General information

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.

We are responsible for data processing on this website and in our company:

Noordtec GmbH & Co. KG
Burgstraße 69

General Information

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails via the Internet, you must always be aware that unauthorized third parties may access your data. There is no complete protection against such unauthorized access. However, we make every effort to protect your data in the best possible way and to close security gaps as far as possible.

An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.

How long do we store your data?

In some sections of this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If this information is not present, we will store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or revoke your consent to the data processing.

In the event of an objection or revocation, we may, however, continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling reasons worthy of protection for the continued processing of your data that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms (only in the event of an objection to the data processing; if the objection is directed against direct advertising, we may not put forward any reasons worthy of protection).

The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (This does not apply if your objection is to direct marketing.).

We are legally obliged to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the condition(s) no longer applies/apply.

Data transfer to the USA

We also use tools on our website from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it and, if necessary, process it further there. This is especially important to you because your data does not enjoy the same protection in the USA as it does within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. The US authorities, e.g. intelligence services, may therefore process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Data protection officer

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company:

Noordtec GmbH & Co. KG
Burgstraße 69
26655 Westerstede

Telephone: +49 (0) 4488 76496 -32
EMail: datenschutz@noordtec.de

Your rights

Objection to the data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THAT THESE ARE THUS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT TAKES PLACE ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE CONDITION IS THAT YOU CITE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. A JUSTIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:

• WE CAN GIVE COMPELLING REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT ARE WORTHY OF PROTECTION AND THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

• THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.

THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS TO DIRECT MARKETING OR TO PROFILING THAT IS RELATED TO THIS.

Other rights

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations take place based on you giving your consent. You do this, for example, by ticking the appropriate box for online forms before you send the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You may withdraw your consent at any time without providing a reason. (Art 7 para. 3 GDPR). From the moment of the revocation, we may no longer process your data. The only exception is if we are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist particularly in tax and commercial law.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your place of residence, your place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right of appeal exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, provided to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format, if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another data controller if this is technically possible.

Right to data access, deletion and correction

In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to correction (Art. 16 GDPR); under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR you may request that we delete the data.

Right to the restriction of processing

In certain situations, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. The data may then, apart from being stored, only be processed as follows:

• with your consent

• to assert, exercise or defend legal claims

• to protect the rights of another natural or legal person

• for reasons of an substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State

The right to a restriction of the processing exists in the following situations:

• You have contested the accuracy of the personal data we have stored about you, and we need time to verify this. Here, the right exists for the duration of the verification process.

• The processing of your personal data is unlawful or has been unlawful in the past. Here, an alternative right exists to the deletion of the data.

• We no longer require your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. Here, an alternative right exists to the deletion of the data.

• You have objected in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and now your and our interests must be weighed up against each other. Here, the right exists as long as the result of the weighing has not yet been determined.

Data collection on this website

Use of cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that serve a variety of purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to work at all (essential cookies). Others are needed to be able to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies, it would not be possible to use the advantages of a shopping basket in an online shop. Other cookies serve to analyse user behaviour or to optimise advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you visit the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. This means as soon as you close the browser, they disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This may, for example, lead to your user behaviour being continuously analysed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:

• Do you want to be informed when cookies are placed?

• Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain scenarios?

• Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close the browser?

If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, this may limit the website’s functionality.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in the context of this privacy policy. We also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offerings can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, provided that you give us your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when your consent was requested, these cookies will also be stored exclusively based on you giving your consent.

Where can you find more information about data protection at Cookiebot?
https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/

How do we process your data?

We use Cookiebot to obtain your consent to the storage of cookies on your device and to document them in accordance with data protection. If you visit our website and close the Cookiebot cookie window with the request for consent, the following data will be transmitted to the company:

• Your IP address in anonymised form

• Date and time of consent

• Your browser’s user agent

• The URL from which the consent was sent

• An anonymous, random and encrypted key

• Your consent status, which serves as proof of consent

In addition, Cookiebot will store a cookie on your browser in order to be able to assign the given consents or their revocation to your browser. All collected data will be stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Cookiebot cookie or ask us to delete the data. This will only not apply, if we are legally obliged to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

To use certain cookies, we are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors. To meet this obligation, we use Cookiebot. The legal basis of the described data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR

Server log files

Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, after a short time, this will be anonymised by the provider, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:

• Browser type and version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Host name of the accessing computer

• Time of server request

• IP address (anonymised if necessary)

We do not combine this data with other data, rather, we only use it for statistical evaluations and to improve our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs error-free. It is also in our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymised overview of when our website is accessed. The data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Contact form

You can send us a message via the contact form on this website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves to implement pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is in our legitimate interest to process requests addressed to us effectively. The legal basis of the described data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

Request by email, telephone or fax

You can send us a message by email or fax or call us.

How do we process your data?

We store your message as well as your personal contact information or the transmitted telephone number in order to be able to process your request, including follow-up questions. Without your consent, we will not pass on the data to other persons.

We will delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:

• Your request has been fully processed.

In addition, the tool can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions, e.g. click on links or make purchases. Once your IP address has been anonymised, the data collected is stored exclusively on our server.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviours for the purpose of optimising our website and the advertising placed there.

Furthermore, we can place targeted advertisements on the basis of the user data available to Google, e.g. location data and interests (target group targeting). We evaluate the data collected quantitatively, for example by analysing which search terms led to our advertisements being displayed and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.

Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

YouTube (with extended data protection)

What is YouTube?
Video platform

Who is processing your data?
Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland

Where can you find more information about data protection at YouTube? https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

How do we process your data?

You can watch YouTube videos on our website. As the provider of YouTube, Google collects and stores certain information about you. Since we use YouTube in extended data protection mode, this only happens when you start a video. Specifically, in this case, the following happens:

1. Google’s servers are informed about which of our pages have been visited from your device. If you are logged into your YouTube account while browsing, Google can assign your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. If you do not want this, you must log out of your YouTube account before continuing to browse the Internet.
2. Google receives information about visitors to our website via cookies, device fingerprinting or similar recognition technologies. The company uses this to then create video statistics, make its application more attractive to users and prevent fraud attempts.
   
3. If necessary, your data may also be further processed. However, these details are beyond our knowledge. We also have no influence over the processing.
   

Even if you do not start a YouTube video on our website, Google establishes a connection to its DoubleClick network and, possibly, to other partners. Thus, the extended data protection mode does not mean that Google does not process any data about you when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By integrating YouTube videos, we want to make our website as well as our services and offers more attractive. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. From the moment of the revocation, we may no longer process your data.

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally, so that there is no connection to Google’s servers when you visit our website.

More information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

OpenStreetMap

What is OpenStreetMap?
OpenStreetMap Foundation map service

Who is processing your data?
OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF), 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom

Where can you find more information about data protection at OpenStreetMap? https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

How do we process your data?

We use maps from the OpenStreetMap Foundation on our website. This means that your IP address and information about your browsing behaviour are forwarded to the foundation and stored there when you visit our website. The foundation leaves cookies on your device for this purpose or uses comparable recognition technologies. If you have allowed your location to be determined in the settings of your device, OpenStreetMap will also store this data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

The OpenStreetMap maps ensure that the locations specified on our website are easier to find for visitors. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. The data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR legal.

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. From the moment of the revocation, we may no longer process your data.

Proprietary services/other

Handling of applicant data

If you would like to work for us, we would be very happy to receive your application. We treat all transmitted personal data as strictly confidential. This also applies to data that we only collect later on during the course of the application process.

How do we process your data?

We store and use all data that we collect as part of the application process insofar as this is necessary to come to a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. In addition to contact and communication data as well as the application documents, this also applies, for example, to any notes that we take during job interviews. Within our company, we only pass on your data to persons who are involved in the processing of your application.

If the application is successful, we will store that data in our data processing systems which is necessary to implement the employment relationship.

If we are unable to offer you a suitable position at the time, we will be happy to include your data in our applicant pool, provided you give your consent. This gives us the opportunity to contact you if a position becomes available that matches your profile.

How long do we store your data for?

If we are unable to offer you a job, or if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain your documents and other application data for up to 6 months after the application process has ended. The reason is that we may need the data for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. Once this period has expired, we will delete the data and destroy the documents. If a legal dispute is actually threatened or is already pending, we will delete the data and documents once they are no longer needed for evidence purposes.

We will delete data in the applicant pool no later than 2 years after consent has been given. If you revoke your consent before the end of this period, we will delete it earlier.

The deletion of your data always requires that we are not legally obliged to retain it for longer.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We process your applicant data on the basis of Section 26 BDSG-neu [new German Federal Data Protection Act] (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (general contract initiation).

The same applies if your application is successful.

If we are unable to offer you a job, or if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we have a legitimate interest in using your data for evidence purposes in a possible legal dispute. The data processing is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you have expressly consented to the storage of your data, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent with future effect at any time.
