Provision of the website

When you use the website for purely informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us (e.g. via a contact form), we collect the following technical information (log-file data):

  • operating system of the end device from which you are visiting our website
  • browser (type, version & language settings)
  • the amount of data retrieved
  • the current IP address of the end device from which you are visiting our website
  • date and time of access
  • the URL of the previously visited website (referrer)
  • the URL of the (sub-)page you are accessing on the website
  • the Internet service provider of the accessing system

The collection of this data is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. As a rule, we and our service provider are not aware of who is hidden behind an IP address. We do not merge the above-mentioned data with other data.

The legal basis for the storage of the data/log files is Art. 6 (1) clause 1 f) GDPR. Storage in log files makes sure that the website functions properly and also serves to improve and secure our systems. The data stored by Stadler + Schaaf Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case after six weeks at the latest.  Storage for longer than this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to match them with the calling client.

Contact form and e-mail

We provide a contact form on our website to make it easy for you to get in touch. The data entered into the input mask is transmitted to Stadler + Schaaf Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH and stored. Furthermore, when the data is sent, the IP address of the user is stored along with the date and time of transmission. Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address supplied. In this case, the user’s personal data which is transmitted with the e-mail is stored. The data is not passed on to third parties. It is only used to process the enquiry.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is, where the user has given consent, Art. 6 (1) clause 1 a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of the data which is transmitted with the e-mail is Art. 6 (1) clause 1 f) GDPR. If the contact by e-mail is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) clause 1 b) GDPR.
The processing of the personal data serves only to handle the first contact. In the case of a first contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. With regard to the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and the data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the relevant conversation with the user has ended. The conversation has ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

Data disclosure

As a general rule, your personal data is not passed on to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, or unless the disclosure of data is necessary for the performance of a contractual relationship, or unless you have previously expressly consented to the disclosure of your data.
Your data is only passed on to affiliated companies and service partners if they are acting on our behalf and helping Stadler + Schaaf Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH to render its services. If your personal data is processed by commissioned service providers, this is done within the framework of processing pursuant to  Art. 28 GDPR. The above-mentioned service providers only receive access to such personal information that is necessary for the performance of the respective activity. These service providers are prohibited from disclosing your personal information or using it for any other purpose, in particular for their own promotional purposes. Where external service providers come into contact with your personal data, we have taken legal, technical and organisational measures, as well as regular checks, to ensure that they too comply with the applicable data protection regulations.

Your personal data is not disclosed to any other companies for commercial purposes. We place importance on processing your data within the EU / EEA.

Web analysis tools

When you visit our website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is done mainly with cookies and with so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; your surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information about this can be found in the following privacy policy. 

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information gathered by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

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

Google reCAPTCHA

In order to ensure sufficient data security when forms are submitted, in certain cases we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. This serves primarily to establish whether the input is made by a natural person or fraudulently by machine and automated processing. When the service is used, the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service are sent to Google.

IP anonymisation

We have enabled the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that, within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, Google will truncate your IP address before it is transmitted to the USA.

 

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and perform other services related to website activity and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser for Google Analytics purposes will not be merged with any other data stored by Google.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the transmission of data collected by the cookie and pertaining to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to the collection of data

More information as to how Google Analytics processes user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Demographic characteristics with Google Analytics

This website uses the function “demographic characteristics” provided by Google Analytics. The function can be used to compile reports containing information about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the site. Such data stems from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. It cannot be traced back to a specific person. You can disable this function any time via the ad settings in your Google account or prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics in general as shown in the paragraph “Objection to the collection of data”.

Matomo

This website collects and stores data for marketing and optimisation purposes by means of the web analysis service software Matomo (www.matomo.org).

The data collected by means of Matomo technology (including your anonymised IP address) is transmitted to our server and stored for usage analysis purposes, which helps us to optimise our website.

You can prevent the use of cookies and thus of being tracked by setting your browser software accordingly; however, in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

The legal basis for the processing of the user’s personal data is Art. 6 (1) clause 1 a) GDPR. The processing of users’ personal data makes it possible for us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we can compile information about the use of the website’s individual components. This helps us to continuously improve the website and make it more attractive to its users. The data is only collected and stored after explicit consent has been given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) clause 1 a) GDPR.
The duration of storage is 6 months.

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted from the computer to our site. You therefore have full control over the use of cookies.  By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies.
