GENERAL INFORMATION

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our company and our products. The protection of your personal data is very important to HAHN Kunststoffe GmbH. We process personal data that is collected when you visit our online offers confidentially and only in accordance with the statutory provisions. It is important for us to inform you about which personal data is collected, how it is used and what options you have in this regard.

I. RESPONSIBLE PERSON

II. COLLECTION, PROCESSING AND USE OF PERSONAL DATA

1. CATEGORIES OF DATA PROCESSED
Communication data (e.g. name, telephone number, e-mail address, personal address, IP address) and / or usage data (e.g. session duration, browser and operating system) with and without personal reference can be processed.

2. PRINCIPLES
Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, e.g. names, addresses, telephone numbers or e-mail addresses that express the identity of a person. We collect, process and use personal data (including IP addresses) only if there is a legal basis for this or if you e.g. have given your consent when contacting us.

3. PROCESSING PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASES
We and service providers commissioned by us process your data for the following processing purposes:

Legal basis: Overriding legitimate interest on our part in direct marketing as long as this is done in accordance with data protection and competition law requirements.

Recipient: Technical service providers (e.g. hosting)

Answering user inquiries as part of a contact form
Legal basis: If you contact us via a contact form, your enquiry including all personal data (name, contact details, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (e.g. requesting a quote, arranging an appointment). In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in the effective processing of the enquiries sent to us. The data you send to us will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular legal retention periods - remain unaffected.

Recipient: HAHN Kunststoffe GmbH, Technical service providers

Legal basis: If you request our price list by e-mail, your request including all resulting personal data (name and contact details) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. This data may be forwarded to subsidiaries or dealers of the HAHN Group in your country. The processing of this data is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us.

4. TRANSFER OF DATA

Transfer of data to other responsible parties
Your personal data will only be transmitted by us to other responsible parties insofar as this is necessary to fulfil the contract (e.g. delivery with a shipping and logistics company), we or the third party have a legal requirement to pass it on (e.g. Customs clearance) or you have given your consent (e.g. forwarding of the data to subsidiaries or dealers of HAHN Kunststoffe). Details on the legal bases and the recipients or the categories of recipients can be found in the section "Processing purposes and legal bases" (see No. 2.3). In addition, data can be transmitted to other responsible parties, insofar as we are obliged to do so due to statutory provisions or an enforceable official or judicial order.

Service provider (general)
We commission external service providers who do not use the data themselves, with tasks such as marketing services, programming and data hosting under contract processing agreements. We have carefully selected these service providers and regularly monitor them, in particular their careful handling and protection of the data stored with them. All service providers are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with legal requirements. Other companies in the HAHN Group can also be service providers.

Transfer to recipients outside the EEA
The storage of data takes place predominantly within the EU or, if you have given your consent to the disclosure, in countries in which subsidiaries or dealers of HAHN Kunststoffe are based and in which there is a comparably high level of data protection.

Duration of storage and retention periods
In principle, we store your data for as long as is necessary to provide our online offer and the associated services or we have a legitimate interest in further storage (e.g. we can still have a legitimate interest in postal marketing, provided that local regulations permit). We then delete your personal data, with the exception of data that we have to continue to store to fulfil legal obligations (e.g. due to retention periods under tax and commercial law, we are obliged to keep documents such as contracts and invoices available for a certain period of time).

5. LOG-FILES
Each time you use the Internet, your Internet browser automatically transmits certain information and saves it in so-called log files. We store the log files for a period of 14 days to identify faults and for security reasons (e.g. to investigate attempted attacks) and then delete them. Log files, the further storage of which is necessary for evidence purposes, are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified and can be passed on to investigating authorities in individual cases. Log files are also used for analysis purposes (without or without a full IP address) subject to the requirements of Section 2.3 "In-house and third-party advertising as well as market research and reach measurement to the extent permitted by law or on the basis of consent".

In particular, the following information is stored in the log files:

IP address (Internet protocol address) of the device from which the online offer is accessed
Internet address of the website from which the online offer was accessed (so-called origin or referrer URL)
Name of the requested URL of our website (request URL)
Date of retrieval
Amount of data transferred
Information on the Internet browser used (user agent) including installed add-ons (e.g. for the Flash Player).

6. AGE REQUIREMENT
This online offer is aimed at adults. The resulting age limit is based on the regulations of the corresponding country or location from which our online offer is accessed.

III. USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

To optimise your website experience, we use cookies or similar technologies. These are small text files that are stored on your device.

1. MANAGEMENT OF COOKIES
When you visit our website, a cookie layer will appear asking you to set your cookie preferences by category. All non-essential cookies are blocked by default unless, and until, you give your explicit consent. Your cookie settings are stored for one month, after which you’ll be asked to confirm or update your preferences. This may happen sooner if you clear your browser cache, access the site in private mode, or if our cookie policy changes. You can review or update your preferences at any time by clicking the icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. From there, you can grant, withdraw, or modify your consent with effect for the future.

All relevant information on the respective cookies and cookie categories, for example, the purpose and scope of the processing, recipients, or storage duration, as well as the respective legal basis can be viewed directly in the cookie layer.

2. SWITCH OFF ALL COOKIES
You can manage your cookie settings individually in the browser. The settings you have made only relate to the browser used. If you want to turn off all cookies, please go to your browser settings and deactivate the setting of cookies. Please note that this can impair the functionality of the website.

3. SOCIAL NETWORKS
We maintain an online presence in social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with active users there or to provide information about us.

Detailed information on the respective platforms:

Facebook

4. GOOGLE FONTS
On our website we use Google Fonts from the company Google. The company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for the European region. We have integrated the Google fonts locally, e.g. on our web server - not on Google's servers. This means that there is no connection to Google servers and therefore won´t be any data transfer or storage.

IV. EXTERNAL LINKS

Our online offer may contain links to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. After clicking the link, we no longer have any influence on the collection, processing and use of any personal data transferred to the third party when the link is clicked (such as the IP address or the URL of the page on which the link is located), since the behaviour of third parties is naturally beyond our control. We are not responsible for the processing of such personal data by third parties.

V. SAFETY

Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are bound to secrecy and compliance with the provisions of the applicable data protection laws. We take all necessary technical and organisational measures to ensure an appropriate level of protection and to protect your data managed by us, in particular from the risks of unintentional or unlawful destruction, manipulation, loss, alteration or unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

VI. USER RIGHTS

To assert your rights, please use the information in the "Contact" section (see No. 8). Please make sure that we can clearly identify you.

1. RIGHT TO INFORMATION AND ACCESS
You have the right to receive information from us about the processing of your data. To do this, you can assert a right to information in relation to the personal data that we process about you.

2. RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION AND ERASURE
You can ask us to correct incorrect data. As long as the legal requirements are met, you can request the completion or deletion of your data. This does not apply to data that are required for billing and accounting purposes or are subject to statutory retention requirements. If access to such data is not required, their processing will be restricted (see below).

3. RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
If the legal requirements are met, you can request that we restrict the processing of your data.

4. DATA PORTABILITY

5. RIGHT TO OBJECT

Objection to direct marketing
You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time ("advertising objection"). Please note that, for organizational reasons, there may be an overlap between your objection and the use of your data in the context of an ongoing campaign.

Objection to data processing on the legal basis “legitimate interest“
You have the right to object to data processing by us at any time, provided this is based on the legal basis of "legitimate interest". We will then stop processing your data, unless we can - in accordance with the legal requirements - prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for further processing, which outweigh your rights.

6. REVOCATION OF CONSENT
If you have given us your consent to process your data, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the legality of processing your data until you withdraw your consent.

7. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY
