We are pleased to welcome you to our website and that you are interested in our company. It is important to us to protect your personal data. Personal data is all information relating to natural persons who are or can be identified on the basis of this information, whether personal or factual. The term personal data includes, for example, data such as surname, first name, address, telephone number, but nowadays the IP address is also considered personal data. We collect and process personal data on our website. This is subject to legal protection, which we adhere to. In the following points, we will provide you with information about data protection and tell you how we collect and process personal data. This processing is carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the Federal Data Protection Act 2018 and other national regulations.

DELETION / BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA

An important principle of the EU General Data Protection Regulation is data avoidance and data minimization. Our company adheres to these principles and we only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or in accordance with the statutory retention periods. Once a corresponding basis (contract, consent, legal regulation, etc.) no longer applies, we routinely delete or block this data.

SAFETY

EUROFLEX GmbH is aware of the importance of the security of the data it manages. We have therefore taken technical and organizational measures to protect the data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. These security measures are continuously updated in line with technological developments.

COLLECTION OF DATA WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE

When you visit our website, data is automatically collected by our server and the following data is stored in the log files of our system:

• Browser type and versioning
• Operating system used by the requestor
• IP address
• Date and time of the website request
• Domain name of the provider

Personal data will not be directly assigned to a specific user, which means that individual site visitors will not be identified. We collect this data based on our legitimate interest to further optimize the technology, to ensure the connection to our website, to ensure the availability of our web services and for other administrative purposes. If necessary, anonymized information is evaluated for statistical purposes, but this in turn does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about specific or identifiable persons.

(1) Contact form

You can contact us at any time using our contact form. In doing so, you give us your consent for the purpose of contacting you. A correct e-mail address or telephone number is required for this contact. Without this information, it is not possible for us to contact you. Further optional information may enable us to respond better to your request. If your request has been processed by us and there is no reason to continue processing this data, it will be deleted automatically.


(2) Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

(3) Cookies

So-called "cookies" are also used on our website. Cookies are text files that are transferred from our system to your hard disk. We automatically receive certain information through these cookies. This could be, for example, your IP address, the browser you use to access our website, your operating system and other data. Cookies are generally used to facilitate the use of the website for the user and to enable a perfect display of our services. Cookies cannot start programs or transmit viruses to your system. Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you as soon as cookies are sent. Once cookies have been set, you can delete them yourself at any time by calling up the corresponding menu item in your Internet browser or deleting the cookies on your hard disk. You can find details on this in the help menu of your Internet browser.



(4) Cookiebot

Our website uses Cookiebot's consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your end device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter "Cookiebot").

When you enter our website, a connection is established to the Cookiebot servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser to be able to assign the consents you have given or revoke them. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.



(5) SSL encryption of the website

To protect the transmission of your data, we use appropriate encryption on our website (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.



(6) HSTS - HTTP Strict Transport Security

HSTS is a security mechanism for HTTPS connections. The Bavarian data protection supervisory authority considers this security mechanism to be state of the art and we use this additional transmission security on our website to protect your data even more than normal HTTPS encryption.



(7) Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps API to display geographical information visually. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of the Maps functions by visitors to the website. You can find more information about data processing by Google in Google's privacy policy: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html 
There you can also change your settings in the data protection center so that you can manage and protect your data.

 

(8) Statuscake 

The website uses the Statuscake monitoring service from TrafficCake Limited, Third Floor, 12 East Passage, London, England, EC1A 7LP. This tool enables an analysis of the loading behavior and availability of our website and collects your IP address. Cookies are set for this purpose. You can prevent this by making the appropriate setting in your browser. You can find Statuscake's privacy policy here: https://www.statuscake.com/privacy-policy/

REQUEST BY E-MAIL, TELEPHONE OR FAX

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), 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 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
