Privacy Policy for ULTRA PRÄZISION MESSZEUGE GmbH

(Last updated Juli 2021)

We take the protection of your personal data seriously and would like to inform you here about data protection in our company.
•    “Personal data” (Art. 4(1) GDPR) is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A person is identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or by means of information relating to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity characteristics. The identifiability can also be given by means of link to such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (even photographs, video or audio recordings may contain personal data).
•    “Processing” (Art. 4(2) GDPR) means any process that involves handling personal data, whether or not by means of automated (i.e. technology-based) processes. This includes in particular the collection (i.e. acquisition), recording, organisation, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data, as well as the modification of a purpose or use for which data processing was originally intended.
•    “Controller” (Art. 4(7) GDPR) is the natural or legal person, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
•    “Third party” (Art. 4(10) GDPR) means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorised to process the personal data; it also includes other group-affiliated legal entities.
•    “Processor” (Art. 4(8) GDPR) means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with the controller’s instructions (e.g. IT service provider). In particular, a processor is not a third party in the sense of data protection law.
•    “Consent” (Art. 4(11) GDPR) by the data subject means any freely given specific, informed and unambiguous indication of their wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies their agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

(3) Legal basis for data processing

In principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited by law and only allowed if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:
•    Point (a) of Art. 6(1) (1) GDPR (“Consent”): If the data subject has freely given their consent, in an informed and unambiguous manner, by means of a declaration or any other unambiguous affirmative act, to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more specified purposes;
•    Point (b) of Art. 6(1) (1) GDPR: If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request;
•    Point (c) of Art. 6(1) (1) GDPR: If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation which the controller is subject to (e.g. a legal obligation to keep records);
•    Point (d) of Art. 6(1) (1) GDPR: If processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural;
•    Point (e) of Art. 6(1) (1) GDPR: If processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller or
•    Point (f) of Art. 6(1) (1) GDPR (“Legitimate interests”): If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate (in particular legal or economic) interests of the controller or of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the conflicting interests or rights of the data subject (in particular where the data subject is a minor).
For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate the applicable legal basis in each case below. Processing may also be based on several legal bases.


(4) Data erasure and storage period

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate in each case below how long the data will be stored by us and when it will be erased or blocked. If no explicit storage period is specified below, your personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for the storage no longer applies. In principle, your data will only be stored on our servers in Germany, subject to a possible transfer in accordance with the regulations in A.(6) and A.(7).
However, storage may take place beyond the specified time in the event of a (threatened) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by statutory regulations to which we are subject as the responsible party (e.g. Art. 257 HGB [German Commercial Code], Art. 147 AO [German Fiscal Code]). If the storage period prescribed by legal regulations expires, the personal data will be blocked or erased unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.


(5) Data security

Wir bedienen uns geeigneter technischer und organisatorischer Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, um Ihre Daten gegen zufällige oder vorsätzliche Manipulationen, teilweisen oder vollständigen Verlust, Zerstörung oder gegen den unbefugten Zugriff Dritter zu schützen (zB TSL-Verschlüsselung für unsere Webseite) unter Berücksichtigung des Stands der Technik, der Implementierungskosten und der Natur, des Umfangs, des Kontextes und des Zwecks der Verarbeitung sowie der bestehenden Risiken einer Datenpanne (inklusive von deren Wahrscheinlichkeit und Auswirkungen) für den Betroffenen. Unsere Sicherheitsmaßnahmen werden entsprechend der technologischen Entwicklung fortlaufend verbessert.
Nähere Informationen hierzu erteilen wir Ihnen auf Anfrage gerne.


(6) Cooperation with processors

As with any large company, we use external domestic and foreign service providers to handle our business transactions (e.g. for IT, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing). They will only act according to our instructions and have been contractually obligated to comply with the data protection provisions in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
If personal data from you is passed on by us to our subsidiaries or is passed on to us by our subsidiaries (e.g. for advertising purposes), this is done on the basis of existing order processing relationships.


(7) Conditions for the transfer of personal data to third countries

As part of our business relationships, your personal information may be transferred or disclosed to third party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing is carried out exclusively to fulfil contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer at the relevant places below.

We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision making process (including profiling).


(9) No obligation to provide personal data

We do not make the conclusion of contracts with us dependent on you providing us with personal data beforehand. As a customer, you are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data; however, we may only be able to provide certain services to a limited extent or not at all if you do not provide the necessary data. If this should exceptionally be the case within the scope of the products presented below and offered by us, you will be informed of this separately.

We may, under certain circumstances, be subject to a specific legal or statutory obligation to make the lawfully processed personal data available to third parties, in particular public bodies (point (c) of Art. 6(1) (1) GDPR).

(11) Your rights

You can assert your rights as a data subject with regard to your processed personal data at any time by contacting us using the contact details given at the beginning under A.(2). As the data subject you have the right:
•    Pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, to request access to information about your data that we process.

This has as a consequence that we will in future no longer be allowed to continue any data processing that was based on this consent and
