Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that
you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly
high priority for the management of the Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH. The use
of the Internet pages of the Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH is possible without
any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use
special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could
become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is
no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the
data subject.
The processing of personal
data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data
subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations
applicable to the Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH. By means of this data
protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public
of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and
process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data
protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the
Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH has implemented numerous technical and
organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data
processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may
in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed.
For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via
alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the
Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are
stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and
servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is
a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through
which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet
browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and
servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other
Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can
be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies,
the Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH can provide the users of this website with
more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie
setting.
By means of a cookie, the
information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind.
Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The
purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our
website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access
data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the
website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another
example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store
remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart
via a cookie.
The data subject may, at
any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a
corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently
deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at
any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible
in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting
of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may
be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general
data and information
The website of the Rudolf
Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH collects a series of general data and information when
a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and
information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the
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 referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to
the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the
Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar
data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our
information technology systems.
When using these general
data and information, the Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH does not draw any
conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1)
deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our
website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our
information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law
enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution
in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH
analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim
of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to
ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The
anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal
data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact possibility via
the website
The website of the Rudolf
Eckel Federnfabrik GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic
contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also
includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address).
If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the
personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such
personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data
controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data
subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties. Please note that data
transmission over the Internet (for example, when communicating via
e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.
6. Routine erasure and
blocking of personal data
The data controller shall
process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period
necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by
the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which
the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is
not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or
another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked
or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate
interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If
the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a
contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on
the data subject’s explicit consent, the Rudolf Eckel Federnfabrik 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 his or her point of view and contest the

8. Data protection for
applications and the application procedures
The data controller shall
collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the
processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out
electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits
corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the
website to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment
contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose
of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal
requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the
controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months
after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate
interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate
interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the
General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
9. Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the
controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a
social network.
A social network is a place
for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows
users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social
network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences,
or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related
information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of
private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operating company of
Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States.
If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the
Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2,
Ireland.
With each call-up to one of
the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was
integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data
subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding
Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of
all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this
technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our
website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is
logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to
our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on
our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component
and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the
data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website,
e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment,
then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account
of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives,
through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the
data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on
Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless
of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a
transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject,
then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account
before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection
guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection,
processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained
there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data
subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to
allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may
be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
10. Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with
anonymization function)
On this website, the
controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the
anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web
analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior
of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data
about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which
sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was
viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in
order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google
Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA
94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics
through Google Analytics the controller uses the application “_gat.
_anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of the Internet
connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when
accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another
Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google
Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the
collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website
and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and
to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition
of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is
enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the
individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and
into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on
the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit
data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online
advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of
this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal
information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google,
inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently
create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store
personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the
access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data
subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including
the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be
transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these
personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated
above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means
of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny
the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would
also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by
Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software
programs.
In addition, the data
subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are
generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as
well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any
such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under
the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser
add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and
information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google
Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection
by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later
deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall
the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was
uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to
their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the
reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the
applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further
explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
11. Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Twitter
On this website, the
controller has integrated components of Twitter. Twitter is a multilingual,
publicly-accessible microblogging service on which users may publish and spread
so-called ‘tweets,’ e.g. short messages, which are limited to 140 characters.
These short messages are available for everyone, including those who are not
logged on to Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to so-called followers of
the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user’s
tweets. Furthermore, Twitter allows you to address a wide audience via
hashtags, links or retweets.
The operating company of
Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA
94103, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of
the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller
and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Twitter
component of Twitter. Further information about the Twitter buttons is
available under https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. During the
course of this technical procedure, Twitter gains knowledge of what specific
sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose of the
integration of the Twitter component is a retransmission of the contents of
this website to allow our users to introduce this web page to the digital world
and increase our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is
logged in at the same time on Twitter, Twitter detects with every call-up to
our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on
our Internet site which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected through the Twitter component
and associated with the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the
data subject clicks on one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website,
then Twitter assigns this information to the personal Twitter user account of
the data subject and stores the personal data.
Twitter receives
information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our
website, provided that the data subject is logged in on Twitter at the time of
the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks
on the Twitter component or not. If such a transmission of information to
Twitter is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this
by logging off from their Twitter account before a call-up to our website is
made.
The applicable data
protection provisions of Twitter may be accessed under
https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=en.
12. Legal basis for the
processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR
serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain 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, when processing operations are necessary for the
supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on
Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which
are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the
case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject
to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as
for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)
lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to
protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company
and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have
to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing
would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could
be based on Article 6(1) 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
our company 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. Such processing operations are
particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the
European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed
if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
13. The legitimate
interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of
personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is
to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and
the shareholders.
14. Period for which the
personal data will be stored
The criteria used to
determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is
routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of
the contract or the initiation of a contract.
15. Provision of personal
data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter
into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data;
possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the
provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or
can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the
contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that
the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be
processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal
data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of
the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data
subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data
subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to
the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law
or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there
is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of
non-provision of the personal data.
16. Existence of automated
decision-making
As a responsible company,
we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
