our staff and our delegated service provider companies are obliged to maintain secrecy and to adhere to the regulations of the applicable data protection laws.

We take all necessary technical and organizational measures in order to ensure an appropriate standard of protection and to protect your data that are administered by us especially from the risks of unintentional or unlawful destruction, manipulation, loss, alteration or unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized access. Our security measures are continually improved according to the technological development.

User rights

Please ensure that an unambiguous identification of your person is possible.

You have the right to obtain information from us concerning the processing of your data. For this purpose, you can enforce a right to information in relation to the personal information that we process from you.

Right of rectification and deletion

You can demand from us the rectification of false data and - insofar as the legal prerequisites are fulfilled - the completion or deletion of your data.

This does not apply to data which are necessary for invoicing or accounting purposes or are subject to the statutory retention obligation. Insofar as the access to such data is not required, the processing thereof will be restricted (see below).

Restriction of processing

You can demand from us the restriction of the processing of your data insofar as the legal prerequisites are fulfilled.

Data portability

You will continue to have the right to obtain data that you have provided to us transmitted in a structured, conventional and machine-readable form or as far as this is technically feasible, to demand that the data are transmitted to a third party.

Right of objection

Insofar as we undertake processing of data on the basis of a predominantly justified interest, as represented in this data protection policy, you have the right to file an objection to this processing, at any time, for reasons resulting from your special situation.

We will then discontinue the processing of your data, unless we can prove, in accordance with the statutory regulations, mandatory reasons worthy of protection for further processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and liberties, or if the further processing serves the assertion, exercising or defending of legal claims.

Furthermore, you can file an objection to the processing of your personal data for commercial purposes at any time ("objection to advertising"). Please take into consideration the fact that there could be an overlapping between your objection and the utilization of your data in the scope of an ongoing campaign.

Rights of revocation

If you have given us your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke this with future effect at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent, granted to us prior to the validity of the GDPR, therefore prior to 25. May 2018. The legality of the processing of your data shall remain unaffected unless revoked.

Right to appeal to the supervisory authority

You have the right to submit an appeal to a data protection supervisory authority. For this purpose, you can refer to the data protection supervisory authority, which is competent for your place of residence of federal state or to the data protection supervisory authority which is competent for our group.
