3. general information on data processing

Gebr. Held Hydraulik Techn. Großhandel GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

We only process personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Personal data is regularly only processed with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

 

4. collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of its use

When you visit our website www.held-hydraulik.de, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted: 

  • IP address of the requesting computer,
  • Date and time of access,
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file,
  • Website from which access is made (referrer URL),
  • the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
  • ensure a comfortable use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability and
  • for further administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. 


5. disclosure of data

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if: 

  • you have given your express consent to this (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR),
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
  • this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

 

6. cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called **session cookies** to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again, it is automatically recognised that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you (see section 7). These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

The data processed by cookies is required for the purposes mentioned to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.

 


7. analysis and tracking tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools:


a) Google Analytics
The statistically analysed data shows us the strengths and weaknesses of our website. On the one hand, we can optimise our site so that it can be found more easily by interested people on Google. On the other hand, the data helps us to better understand you as a visitor. We therefore know what we need to change on our website in order to offer you the best possible service. You can use the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js) to prevent Google Analytics from using your data. You can download and install the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

b) Google Maps
Google Maps enables us to better visualise our locations and thus improve our service. By using Google Maps, data is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers.

c) Google Fonts
With Google Fonts, we can use fonts on our website without having to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component in maintaining the quality of our website. All Google fonts are automatically optimised for the web, which saves data volume and is a great advantage for use on mobile devices. When you visit our site, the low file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are so-called secure web fonts.

Google is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data. You can find more information on this at
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI. If you would like to find out more about Google's data processing, we recommend that you read the company's own privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

 


8. rights of data subjects

You have the right: 

  • to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR;
  • in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to immediately request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us;
  • to request the deletion of your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR;
  • to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
  • in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller;
  • in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, to revoke your consent once given to us at any time and
  • to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

 

9. right of objection

If we process your personal data as described above on the basis of a balancing of interests to protect our overriding legitimate interests, you have the right to object to this processing with effect for the future. If the processing is carried out for the purpose of direct marketing, you can exercise this right to object at any time in the manner described above. In the case of processing for other purposes, you only have the right to object if there are grounds relating to your particular situation.

After exercising your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

This does not apply in the case of processing for direct marketing purposes. In this case, we will no longer process your personal data for this purpose.

 


10. data security

We use the widespread **SSL procedure** (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser when you visit our website. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. You can recognise whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. 

We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
