Data collection and processing, use of personal data

Dr. Uwe Nolte has been appointed as the head of data processing for the responsible body. Dr. Uwe Nolte can be contacted at dsb@arbeitssicherheit.digital. Any personal data (e.g., names, job titles, or email addresses) collected on our websites is provided on a voluntary basis.

For the purposes of further developing our software, marketing, and website optimization, we collect navigation information from website visitors. This is data about visits to our website, in particular IP address, operating system, device type (e.g., desktop, mobile), referral source, length of visit, and pages viewed.

Personal data is collected in the context of the following tasks:

Sending technical information
Maintaining inventory and usage data
Acquiring new customers
Preparing and responding to inquiries
Other services for customers
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer

Contact form and contact establishment

Visitors can enter personal data via an online contact form on the website. The form explains the purpose for which the data will be used and when it will be deleted. Visitors can also use an email link on the website. The link opens their email program, and the data is entered within their control.

By sending the message via the contact form or via their email program, the visitor consents to the processing of the personal data transmitted. Your request will be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

We will not pass on this data without your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

Description of the groups of people affected

In order to fulfill the aforementioned purpose, personal data or data categories are collected, processed, and used from the following groups:

Customer data, in particular contact details such as telephone, fax, and email details, contact history, and other data necessary for the fulfillment of the contract.
Prospective customer data, in particular contact details and interests (websites visited, specialist information viewed).

Standard time limits for erasure of data

The legislator has enacted a wide range of storage obligations and periods. Once these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

The storage of cookies can be prevented by adjusting the settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google can be prevented by users downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

More information on the handling of user data by Google Analytics can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Information, deletion, blocking

Website visitors have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about their stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, those affected can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. Users have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to them or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If users request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Cookies

When users or interested parties send us inquiries via the contact form, we store the information from the inquiry form, including the contact details provided there, for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without consent.

Final remarks

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that users send to us as the site operator. Users can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that users transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. For the sake of formality, we would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
