Privacy
Privacy policy of Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH
1. Preamble
We are pleased about your visit on the website of our company. Information protection and in particular data protection is of great importance to our management. In principle, you can use this website without providing any personal data. Should you disclose data to us in connection with the processing described below, we will treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations of the European Union and the Federal Republic of Germany as well as this data protection declaration.
As the data controller, Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the complete protection of personal data processed via this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you as the person concerned are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or mail.
2. Definitions
Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH's data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator when the basic data protection regulation (GDPR) was issued. The detailed definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR. Essentially, these are the following terms, described here in simplified form:
a) Personal data:
This is all information available to us as a responsible person to determine you as a natural person. (e.g. name, address, e-mail, telephone number, IP address etc.)
b) Person concerned:
This is you as a natural person, if we have identified you or can identify you.
c) Processing:
Processing is any collection, storage, further processing, forwarding, archiving and deletion of data. It is irrelevant whether the process is carried out automatically with the aid of IT systems or whether it is carried out manually (e.g. by letter).
d) Restriction of processing:
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
e) Profiling:
Profiling is any type of automated processing of your data, which consists in using these data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you. In particular, to analyse or predict aspects relating to your job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, behaviour, whereabouts or change of location.
f) Pseudonymization:
This is a process to identify your personal data. In the following, only this identifier will be used and without the original key or a "reference database" this pseudonym cannot be resolved (e.g. allocation of a customer number).
g) Responsible Person:
The person responsible or responsible for processing is Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH with whom you have a contractual relationship. It is crucial that we can decide independently on the processing methods and means.
h) Contract processor:
A processor is a company that has been commissioned by Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH to assist you in the collection, processing, storage, forwarding or deletion of your data. Usually these are IT service providers, but also waste disposal companies that are commissioned, for example, with the destruction of documents.

6. Processing operations
In this section we will describe the data processing that is connected with our internet offer or that applies to a general business relationship between you and our company.
The following legal bases serve us for the processing of your data.
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of your data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same shall apply to such processing operations which are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which makes the processing of personal data necessary, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the person concerned or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company was injured and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of you outweigh the processing. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator.

Description, purpose and legal basis

Which personal data will be transmitted to us in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration.

The data processing is thus carried out on the legal basis Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the fulfilment of the contract.
We may pass on your personal data to one or more data processors, for example a parcel service provider such as UPS, who will use your data in particular for the execution of the contract.

When you register in our online store, your IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data is carried out against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offences. To this extent, the storage of this data is necessary for our security. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
If you provide voluntary personal data during registration, this data is used by us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. The data processing is then carried out with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You have the possibility to change the personal data you have provided us with at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.
In order to optimize our online offer for you, we have a legitimate interest in passing on your personal data to third parties if necessary. This takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of your commercial and tax law requirements.
On request, we will be pleased to inform you which personal data we have stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete your personal data at your request or notice, provided that no statutory retention periods conflict with your request. You are welcome to contact our employees for this purpose.
We store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The purpose is fulfilled as soon as the contract has been completely processed. Even after the contract has been completely processed, it may be necessary to store your personal data. This is then the case to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

b) Contact / Inquiries / Newsletter
In the following we describe the possibilities of contacting the companies and employees of our company.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form including the contact data you provided there will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. These data will not be passed on without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form thus takes place in the first step on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal e-mail notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. In further correspondence, there may be a change of legality (e.g. if you request an offer), then your data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR.
The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to 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 by this.
E-Mail / Phone inquiry
If you send us inquiries by e-mail or telephone, your data from the e-mail or conversation, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data provided in the e-mail or telephone conversation is therefore based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. In further correspondence, there may be a change in legality (e.g. if it is business correspondence), in which case your data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The data provided by you in the mail or from the telephone conversation will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for which the data was stored ceases to apply (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected by this.
WhatsApp Business
For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp obtains access to metadata that is generated in the course of the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient and time).
We would also like to point out that, according to its own statement, WhatsApp shares personal data of its users with its parent company Meta, which is based in the USA. Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
WhatsApp is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). If a corresponding consent has been requested, the data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after processing your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum.
Newsletter
On our website you have the possibility to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH informs its customers, business partners and other interested parties at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. You can only receive our company's newsletter if (1) you have a valid e-mail address and (2) you have registered to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you first entered for the newsletter mailing list using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system you are using at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a person concerned at a later date and therefore serves as our legal safeguard.
The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as might be the case if there are changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of your personal data, which you have given us for the newsletter service, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, you will find a corresponding link in every newsletter. Furthermore, you have the possibility to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us in another way.
The use of the newsletter is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in providing our customers, business partners and other interested parties with as much information as possible about our products and services.
Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletters of Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH contain so-called counting pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded pixel-code, Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up by you.
Such personal data collected via the pixel-code contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. You are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH automatically interprets a cancellation of receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
Newsletter tracking is used on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a justified interest in providing our customers, business partners and other interested parties with as much information as possible about our products and services and, in connection with this, which of our services have aroused the most interest.
c) Data processing for the fulfilment of contracts
If you have entered into a business relationship with our company, e.g. if you have placed an order with us, the data processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. All data necessary to initiate, fulfill or complete this order, such as contact data, object data, service providers involved, photo documentation, plans, orders for goods, etc., may be collected and processed by us without separate consent.
Should it be necessary to call in a subcontractor (e.g. other IT service providers, special software suppliers) to fulfill the contract with you, we may also pass on your data to this subcontractor. We guarantee that we have committed our subcontractors to the same strict data protection requirements that you can expect from us.
In individual cases, it may happen that we obtain a company information from Coface to initiate an order. If the data obtained in this way has consequences for the order, we will clarify this with you separately.
In rare cases, we will also check individuals. For this purpose, our company randomly checks your creditworthiness when concluding contracts and, in certain cases where there is a legitimate interest, also with existing customers. For this purpose, we work together with Compagnie Française d'Assurance pour le Commerce Extérieur SA (Coface), Isaac-Fulda-Allee 1, D-55124 Mainz, from which we receive the necessary data. For this purpose, we transmit your name and contact details to Coface. Further information on the handling of personal data can be found at: https://www.coface.de/Home/Allgemeine-Informationen/Datenschutz
The data related to orders are subject to different retention periods. For example, general business letters must be proven for 6 years and tax law documents for 10 years. We will only pass on your data within our company to the extent necessary, if this is justified by the subject of the order.
d) Handling of applications Documents
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for application purposes is § 26 BDSG.
Data is only collected and processed for this purpose to the extent required by law. Insofar as other data may not be directly required for the establishment of the employment relationship, the processing is based on a legitimate interest of the company in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
A legitimate interest may arise, for example, from internal organizational and administrative purposes, for the protection of the company's facilities, installations and assets as well as data processing installations and data. A processing of your data is permitted here if the protection of your interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms does not prevail.
In individual cases we can also obtain your consent to the processing or transmission of your data. Your consent is voluntary in these cases and can be revoked by you at any time in the future, unless otherwise agreed.
The application documents will be transmitted within the group of companies. The respective specialist department is thus involved in the application process. The specialist departments are instructed to treat application documents in strict confidence. The documents will not be transferred to a third country.
Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH is the competent and responsible body for the collection, processing and use of your personal data.
Your personal data will only be stored as long as knowledge of the data is necessary for the above-mentioned purposes or as long as legal or contractual retention regulations exist. Application documents are usually deleted 6 months after the application process is completed.
It is possible to store your data for a longer period if you give us your consent. During this extended period, Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH may contact you about new job offers.
