We, AP Industriemontage, take the protection of your personal data very seriously and therefore comply with the statutory provisions on data protection (GDPR).
This data protection declaration informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data within our online offer and associated websites, functions, and content (hereinafter jointly referred to as “online offer” or “website”). The data protection declaration is applicable regardless of the domains, systems, platforms and devices (for example, desktop or mobile) on which the online offer is running.
Due to changes in legal requirements and technical development, it is necessary to adapt the data protection declaration from time to time. Therefore, we ask you to read the content of our data protection declaration again at regular intervals.
We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g. consent) or other individual notification.
We process personal data of the user only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that the data of users will be processed only when there is legal permission. That is, especially if the data processing is necessary for the provision of our services within the scope of the agreement (e.g. processing of orders) as well as online services required by law; the informed consent of the user present as well as due to our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation and security of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6, para 1 (f) of the GDPR), particularly for range measurement, creation of profiles for advertising and marketing purposes, collection of access data, and use of third-party providers.
‘Personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter ‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. Cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
“Processing” means any process performed with or without the aid of automated procedures or any such process associated with personal data.. The term extends far and covers virtually each and every usage of data.
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal bases of our data processing. Unless the legal basis is stated in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para 1 (a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing in order to fulfil our services and to carry out contractual measures and to respond to requests is Art. 6 para 1 (b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the fulfilment of our legal obligations is Art. 6 para 1 (c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6 para 1 (f) GDPR. Art. 6 para. 1 (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis if the vital interests of the data subject or any other natural person require the processing of personal data.
We take organizational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art in order to protect personal data adequately against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, modification and disclosure and to comply with the provisions of data protection laws. These security measures include firewalls, the encrypted transfer of data between your browser and our server and the use of authorization controls.
However, you are responsible for the security and confidentiality of your passwords and registration information. We are not liable for the protection of personal data which we pass on to third parties on the basis of an account link authorized by you.
If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) within the scope of our processing, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6 para.1 (b) GDPR is required for contract fulfilment), if you have consented, if a legal obligation intends this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.). If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called “order data processing agreement”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only takes place if it occurs for the fulfilment of our (pre) contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or let the data be processed in a third country only in the presence of the special specifications of Art. 44 et seq. DGPR. This means, for example, processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA by the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
We process inventory data (e.g., names and addresses as well as contact data of users) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR as well as for customer care, marketing, advertising and market research..
When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail, telephone, appointment request or via social media), the user’s details will be processed for processing the contact request and its handling in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR. User information may be stored in our Customer Relationship Management System (“CRM System”) or comparable request organization.
We delete these requests, if these are no longer necessary and in compliance with the legal archiving obligations. The necessity check is carried out regularly every two years.
The hosting services used by us serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services, and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offer.
In doing so, we and/or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta-and communication data of customers, prospects and visitors to this online offer based on our legitimate interests in making this online offer available in an efficient and secure manner in accordance with Art. 6 para 1 (f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of order data processing agreement).
We or our hosting provider collect data on each access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. Access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, transferred data volume, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
Log file information is stored for a maximum of seven days for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
“Cookies” are small files that are stored on users ‘ computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store the information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his visit within an online offer. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies” are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser. In such a cookie, for example, the content of a shopping cart can be stored in an online shop or a login status. The term “permanent” or “persistent” refers to cookies that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. Thus, the login status can be saved even if users visit it after several days. Similarly, the interests of users who are used for range measurement or marketing purposes can be stored in such a cookie. “Third-party Cookie” refer to cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for providing the online offer (otherwise it’s called “First-Party Cookies” if it’s just their cookies).
We may use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our data protection declaration.
A general contradiction against the use of the cookies used for the purposes of online marketing can be explained in a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by turning them off in the settings of the browser. Please note that you may not be able to use all the functions of this online offer.
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield certification and provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage. In this process, pseudonyms of user profiles can be created from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted in exceptional cases to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
Please refer to Google’s data protection declaration and settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated) to know more about Google’s data usage, settings and opt-out options (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads). The personal data of users is deleted or anonymized after 14 months.
Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of EU are also respected while processing data in the USA.
In order to enable the displaying of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of our website.
Google can determine from which website your request has been sent and to which IP address the display of the font has to be transferred through the connection established with Google when our website is accessed.
Google provides more information and particularly about the possibilities of prevention of data usage.
Within our online offer and on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6, para 1, (f) GDPR), we use content or service offerings from third-party providers to embed their content and services such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to uniformly as “content”). This always requires that the third-party providers of the content learn the IP address of the user, because the content cannot be sent to the browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We only endeavour to use such content, whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Furthermore, third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “Web beacons”) for statistical and marketing purposes. The information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated with pixel tags. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the device of the user and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offer; the information can also be connected with other information from other sources.
In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request the completion of the data concerning you or the correction of inaccurate data concerning you.
In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to demand that the data concerned be deleted immediately or, alternatively, to demand a restriction on the processing of the data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.
You have the right to revoke consent granted in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR with effect for the future.
The data processed by us will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations. If the data is not deleted because they are necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.
In accordance with statutory requirements in Germany, the records shall be kept in particular for 6 years in accordance with § 257 (1) HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with § 147 (1) AO (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant to taxation, etc.).
We maintain online presence within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the active customers, interested parties and users and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the data processing guidelines apply to their respective operators.
Unless otherwise stated in the context of our data protection declaration, we process the data of the users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write articles on our online platforms or send us messages.
