We have compiled the following information to give you, as a “data subject”, an overview of our processing of your personal data and of your rights under data protection legislation. In principle, you can use our website without entering any personal data. However, if you wish to take advantage of special services from our company via our website, this may require personal data to be processed. If personal data must be processed and there is no legal basis for such processing, as a general rule we shall obtain your consent.
Personal data, such as your name, address or email address, are always processed in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Sita Bauelemente GmbH. Our aim with this Privacy Statement is to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the Controller for this processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. However, there is always the possibility of security gaps in the transmission of data over the internet, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone or by post.
You can get in touch with our Data Protection Officer directly at any time if you have any questions or suggestions relating to data protection.
This Privacy Statement applies the terminology that was used by the European body that issues directives and regulations at the time when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was adopted. Our Privacy Statement should be easy to read and understand, both for the general public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to begin by explaining the terminology used.
Personal data are any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 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 or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the party responsible for the processing (our company).
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication by the data subject of his or her wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is applied by our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent to processing for a specific purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party, as is the case for example with processing operations that are required to deliver goods or to provide some other service or counter-performance, then processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are required to implement pre-contractual measures, such as in the event of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfil tax obligations, then processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, it might be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor suffered an injury on our premises and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that situation, processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing could be performed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis underpins processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are allowed to carry out such processing operations notably because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it has taken the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
This website uses SSL and/or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line contains “https://” instead of “http://” and there is a padlock icon in your browser line.
If SSL and/or TLS encryption is activated, the data which you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
7.	the internet service provider of the system accessing the website.
We do not use such general data and information to draw any conclusions about you.
4.	provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for a criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
We therefore analyse such collected data and information statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, thereby ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. The legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes for data collection as listed above.
Information produced in connection with the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we gain immediate knowledge of your identity as a result.
Cookies are installed partly to make your experience of using our services more pleasant. We use “session cookies” to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are deleted automatically once you leave our site. We also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness. These are stored on your device for a certain defined period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, the site automatically recognises that you have already visited us before and remembers your entries and settings so that you do not have to input them again.
Cookies are also installed to record the use of our website statistically and to analyse this for the purpose of optimising our services for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited us when you visit our site again. These cookies are deleted automatically after a defined period of time.
The data processed by cookies are required for the aforementioned purposes in order to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message always appears before a new cookie is created. Full deactivation of cookies, however, may mean that you are unable to use all the features of our website.
Personal data is collected when we are contacted (e.g. via a contact form, via the Baufragen.de chat service or by email). In the case of a contact form, the data that are collected are evident from the actual contact form. These data are stored and used solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and/or for making contact and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your reason for contacting us is to conclude a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data shall be erased once we have definitively dealt with your enquiry. This shall be the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been clarified conclusively, provided that there are no opposing statutory retention obligations.
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of executing the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant transmits corresponding application documents to us electronically, such as by email or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted shall be stored for the purpose of establishing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory regulations. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents shall be erased automatically two months after notification of the decision to decline the application, provided that such erasure is not opposed by other legitimate interests on our part. An example of another legitimate interest in this sense is an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG).
In this respect, the data shall only be processed on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This website contains components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a trademark of Google (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA) under which special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick installs a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimise and display advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to post and display user-relevant advertisements as well as to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. In addition, the cookie is used to prevent multiple displays of the same advertisement.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is necessary to execute the technical process. For example, the cookie ID is required to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid double-postings. In addition, the cookie ID allows DoubleClick to record conversions.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact.
Every time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the internet browser on your IT system is prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purposes of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google also gains knowledge of data that also help Google to draw up commission statements. Google may, for example, understand that you have clicked on certain links on our website.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by DoubleClick and our website at any time by adjusting the settings of your internet browser accordingly. In addition, cookies already installed can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. DoubleClick is used in the interests of making our website convenient and easy to use. Your consent shall be obtained for this purpose pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You have the right to obtain confirmation from us as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed.

You have the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. The data subject also has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed.
You have the right to obtain from us the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay on condition that one of the grounds provided by law exists and insofar as the processing is not necessary.
You have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing where one of the legal preconditions exists.

You also have the right to transmit those data without hindrance from us to another controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.
In addition, in exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) (data processing in the public interest) or point (f) (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.
This also applies to profiling based on those provisions within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR.
If you object, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In some specific cases, we process personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you inform us of your objection to processing for direct marketing purposes, we shall no longer process the personal data for such purposes.
