Privacy policy

Data protection is about organizing the handling of personal data in such a way that the rights of individuals are protected. Data protection is therefore both a general objective and a specific objective of Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG.

In order to achieve this goal, the entities responsible for processing personal data must comply with the provisions of EU legislation (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) and national data protection laws.

Personal data may only be collected and processed if this is permitted by the GDPR or another law. Key basic principles of the GDPR are:

• Lawfulness of processing, processing in good faith, transparency
• Earmarking
• Data minimization
• Correctness of data processing
• Memory limitation and deletion concepts
• Integrity and confidentiality

Responsible handling of personal data and risk-conscious use of IT systems and applications are further important goals of Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG.

Contact details of the data protection officer

You can reach our data protection officer at datenschutz@gueldner.com.

Purpose of data collection, data processing or data use

Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG produces special screws, CNC turned and milled parts, connecting elements and components that are manufactured according to pre-defined specifications.

The collection, processing or use of personal data serves to fulfill our corporate purpose or supporting secondary purposes, such as customer service.

Some of the data within our online offering is processed for security purposes and to ensure the error-free provision of content. Other data may be used to analyze user behavior, measure reach and for marketing purposes. Personal data is also processed to respond to contact requests and for communication purposes.

The content of our online offering is not specifically aimed at children.

Groups of data subjects and related data or data categories

The groups of persons affected are

• Current employees (gn)
• Former employees (gn)
• Applicants (gn)
• Customers (gn)
• Suppliers (gn)
• Service providers (gn)
• Other business partners (gn)

The data in question includes all personal data that is necessary to fulfill the respective purpose. Which specific data of the data subjects are processed is described in detail below.

Legal basis

The processing of personal data is only permitted if permitted by law, i.e. if there is a legal basis for it, or if the data subject has given their consent.

In our company, the processing of personal data is always carried out in accordance with legal regulations. As a rule, these are

• if consent to the processing of personal data has been given (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR),
• if personal data must be processed to fulfill a contract or to initiate a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR),
• if the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or
• if we process personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest or on the basis of a legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Special feature on the legal basis of data processing for contractual purposes

Das Angebot der Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG ist hauptsächlich auf Gewerbetreibende ausgerichtet. Daher gilt bei der Verarbeitung von personenbezogenen Daten für Vertragszwecke die Rechtsgrundlage, sofern nicht im Einzelfall anders festgelegt,

1. if you are a registered merchant or freelancer, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the data processing is for the purpose of performing the contract or pre-contractual measures with the data subject; or
2. if you are acting as an employee of a company, e.g. as an employee in purchasing, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, the legitimate interest of Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG is. The legitimate interest of Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG is the sale of its own goods and services, which is based in particular on the freedom to conduct a business and the freedom to choose an occupation.

For the sake of simplicity, the term "data processing for contractual purposes" is used below.

Potential recipients for data transmission

The potential recipients of transferred personal data are

• public authorities, insofar as a legal obligation exists,
• service providers and other business partners, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the respective purpose and a legal provision permits or requires this or the data subject has consented.

Data transfer to third countries or international organizations

If it becomes necessary to transfer data to third countries (countries outside the European Union) or to international organizations, this will only be done in the context of concluding or fulfilling contracts, provided that this does not conflict with the interests of the data subject worthy of protection and in compliance with all data protection regulations. Should we transfer your data to a third country or an international organization in certain cases, we will provide you with the necessary information for this case.

Standard deadlines for data deletion

The deletion of personal data is based on the applicable statutory or contractual regulations on data deletion and takes into account statutory or contractual retention obligations. These legal obligations arise from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO), among others. The retention and documentation periods stipulated therein extend up to ten years beyond the end of the business relationship or the pre-contractual legal relationship.

In addition, other statutory provisions may require a longer retention period, such as the preservation of evidence within the scope of statutory limitation periods. The usual limitation period is three years; in certain cases, however, limitation periods of up to 30 years or even longer may apply. Personal data that is not subject to a statutory or contractual retention or destruction obligation is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the fulfillment of the respective purpose.

Your rights with regard to data protection (Art. 12 ff. GDPR)

The data subject has various rights with regard to data protection. These rights are described below. To exercise these rights, the above-mentioned contact details can be used.

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you always have the right to free information about your personal data stored by the controller, including its origin, recipient and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Every data subject has the right to object to the processing of their data if the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or for direct marketing purposes. In the event of an objection to the processing of your personal data, we will examine your objection individually. If we are obliged under data protection law to erase your personal data due to your objection, we will do so in compliance with statutory retention obligations. The objection does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place prior to the objection.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or for the performance of a contract transmitted to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you wish the data to be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Obligation to disclose data

Every data subject has the right to know whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether the data subject is obliged to provide the personal data and the possible consequences of failure to provide it.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

If a data subject believes that their rights have been violated, they have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In matters of data protection, the competent supervisory authority is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. In principle, however, the data subject can also contact the supervisory authority of their place of residence or the place of the suspected infringement. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found under the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations can only be carried out with your consent. Once you have given your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. All you need to do is send an informal email to one of the email addresses listed above. The data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains lawful despite the withdrawal.

Use of your data for (direct) marketing purposes

Irrespective of your newsletter registration, we may use your data, in particular your e-mail address, for (direct) marketing purposes. This only happens if you have not objected to it. We would like to point out that you can object to the use of your data for (direct) marketing purposes at any time without incurring any additional costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, SSL or TLS encryption is used. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

Data processing for presentation and communication

Thanks to social networks, we can present our company to people who have an account on the respective network (hereinafter referred to as "users") as well as to all profile visitors without an account on the network (hereinafter referred to as "guest").

In the case of posts, your comment and our response may still be visible to all users of the social network or to all visitors.

Data processing for statistical and advertising purposes

When you visit our profile, the social network can record and analyze your visit and all other activities on the platform. This data is made available to us in the form of statistics and can be used by the social networks for advertising purposes, among other things.

If you have an account with the social network and are logged in while visiting our profile, the provider of the social network can link your activities with our profile to your account data and process them further.

Such an assignment can be made, for example, through the use of cookies, small text files that are stored on your device, or in connection with your IP address.

Data processing is generally used to create a profile of your interests and to use these profiles for advertising purposes. When a person visits certain websites, information about this visit is analyzed and the provider assigns interests to the visitor. Based on the assigned interests, the visitor is presented with advertisements. Such interest-based advertisements can be displayed by the provider both within and outside the websites of the social network.

The contact details of the social networks for exercising your rights as a data subject can be found in the section "Information on the social networks we use". In the case of data processing where both the provider of the social network and we are jointly responsible, you also have the right to assert your rights as a data subject against us.

This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter has been opened, which links have been clicked on or at what time the newsletter was read.

Brevo processes the following data as part of this performance measurement:

• Master data (e.g. name, address)
• Contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number)
• Meta and communication data (e.g. device information, IP address)
• Usage data (e.g. interests, access times)

You can revoke your consent to performance measurement separately at any time. If you do not wish to be analyzed by Brevo, you can deactivate the analysis in each newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter.

Legal basis

The processing of your data is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG). You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. However, the revocation has no influence on the legality of the data processing that took place before the revocation.

Storage period

The data that you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter, this data will be deleted.

Conclusion of a contract for order processing

We have concluded a contract with Brevo in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR, in which we oblige Brevo to protect customer data and not to pass it on to third parties.

The provider of these videos is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. When using YouTube, personal data may be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

All YouTube videos on our website are integrated in "extended data protection mode", which means that no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube as long as you do not play the videos. Data is only transferred when you play the videos. We have no influence on this data transfer. Before the transfer, you will be informed again that your data will be transferred to YouTube when you play the videos. This happens regardless of whether you have a YouTube user account that you are logged in to or whether you do not have a user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

If you do not want your data to be linked to your YouTube profile, you must log out of your Google account before playing the video. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising purposes, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

The legal basis for data processing by Sonderschrauben Güldner GmbH & Co. KG is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, your consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The revocation does not affect the legality of the previous data processing operations.
