On this website, we, Aalberts Surface Treatment GmbH, inform you about our services. The protection of your personal data during the operation of this website is, of course, of the utmost importance. With this statement, we inform you about how your personal data is processed when you visit this website.
The operation of this website is supported by an external service provider, whom we have carefully selected and contracted to comply with the data protection provisions via a data processing contract in accordance with Art. 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
In addition, your browser transmits access data, so-called server log files, which we process each time you visit the website in order to be able to display the website to you. In particular, the time of your visit, the page from which you visit us (referrer URL), the subpages visited, your IP address, the data volume and the browser you use are transmitted to us. This data is required to ensure system security; we delete it after 3 days at the latest. The use is of legitimate interest to us (Art. 6. 1. (f) EU GDPR).
You can contact us using the contact form provided on our website. If you do this, you must provide your first and last name, e-mail address and telephone number as well as your place of residence (postcode and city) and the country. You can also voluntarily indicate your company in the message area and write your query.
We process the personal data you provide and your message to us exclusively in order to process your enquiry as effectively as possible. We need all of the information requested to ensure that we can answer your request as best we can and protect ourselves from automatically generated requests ("robots"). We delete all or part of your data manually as soon as your enquiry is completed and there are no legal storage obligations, e.g. in the case of tax-relevant data that we have to store for 10 years. In general, we check every 2 years whether existing information is still required or can be deleted. All this is in our overriding, legitimate interest (Art. 6. 1. (f) EU GDPR).
If you have given your consent, we will also use your data to send you a feedback questionnaire two weeks after your request in order to ask you whether our answer helped you and what your experiences with our contact form were (Art. 6. 1. (a) EU GDPR). You can, of course, withdraw your consent at any time and without charge, as described below.
We do not pass your data on to third parties, unless it is absolutely necessary for the processing of your request.
Through our website, you can click on various social media tools and view our information there or exchange information about our services with other users. These are YouTube, Facebook, Xing and Kununu. You can recognise these offers by the respective icons.
All of these references are deactivated links, i.e. no data will be transmitted by you to the respective providers as long as you do not click on the links. If you click on the links, your data will be transmitted to the respective provider, in particular, the page from which you were linked. This also applies if you do not have your own account with the respective provider or are not logged in.
We have no control over what personal data these third parties collect and how they handle it. Neither are we aware of this. Please note that some of these providers are based outside the EU and your data are therefore likely to be transferred to third countries for which an adequate level of data protection is not necessarily guaranteed. Further information on the handling of your data can be obtained from the respective third-party providers.
Through social media links, we enable you to receive even more attractive offers from us on other channels and to communicate directly with these offers and their users. We design our website so that it is more attractive and interesting for you. The embedding of social media links is therefore in our overriding, legitimate corporate interest (Art. 6. 1. (f) EU GDPR). By actively clicking you can decide for yourself whether your personal data is transferred to the third party providers.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that a personal reference can be prevented. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately eliminated and the personal data is thus immediately deleted.
We use Google Analytics in order to be able to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The collected statistics allow us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The storage period for data is 38 months.
We only use Google Analytics after your express consent by confirming on the banner displayed during your visit (Art. 6. 1. (a) EU GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary. You can also use the website without Google Analytics. You can withdraw your consent at any time and prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking [HERE].
In order to protect your personal data in the best possible way, we use TLS encryption (https standard) technical and organisational security measures, which are correspondingly adapted to the latest technological developments in terms of risk.
If personal data relating to you as a natural person is used, you are entitled to various data protection claims against us. In accordance with § 34 BDSG, Art. 15 EU GDPR, you have the right to information about your stored personal data and its origin, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom data are passed on, and the purpose of storage.
In addition, if applicable, in accordance with § 35 BDSG, Art. 16 - 18 EU GDPR, you are entitled to have your personal data corrected, deleted or restricted (from processing). Furthermore, according to Art. 20 of the EU GDPR, you can request the transfer of data to another responsible body, e.g. to a new employer.
In addition, you can object to the further processing of your data for a specific reason if we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6. 1. (f) EU GDPR). In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data upon receipt during the subsequent verification and - in the event of a justified objection - delete it after completion of the verification (§ 36 BDSG, Art. 21 EU GDPR). You can withdraw your submitted consent to data processing at any time; we will then no longer process your personal data unless we have legal permission to do so. An objection or revocation does not affect the permissibility of data processing in the past.
Finally, according to Art. 77 of the EU GDPR, you have the right to complain to the competent data protection authority.
We will immediately honour your rights without charge. Please contact us or our data protection officer; you will find our contact details at the beginning of this data protection declaration.
