Privacy Notice

Storage of access data

You can visit our web pages without disclosing any personal information. We only automatically store access data in server log files each time our website is accessed. At the time of access, the following data is collected and stored:

– IP address

– Browser type and browser version

– The date and time of the request

– The name of the requested file

– File name from which the file was requested

– Transferred data volume and access status

– A description of the web browser and operating system used

– The name of your Internet service provider

This data is collected exclusively to ensure the trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our services. An evaluation takes place exclusively for statistical purposes and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person. Temporary storage of IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer.

The legal basis for temporary storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. We store the IP address transmitted by your web browser for a strictly earmarked period of seven days in the interest of being able to detect, limit and eliminate attacks on our web pages. After this period has expired, we delete or make the IP address anonymous. The further access data are evaluated exclusively to ensure a permanent and trouble-free operation of the website and to improve the contents of our website as well as for transmission to law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyber attack and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned. These purposes also encompass our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. We evaluate this anonymously collected data and information statistically with the aim of increasing our data protection and data security. 

Recipients of data and integration of service providers outside the EU/EEA

Ihre personenbezogenen Daten werden im Zusammenhang mit der Registrierung für bestimmte Newtron Services ggf. an unterstützende Dienstleister weitergegeben. Diese unterstützenden Dienstleister werden entweder im Rahmen einer Auftragsverarbeitung streng weisungsgebunden tätig und sind über einen entsprechenden Vertrag zur Auftragsverarbeitung gem. Art. 28 DSGVO datenschutzrechtlich verpflichtet oder wir übermitteln Ihre personenbezogenen Daten auf Basis einer Rechtsgrundlage des Art. 6 Abs. 1 DSGVO. Soweit die unterstützenden Dienstleister ihren Sitz außerhalb der EU/des EWR haben, haben wir mittels geeigneter Garantien die Rechtmäßigkeit der Datenübermittlung sichergestellt (z.B. durch einen entsprechenden EU-Standardvertrag nach Art. 46 Abs. 2 lit. c DSGVO)

COOKIES

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. If a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a distinctive character string that enables unique identification of the browser when the website is accessed again.

Your data collected on our website will be pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to you. The data is not stored together with your other personal data. The legal basis for processing personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser when you visit the site again.

Therefore, as a user you have full control of the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. However, if cookies are deactivated for our website, we would like to point out that not all functions of the website may be fully usable.

Here you can download a list of all and manage your cookies.

Registration on our website

You can register on our website by entering your personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to us is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use (allocation of a contact person to the registered trading company – the name, email and a telephone number are collected and stored for this purpose). We can arrange for the transfer to one or more contract processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use.

By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable us to investigate criminal offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless required to do so by law or for the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The purpose of registration is to offer you content or services that can only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data given at registration at any time or to delete it completely from the database of the data processor.

The legal basis for the personal data processed within the framework of registration is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

Contact options

Due to legal regulations, we have our email addresses of the various locations available on our website, which enable rapid electronic contact with us and direct communication with us.

In the event of contact via email, the information provided by the user is automatically stored for the purpose of processing his contact. The other personal data processed during contact serve to prevent misuse of the email account and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. We will not compare the data collected during newsletter registration with any other data that might be collected by other components of our site. In the event of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data that was sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has been completed. The conversation will have ended when it is evident from the circumstances that the matter at hand has been conclusively resolved.

GOOGLE MAPS

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. This is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate locating the places we specify on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6, Para. 1 (f) GDPR.

Further information about the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social media plug ins

For data protection reasons, we do not integrate social plug-ins directly into our website. When you visit our pages, no data is therefore transmitted to social media services such as Twitter, XING, LinkedIn or YouTube. Profiling by third parties is thus excluded.

You can still share selected pages by clicking Twitter, XING or Google+ buttons.

TWITTER

Functions of the Twitter service are integrated into our site. These functions are provided by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. When you use Twitter and the “Retweet” function, the websites you visit are connected to your Twitter account and made known to other users. In the process, data will also be transferred to Twitter.

We would like to point out that, as the provider of these web pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data that is transmitted or how it will be used by Twitter. For more information, please see Twitter’s privacy policy: http://twitter.com/privacy.

Your data protection preferences with Twitter can be modified in your account settings at https://twitter.com/account/settings.

LINKEDIN

Our site uses functions from the LinkedIn network. The service is provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Every time you visit our website, a connection to the LinkedIn servers is automatically established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our webpages from your IP address. If you use the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, it is possible for LinkedIn to associate your visit to our website to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data that is transmitted or how it will be used by LinkedIn.

For more information, please see LinkedIn privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

XING

Our website uses functions of the XING network, operated by XING AG, Dammtorstrasse 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany, and in particular the XING service kununu, operated by kununu GmbH, Fischhof 3 Top 7, A – 1010 Vienna. The plug-ins can be recognised by the respective logos. Every time one of our pages is accessed, which contains a corresponding plug-in, a connection to the XING servers is automatically established. The plugin is transmitted directly to the browser by XING and integrated into the page. Therefore we have no influence on the data collected by means of this plug-in. To the best of our knowledge, no personal data is stored in the process. In particular, no IP addresses are stored, nor is usage behavior evaluated.

Further information on data protection and the XING Share button can be found in XING’s privacy policy: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection

YOUTUBE

Our website uses plug-ins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

When you visit our website, which is equipped with a YouTube plug-in, a direct connection to the YouTube servers is established.

If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. We do not collect any personal data using the social plugins or about how they are used.

You can find further information about handling user data in the YouTube Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies (for cookies see above), which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to, and stored by, Google, on servers in the United States. The USA is an unsafe third country. However, Google Inc. has voluntarily certified itself under the US-EU data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” and has thus committed itself to comply with EU data protection regulations. The legal basis for processing is your consent under Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR. Google Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, in particular from which website you came to our website (so-called referrer), which subpage you access or how often and for how long you view a subpage.

IP ANONYMISATION

In case IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated within the area of Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports on the activities of the website and to provide further services relating to the use of the website and the internet usage vis-a-vis the operator of the website.

The IP address that your browser transmits within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within this website and to provide us with further services relating to the use of this website and the Internet. These purposes also encompass our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.

BROWSER PLUGIN

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by setting your browser software accordingly. You can also prevent Google from collecting your data (including your IP address) and processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

This stores an opt-out cookie on your device. If you should delete your cookies at any time, you must click on this link again.

ORDER MANAGEMENT PROCESS

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of European data protection when using Google Analytics.

Forum or comment function on this website

To post on our blog, you must provide your name and email address. All further details are provided on an optional basis. The forum/comment function is used under your specified name. In addition to the comment and your name, information at the time the comment was created and your email address will also be saved.

After writing a post, your IP address will be used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. Since we do not check comments on our site before they go live, we need this information in order to be able to pursue action for illegal or slanderous content. The IP address will be deleted as soon as we have taken note of your contribution.

SSL encryption

We use SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data which you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data security

We have taken appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, misuse, unauthorised disclosure and alteration as well as loss and destruction. Your personal data will only be stored and processed within the European Union. Personal data is only made available by us to those employees who need it to make our websites available and to provide the services and information requested.

However, you should also take precautionary measures to protect your personal information, especially by keeping your login information secret and monitoring and controlling access to your computer.

Criteria of the deletion of data

Unless specific deletion periods have already been stated above, the following criteria apply to the deletion of personal data processed by the person responsible:

Newtron will delete your personal data as soon as you are no longer registered as a user (e.g. termination of contract between Newtron and the company for which you work). This only applies if Newtron has no legal storage obligations to prevent the deletion. In this case, the deletion is replaced by a restriction on the processing of your personal data.

Consequences of failure to provide personal data

The disclosure of your personal data is neither required by law nor by contract, nor for the conclusion of a contract. As a user of the Newtron Services you are not obliged to provide your personal data. The consequence of not providing your personal data would be that the Newtron services are not activated for you and you cannot use them.

Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data transferability

If your personal data is processed, you are affected within the meaning GDPR and you are entitled to rights vis-a-vis the person responsible (=website operator).

Data subjects have the right to obtain information from the data controller about personal data concerning them and to have inaccurate data corrected or deleted if one of the reasons stated in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data are no longer required for the purposes pursued. Furthermore, there is a right to limitation of processing if one of the conditions specified in Art. 18 GDPR applies and in the cases of Art. 20 GDPR the right to data transferability. If data are collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (e) (data processing for the fulfilment of official tasks or for the protection of the public interest) or (f) (data processing for the protection of legitimate interests), the data subject is entitled to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from his or her particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling reasons for processing which are in need of protection and which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. Inquiries in this context can be sent to support@newtron.de

Right of revocation

If you have permitted the use of your personal data in accordance with § 6 para.1 (a), 7 para. 1 GDPR, you can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons by sending an email to support@newtron.de with effect for the future. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of processing undertaken on the basis of this consent before its withdrawal.

Complaint to the supervisory authorities about data protection infringements

If you believe that the collection, processing or use of your personal data does not comply with data protection regulations and that your rights have been violated, you can contact the relevant data protection authority. The latter will investigate the complaint and inform you of the result.
