Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Stolz Mould Service GmbH. In principle, the use of Stolz Mould Service GmbH’s website is possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain the data subject’s consent.

The processing of personal data—such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject—shall always be carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Stolz Mould Service GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller responsible for processing, Stolz Mould Service GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, e.g., by telephone.


1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Stolz Mould Service GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the GDPR. Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements of that natural person.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller / person responsible for processing

Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which the data subject signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them by a statement or by a clear affirmative action.


2. Name and address of the controller

Controller within the meaning of the GDPR and other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, as well as other provisions with data protection character, is:

Stolz Mould Service GmbH
Am Sportzentrum 2
35075 Gladenbach
Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 6462 40941-0
Email: info@mould-service.de
Website: www.stolz-mould-service.de


3. Cookies

The websites of Stolz Mould Service GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many 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 string of characters which enables websites and servers to assign the cookie to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other browsers that contain other cookies. A specific browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Stolz Mould Service GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the user’s interest. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to facilitate the use of our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter access data each time the website is visited, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

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


4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Stolz Mould Service GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages accessed on our website, (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 for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, Stolz Mould Service GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, these anonymized data and information are evaluated statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymized data in the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.


5. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or a retention period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.


6. Rights of the data subject

a) Right of confirmation

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

b) Right of access

Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about personal data stored concerning them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain the following information:

  • the purposes of the processing
  • the categories of personal data concerned
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing
  • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and—at least in those cases—meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed—including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as processing is not necessary:

  • the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed
  • the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing
  • the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR
  • the personal data have been unlawfully processed
  • the personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject
  • the personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR

If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Stolz Mould Service GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time, who will ensure the request is complied with without undue delay.

If Stolz Mould Service GmbH has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase personal data, Stolz Mould Service GmbH shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable measures—also of a technical nature—to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, copies, or replications of these personal data, insofar as processing is not required.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

  • the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy
  • the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes erasure and requests restriction instead
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims
  • the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, pending verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject

f) Right to data portability

Each data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right, when exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

g) Right to object

Each data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them that is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

Stolz Mould Service GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where Stolz Mould Service GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Stolz Mould Service GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Stolz Mould Service GmbH will no longer process personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Each data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law and that law provides suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

Where the decision is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract or is based on explicit consent, Stolz Mould Service GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

i) Right to withdraw consent

Each data subject has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.


7. Data protection for applications and the application procedure

The controller collects and processes personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits application documents electronically, e.g., by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data shall be stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless erasure conflicts with other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).


8. Data protection provisions on the use of Google Maps

We use “Google Maps” on our website, an online mapping service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.

By visiting our website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant subpage of our website. Your IP address is transmitted in the process. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out beforehand. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the demand-oriented design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) in order to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website.

We use Google Maps in order to be able to display interactive maps from Google Maps and thereby provide you with a better user experience. This also constitutes our legitimate interest.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google.

Google has submitted to the Privacy Shield agreement concluded between the European Union and the USA and has certified itself accordingly. By doing so, Google undertakes to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection law. Further information is available via the entry linked below:
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policies. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options to protect your privacy:

9. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR 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 for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, for processing operations required for delivery of goods or provision of any other service, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, e.g., inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR). Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing is permitted in particular because the European legislator stated that a legitimate interest may be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).


10. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

Where processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.


11. Duration for which personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period expires, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, unless they are still required for contract performance or initiation.


12. Statutory or contractual provisions for providing personal data; necessity for contract conclusion; obligation to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (e.g., details about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. Before providing personal data, the data subject may contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for contract conclusion, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences non-provision would have.


13. Existence of automated decision-making

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


This privacy policy was created by the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, acting as external data protection officer in Bremen, in cooperation with the lawyer specializing in data protection law Christian Solmecke.


Notice regarding data transfers to third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, and transfers to US companies that are not DPF-certified

We use, among other tools, tools from companies based in third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We note that an adequate level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are not considered secure.

We also note that, in principle, the USA is considered a secure third country and generally provides a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU–US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or provides appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.


Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

Cloudflare

We use the service “Cloudflare”. The provider is Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“Cloudflare”).

This enables Cloudflare to analyze the data traffic between your browser and our website and to act as a filter between our servers and potentially malicious internet traffic. Cloudflare may use cookies or other technologies to recognize internet users, but only for the purpose described here.

The use of Cloudflare is based on our legitimate interest in providing our online offering as error-free and secure as possible (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Details can be found here:

Processing under contract

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the service mentioned above. This is a contract required under data protection law to ensure that Cloudflare processes personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.


Contact form

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.


Inquiry by email, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us as part of contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after the request has been processed).

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data is treated confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you submit an application, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes made during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and—if you have given consent—Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Within our company, your personal data is only shared with persons who are involved in processing your application. If your application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Retention period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject an offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data transmitted by you on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal). The data will then be deleted and physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will take place only once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. In that case, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies. Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application procedure. You can revoke your consent at any time. In that case, the data will be irreversibly deleted from the applicant pool, unless statutory retention reasons apply. Applicant pool data will be irreversibly deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
