We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH. The websites of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH can generally be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use particular services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH. Through this Privacy Policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy informs data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller responsible for processing, BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most comprehensive possible protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The Privacy Policy of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used.

In this Privacy Policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “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, identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for processing

The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or Member State law.

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by means of a statement or other clear affirmative action by which the data subject signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH

Breiter Wasmen 3

78247 Hilzingen

Germany

Tel.: 07731909790

3. Cookies

The websites of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string by means of which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers containing other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

Cookies enable us to optimise the information and offers on our website in the interests of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter access data every time they visit the website because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie used for a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket by means of a cookie.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the internet browser used and may therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully available.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH collects a range of general data and information whenever the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately ensuring an optimum level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Contact via the website

Due to legal requirements, the website of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH contains information that enables rapid electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, including a general electronic mail address (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller responsible for processing by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the controller responsible for processing is stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller responsible for processing processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

7. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

b) Right of access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored concerning them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

• the purposes of the processing
• the categories of personal data concerned
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
• where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
• the existence of a right to request rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them or restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
• the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
• where the personal data is not collected from the data subject: any available information as to its source
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as processing is not necessary:

• The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
• The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
• The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
• The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
• The personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.

Where one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay.

Where personal data has been made public by BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH and our company, as controller, is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH, taking account of available technology and implementation costs, shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested those controllers to erase any links to, copies of or replications of such personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The employee of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in each individual case.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH at any time.

g) Right to object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

In the event of an objection, BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH processing data for direct marketing purposes, BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH will no longer process the personal data for such purposes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH or another member of staff directly. Furthermore, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, BÖGLE Stanztechnik GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.

If a data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

8. Data protection provisions relating to the use of Jetpack for WordPress

The controller has integrated Jetpack into this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that provides the operator of a WordPress-based website with additional functions. Among other things, Jetpack enables the website operator to obtain an overview of visitors to the site. By displaying related posts and publications or by enabling content to be shared on the site, visitor numbers may also be increased. Jetpack also includes security functions, meaning that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimises and accelerates the loading of images integrated into the website.

The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Business Centre, No.1 Lower Mayor Street, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, Ireland.

Jetpack places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and containing an integrated Jetpack component is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the relevant Jetpack component to transmit data to Automattic for analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, Automattic obtains knowledge of data that is subsequently used to compile an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way is used to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who has accessed the controller’s website and is evaluated with the aim of optimising the website. Data collected via the Jetpack component is not used to identify the data subject without first obtaining separate explicit consent from the data subject. The data is also made available to Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.

As explained above, the data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the internet browser used and may therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the internet browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from placing a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, cookies already placed by Automattic may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by the Jetpack cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Automattic/Quantcast. To do so, the data subject must press the opt-out button at https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set as a result of the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject’s system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must access the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.

However, setting the opt-out cookie may mean that the controller’s websites are no longer fully usable by the data subject.

The applicable privacy policy of Automattic is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. The applicable privacy policy of Quantcast is available at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.

9. Data protection provisions relating to the use of Matomo

The controller has integrated the Matomo component into this website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analytics. Web analytics involves the collection, gathering and evaluation of data concerning the behaviour of website visitors. A web analytics tool collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject arrived at a website (the so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimise a website and to carry out cost-benefit analyses of internet advertising.

The software is operated on the controller’s server, and the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyse visitor traffic on our website. The controller uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of this website and to compile online reports showing activity on our websites.

Matomo places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, we are able to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for online analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which enables us, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.

The cookie stores personal information such as the time of access, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time our websites are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.

As explained above, the data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the internet browser used and may therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting would also prevent Matomo from placing a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already placed by Matomo may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Matomo relating to the use of this website. To do so, the data subject must enable “Do Not Track” in their browser.

However, setting the opt-out cookie may mean that the controller’s websites are no longer fully usable by the data subject.

Further information and Matomo’s applicable privacy policy are available at https://matomo.org/privacy/.

10. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which our company obtains consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the supply of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured at our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information then had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed where the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

11. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

12. Period for which personal data is stored

The criterion used to determine the period for which personal data is stored is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely erased, provided that it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

13. Statutory or contractual requirements to provide personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information concerning the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to enter into a contract, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, they must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, whether it is necessary for entering into the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the possible consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be.

14. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
