Privacy Policy.

We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the publisher of this website: HS Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co.

3.Cookies

The Internet pages of the HS use cookies. Cookies are text files that are filed and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the HS can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

We also use cookies on our website, which enable an analysis of the surfing behavior of users.

The following data, among others, can be transmitted in this way:

Frequency of page views
Entered search terms
Use of website functions

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and their consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, there is also a reference to this data protection declaration. To obtain your consent to the use of cookies, we use the cookie consent tool provided by Wix HQ (6350671, Nemal Tel Aviv St 40, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel) - hereinafter "Wix". When you open the website, you will see a banner in which you can set or withdraw your consent. Applications that require cookies for use (such as our chat) are only loaded after consent.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR if the user has given their consent.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

Corion’s website collects a range of general data and information when an individual or an automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be controlled, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the HS does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and ( 4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by HS statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by an affected person.

In addition, the following personal data is also recorded, provided that the user concerned has given their express permission and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations:

First and last names of users
IP address of users
E-mail address of the users

The processing of personal data takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offer.

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. In order to improve our online offer, however, we save your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes e.g. B. the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. Due to the anonymization of the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person. The IP addresses of the user or other data that enable the data to be assigned to a user are not affected by this. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

For hosting and displaying this website, we use the website building kit from Wix HQ (6350671, Nemal Tel Aviv St 40, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel) - hereinafter "Wix". All data collected on this website is processed on Wix servers. The data can be transferred to Wix HQ in Israel or to Wix Inc. (Terry A. Francois Avenue 500, 94158, San Francisco, CA, USA). For a transfer to Israel, there is an EU recognition decision, according to which data protection in Israel is equivalent. If the data is transferred to the USA, Wix is registered with "privacy shield" and works according to the requirements of the GDPR.

5. SSL Encryption

In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the HS website, users may be given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.

The HS informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the person concerned if (1) the person concerned has a valid e-mail address and (2) the person concerned registers for the newsletter dispatch. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address, as the person concerned, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a person concerned at a later point in time and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the person responsible for processing.

The personal data collected as part of registering for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or a change in the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the person concerned has given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the person responsible for processing or to inform the person responsible for processing of this in another way.

Part of the content of our newsletter may contain promotional material.

Our e-mail newsletter is sent via the "Ascend" tool from the provider Wix HQ (6350671, Nemal Tel Aviv St 40, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel) - hereinafter referred to as "Wix". "Ascend" is an effective, secure and user-friendly message communication system. It is therefore in our legitimate interest to use this Wix service in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The data you provide when registering for the newsletter, as well as other technical data (e.g. IP address) will be transmitted to Wix. All data that is transmitted is processed on Wix servers. The data can be transferred to Wix HQ in Israel or to Wix Inc. (Terry A. Francois Avenue 500, 94158, San Francisco, CA, USA). For a transfer to Israel, there is an EU recognition decision, according to which data protection in Israel is equivalent. If the data is transferred to the USA, Wix is registered with "privacy shield" and works according to the requirements of the GDPR.

7. Newsletter tracking

The HS newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, HS can see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the person responsible for processing in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the person concerned. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the relevant separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for processing. The HS automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

8. Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the HS website contains information that enables quick electronic contact to our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a person concerned contacts the person responsible for processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the person concerned will be automatically saved. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

We offer a chat on our website to facilitate communication with our users. We use the chat tool from the provider Wix HQ (6350671, Nemal Tel Aviv St 40, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel) - hereinafter "Wix". For this purpose, anonymous data is collected and cookies are used. The cookies are only used if you give your express consent to their use in our cookie consent tool (more on this under the "Cookies" section of this data protection declaration). You can also withdraw consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, you may no longer be able to use the chat tool.

The data collected for the chat evaluation is transferred to Wix. All data that is transmitted is processed on Wix servers. The data can be transferred to Wix HQ in Israel or to Wix Inc. (Terry A. Francois Avenue 500, 94158, San Francisco, CA, USA). For a transfer to Israel, there is an EU recognition decision, according to which data protection in Israel is equivalent. If the data is transferred to the USA, Wix is registered with "privacy shield" and works according to the requirements of the GDPR.

16.Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you came to our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can reject the setting of a cookie required for this - for example by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies from the "googleleadservices.com" domain are blocked.

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she calls up websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, the visitor can be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google's remarketing function.

According to its own statements, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not wish to use Google's remarketing function, you can always deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Ad Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

18. Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

19. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is conducting our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

20. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline has expired, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.

21. Statutory or contractual requirements for providing the personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a person concerned makes personal data available to us, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

22. Change to Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always corresponds to the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply to your next visit.

23. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
