Data protection
Thank you for your interest in our company. We take data protection seriously.
You can use our website without providing any personal data. If a data subject wishes to make use of our company's services via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we always obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data (e.g. name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject) is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us.
With the following privacy policy, we would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. This privacy policy also informs data subjects about the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via our website is protected as completely as possible. However, data transmissions over the Internet can always contain security gaps. It is therefore not possible to guarantee 100% protection. For this reason, every data subject can of course also transmit personal data to us alternatively, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
This data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the GDPR (Article 4 GDPR). This privacy policy should be both easy to read and easy to understand for everyone. You can access the GDPR at the following link:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=DE
The aim of our privacy policy is to inform you in a simple and understandable way about the processing of your personal data on our websites and via our apps. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terms used. This privacy policy uses the following definitions, among others
‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “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, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

4. Deletion and blocking of personal data
We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this is provided for by the applicable laws to which the controller is subject.

5. Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use
a) When visiting the website
You can use our website without disclosing your identity. When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted
IP address of the requesting computer,
Date and time of access,
Name and URL of the retrieved file,
Website from which the access was made (referrer URL),
browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes
Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
analysing system security and stability and
for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed explanations on this in sections 9 and 11 of this privacy policy.
b) When using our contact form
For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on our website. It is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the enquiry and can answer it. Further information can be provided voluntarily. You are free to decide whether you wish to enter this data in the contact form.
Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.
The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after your enquiry has been dealt with.
6. Further information on the legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves Schött-Druckguß GmbH as the legal basis for processing operations for which consent must be obtained for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our services and products. If Schött-Druckguß GmbH is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In this case, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Furthermore, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Schött-Druckguß GmbH or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator (see recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
7. Consideration of legitimate interests
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, the legitimate interest of Schött-Druckguß GmbH is the performance and fulfilment of our business activities for the benefit of our employees and shareholders.
8. Forwarding of data
Your personal data will only be passed on by us to third parties to the service partners involved in the processing of the contract, such as the logistics company commissioned with the delivery and the credit institution commissioned with payment matters. However, in cases where your personal data is passed on to third parties, the scope of the data transmitted is limited to the minimum necessary.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned above.
We also only pass on your personal data to third parties if
you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
As part of the ordering process on our website, your consent to the transfer of your data to third parties is obtained.
9. contact form/email
If you choose to send us enquiries via the contact form on the website, the information from the form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of further questions. This data will not be passed on without your express consent.
The processing of the data entered by you in the contact form is therefore carried out in particular on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification, for example by e-mail, is sufficient for this purpose. In principle, the legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected. If contact is made without your express consent, e.g. by e-mail, the data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR for processing the contact enquiry and its handling.
All data provided by you will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. The latter is the case, for example, when your enquiry has been processed. The necessity of data storage is reviewed every two years. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, your data will be deleted after the respective expiry date. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods (6 years in the case of commercial law and 10 years in the case of tax retention obligations), naturally remain unaffected.
10. applications/application procedure
The person responsible for the processing of personal data collects and processes data from applicants for the purpose of handling the respective application procedure. Processing may also take place by means of electronic processing. This occurs in particular when an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, e.g. by e-mail or via a web form on the website to the data controller. If an employment contract is then concluded between the applicant and the data controller, the data will be processed and stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. The legal basis for the collection and processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 2 lit. b) GDPR. This legal basis is the legitimate interest in the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. A legitimate interest in this sense may, for example, be a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

However, we have no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. We are not responsible for the content of the linked pages and expressly do not adopt the content of these pages as our own. The provider of the linked website is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and for damages resulting from the use or non-use of the information. The liability of the person who merely refers to the publication by means of a link is excluded. We are only responsible for external references if we have positive knowledge of them, i.e. also of any illegal or criminal content, and if it is technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent their use.
13. Analysis and tracking tools
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

15. Rights of data subjects
You have the right
to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In particular, you can request information about the purposes of processing, 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 to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on its details;
in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to immediately request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us;
in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, to demand the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you refuse to delete it and we no longer need the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR;
in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller
in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, to revoke your consent given to us at any time. The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue the data processing that was based on this consent in the future and
to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or our company headquarters.
16. Right of objection
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, provided that there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which will be implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.
If you would like to exercise your right of cancellation or objection, simply send an email to
Datenschutzwiderspruch [at] Schoett-Druckguss.de
17. Data security
We use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser when you visit our website. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognise whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties.
