3. 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 is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

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

Information about the responsible party

The party responsible for processing data on this website is:

Schütt GmbH & Co. KG
Gewerbeparkring 2,
35756 Mittenaar – Hesse, Germany
Phone: +49 (0) 2772 57566-10
Email: info@schuett-herborn.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names and email addresses.

Information about data transfer to the USA

Tools from companies based in the USA are integrated into our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the companies’ servers in the USA. The USA is not a safe third country under EU data-protection law. US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action as the affected person. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities, such as intelligence services, may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Revoking your consent to data processing

Many data-processing activities are possible only with your express consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before revocation remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED for direct marketing (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. This right is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will take place only where technically feasible.

SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL/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 site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at the address in the legal notice with questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at the address stated in the legal notice. This right applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify it. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
  • If processing your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it is clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data may—apart from being stored—be processed only with your consent, for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.

Objection to promotional emails

The use of contact details published as part of the legal-notice requirement to send unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby rejected. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.

Cookies

Our websites use cookies. Cookies are small text files that do not damage your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session or permanently on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Third-party cookies may also be stored on your device when you visit our site. These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party provider, such as cookies for payment services.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as shopping-cart functions or video display. Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies required for electronic communication, for providing specific functions you request, or for optimising the website are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of services. If consent to cookie storage has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude cookies generally or in certain cases, and to automatically delete cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website. If third-party cookies or cookies for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and, where applicable, request consent.

Server log files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

  • Browser type and version, and operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request and IP address
  • This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website; server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

Contact form

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

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is connected with fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if consent has been requested.

The data entered in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after the enquiry has been processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and enquiry, is stored and processed for the purpose of dealing with your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent. The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is connected with fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, it is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries or on your consent. The data remains with us until you request deletion, revoke consent or the purpose no longer applies. Mandatory retention obligations remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and tools

Google Web Fonts

This site uses web fonts supplied by Google for consistent font presentation. When a page is opened, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache. For this purpose, your browser must connect to Google’s servers, allowing Google to learn that this website was accessed through your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and consent may be revoked at any time. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font on your computer is used. More information can be found at developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service through an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To use Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. Google Maps is used in the interest of presenting our online services attractively and making the locations stated on the website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and consent may be revoked at any time. More information about the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Our own services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us, for example by email, post or online applicant form. Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that your data is collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data-protection law and all other statutory provisions and that it is treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us an application, we process the associated personal data, such as contact and communication data, application documents and notes from interviews, where this is necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-new), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, where you have given consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data is disclosed only to people involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the submitted data is stored in our data-processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we cannot make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you sent us on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months after the application process ends. The data is then deleted and physical application documents are destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of legal proceedings. If it is apparent that the data will be needed after the six-month period, for example because of pending or threatened litigation, deletion takes place only when the purpose for extended retention no longer applies. Longer retention may also occur if you have given consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we cannot make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. If included, all documents and information from your application are transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if suitable vacancies arise. Inclusion takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not connected to the current application process. You may revoke your consent at any time. In that case, the data in the applicant pool is deleted irrevocably unless statutory retention grounds apply. Applicant-pool data is deleted irrevocably no later than two years after consent is given.
