Privacy Policy

according to the legal requirements according to Art. 13, 14 DSGVO. 

In the following, we inform you according to Article 13 of the EU Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), respectively according to Article 14 DSGVO as far as there is no direct collection. We are happy to fulfill this obligation and inform you in detail and transparently about what personal data we may collect about you. The aim of the following explanations is to describe which data we process for which purpose and which rights you have in this regard. 

A. Overview of data processing on this website 

The responsible party for data processing on this website is: 

METROM Mechatronische Maschinen GmbH Schönaicher Str. 6 09232 Hartmannsdorf 

The responsible body decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, contact details or similar). 

We will not process any personal data from you if 

      • you have not given your express prior consent, 
      • the data processing is necessary for the performance or conclusion of a contract to which you are a party 
      • the data processing is carried out due to a legal obligation imposed on us or is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person, or interests of another person, or 
      • the processing of your data is necessary in order to protect overriding legitimate interests of us or another.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (for example, name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. 

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. All employees are bound to data secrecy, among other things. 

B. Detailed information on data processing 

As a website operator, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We process personal data collected during visits to our websites in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. Your data will neither be published by us nor passed on to third parties without authorization. 

With the simple bracket quotation of a regulation we want to express on the basis of which norm the data processing is justified, should personal data be processed during the respective procedure. 

I. Subject of data protection 

The subject of data protection is personal data. This is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 

Unless otherwise apparent from this document or other circumstances, we do not consider ourselves to be in a position to identify you. 

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. 

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis. 

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. 

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing. 

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract. 

II. Collection, use and storage of data when visiting our website 

When you visit our website, we receive your full IP address from your EDP. Only with this IP address we can transfer the data of our website to you, so that the website is displayed to you (Art. 6 para. 1 b and f DSGVO). The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to your computer. For this purpose, your IP address may have to remain stored for the duration of the session and will then be deleted. Since you have requested the website, this is in our common legitimate interest. We have to give your IP address to the internet providers in order to have the website data transferred to you. 

There is no possibility to object, as these processes are mandatory for the operation of the website. Please do not visit our site if you wish to object. 

Any use of your personal data will only be for the purposes stated and to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes. 

Personal data will only be transferred to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legal provisions or if the transfer is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the event of attacks on our network infrastructure. Data will not be passed on to third parties for other purposes.

You exercise your right of revocation by notifying us at our contact details according to the imprint.

VI. Your rights of access, rectification, blocking, deletion, completion, restriction and data portability 

You have the right: 

      • to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details; 
      • pursuant to Art. 16 DSGVO, to request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us without undue delay; 
      • pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO, to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; 
      • pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its erasure and we no longer require the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO; 
      • pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller; 
      • to revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) DSGVO. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future and 
      • complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 DSGVO. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace for this purpose. 
      • If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO, provided that there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which is implemented by us without specifying a particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, it is sufficient to send a message to the data according to our imprint

We explain your rights and limitations of your rights in more detail as follows: 

1. Right to information 

You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by us. 

If such processing is taking place, you may request information from the controller about the following: 

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed; 

(2) the categories of personal data which are processed; 

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed; 

(4) the planned duration of the storage of the personal data relating to you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period; 

(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing; 

(6) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority; 

(7) any available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject; 

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the DSGVO and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject. 

You have the right to request information about whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 DSGVO in connection with the transfer. 

2. Right to rectification 

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller, insofar as the processed personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out the rectification without undue delay. 

3. Right to restriction of processing 

You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions: 

(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; 

(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data; 

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or 

(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the DSGVO and it is not yet clear whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override your grounds. 

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State. 

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted. 

4. Right to deletion 

a) Obligation to delete 

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies: 

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. 

(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing. 

(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO. 

(4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully. 

(5) The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. 

(6) The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) DSGVO. 

b) Information to third parties 

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the DSGVO, it shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data. 

c) Exceptions 

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary for 

(1) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information; 

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; 

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the DSGVO; 

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or 

(5) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. 

5. Right to information 

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. 

You have the right against the controller to be informed about these recipients. 

6. Right to data portability 

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that. 

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) DSGVO and 

(2) the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures. 

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. 

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. 

7. General information on your right to object 

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. 

We will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims. 

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. 

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. 

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications. 

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law 

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. 

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling 

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision 

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller, 

(2) is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests; or 

(3) is made with your explicit consent. 

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the DSGVO, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests. 

With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include, at a minimum, the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision. 

VII. Links to websites of other providers 

Our websites may contain links to websites of other providers. We point out that this privacy policy applies exclusively to our websites. We have no influence on and do not control that other providers comply with the applicable data protection provisions. 

VIII. Data Protection Officer, Complaints, Responsible Entity 

In the event of complaints regarding data protection, you may contact the above-mentioned responsible body or the supervisory authority. Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have this right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the DSGVO. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 DSGVO.
