Subject matter of this statement is the collection, processing and use (utilization) of personal data gathered when making use of the TROTEC® range of products and services. We are delighted at your interest in our website. Below you will find information on how your data is handled.
The responsible authority in terms of the data protection law is TROTEC GmbH & Co. KG (see legal notice). Mr Joachim Ludwig is the person in charge of all data privacy issues. If you have questions concerning the utilization of your personal data or you want to make use of the legal remedy described here, just fill out the contact form. Naturally, it is also possible to deploy the TROTEC range of products and services without providing personal information. In that event only access data without personal references is gathered (e.g. name of the internet provider, used browser type, the site where from you started looking for the product or the name of the requested file); this makes tracing you impossible. This data is used exclusively for the improvement of our products and services.
2. No consent through use
Decisive factor for the use of your data are the respectively applicable statutory regulations, particularly the Federal Data Protection Act and the German Telemedia Act. If and when data is gathered for a purpose requiring your consent according to these regulations, you will be asked for your explicit consent in each case. You can revoke the once given consent any time with future effect and/or object to the future usage of your data. The mere registration, use of services or acknowledgment of this declaration is not a substitution for your explicit declaration of consent.
3. Utilization of your personal data
Outlined below are the possible uses of your data.
Personal data is collected when you initiate the participation in a seminar, request a catalogue or sign up for a newsletter; gathered for this are your personal details and the data required for processing. From this information only those details required for the contractual relationship are regarded and designed as compulsory statements. If you use recurring functions, TROTEC automatically gathers and saves technical information from your browser in the server logs. This particularly relates to data deposited with so-called cookies (cf. paragraph "Cookies") and required for service functions.
2. Data processing and use
TROTEC uses the gathered data for four primary purposes, although actually not all data is used for all purposes:
1. Your account data including personal information and your address (inventory data) is used to establish and handle the contractual relationship (seminars).
2. Date concerning your usage of individual products/services (usage data) is used for our technical processing of the usage service (e.g. catalogue request or newsletter). Here, it may happen that certain usage data of different services is merged for the purpose of coordination.
3. Upon completed execution of the contractual relationship (seminars) your data will be blocked for further use and deleted upon expiry of the fiscal and commercial law retention periods, unless you have explicitly consented to the further usage of your data (e.g. newsletter).
4. When signing up for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used for internal advertising purposes until you unsubscribe again.
TROTEC only ever transmits your personal data to third parties if:
1. the transfer is required for the realization or billing of participation at a seminar, particularly, if a third party requires this data for handling the contractual relationship (such as credit card companies or seminar service providers; those parties are only provided with the information required for their service).
2. If and when in a given case we have a legitimate interest in transmitting your personal data to third parties within the limits of the law, who are authorized to carry out validity checks of the entered data (such as credit card information, banking details etc.) and for credit scoring. In doing so, the information is only transferred to parties required for processing. This might include the stated bank as well as the following companies, TROTEC is working with:
Logistics companies (e.g. letter post)
3. Moreover, according to applicable laws public authorities may request information or data to fulfil their lawful tasks, for instance for the prosecution purposes.
4. Deletion of data
Provided your data is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes including settlement, the information will be deleted. Please note that with each deletion the data is initially only blocked and will only be permanently deleted with delay to prevent accidental deletion or potential deliberate damages. For technical reasons data may be duplicated in backup files and service data mirroring. Such copies will also only be deleted after a delay due to technical reasons. Moreover, on the grounds of commercial and tax law we are obliged to store certain data regarding processed transactions for a specific period of time.

TROTEC constantly endeavours to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or destruction. Your personal data is only accessible to those employees, who necessarily have to see your data in order to carry out their work properly and to be able to offer you services and products in the best possible way.
