Right of revocation

Consents given can be revoked by you with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 DSGVO.

Right to information, deletion and correction

In accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO, you have the right to obtain information about the data stored about you - including any recipients and the planned storage period. Should incorrect personal data be processed, you have the right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO. If the legal requirements are met, you may request deletion or restriction of processing as well as object to processing (Art. 17, 18 and 21 DSGVO).

If you wish data to be deleted but we are still legally obliged to retain it, access to your data will be restricted (blocked). The same applies in the event of an objection. You can exercise your right to data portability, insofar as the technical possibilities are available to the recipient and to us.

Mr Thomas Werning will be pleased to be your contact person for your data subject rights under the above contact details.

Obligation to provide

Without correct information from you, it is generally not possible to conclude a contract.

Categories of recipients

In the context of providing special services, we use service companies which we have separately committed to secrecy and data protection. Access to personal data cannot be excluded in this context.

These categories of recipients are:

  • Order processors used by us (Art. 28 DSGVO), in particular in the area of IT services,
    taxes, logistics and printing services, who process your data for us in accordance with
    instructions.
  • Public bodies and institutions (tax authorities) in the event of a legal or official
    obligation.
  • Other bodies for which you have given us your consent to the transfer of data.

Data will only be passed on to authorities in the event of overriding legal requirements.

Privacy policy

Customer data/interested parties

Purpose of processing

We process data that we receive in the course of handling our business relationship with you. We receive the data directly from you. Either in the case of enquiries from interested parties and contacts, the placing of orders or order processing (see point "Information on data collection and processing").

Legal basis:

The collection and processing of data is necessary for the performance of the contract and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO. The use for direct advertising is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO. It is our legitimate interest to draw your attention to special offers by means of direct advertising. The data will not be passed on to third parties unless required by law, e.g. to the tax office within the framework of tax laws. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its processing or after expiry of the statutory retention periods.

You have the right to object to the use of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time. In addition, you are entitled to request information about the data we have stored about you and to demand that the data be corrected if it is incorrect or deleted if it has been stored inappropriately. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (see "Right to lodge a complaint").

Suppliers

Purpose of processing

We process data that we receive in the course of handling our business relationship with you. We receive the data directly from you when placing an order or processing an order (see point "Information on data collection and processing").

Legal basis:

The collection and processing of data is necessary for the performance of the contract and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO. The data is not passed on to third parties unless required by law, such as to the tax office within the framework of tax laws. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its processing or after expiry of the statutory retention periods.

Employee data

See separate template to be handed out to employees.

Newsletter

Purpose of processing

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you. The registration for the newsletter is done in a double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail with which you must confirm your registration. This procedure prevents unauthorised persons from registering with your e-mail address. Your registration for the newsletter is logged (storage of the registration and confirmation time and the IP address). With the help of the logging, the registration process can be proven in accordance with legal requirements.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the e-mail address (and optionally first name and surname for the purpose of personal addressing) and its use for sending the newsletter with associated performance measurement at any time. A cancellation link is provided at the end of each newsletter. So that we can prove consent formerly given in the case of an unsubscribed e-mail address, we may store it for up to 2 years before deleting it.

Legal basis:

This is done on the basis of consent of the recipients according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO, Art. 7 DSGVO together with Art. 7 para. 2 no. 3 German Unfair Competition Act (UWG) or on the basis of legal permission according to Art. 7 para. 3 UWG.

As well as Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO: Our legitimate interest in measuring success results from recognising the reading habits of our users based on the openings of the newsletters, opening times and the links clicked on, in order to be able to create and send them interestbased and useful content as a result.

Our legitimate interest in logging arises from the fact that we use a secure and user-friendly newsletter system that is useful for sending and protects the personal data of newsletter subscribers. Furthermore, it allows us to prove consent.

You are entitled to request information about the data we have stored about you and to request that the data be corrected if it is incorrect or deleted if it has been stored inappropriately. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (see "Right to lodge a complaint").

Applicants

Purpose of processing

Applications online, by e-mail or by post: If you apply to us on the basis of a job advertisement, we will collect your personal data such as first name, surname, address, telephone number, e-mail address, attachments (covering letter, CV, certificates, photo) and store them for the duration of the selection procedure.

Your data will only be used by authorised persons of the personnel department or the management for processing within the scope of the selection procedure. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

If the specific position for which you are applying has already been filled elsewhere, but your profile makes you eligible for future employment or employment in a partner or subsidiary company, we will obtain your express consent before further storing or forwarding your application, unless you have already consented to such storage or forwarding in your application.

There is a requirement that application documents are forwarded immediately to the HR department unopened and the incoming email is deleted. If you apply to us and use our general contact e-mail address for this purpose, the content of your application e-mail can be viewed by unauthorised personnel. To exclude this, please send your application to: karriere@fischermesstechnik.de.

Legal basis:

Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO for the processing of precontractual measures.

Unless you inform us otherwise, the data will be deleted 6 months after completion of the application process or destroyed in the case of postal applications. Due to the long application and selection periods for trainees, we store their data in Germany for up to 18 months.

You have the following rights, provided the respective legal requirements are met: the right to information about your data stored by us; correction, deletion, restriction of the processing of your data or objection to the processing, as well as data portability. Furthermore, you can of course request the deletion or destruction of all your application documents at any time by sending an e-mail to karriere@fischermesstechnik.de.

Server Data Collection

Purpose of processing

When you visit our site, various server statistics are automatically stored, which your browser transmits to our provider's server: Among other things, the IP address of your device, date and time of access, name and URL of accessed files, website (from which access is made or from which you were directed to our site (referrer URL)), browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your device as well as the name of your provider are logged.

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the purposes of smooth connection setup and system security. This data is not merged with other data sources. The IP address is anonymised. The accruing connection data is automatically deleted, usually after a maximum of seven days. If the website is misused, log data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes will be retained until the incident has been clarified.

Legal basis:

Art. 6 l (f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest arises from the fact that we want to ensure secure operation of the website and detect any attacks.

Video surveillance

Purpose of processing

Our purpose of video surveillance is vandalism prevention, protection against theft, exercising house rights, protection of persons and property, protection against plant espionage, access control and burglary. As the responsible body, we process personal image files that we collect as part of the video surveillance on the company premises. As we do not always notice break-ins and theft immediately, the storage period is 60 days.

Legal basis:

Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in burglary protection and the protection of our property and access control.

This data is only passed on to investigating authorities in the event of criminal offences.
