The protection of your privacy when surveying, handling and using your personal data is very important to us which we take into account for our business processes with high regard and considering the legal requirements. In accordance with Art. 13 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), we would hereby like to notify you of which personal data belonging to you is processed by Neugart GmbH.

It may be the case that third party content from other websites is integrated on this website, such as videos from YouTube, Google Maps map data or content from other websites. This always assumes that the provider of such content (hereinafter referred to as a “third-party provider") has access to the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, the content cannot be sent to that user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required to present this content.

Neugart GmbH explicitly reserves the right to take legal steps in the event that unsolicited advertising material, such as spam email, is received.
Data declared by you when registering is necessary only for Neugart to make the license available for commercial interests in the scope of potential business deals or, in isolated cases, for scientific activities. These conditions are checked using the data entered in the licensing screen.
due to legal requirements, e.g. storage of documents for commercial and fiscal purposes (Art. 6 paragraph 1 c GDPR).
Management, specialist departments. Furthermore, the data can be forwarded to so-called processors, i.e. companies who we commission for the handling of your data within the intended legal framework, Art. 28 GDPR (service providers, auxiliary agents). In some cases, we are also legally obliged to transmit certain information to the requesting public authority.
Your information is not forwarded to locations outside of the EU. If your information is also processed in countries outside of the EU in exceptional cases (i.e. in so-called third countries), this takes place if you have given your express consent for this, or it is necessary so that we can provide you with our services, or it is prescribed by law (Art. 49 GDPR). Furthermore, processing of your information in third countries only takes place if certain measures have been taken to ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is being provided (e.g. adequacy decision by the EU commission or so-called suitable guarantees, Art. 44 et seq. GDPR).
Tax-related data is stored for 10 years after the termination of the business relationship and non-tax related data is stored for 6 years. User data of the license is stored for 2 years after expiry of the used license and then destroyed in compliance with data protection.
On our web site and as part of the use of the login area of our Tec Data Finder (TDF) online configuration tool, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal information in order to independently configure a gearbox/engine combination and then request CAD models, technical data sheets and a quote. When doing this, the information is entered into an input screen during one-off registration without a user account or when a user account is created, and is stored and used by us.
A name must be entered, the use of pseudonyms is not possible. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to activate your user account, i.e. Your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration beforehand by clicking on the link contained within a confirmation email that has been sent to you for this purpose. If your confirmation in this respect is not received promptly, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database.
We only transmit personal information to third parties if this is necessary within the scope of the CAD models and technical data sheets and the request for a quote, i.e. to sales partners who look after you on site.
Service providers who are granted the technical permission to do so can also examine the information that you provided during registration. These service providers are order processing companies in some cases. Appropriate order processing contracts have been agreed to for this.
Any other transmission of the information does not take place, or only if you have given your express permission for the transmission. Passing on of your information to third parties for the purpose of advertising, for example, will not take place without your express consent.
The legal basis for the processing of the information is the consent of the user as per Art. 6, Para. 1, Item a of the DSGVO (General Data Protection Regulation). If the registration is used to fulfil a contract or carry out precontractual measures, it is an additional legal basis for the processing of the information as per Art. 6, Para. 1, Item b of the DSGVO. Within the scope of statistical evaluation, information is also processed on the basis of Art. 6, Para. 1, Item f of the DSGVO.
Our Tec Data Finder (TDF) online configuration tool can be called up and used with restricted functionality without registering. If you would like to use the TDF as a registered user in order to obtain CAD models and technical data sheets with motor adaptation, request quotes for gearboxes or track your account activities, you can use the login data of your activated user account or register as a new user.
For important changes such as to the scope of the order or if technical changes are required within the scope of your configuration, we will notify you using the e-mail address or phone number that was specified during one-off registration without a user account or when a user account was created.
If you activate your user account, you will also receive information about our training program.
Your information is also stored for internal system-related and statistical purposes.
The information is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. As far as the information that was collected during registration is concerned, this is the case if the registration on our web site has been removed or modified.
For the data that is collected for fulfilling a contract (e.g. usage agreement for the provision and purchase of CAD models and technical data sheets) or for carrying out precontractual measures, this is the case if the information is no longer required to fulfil the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store the contract partner's personal information in order to fulfil contractual or legal obligations.
Information which you enter during one-off registration without a user account is used for two years after it has been made available. Your personal information is then deleted. Deletion of your information that was entered during one-off registration without a user account can also be requested at any time before the deletion period has elapsed.
due to legal requirements, e.g. storage of documents for commercial and fiscal purposes (Art. 6 paragraph 1 c DSGVO).
Management, specialist departments. The information can also be forwarded to so-called order processors, i.e. companies who we commission to process information within the legally intended framework, Art. 28 DSGVO (service providers, auxiliary agents). In some cases, we are also legally obliged to transmit certain information to the requesting public authority.
Your information is not forwarded to locations outside of the EU. If your information is also processed in countries outside of the EU in exceptional cases (i.e. in so-called third countries), this takes place if that you have given your express consent for this, or it is necessary so that we can provide you with our services, or it is prescribed by law (Art. 49 DSGVO). Furthermore, processing of your information in third countries only takes place if certain measures have been taken to ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is being provided (e.g. adequacy decision by the EU commission or so-called suitable guarantees, Art. 44 et seq. DSGVO).
Personal information that is made available by you for making contact is deleted by Neugart GmbH after 2 years if a business relationship does not come into being.
With the right to information (Art. 15 DSGVO), you are given a comprehensive insight into the data relating to you and other important criteria such as the purpose of processing or the duration of storage. The exceptions to these rights regulated in section 34 of the BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act) apply.
The right to correction (Art. 16 DSGVO) includes the possibility of having incorrect personal information corrected.
The right to deletion (Art. 17 DSGVO) includes the possibility of having information deleted by the responsible authority. However, this is only possible if your personal information is no longer needed, has been processes illegally or consent with regard to this has been revoked. The exceptions to these rights regulated in section 35 of the BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act) apply.
The right to restrict processing (Art. 18 DSGVO) includes the possibility of preventing further processing of the personal information you provided for the time being. A restriction particularly occurs during the checking phase of other rights by the affected party.
The right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO) includes the possibility of the party concerned receiving his/her personal information in a normal machine-readable format from the party responsible in order have it forwarded to another responsible party if necessary. In accordance with Art. 20 Para 3 Clause 2 of the DSGVO, these rights are not available if the data processing is required for performing official functions. This is only the case at Neugart GmbH if the personal information is being processed for fiscal purposes.
The right to object (Art. 21 DSGVO) includes the possibility of disagreeing with the further processing of your personal information in a special situation, insofar as this is justified by the performance of official functions or public or private interests.
