Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high priority for the management of Dr. Ing. Bender & Wippern GmbH. The use of the websites of Dr. Ing. Bender & Wippern GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may be 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 Dr. Ing. Bender & Wippern GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, Dr. Ing. Bender & Wippern 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 can fundamentally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.

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

3. Cookies

The websites of Dr. Ing. Bender & Wippern GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites 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 websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies.

Through the use of cookies, Dr. Ing. Bender & Wippern GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set 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.

5. Contact Form and Email Contact

The website of Dr. Ing. Bender & Wippern GmbH contains a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. If a data subject contacts the controller via the contact form, the personal data transmitted with the contact form is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.

Alternatively, contact via the email address provided is possible. In this case, the personal data of the data subject transmitted with the email is stored.

The personal data collected as part of a contact is not shared with third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

6. Google reCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, duration of stay on the website by the website visitor, or mouse movements made by the user).

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from spam.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed.

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about their personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information.

h) Right to Withdraw Consent

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

8. Legal Basis for 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 Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

9. Period for Which Personal Data Will Be Stored

The criterion for 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.
