Data Collection on This Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator’s contact details in the section “Information on the Controller” in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected, firstly, when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This mainly concerns technical data, such as internet browser, operating system or time of page access. This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. If contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data is also processed for contract offers, orders or other order enquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to data protection.

2. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data means data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission on the internet, for example when communicating by email, may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar data.

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you submit a justified request for deletion or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data, for example tax or commercial law retention periods. In the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 Abs. 2 lit. a DSGVO, provided that special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 Abs. 1 DSGVO are processed. If we use subcontractors in third countries, the provisions of Art. 44 ff. DSGVO will be taken into account.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device, for example via device fingerprinting, the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The relevant legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer.

Rotlay-Mühle
D-55545 Bad Kreuznach
Phone: +49 (0) 671/291-01
Email: datenschutzbeauftragter@allit.de

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so, for example disclosure of data to tax authorities, if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the data disclosure.

For orders, we transmit the personal data required for contract and shipping processing to shipping, transport, logistics and, where applicable, fulfilment service providers. This includes, in particular, name, delivery address and, where required, order-related and shipment-related information. The transfer is carried out for the performance of the contract on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

Where service providers act as processors, they are engaged on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO. Where service providers process the data under their own responsibility under data protection law, we transmit the data to them only to the extent necessary for the respective purposes.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. e or Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.

If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. This is an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes. This is an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 2 DSGVO.

Your Rights

You have the right to request information from us at any time under the DSGVO as to whether personal data concerning you is stored by us. In addition, you have the following rights in relation to this stored data:

  • the right of access to stored data pursuant to Art. 15 DSGVO,
  • the right to rectification of inaccurate data pursuant to Art. 16 DSGVO,
  • the right to erasure of data pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO,
  • the right to restriction of processing of data pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO,
  • the right to object to unreasonable data processing pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO, and
  • the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO.

If you have given consent to the use of data, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.

Please send all requests for information, access requests or objections to data processing by email to datenschutzbeauftragter@allit.de or to the postal address stated in the legal notice.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the DSGVO pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact details published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example by spam emails.

3. Hosting

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session, known as session cookies, or permanently, known as permanent cookies, on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may originate from us, known as first-party cookies, or from third-party companies, known as third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites, for example cookies for processing payment services.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, for example the shopping basket function or the display of videos. Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you, for example the shopping basket function, or for optimising the website, for example cookies for measuring the web audience, are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.

If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent, Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find information about this in this privacy policy.

Contact Form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO or on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO, where this has been requested. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies, for example after your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiry by Email, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it, such as name and enquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO or on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO, where this has been requested. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data transmitted to us by contact enquiries remains with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies, for example after your request has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

Registration on this Website

You can register on this website in order to use additional functions on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, for example changes to the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of carrying out the user relationship established by the registration and, where applicable, for initiating further contracts pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

The data collected during registration is stored by us for as long as you are registered on this website and is then deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

5. eCommerce, Credit Checks and Payment Providers

Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment, content-related design and modification of our contractual relationships. We collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of this website, known as usage data, only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or for billing purposes. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and expiry of any existing statutory retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Credit Check

Where we make advance performance for certain orders or contract conclusions, we reserve the right to carry out a credit check before dispatching the goods or before performing the contract. The purpose of the credit check is to assess the risk of payment default and to prevent fraud and payment defaults.

For this purpose, we transmit the personal data required for the credit check, for example name, address and, where applicable, further information required for identification, to a credit agency or a corresponding creditworthiness service provider. From there, we receive information about the probability of payment default and, where applicable, creditworthiness or score values.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in economically protecting our company against payment defaults and in risk assessment before delivery on invoice or other advance performance.

Where the credit check is necessary for the decision on concluding or performing a contract, the processing may also be based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

We use the following company to carry out credit checks:

Creditreform Bad Kreuznach Langenfeld KG
Rüdesheimer Straße 10
55545 Bad Kreuznach

The information obtained as part of the credit check is used exclusively for deciding on the establishment, performance or termination of the contractual relationship. Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 DSGVO does not take place.

6. Newsletter

We regularly inform interested parties and customers by email about news, products, services, promotions and other offers from our company.

Newsletters are sent either

on the basis of your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 UWG, or
within the scope of statutory existing-customer advertising pursuant to § 7 Abs. 3 UWG, provided that we have received your email address in connection with the sale of goods or services and you have not objected to the use of your email address for advertising purposes.

When you register for a newsletter, we process the data you provide, in particular your email address, for the purpose of sending the newsletter. Registration is generally carried out using the double opt-in procedure. After registration, a confirmation email is sent to verify the registration. In addition, the time of registration and confirmation is stored in order to be able to prove consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future or object to the use of your email address for advertising purposes at any time. To do so, you can use the unsubscribe link in every newsletter or contact us at the following email address: datenschutzbeauftragter@allit.de.

7. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, “Google”, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is assigned to the respective user device. It is not assigned to a user ID.

Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to record, among other things, your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour, for example cookies or device fingerprinting. The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs/.

The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, “DPF”. The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information is available from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.

IP Anonymisation

Google Analytics IP anonymisation is activated. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website use and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

8. Plugins and Tools

YouTube

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited, “Google”, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of our web pages on which YouTube is embedded, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. In this process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable technologies for recognition, for example device fingerprinting. In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent attempted fraud. In addition, the collected data is processed in the Google advertising network.

9. Social Media Channels

We operate publicly accessible profiles on social networks for the presentation of our company and for communication with customers and interested parties, currently at:

  • Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland, Facebook and Instagram
  • YouTube, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
  • TikTok, TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited, WeWork, 125 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6NH, England, and TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland
  • LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland
  • Xing: New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Germany

In addition, our website uses buttons for the above-mentioned social networks. The buttons are marked with the logo of the respective social network. However, these are not the usual social plugins, but buttons with embedded links. The buttons must be activated separately by you by clicking on them. Only when you click the buttons and thereby declare your consent to communication with the servers of the social network do the buttons become active and the connection is established. You are then no longer on the page of the Allit Group of Companies.

By activating the button, the social networks then also receive information including that and when you accessed the corresponding page of our website, as well as, for example, your IP address, information about the browser used and language settings.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Categories of Personal Data Processed through Our Social Media Presences

When you visit our social media presences, the following data relating to you is processed:

  • your username on the social network and comments published on our social media presences,
  • messages that you have sent to us via our social media presences,
  • your activity on our fan pages via the Facebook Insights and Instagram Insights services, including information about profiles visited, links clicked, date and time of interaction, and information about the countries and cities from which our visitors come,
  • other information necessary to answer enquiries from our visitors or to clearly identify our visitors in our systems.

Please note that we cannot trace all data processing purposes of the social media portals. Please refer to the privacy notices of the respective social media portals for information about further data processing purposes.

Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing

With our social media presence, we would like to offer you a broad range of multimedia services, comprehensively present our products to you and communicate with you. Data processing serves, in particular, the following purposes:

  • presentation of our company and corporate culture, including existing career and further training opportunities,
  • comprehensive product advice and answering customer and prospective customer enquiries,
  • communication with and information for visitors to the social media channels,
  • collection of statistical information about the reach of the social media channels,
  • conducting customer surveys, marketing campaigns, market analyses, prize draws, competitions or similar campaigns or events.

The legal basis for the purposes listed is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest consists in presenting our company to you on the preferred channels and offering customers and interested parties an easy means of contact. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in analysing the reach and use of our social media channels in order to continuously adapt and optimise them for customers.

Joint Controllership for the Processing of Page Insights Data

We use the statistical information that is made available to us in anonymised form, including visits to our fan page, the extent of interactions, information about the countries and cities from which our visitors come, statistics on the gender distribution of our visitors, statistics on our visitors’ field of work and the average duration of video playbacks, in connection with the use of our social media presences via the services of the respective social media networks. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users.

According to the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union, CJEU, of 5 June 2018, the operator of social media pages is jointly responsible for data processing within the meaning of Art. 26 DSGVO, at least in the case of Facebook fan pages.

For this reason, we and the providers of the social network are considered “joint controllers” within the meaning of the DSGVO and have therefore concluded a so-called joint controllership agreement, insofar as the social networks offer such an agreement.

The individual joint controllership agreements can be found here:

Facebook Insights: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

YouTube or Google and Xing currently do not provide an agreement on joint controllership. Further information on “YouTube Analytics” can be found at: https://support.google.com/youtube/topic/9257532?hl=de&ref_topic=9257610.

LinkedIn: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa

Further information on the independent processing of your personal data by the service provider, over which we have no influence, can be found in the privacy policy of the respective service provider:

10. Applications

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us, for example by email, by post or via an online application form. Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data is treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you send us an application, we process the associated personal data, for example contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews and similar data, to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship.

The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG, initiation of an employment relationship, Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO, general contract initiation, and, where you have given consent, Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Your personal data is passed on within our company exclusively to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

As part of the application process, we may, under certain circumstances, also carry out an internet search relating to your person. This primarily includes Google searches, LinkedIn and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO in obtaining an overall impression of publicly accessible information about you.

Retention Period of the Data

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you reject a job offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted to us on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO for up to six months from the end of the application process, rejection or withdrawal of the application. The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed.

Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after expiry of the six-month period, for example due to a threatened or pending legal dispute, deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

11. Children and Young People

Persons under 18 years of age may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children or young people, do not collect such data and do not disclose it to third parties.
