Wir unterhalten öffentlich zugängliche Profile in sozialen Netzwerken. Die im Einzelnen von uns genutzten sozialen Netzwerke finden Sie weiter unten.

Soziale Netzwerke wie Facebook, Google+ etc. können Ihr Nutzerverhalten in der Regel umfassend analysieren, wenn Sie deren Webseite oder eine Webseite mit integrierten Social-Media-Inhalten (z.B. Like-Buttons oder Werbebannern) besuchen. Durch den Besuch unserer Social-Media-Präsenzen werden zahlreiche datenschutzrelevante Verarbeitungsvorgänge ausgelöst. Im Einzelnen:

Wenn Sie in Ihrem Social-Media-Account eingeloggt sind und unsere Social-Media-Präsenz besuchen, kann der Betreiber des Social-Media-Portals diesen Besuch Ihrem Benutzerkonto zuordnen. Ihre personenbezogenen Daten können unter Umständen aber auch dann erfasst werden, wenn Sie nicht eingeloggt sind oder keinen Account beim jeweiligen Social-Media-Portal besitzen. Diese Datenerfassung erfolgt in diesem Fall beispielsweise über Cookies, die auf Ihrem Endgerät gespeichert werden oder durch Erfassung Ihrer IP-Adresse.

Mit Hilfe der so erfassten Daten können die Betreiber der Social-Media-Portale Nutzerprofile erstellen, in denen Ihre Präferenzen und Interessen hinterlegt sind. Auf diese Weise kann Ihnen interessenbezogene Werbung in- und außerhalb der jeweiligen Social-Media-Präsenz angezeigt werden. Sofern Sie über einen Account beim jeweiligen sozialen Netzwerk verfügen, kann die interessenbezogene Werbung auf allen Geräten angezeigt werden, auf denen Sie eingeloggt sind oder eingeloggt waren.

Bitte beachten Sie außerdem, dass wir nicht alle Verarbeitungsprozesse auf den Social-Media-Portalen nachvollziehen können. Je nach Anbieter können daher ggf. weitere Verarbeitungsvorgänge von den Betreibern der Social-Media-Portale durchgeführt werden. Details hierzu entnehmen Sie den Nutzungsbedingungen und Datenschutzbestimmungen der jeweiligen Social-Media-Portale.

Rechtsgrundlage

Unsere Social-Media-Auftritte sollen eine möglichst umfassende Präsenz im Internet gewährleisten. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein berechtigtes Interesse im Sinne von Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Die von den sozialen Netzwerken initiierten Analyseprozesse beruhen ggf. auf abweichenden Rechtsgrundlagen, die von den Betreibern der sozialen Netzwerke anzugeben sind (z.B. Einwilligung im Sinne des Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Verantwortlicher und Geltendmachung von Rechten

Wenn Sie einen unserer Social-Media-Auftritte (z.B. Facebook) besuchen, sind wir gemeinsam mit dem Betreiber der Social-Media-Plattform für die bei diesem Besuch ausgelösten Datenverarbeitungsvorgänge verantwortlich. Sie können Ihre Rechte (Auskunft, Berichtigung, Löschung, Einschränkung der Verarbeitung, Datenübertragbarkeit und Beschwerde) grundsätzlich sowohl ggü. uns als auch ggü. dem Betreiber des jeweiligen Social-Media-Portals (z.B. ggü. Facebook) geltend machen.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir trotz der gemeinsamen Verantwortlichkeit mit den Social-Media-Portal-Betreibern nicht vollumfänglich Einfluss auf die Datenverarbeitungsvorgänge der Social-Media-Portale haben. Unsere Möglichkeiten richten sich maßgeblich nach der Unternehmenspolitik des jeweiligen Anbieters.

Speicherdauer

Die unmittelbar von uns über die Social-Media-Präsenz erfassten Daten werden von unseren Systemen gelöscht, sobald der Zweck für ihre Speicherung entfällt, Sie uns zur Löschung auffordern, Ihre Einwilligung zur Speicherung widerrufen oder der Zweck für die Datenspeicherung entfällt. Gespeicherte Cookies verbleiben auf Ihrem Endgerät, bis Sie sie löschen. Zwingende gesetzliche Bestimmungen – insb. Aufbewahrungsfristen – bleiben unberührt.

Auf die Speicherdauer Ihrer Daten, die von den Betreibern der sozialen Netzwerke zu eigenen Zwecken gespeichert werden, haben wir keinen Einfluss. Für Einzelheiten dazu informieren Sie sich bitte direkt bei den Betreibern der sozialen Netzwerke (z.B. in deren Datenschutzerklärung, siehe unten).

On our website we use Pardot, a service of Salesforce.com, inc., SalesforceTower, 415 Mission Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, California, 94105, USA. The data processing takes place on our behalf on the basis of a data processing agreement that we have concluded with Salesforce. In this, Salesforce undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process them only on our behalf and, in particular, not to pass them on to third parties.

Pardot is a tool linked to our Salesforce CRM system for so-called marketing automation, with which we cover various aspects of our online marketing. We pursue the following purposes, among others:

• evaluate and optimize the use of our website,

We can use the usage profiles created by Pardot with your other customer data stored by us (e.g. name, professional contact details, information about your organization and your position, newsletters you have subscribed to, whitepaper downloads) as well as information from third-party providers (e.g. about your interactions with our social -Media presences) in order to address you individually, ie based on interests and usage.

Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e. through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:

ViscoTec Pumpen- u. Dosiertechnik GmbH
Amperstraße 13
84513 Töging a. Inn

Telephone: +49(0) 8631/9274-0
Email: dsb@viscotec.de

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal notification via e-mail. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption programme. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information about, blockage, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.”

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.” The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in section “Information Required by Law” to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

Cookies

In some instances, our website and its pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. The purpose of cookies is to make our website more user friendly, effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your leave our site. Other cookies will remain archived on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can adjust the settings of your browser to make sure that you are notified every time cookies are placed and to enable you to accept cookies only in specific cases or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific situations or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functions of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic communications transaction or to provide certain functions you want to use (e.g. the shopping cart function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimised provision of the operator’s services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing patterns) should be stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Declaration.

Cookie settings

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:

• The type and version of browser used
• The used operating system
• Referrer URL
• The hostname of the accessing computer
• The time of the server inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions.

Hence, the processing of the data entered into the contact form occurs exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You have the right to revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal notification via e-mail. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods.

Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Google Analytics

Demographic parameters provided by Google Analytics

This website uses the function “demographic parameters” provided by Google Analytics. It makes it possible to generate reports providing information on the age, gender and interests of website visitors. The sources of this information are interest-related advertising by Google as well as visitor data obtained from third party providers. This data cannot be allocated to a specific individual. You have the option to deactivate this function at any time by making pertinent settings changes for advertising in your Google account or you can generally prohibit the recording of your data by Google Analytics as explained in section “Objection to the recording of data.”

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online promotional program of Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In conjunction with Google Ads, we use a tool called Conversion Tracking. If you click on an ad posted by Google, a cookie for Conversion Tracking purposes will be placed. Cookies are small text files the web browser places on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we will be able to recognise that the user has clicked on an ad and has been linked to this page.

A different cookie is allocated to every Google Ads customer. These cookies cannot be tracked via websites of Ads customers. The information obtained with the assistance of the Conversion cookie is used to generate Conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted to use Conversion Tracking. The users receive the total number of users that have clicked on their ads and have been linked to a page equipped with a Conversion Tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow them to personally identify these users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you have the option to object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your web browser under user settings. If you do this, you will not be included in the Conversion Tracking statistics.

The storage of “Conversion” cookies and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising.

To review more detailed information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, please consult the Data Privacy Policies of Google at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Clickcease (Protection against click fraud)

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Clickcease, 18th Haarba’a Steet, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Clickcease uses so-called “cookies” and thereby collects, stores and processes information that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes: Browser type/browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request and the IP address. Clickcease searches this data for conspicuous behaviour and, if necessary, transmits suspicious data to Google in order to protect us from click fraud. In this process, it is possible that the collected data is processed and stored outside the European Union.

The collection of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its advertising offer and its advertising.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

YouTube with expanded data protection integration

Our website uses plug-ins of the YouTube platform, which is being operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

We use YouTube in the expanded data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data protection mode. For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube’s servers will be established. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device. With the assistance of these cookies, YouTube will be able to obtain information about our website visitor. Among other things, this information will be used to generate video statistics with the aim of improving the user friendliness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud. These cookies will stay on your device until you delete them.

Under certain circumstances, additional data processing transactions may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, this is a legitimate interest.

For more information on how YouTube handles user data, please consult the YouTube Data Privacy Policy under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Fonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts from Google Inc. for the uniform display of certain fonts. Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for the European region.

We have integrated the Google fonts locally, i.e. on our web server – not on Google’s servers. This means that there is no connection to Google servers and thus no data transfer or storage.

Google Maps

Via an API, this website uses the mapping service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To enable the use of the Google Maps features, your IP address must be stored. As a rule, this information is transferred to one of Google’s servers in the United States, where it is archived. The operator of this website has no control over the data transfer.

We use Google Maps to present our online content in an appealing manner and to make the locations disclosed on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For more information on the handling of user data, please review Google’s Data Privacy Declaration under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

What information do we collect an how do we use it?

We use Microsoft Teams to hold online meetings (conference calls, online presentations and webinars). Microsoft Teams is a service of Microsoft Corporation, situated in One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
When you use Microsoft Teams in communicating with ViscoTec, the following personal data may be processed:

• User information (first name, last name, telephone, email address, password, profile picture, department)
• Data about the meeting (topic, appointment, IP address, device/hardware information)
• Connection/telephone data (incoming/outgoing phone number, country name, start/end time

When using the chat or other similar function in a Teams meeting, the text entries you make are processed to display them in the online meeting, and if necessary, to log them.

To enable video and audio playback, data from your audio and video capture devices are processed for the duration of the meeting. You can turn off the camera or microphone at any time by using the Microsoft Teams user interface.

During our webinars, we will usually mute all participating from the state of the meeting, unless it is otherwise agreed to by all participants in advance of the webinar.

Automated decision-making or profiling is not used.

This data is processed outside the European Union.

Microsoft Corporation is a service provider located in the United States; therefore the processing of personal data may take place outside the European Union. ViscoTec has concluded a data processing addendum with Microsoft Corporation which guarantees an adequate level of protection for the data through the implementation of EU standard contractual clauses.

If you access the Microsoft Teams website to download the Microsoft Teams software, Microsoft Corporation is responsible for data processing. You can also use Microsoft Teams if you enter the respective meeting ID and any other access data for the meeting directly into the Microsoft Teams mobile application. If you do not want or cannot use the Microsoft Teams mobile application, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can find on the Microsoft Teams website. The privacy policy of Microsoft Teams can be found at https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-gb/privacystatement.

We reserve the right to change or adapt this data protection declaration at any time, taking into account the applicable data protection regulations. The current status is 03/05/2024.
