III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We only process our users' personal data if this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services, if you have given your consent or if processing is permitted for other legitimate interests.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Section 25 para. 1 TTDDG serve as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing operations are absolutely necessary for the provision of a requested service, Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDDG serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased 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 fulfillment of a contract.

IV. Rights of the data subjects

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by the controller.

If such processing has taken place, you can request the following information from the controller:

  • the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  • the categories of personal data that are processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
  • the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the duration of storage;
  • the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
  • the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  • all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Art. 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.

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

2. Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.

3. Right to restriction of processing

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

  • 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;
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  • if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed - apart from being stored - 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 of a Member State.

If 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 erasure

a) Obligation to delete

You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

  • The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  • The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.

The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

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) GDPR, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary

  • to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by 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;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
  • 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 concerning you have 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 to be informed about these recipients by the controller.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be impaired by this

The right to data portability does not apply to the 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. Right of objection

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

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

Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option of exercising your right to object in connection with the use of information society services 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 withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

9. Automated decision-making 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 is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  • is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  • with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or b GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in 1. and 3. above, the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least 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.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with 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 pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

V. Provision of the website, transfer to third countries

We provide you with logyc and our website on a Microsoft Azure environment, a service of Microsoft Ireland Ltd, Dublin, which we have integrated as a processor in compliance with data protection regulations. Your IP address is processed for the delivery of the website with logyc, as otherwise the service could not be provided to you. This data processing is permissible in the case of a direct contract with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR; if you use logyc as an employee or service provider for one of our customers, the processing is permissible due to legitimate interests in the provision of services (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR), provided that we do not process the data as a processor.

Even if the data is stored in the EU in accordance with our contractual agreement, it may be accessed from third countries, particularly in the context of support measures. This is secured by the agreement of EU standard contractual clauses with Microsoft, especially since the parent company of Microsoft Ireland Ltd. in the USA is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus an EU adequacy decision applies to transfers to the USA.

VI. Use of cookies

When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to provide our services, such as the user login, and to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change.

2. Purpose of data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to enable and simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be recognized even after a page change.

The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the setting of technically necessary cookies is Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG.

4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time.

VII. Contact with us

1. Description and scope of data processing

There is a contact form on our website and you have the option of communicating with us via messages. If you use this option to contact us electronically, the data you enter in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

In order to process your entry and get in touch with you, we sometimes ask for some mandatory information.

The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Purpose of data processing

The processing of personal data from the input mask serves solely to process the contact.

The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent, or, depending on the communication request, the initiation or fulfillment of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) or our legitimate interest in the targeted communication initiated by you (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected and there are no longer any statutory retention obligations. For personal data from electronic communication, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. Statutory retention periods arise in particular when commercial letters are involved, for example because a conversation is directly linked to a commercial transaction; in this case, we are legally obliged to retain them for 6 years.

5. Possibility of objection and removal

The user has the option to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data for the future at any time. If we process the data from the conversation for legitimate interests, the user can object to the storage of their personal data for the future. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case, provided there are no statutory retention rights or obligations.

VIII. logyc Software

With logyc - Log Your Coolant - we offer customers a software-as-a-service application for recording and documenting measurement results in the context of the industrial use of cooling lubricants and other fluids in industrial production. Each customer receives their own client, a separate unit in terms of organization and safety. To use the application, personalized user accounts are created for each client, usually with the professional e-mail address as the user ID and using the first and last name of the respective user.

Each user is stored as such in the client and is recognizable to all other users of the client. The application logs which data the user has generated or tasks the respective user has performed and with which results or comments (so-called logs). This data enables the traceability of task fulfillment and transparent clarification of queries to the person performing the task. Experience has shown that this option is essential in order to achieve the best possible results.

For security reasons, we document failed login attempts in logyc.

All this is necessary for the best possible functioning of the software and is required in each case for the legitimate interests of the customer (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) or for the fulfillment of the respective employment relationship (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR). In the case of processing for legitimate interests, users can object to this on grounds relating to their particular situation. In the event of a justified objection, processing will no longer take place in the future, but the application can then no longer be used by this user in the same way. Oemeta Chemische Werke GmbH acts as a processor for the customer on the basis of a data protection-compliant data processing agreement.
