Document:
Our company has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures in order to ensure that any personal data processed is protected as comprehensively as possible. Web-based data transmission may, however, possibly contain security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
A person concerned or affected person is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for the processing.
Processing is any procedure carried out with or without the aid of automated methods, or any such sequence of procedures in connection with personal data, such as the gathering, recording, organising, ordering, storage, adaptation or amendment of data, the reading out of it, querying of it, use, disclosure of it by way of transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, the comparison or linking of it, or the limitation, deletion or destruction of it.
Profiling means any kind of automated processing of personal data where such personal data is used to assess certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular in order to analyse or predict aspects in regard to work performance, economic position, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, place of residence or change of location of such natural person.
Pseudonymisation means processing personal data in the case where the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific person concerned without drawing upon additional information. Such additional information that is subject to the technical and organisational measures is stored separately, and it is thus guaranteed that the personal data cannot be allocated to an identified or identifiable natural person.
The party responsible, or the party responsible for processing the information, is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which decides, either alone or together with others, for the purpose and means of processing personal data.
A contract data processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the party responsible.
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the person concerned, the responsible party, the contract data processor and the persons who are authorised, under the direct responsibility of the party responsible or the contract data processor, to process the personal data.
Every time the website is accessed by a particular person or an automated system, the web server of EFAFLEX Tor- und Sicherheitssysteme GmbH & Co. KG gathers a range of pieces of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The browser types and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system reaches our website, the sub-pages of the website which are accessed on our website via an accessing system, the date and time of any access to the website, an Internet protocol address (IP address), the Internet Service Provider of the accessing system and any other similar data and information which serves to fend off risk in the event of our IT systems being attacked may be gathered.
When using such general data and information, EFAFLEX Tor- und Sicherheitssysteme GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions concerning the person concerned. Rather, such information is needed in order to deliver the content of our website correctly, optimise the content of our website, as well as the advertising for it, guarantee the ongoing functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Such data and information gathered anonymously is therefore evaluated by EFAFLEX Tor- und Sicherheitssysteme GmbH & Co. KG on the one hand statistically, and also with the aim of increasing data privacy and data security at our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from any personal data given by a person concerned.
Based on statutory regulations, our company’s website contains details which make it possible to make fast contact with our company electronically, as well as enable direct communication with us, which likewise comprises a general e-mail address. Should a person concerned take up contact with the party responsible for the processing via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the person concerned will automatically be saved. Such personal data transmitted to the person responsible for the processing by a person concerned on a voluntary basis is saved for the purposes of processing the request or taking up contact with the person concerned. Such personal data is not passed on to third parties.
The party responsible for the processing only processes and stores personal data of the person concerned for the period of time which is necessary in order to achieve the purpose of the processing, or in so far as the latter has been stipulated in laws or regulations forming the basis for the processing by the party responsible by the legislative authority. Should the purpose of such storage lapse, or should a storage period prescribed by the legislative authority expire, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted, in line with the statutory regulations.
Every person concerned is entitled to request from the person responsible for the processing a confirmation on whether personal details concerning him or her are processed. Should a person concerned wish to lay claim to this right of confirmation, he or she may contact our Data Privacy Officer or any other employee of the party responsible for the processing for that purpose.
meaningful information on the logic involved, as well as the reach, and the effects of such processing aimed for, for the person concerned.
The person concerned moreover has a right to information on whether personal data has been transmitted to a non-EU country or an international organisation. Should this be the case, the person concerned shall also be entitled to receive information on the appropriate warranties in connection with the transmission.
General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR), and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
the processing, or the person concerned is filing an opposition against the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR).
Should the personal data have been published by our company, and should our company, as the party responsible pursuant to Art. 17(1) General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR), be obliged to delete said personal data, our company shall, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, take appropriate steps, also of a technical nature, to inform other parties responsible for the data processing, who process the published personal data, that the person concerned has requested from such other parties responsible for processing the data that all links to said personal data or copies or replications of such personal data be deleted, provided that the processing is not necessary. The Data Privacy Officer will arrange for whatever is necessary in the individual case.
established whether the justified grounds of the party responsible outweigh those of the affected person.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data is entitled to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which has been provided to a party responsible by the affected person, in a structured, up-to-date and machine-readable format. He or she additionally has the right to transmit such data to a different party responsible, without being hindered by the party responsible, to which or whom the personal data has been provided, as long as the processing is based on the consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) or Art. 9(2)(a) General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) or an agreement pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR), and the processing is undertaken with the aid of automated procedures, as long as the processing is not necessary in order to complete a task that is in the public interest or completed to exercise official authority that has been conferred upon the party responsible.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right not to be subjected to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - which develops legal validity in regard to him or her or affects him or her considerably in a similar way, as long as the decision is not required for concluding or fulfilling an agreement between the person concerned and the party responsible, or admissible based on legislation of the Union or the Member States, to which the party responsible is subject, with such legislation containing appropriate steps to preserve the rights and freedoms, as well as the justified interests of the person concerned, or effected with the express consent of the person concerned.
Should the decision regarding the conclusion or fulfilment of an agreement between the person concerned and the party responsible be required, or should it be taken with the express consent of the person concerned, our company will take appropriate steps to preserve the rights and freedoms of the person concerned, as well as his or her justified interests, which at least includes the right to arrange for the intervention of a person on the part of the party responsible, the right to explain one’s own position and the right to contest the decision.
The party responsible for the processing gathers and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of executing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is in particular the case if an applicant transmits corresponding application documents to our company electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form to be found on the website. Should our company conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be saved for the purpose of handling the employment relationship, adhering to the statutory regulations. Should no employment contract with the applicant be concluded by our company, the application documents will automatically be deleted six months after announcing the decision to turn down the application, unless such deletion is in conflict with any justified interests on the part of the party responsible for the processing. A justified interest, in this sense, may, for example, be an obligation to provide evidence in any proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
are usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We have also extended the code "anonymizeIP" on this website to Google Analytics. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases, will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website.
In addition, you may prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We continue to use Google Analytics to analyze data from Double-Click and AdWords for statistical purposes. If you do not want to do this, you can disable it through the Ads Preferences Manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=en).
The data controller has integrated Google Ads into this website. Google Ads is a service for internet advertising which allows advertisers to place adverts in Google search engine results and also in the Google advertising network. Google Ads enables an advertiser to pre-determine keywords by which an advert is only displayed in Google’s search engine results if the user retrieves a search engine result which includes a relevant keyword. In the Google advertising network, adverts are distributed on thematically relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in consideration of pre-determined keywords.
The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Ads is to advertise our website by inserting interest-related advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and an inclusion of outside advertising on our website.
If our website is accessed by a data subject via a Google advert, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the IT system of the data subject by Google. The definition of cookies is provided above. A conversion cookie loses validity after thirty days and cannot be used to identify the data subject. By means of the conversion cookie, provided that it has not yet expired, it can be determined whether specific sub-pages, for example the shopping basket in an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. With the conversion cookie, we and Google can determine whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an Ads advertisement has generated revenue, i.e. has completed or cancelled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visitor statistics for our website. We in turn use these visitor statistics to establish the total number of users that access us via Ads advertisements, and to thus establish the success or lack of success of the respective Ads advertisement and to optimise our future Ads advertisements. Neither our company nor other advertising clients of Google Ads receive information from Google which could enable identification of the data subject.
By means of the conversion cookie, personal data is stored, for example the websites visited by the data subject. Every time our website is accessed, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the USA. These personal data will be stored by Google in the USA. Google may transfer these personal data collected by way of this technical process to third parties.
As explained above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time with the appropriate settings on his or her web browser, and therefore object to the setting of cookies on a permanent basis. Adjusting the settings of the internet browser in this way also prevents Google from setting a conversion cookie in the data subject’s IT system. Moreover, the data subject may at any time delete a cookie which has already been set by Google Ads using the internet browser or another software programme.
Additionally, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-related advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads via each internet browser he or she uses to adjust the settings accordingly.
Further information and Google’s applicable data protection policy is available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
The data controller has integrated components of YouTube into this website. YouTube is an online video portal where video publishers can publish videos free of charge, and where other users can watch, rate, and comment on these, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why both complete films and television shows, but also music videos, trailers or videos created by the users themselves can be accessed via the online portal.
The operator of YouTube is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For each visit to one of the individual pages of this website which is operated by the data controller and into which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject will be automatically prompted by the corresponding YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube is available at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google are made aware of the specific sub-page of our website which the data subject has visited.
If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube will recognise which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting if a sub-page containing a YouTube video is accessed. This information will be collected by YouTube and Google and matched with the corresponding YouTube account of the data subject.
Via the YouTube component, YouTube and Google always receive notification of any visit made to our website by the data subject if the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube when he or she accesses our website; this occurs irrespective of whether the data subject clicks on the YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want information to be transferred to YouTube and Google in this way, he or she can prevent this transfer by logging out of their YouTube account before he or she accesses our website.
Our website uses functions of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Upon accessing our websites containing a Facebook plug-in, a connection is established between your browser and the Facebook servers. This already involves a transfer of data to Facebook. If you have a Facebook account, these data can be linked to it. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our website. Interactions, including but not limited to using a comment feature or clicking on a “Like” or “Share” button, are also forwarded to Facebook. For more information, please visit https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.
The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook into this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is a place for social meetings on the internet; an online community which generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enable the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows the users of its social network to create private profiles, to upload photos, and to network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside of the United States of America or Canada, the data controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
For each visit to one of the websites which is operated by the data controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject will be automatically prompted by the corresponding Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all the Facebook plug-ins is available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of the specific sub-page of our website that was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, every time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, Facebook is able to see which specific sub-pages of our website the data subject is visiting. This information will be collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons that have been integrated into our website such as the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook will match this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and store these personal data.
Via the Facebook component, Facebook will always receive notification of any visit made to our website by the data subject if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook when he or she accesses our website; this will occur regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such a transfer of information to Facebook to take place, he or she may prevent this transfer by logging out of their Facebook account before he or she accesses our website.
The data protection guidelines published by Facebook, which are available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. They also provide information on the setting options that Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Furthermore, several applications are available that allow the suppressing of a data transfer to Facebook, for example the Facebook blocker by the provider Eyeo GmbH which can be downloaded at https://adblockplus.org/de. These applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data from being transferred to Facebook.

The data controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation into this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network enabling connection of users with existing business contacts and establishing new business contacts. Over 400 million registered persons in more than 200 countries are using LinkedIn. Thus, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites world-wide.
Each time our website receives an access request which is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), the component prompts the browser used by the data subject to download a display of this component from LinkedIn. More information on the LinkedIn plug-ins is available at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn is made aware of the specific sub-page of our website that was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into LinkedIn at the same time, every time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our website, LinkedIn is able to see which specific sub-pages of our website the data subject is visiting. This information will be collected by the LinkedIn component and associated with the corresponding LinkedIn account of the data subject by LinkedIn. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons that have been integrated into our website, LinkedIn will attribute this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and store these personal data.
Via the LinkedIn component, LinkedIn will always receive notification of any visit made to our website by the data subject if the data subject is simultaneously logged into LinkedIn when he or she accesses our website; this will occur regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If the data subject does not want such a transfer of information to LinkedIn to take place, he or she may prevent this transfer by logging out of his or her LinkedIn account before he or she accesses our website.
