INTRODUCTION With the following information, we would like to give you as a "person concerned" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent. The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "AICHELIN Holding GmbH". By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Being responsible for data processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by mail. 2.

DEFINITIONS The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. We use the following terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy: 1. Personal Data Personal data is 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. 2. Person Concerned Person concerned is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the responsible for data processing (our company). 3. Processing Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. 4. Restriction of Processing Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing. 5. Profiling Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person's job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location. 6. Pseudonymization Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific person without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. 7. Order Processor Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the responsible. 8. Receiver A receiver is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients. 9. Third Party Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the concerned person, the responsible, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the responsible or the processor. 10. Consent Consent is any expression of will in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative action made voluntarily by the concerned person for the specific case in an informed manner and in an unambiguous manner, by which the concerned person indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her. 5. LEGAL BASIS OF THE PROCESSING Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with § 15 para. 3 TMG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the concerned person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the concerned person are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR). 6. TRANSMISSION OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.We will only share your personal information with third parties if: 1. you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a GDPR, 2. the disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data, 3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, as well as 4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you. In order to protect your data and to allow us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. 7. TECHNOLOGY 7.1 SSL/TLS encryption This site uses SSL 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 recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a "https://" instead of a "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line. We use this technology to protect your transmitted data. 7.2 Data collection when visiting the website During the merely informational use of our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect such data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call of a page by you or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded 1. browser types and versions used, 2. the operating system used by the accessing system, 3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer), 4. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, 5. the date and time of an access to the website, 6. an Internet Protocol (IP) address, 7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system. When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. This information is rather required in order to 1. to deliver the contents of our website correctly, 2. to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, 3. to ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and 4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a concerned person.The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. 8. COOKIES 8.1 General Information about Cookies We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.

This transfer takes place within the framework of order processing by MailChimp. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there. MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. For the evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

OUR ACTIVITIES IN SOCIAL NETWORKS So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with regard to the processing operations triggered thereby which concern personal data. We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers. As a precaution, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore involve data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and the processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is directly assigned to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here). The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 7 GDPR. As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider.
