Processing personal data

1 Accessing our website
We collect and store the IP address assigned to your computer in order to transfer the content of our website that you have accessed to your computer (e.g. text, images and files provided for download etc.) (see Art. 6 [1] [b] GDPR). We also process this data to identify and track any instances of misuse. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We process this data to enact our legitimate interest of ensuring the proper functioning of our website and the transactions made through the website.

2.1 Email advertising with newsletter registration
When you register for a newsletter, we use your email address to send you the relevant newsletter. In this newsletter we regularly provide information about topics that may be of interest to you. To ensure your registration for the newsletter is legitimate, i.e. to prevent unauthorised registrations on behalf of third parties, we will send you a confirmation email after you initially register for the newsletter using the double opt-in process. In this email we will ask you to confirm your registration. The legal basis for this email is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) clause 1 a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we also store your IP address and the date and time of registration and confirmation. This is so that we can trace and verify the registration at a later date. The legal basis for storing this information is a legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest in this case is the information's use to verify the registration. We store your email address to send you the newsletter until you unsubscribe or we stop sending the newsletter to you. You can opt out of your newsletter registration at any time.

2.2 Email advertising without newsletter registration
If we have received your commercial email address as part of an existing business relationship (consulting, quotation), we reserve the right to send you information in our newsletter that covers relevant topics, as we assume you have a legitimate business interest here. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (F) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this case is providing direct advertising aimed at our (potential) customers. You can object to the use of your email address for email advertising at any time.

2.3 Newsletter statistics
To perform a statistical evaluation of our newsletter campaigns, the newsletters contain "web beacons". This is a miniature graphic embedded in the HTML-formatted email, which helps us to recognise if and when you have opened an email, and which links in the email have been accessed. This also sends your IP address to our servers. However, we do not store this or any other personal data. The legal basis for the use of these web beacons is a legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest in this case is their use to evaluate and optimise our newsletter.

3 Applications
Personal data is processed if you voluntarily provide us with such data when making an application. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
The HR department and the person who will make the decision about the application will receive the personal data.
An application cannot be made without providing personal data. At the end of the application process, the personal data will be deleted if no contract is concluded. If a contract is concluded, the personal data will be processed further in accordance with the internal data protection policy.

4 Other purposes
Personal data is also processed if you provide it to us, for example, following a request or when ordering information material or products. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
In so far as we process your data for the purposes of receiving and processing the respective request or order as described above, you are contractually obliged to provide us with this data. Without this data, we will not be able to process your request or order.

If you have provided consent to process your personal data (see Art. 6 [1] [a] GDPR), you can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legitimacy of the data processing that occurred up until the time you revoked your consent.

Sharing with third parties
In general, your information is shared with the corresponding ESYLUX company for the purposes of data processing, where it is processed in accordance with the specific matter. Data held by the ESYLUX companies is processed by the order processor Peter Kremser GmbH & Co KG for administrative, troubleshooting and support services. We use order processors for the purpose of hosting our platforms and back-up services and for sending emails and other messages. These order processors are obligated by us to handle your data solely in accordance with our instructions and the applicable data protection laws. In particular, they are obliged to treat your data in the strictest confidence, and are prohibited from processing the data for any purposes other than the agreed purpose.

Data is shared with the order processor in accordance with Art. 28 (1) GDPR

We do not sell your information to third parties or market it in any other way.

Statutory deadlines for the deletion of data
Numerous deadlines and obligations are set down in law in relation to the storage of data. The corresponding data will be routinely deleted once these deadlines have passed. Where any data is not affected by these deadlines and obligations, it will be deleted or anonymised if the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy cease to exist. Unless this Privacy Policy contains other, differing provisions regarding the storage of data, the data we collect will be stored by us for as long as required to complete the stated purposes for which the data was collected.

Other uses of data and data deletion
Further processing or use of your personal data will generally only occur if permitted by law or if you have consented to the processing or use of the data. In the event of further processing for purposes other than those for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you of these other purposes before processing the data further, and provide you with further relevant information.

To exercise the above right, please use the contact addresses below.

Right to data portability
You have the right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR. You have the right to obtain the personal data that you have provided us in a commonly used, structured and machine-readable format, and to transfer this data to another controller, for example another service provider.

Liability disclaimer

Liability for Content

Liability for Links
Our website contains links to external third party websites over whose content we do not have any influence. We are, therefore, unable to provide any guarantees for such third party content.
