Data Protection

Please read our declaration on data protection matters for the use of our website www.geiger-haag.de in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The responsible party is Geiger + Haag GmbH Spanntechnik, Industriestraße 11, 73463 Westhausen, Germany.

Preamble

The data processing carried out on this website is used to present the website content correctly to visitors and to ensure that they can contact us securely.

Collection/storage of process-related access data and its purpose

When our website is opened, a third-party provider is technically involved as required; the website is transmitted with the help of an internet server operator (hoster). The browser used on your end device automatically transmits data to this hoster’s server. This is process-related access data. This access data is temporarily kept in so-called log files. In these processes, the following types of data are recorded and stored until a deletion routine is carried out:

  • Date and time of website access
  • Browser type and, where applicable, the operating system and provider name
  • Name and URL of the accessed page/file
  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • IP address of the accessing host/client system
  • For referrals: the website from which access takes place via a link

The access data listed above is processed for the following purposes:

  • Provision and maintenance of a functioning website operation
  • Provision and maintenance of trouble-free website use and for administrative purposes

The legal basis under data protection law is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 GDPR. This means that we do not use this access data to draw conclusions about your person or to carry out profiling. Possible consequences of not providing access data would be that our website could not be accessed fully or in part and that our content could not be presented in the intended form.

Collection/storage of personal data via forms on the site

For contacting us or requesting information, our website gives you the option of corresponding with us via the forms provided. To allow us to answer the request, it is necessary to provide your surname, first name, function, email address, company and, if applicable, a callback number as well as a brief outline of the matter.

The processing of the contact data you provide is carried out solely on the basis of your voluntary consent. The personal data you enter in the form is deleted after your request has been completed. The transmission of personal data is protected by SSL encryption and the https transmission protocol; more about this is set out later in this declaration. You are not obliged to provide personal data. Discretion is part of our business model. If you send us personal data, we naturally handle it within the guidelines of the GDPR. Your data is generally not passed on to third parties without your express consent. Exceptions may arise only within the framework of a business relationship or contractual relationship, for example forwarding data to suppliers for the fulfillment of orders authorized by you. In these cases too, however, we use the personal data you provide confidentially and exclusively on the basis of your consent and for a specific purpose, such as an address for delivery of products. You have the right to receive information about any data stored about you, and you also have the right to correction, blocking and deletion. You have the right to withdraw any consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal. You can send withdrawals to us, for example, by email. If you otherwise enter data in one of our forms, you consent to us contacting you for the purpose stated above.

Cookies

Technically, the CMS system in the background of the website uses a so-called technical cookie. Technical cookies are small pieces of data that help the site accelerate and optimize browsing and use for users. During a session, the technology mainly uses so-called session cookies. These are automatically deleted after your visit. Temporary cookies are also used to improve user friendliness. These are placed on the device you use for a certain longer period, for example one week. If you visit our site again during this period, the site recognizes that you have visited before. This means that certain content does not need to be loaded again and certain settings do not need to be made again, which makes use of the site much easier.

Another cookie stores the information that you have accepted the cookie and is valid for 1 year to prevent the banner from being shown to you constantly.

Otherwise, we do not use any cookies that are not technically necessary – and certainly not for marketing purposes. In the interest of our customers.

Data security

To protect the transmission security of your data when entering it in a form, we use HTTPS encryption through an SSL certificate in line with the current state of the art. As a precaution, however, we point out that transmitting data on the World Wide Web can also involve security risks. Complete protection of data against access by hackers or industrial espionage is unfortunately not possible in every case today.
