Thank you for showing in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the SGS Feinwerktechnik GbR. It is generally possible to use the SGS Feinwerktechnik GbR website without providing any personal data. However, if a person concerned wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the SGS Feinwerktechnik GbR.

Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, SGS Feinwerktechnik GbR has 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, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

 8. Privacy Policy regarding the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function):

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics refers to the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service captures data such as which website a data subject came from (known as the referrer), which subpages were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to conduct cost-benefit analyses of online advertising.

The operator company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the „_gat._anonymizeIp“ extension for web analysis via Google Analytics. With this extension, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports that show the activities on our website, and to provide further services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. As explained earlier, cookies are small text files stored on a computer system. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the usage of our website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for online analysis to Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and to subsequently enable commission billing.

The cookie stores personal information such as the time of access, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. On each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may transfer this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as outlined above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Additionally, any cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time using the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics, related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of these data by Google, and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or another person within their control, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

For further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google, please refer to https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

 9. Legal basis for processing

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing activities 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 the data subject is a party, such as in processing activities required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or counter-performance, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing activities required to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case if, for example, a visitor to our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be shared with a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In such a case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.

Finally, processing activities may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing activities that are not covered by any of the above legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing activities are specifically permitted because the European legislator has explicitly mentioned them. In this regard, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest might be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

10. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest in processing personal data is the conduct of our businesss activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and stakeholders.

11. Duration of storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the retention period has expired, the relevant data will be routinely deleted, unless it is still required for the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.

12. Legal or contractual obligations to provide personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; Possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may arise from contractual agreements (e.g., information about the contractual partner).

In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data, which will then need to be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal data when we enter into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

13. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
