The websites of the Engineering Office Schüppen use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and 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 through which Internet pages and servers can be
assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was
stored. This allows visited websites and servers to
distinguish the individual's browser from other internet browsers that
contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

7. Privacy Policy for use and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization feature)
The controller has integrated on this website the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among
other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website an
affected person has come to a website (so-called referrers), which
subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for which length
of stay a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The
operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc.,
1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. By
means of this addendum, the IP address of the Internet access of the
data subject will be shortened and anonymised by Google if the access to
our website is from a Member State of the European Union or from
another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Among
other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate
the use of our website, to compile for us online reports showing the
activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the
use of our website.
Google Analytics uses a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By using this cookie Google is enabled to analyze the usage of our website. Each
time one of the pages of this website is accessed by the controller and
a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser
on the information technology system of the person concerned is
automatically initiated by the respective Google Analytics component To submit data to Google for online analysis purposes. As
part of this technical process, Google will be aware of personal data,
such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serve, among other
things, Google to track the origin of the visitors and clicks, and
subsequently make commission settlements possible.
The cookie
stores personally identifiable information, such as access time, the
location of which access was made, and the frequency of site visits by
the data subject. Each time you visit our website, your
personal information, including the IP address of the Internet
connection, is translated to Google in the United States of America. This personal information is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The
affected person can prevent the setting of cookies through our website,
as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the
Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of
cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would
also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology
system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie
already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the
Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore,
the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the
collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this
website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This
browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and
information about website visits may be transmitted to Google
Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If
the data subject's information technology system is later deleted,
formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must re-install the browser
add-on to disable Google Analytics. If
the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or
any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to
reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google's privacy policy can be found at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is
explained in more detail at
https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
8. Legal Basis of Processing
Art. 6 I lit. A
DS-GMO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations
where we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose. If
the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract of
which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in
processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision
of any other service or consideration, processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GMO. The
same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out
pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding
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 DS-GMO. In
rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect
the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This
would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were
injured and his or her name, age, health insurance 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 DS-GMO are based. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GMOs are based. On
this legal basis, processing operations that are not covered by any of
the above legal bases are required if processing is necessary to
safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party,
unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the
person concerned prevail. Such
processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have
been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In
that regard, it considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed
if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second
sentence, DS-BER).
9. Authorized interests in the processing that are being pursued by the controller or a third party
Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GMO is our legitimate interest in conducting our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.
10. Duration for which the personal Data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After
the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, if they
are no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a
contract.
11. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of 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 information is in part required
by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual
arrangements (such as details of the contractor). Occasionally
it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that an affected
person provides us with personal data that must subsequently be
processed by us. For
example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal
information when our company enters into a contract with her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be closed. Prior to any personal data being provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our
employee will inform the individual on a case-by-case basis whether the
provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is
required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an
obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of the
non-provision of the personal data.
12. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
