WIELAND ELECTRIC welcomes your interest in our company and our products.
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and we want you to feel comfortable with us. Your data will therefore be collected, stored and processed in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. We take the security of your personal data into account in our business processes. Our employees and the service providers appointed by us are bound by a duty of confidentiality and are under an obligation to comply with the data protection regulations.
We will inform you about how we ensure the protection of your personal data in the following.
Your data may be merged and stored with the data of other orders, inquiries and business correspondence, which you transmit to us by other means (fax, post, telephone, …).
If required, we also make use of service providers (e.g. logistics service providers for dispatch of the products and banks for payment processing). We will only transmit your data to such third parties to the extent necessary for the performance of these tasks (legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR). Our legitimate interest in using external service providers, e.g. our logistics service providers for dispatch of your ordered goods, consists in providing our services as efficiently and effectively as possible and therefore as quickly and reasonably priced for you as possible. Third parties which receive personal data of our business partners are obliged to comply with the data protection provisions.
We reserve the right to transmit your personal data to external service providers for carrying out a credit check, in order to protect our legitimate interest in securing our claims (legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). We receive information about your payment history and credit ratings from these credit agencies. This data enables us to assess our business relationship and is used by us to make a decision about whether to supply and for our protection against non-payments.
We store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship or pursuant to the statutory retention periods.
You can also visit our website without the explicit statement of personal data. In this respect, only the use of your complete IP address is required, in order to transmit the data of our website accessed by you to your device (legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR).
We store the complete IP address for 7 days, so that we can initiate criminal proceedings, if appropriate, in the case of attacks on our IT defensive measures, in order to protect our legitimate interest in our IT integrity (legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
We use maps from Google Maps on the website to facilitate orientation. Google Maps is a service of Google Inc. In this respect, we have no control options and receive no information from Google as to whether you exchanged map information during your visit to our website.
We have integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal which enables video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and also enables other users to view, review and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts via the Internet portal, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users.
Each view of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, automatically prompts the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject to download the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube and display it. You will find more information about YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/intl/en/yt/about/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of the specific sub-page of our website which was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube, YouTube recognizes the specific sub-page of our website which was visited by the data subject each time a sub-page which contains a YouTube video is viewed. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of viewing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not desire the transmission of such information to YouTube and Google, the transmission can be prevented if the data subject logs off from their YouTube account before viewing our website.
Your data may be merged and stored with the data of other orders, inquiries and business correspondence, which you transmit to us by another ordering method (fax, post, telephone, …).
If required, we also make use of service providers (e.g. logistics service providers for dispatch of your ordered products and banks for payment processing). We will only transmit your data to such third parties to the extent necessary for the performance of these tasks (legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR). Third parties which receive data of our customers are obliged to comply with the data protection provisions. Our legitimate interest in using external service providers, e.g. our logistics service providers for dispatch of your ordered goods, consists in providing our services as efficiently and effectively as possible and therefore as quickly and reasonably priced for you as possible.
We reserve the right to transmit your personal data to external service providers for carrying out a credit check (legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). We receive information about your payment history and credit ratings from these credit agencies. This data enables us to assess our customer relationship and is used by us to make a decision about whether to supply and for our protection against non-payments. We have a legitimate interest here.
We store this data for the duration of our business relationship or pursuant to the statutory retention periods.
If you wish to object to the use for other direct marketing purposes, simply send an email to “info@wieland-electric.com”.
This means that you will receive an email from us after registration for the newsletter which requests you to confirm ordering the newsletter. We inform you about news from our company in the newsletter (product innovations, services, special offers, competitions, …). Your data is stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active. However, you can unsubscribe from the distribution list of this newsletter at any time via the link provided in each newsletter or by sending us an appropriate advice without giving reasons (info@wieland-electric.com) (= Revocation of your Consent).
Generally speaking, the Internet is an insecure medium. As a result, please note that we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of normal email communication via the links provided on our home page and via other email addresses of Wieland Electric GmbH.
If you require encryption of your email communication with Wieland Electric GmbH, please contact your email contact person directly.
You will find links to the email address bewerbung@wieland-electric.com in our Careers section.
You can send speculative applications or applications for advertised vacancies to this address. Please note that the email communication with this address is unencrypted, and the confidentiality of your data is therefore not guaranteed. If you require encryption of your email communication, please contact info@wieland-electric.com.
We use your application documents to contact you personally, in order to verify your suitability for an employment relationship with our company and to process the application. (The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b), (c) and (f) of the GDPR). Your application documents are stored at the personnel department for this purpose and may be transmitted to the technical department which comes into consideration for employment.
If we cannot currently consider your application, we will store your application documents for 6 months, in order to be able to consider them at a later date. Your application documents will be erased after this period, provided that the erasure is not contrary to any of our other legitimate interests. Another legitimate interest in this respect is e.g. the burden of proof in proceedings pursuant to the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).
You can object to this storage by sending an email to bewerbung@wieland-electric.com.
We will include your application documents in the personal records in the event of an employment relationship and store them for the entire duration of the employment relationship as well as for statutory retention periods extending beyond this (The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) and of the GDPR, Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), Sub-section 1 as amended).
If we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data.
In the processing of personal data which is required for fulfilling a contract whose contract party is the data subject, Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as a legal basis. This also applies to processing procedures required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is required for fulfilling a legal obligation which our company is subject to, Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as a legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the data subject is erased or the processing restricted as soon as the data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected. Data may also be stored beyond this if provided for by the European or national legislator in regulations under Union law, legislation or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data is also erased or the processing restricted when a storage period prescribed by the stated standards expires unless there is a need for continued storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
If you have made use of your right to rectify, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of the processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data relating to you at any time; this is provided on the basis of Article 6 (1)(e) or (f) and also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
We will then no longer process the personal data relating to you, unless we can prove that there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where the personal data relating to you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data relating to you for such marketing at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time without giving reasons. In the event that you withdraw consent, we will erase your personal data immediately and no longer process it. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to the withdrawal of consent. If you wish to exercise your right to withdraw consent, please contact info@wieland-electric.com.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of your personal data breaches the GDPR.
