Personal data is data that can identify you, whether directly or indirectly, e.g. your name, address, e-mail address, account details, or date of birth.
When using the website for information purposes, i.e. when you do not register or otherwise submit information to us, we collect the usage data which is gathered by the web analysis service used by us, Google Analytics. What data is collected by Google Analytics, how it is used, and how you can control that collection and usage are each explained at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. This data is collected [in order to interact with our customers, including to provide them services and information, under Art. 6, Para. 1, let. f of the EU-GDPR or PDPA section ***]. If this data is not collected, users may notice decreased functionality of our website or quality of our services. You can find more information about this, particularly with regard to your rights, in Point 5.
Apart from the use of our website for purely informative purposes, we offer different services which you can use if you are interested and for which you voluntarily disclose your personal data.
More information can be found in the additional Points below.
In those circumstances when we obtain consent from a data subject for the processing of the data subject’s personal data, Art. 6, Para. 1, let. a of the EU-GDPR and Section 19 of the PDPA serve as the legal basis or legitimate objective for this data collection. For the processing of personal data that is required for the fulfillment of a contract with a contracting party who is the data subject, Art. 6, Para. 1, let. b of the EU-GDPR and Section 24(3) of the PDPA serve as a legal basis or legitimate objective for data collection. This also applies to processing operations that are required for the implementation of precontractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6, Para. 1, let. c of the EU-GDPR and Section 24(6) of the PDPA serve as the legal basis or legitimate objective for data collection. For cases where vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make necessary the processing of personal data, Art. 6, Para. 1, let. d of the EU-GDPR and Section 24(2) of the PDPA serve as the legal basis or legitimate objective for data collection. If the processing is required to safeguard the legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, then Art. 6, Para. 1, let. f of the EU-GDPR and Section 24(5) of the PDPA shall serve as the legal basis or legitimate objective for the processing. More information can be found in the individual features of our website.

Flash cookies used are not collected by your browser, but by your flash plug-in. We also use HTML5 storage objects that are placed on your computer or end device. These objects store data on your device itself, which is retained irrespective of the browser used by you, and have no automatic expiration date.

You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by setting your browser to privacy mode. We also recommend you manually delete your cookies and the browser history on a regular basis.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (Google), which uses cookies.

For more information on how Google uses your data, see the description in Point 2, above.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are only processed further in abbreviated form to prevent them from being directly linked to a particular individual.

Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via a single interface (and, e.g., integrate Google Analytics, as well as other Google Marketing services, in our online offerings). The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal data of users. You may refer to the following information on Google services with respect to the processing of users’ personal data. Usage Guidelines: policies.google.com/terms.
We use Google Analytics in the form of "Universal Analytics". "Universal Analytics" describes a procedure of Google Analytics that conducts user analysis based on a pseudonymous user ID. Thus, a pseudonymous user profile is created with information from the usage of different devices (so-called "cross-device tracking").

Information on these contractual guarantees is available from the Data Protection Commissioner on request.

We use so-called retargeting technology on our website. We use retargeting in order to categorize website visitors into user groups. The legal basis or legitimate objective for the processing is Art. 6, Para. 1, Clause 1, let. f of the EU-GDPR and Section 24(5) of the PDPA.
So that we can use relevant news and ads on Facebook – and in order to measure our marketing success, we have installed the Facebook pixel on our sites – and thus the retargeting/remarketing tool of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our website and accept marketing cookies, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the Facebook pixel code. Facebook receives information that you visited our page with your IP address. This means that Facebook can assign the visit to our sites to your user account. We do not receive any information about the content of the data transferred nor about its use by Facebook. And we are unable to assign this data to you as a person. More information about options for protecting your privacy on Facebook can be found in the privacy statement of Facebook online at www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can manage which content and information you share by using Facebook via the "Activity log" tool or by downloading it from Facebook via the "Download your data" tool.
If you want to deactivate retargeting via Facebook for your browser, please use the opt-out function in the cookie settings.
We use Google AdWords in order to draw attention to certain offers using ads on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In so doing, our aim is to show you ads that are of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
This advertising media is delivered by Google via their "Ad Server". We use Ad Server cookies through which certain parameters can be measured for their performance, like insertion of ads or clicks by the user. If you reach our website from a Google ad, a cookie is stored by Google AdWords on your PC. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. When this cookie is used, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), as well as opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted), are generally saved as analysis values.
These cookies allow Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an AdWords customer, and the cookie stored on his computer is not yet expired, Google and the customer are able to recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to every AdWords customer. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the stated advertising measures. Google only provides us with statistical analyses. On the basis of these analyses, we are able to recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive additional data from the use of advertising media. Moreover, we are unable to identify user using this information.
Owing to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further processing of the data that is collected by Google through the use of this tool, and we therefore inform you according to the level of information known: With the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives information that you called up the corresponding page of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered for a Google service, Google may assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider finds out and saves your IP address.
You can prevent the participation in this tracking process in different ways: a) with a corresponding setting in your browser software, particularly the rejection of third-party cookies, which means that you do not receive any ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivation of cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies are blocked from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", which setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivation of the interest-related ads from providers, which are part of the self-regulation campaign "About Ads", via the link www.aboutads.info/choices, which setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; d) or by permanent deactivation in the browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome under the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all features of our website.
The legal basis or legitimate objective for the processing of your data is Art. 6, Para. 1, Clause 1, let. f of the EU-GDPR and Section 24(5) of the PDPA. More information about data protection at Google can be found here: www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy and services.google.com/sitestats/en.html. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at www.networkadvertising.org.
We only store your personal data for as long as is required for the intended purpose of data collection, or as required by law. The data is only stored beyond this period if this is required according to applicable law, including the laws, rules, or other regulations of the European Union or a member state of the European Union, to which we are subject. More information can be found in the individual features of our website.
If you gave your consent for the processing of your data, you can revoke it again at any time for future effect. You can send your notice of revocation to sales.th@balluff.co.th Please note that we may be legally bound to continue to store the data despite receipt of the objection or cancellation.
You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. The contact details for our Data Protection Commissioner, to whom such objection can be made, can be found under Point 1.
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the EU-GDPR and the PDPA, and you have the following rights vis-a-vis the responsible body:
