Privacy policy

Principles

For the most part, our internet site can be used without entering any personal data. We may require your personal data, however, so that we can actually perform certain services (e.g. contact queries). The data are also required so that we can send information material to you or answer your specific queries.

Personal data are stored solely when they are entered manually and exclusively for correspondence purposes or for the purpose shown on the data entry screen (e.g. competitions). Schöck treats personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy statement. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties without your express consent unless this is required for performance of the service or execution of a contract.

We may therefore transfer your personal data to third parties if and when we are offering participation in campaigns, contests, bookings or contract conclusions jointly with a third-party service provider. In this case, you will be notified separately of the disclosure of your data to third parties before they are transferred.

We caution you, however, that the transmission of data via the internet (e.g. in email communications) can be vulnerable to security breaches. Seamless protection of the data from third-party access is not possible.

Log Files

a) When anyone accesses our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is captured without any action on your part and is stored until it is automatically erased:

IP address of the accessing computer
Date and time of the access
Name and URL of the accessed website
Website from which the access originated (referrer URL)
Browser used, browser release
Operating system and release of the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider
Transmitted data quantity and the access status (file transmitted, file not found etc.)
Language and release of browser software

b) We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

To secure the trouble-free establishment of a connection to the website
To secure the ease of use of our website
To evaluate system security and stability
For other administrative purposes

c) The legal ground for the data processing is point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is derived from the purposes of the data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of identifying you.

d) The data in the log files are erased after seven days at the latest.

Cookies

a) We use cookies on our site. Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any harm to your device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

The information stored in the cookie is related to the specific device that is in use. This does mean, however, that we obtain direct information regarding your identity from it.

We use the following cookies:

Session cookies
Other temporary cookies (e.g. cookies for analysis purposes or third-party cookies)

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can, however, configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer or that you are always notified before a new cookie is created. The complete blocking of cookies can, however, mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

b) The use of cookies serves to make the use of our service more convenient for you.

For instance, we use so-called session cookies to recognise when you have previously visited specific pages of our website.

In addition, we use other temporary cookies to optimise the user friendliness of the site; they are stored for a defined period of time on your device. If you visit our site again to take advantage of our services, the site automatically recognises that you have previously visited the site and remembers what entries and settings you made at that time, so you do not have to go through this process again.

Moreover, we use cookies to capture the use of our website in pseudonymised form and for strictly statistical purposes and to analyse its use so that we can further optimise our service for you. These cookies enable us to determine automatically that you have previously visited our site when you make a return visit.

Third-party providers of the related analysis tools as well as the providers of social media plugins utilise their own cookies (details can be found in the following descriptions of the related third-party provider services).

c) The data processed by cookies are necessary for the described purposes in the pursuit of our legitimate interests pursuant to point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. These purposes also represent our legitimate interest in the processing of the collected data.

d) Session cookies are automatically erased at the end of the session. Temporary cookies are automatically erased after a specifically defined time, in this case, 6 months. Cookies used for analysis purposes or third-party cookies are automatically erased after the time periods specified by the specific provider.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we expressly point out to you that doing so may prevent you from being able to use all of the functions on this site in their full scope. You can erase previously stored cookies at any time by using the security settings of your browser.

Utilisation of Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis 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 that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information regarding your use of this website generated by the cookies is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation has been enabled on this website, so Google truncates users’ IP addresses within the member states of the European Union or in other states which are parties to the treaty on the European Economic Area before transmitting them. The full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there only in exceptional cases.

Google, acting on behalf of the operator of this website, uses the collected information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities and to perform further services related to the use of the website and the internet for the website operator. The IP address your browser provides within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Moreover, you can prevent the disclosure of the data related to your activities on the website (including your IP address) generated by the cookies to Google and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin at the following link:

The information below explains the registration, transmission and statistical analysis processes for our newsletter and your objection rights. If you subscribe to our newsletter, you give your consent to its receipt and the processes describe here.

Double opt-in and record

The registration for our newsletter entails a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that your registration will be followed by an email in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is required so that no one can register with the email addresses of other people.

The registration for the newsletter is recorded so that the confirmation of the registration process with legal requirements can be verified. This record includes the saving of the time of registration and confirmation.

Use of the transmission service provider “Mission<One>”

The newsletter is transmitted by means of “Mission<One> Dialog”, a newsletter transmission platform operated by the service provider mission<one> GmbH, Messerschmittstrasse 7, 89231 Neu-Ulm.

The data of our newsletter recipients as well as their additional data described as part of the analysis are stored on the mission<one> servers. mission<one> utilises these data solely and exclusively for the transmission and analysis of the newsletter on our behalf. The data are never transferred to third parties.

Registration data

We are dependent on having your consent to collect, process and utilise various personal data from you (title, first name and surname, email address) if we are to be able to create a newsletter for you that is genuinely of interest and customer oriented. We make use of this information solely to personalise the newsletter.

When you register to receive our newsletter, you give your consent to the use of the personal data you have entered for the transmission of the newsletter.

Statistical collection and analysis

Within the context of the newsletter, we initially collect technical information such as the deliverability, information about the browser and system and the time of the retrieval. This information is used for technical improvement of the service.

The collected statistics also include the determination of whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and what links are clicked. While this information can be attributed to individual newsletter recipients for technical reasons, we analyse the use behaviour in anonymised, statistically prepared form. We use the analyses solely to determine the interests of our users and to adapt and improve our content accordingly or to send messages of differing content based on the interests of our users. All personal data are used solely and exclusively within the Schöck Bauteile GmbH organisation. Data are never transferred to third parties.

Right of withdrawal

You may at any time withdraw your consent for the transmission of the newsletter without giving your reasons. There is a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter in every issue.

Contact form

When you use the contact form to send us queries, your data marked as required in the query form, including the contact data you provide there, are collected, processed and used to process further the query and to handle any follow-up questions you may have. The same is true of any additional information you voluntarily provide (e.g. your professional position).

We do not transfer these data without your consent (if required) or unless there is a legal basis for doing so.

Events / Schöck Webinars

Via our website you can register for events that we offer, e.g. Schöck Webinars. For the purpose of processing your registration and communicating with you, you must enter your first and last name, your e-mail address and your address (company, street, postcode and city) as mandatory information (marked with * in the registration form). You can provide further data voluntarily. If you register by e-mail, your personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be processed together with the name of the respective event and the topic.

Your data will be forwarded to LogMeIn Inc, 333 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02210 USA. LogMeIn Inc has adhered to the EU-US Privacy Shield. For more information about privacy at LogMeIn Inc., please visit https://www.logmeininc.com/de/legal/privacy.

The processing of your e-mail address and your name serves to initiate or conduct the webinar and to send you - if the event takes place - the confirmation of registration and, if applicable, an event reminder by e-mail before the event. Data processing is also carried out in the event of short-term changes to the organisation in order to enable us to contact you quickly.

The data will be shared with LogMeIn Inc. for the purpose of conducting the webinars.

After the event, your name and email address will be used to send you the webinar materials electronically.

Non-participants will be notified of alternate webinar dates after the event, with their name and email address processed.

After the event, your data will also be used to inform you about other, similar events.

Upon request, documents will also be sent to you by post, for which purpose the address will be processed. The processing of the registration date is only done internally for statistical purposes and will not be passed on.

The legal basis for the processing of data that you have duly provided, including the transfer of data to LogMeIn Inc. is Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO. The legal basis for the processing of any additional voluntarily provided data and information about other events is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest in the processing of the voluntary data lies in the efficient contact with you by telephone and the resulting better organisation, with regard to information about further events in the organisation of these.

As soon as your data is no longer required to achieve the above-mentioned purposes, we will delete it.

Insofar as we base data processing on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO, you have the right to object to this type of processing, for the exercise of which we refer to VII. of this declaration.

Access, erasure, blocking

You have the right at any time to request free of charge information about your personal data that we have stored, their origin and recipients or the categories of recipients to whom data have been transferred and the purpose of the storage as well as a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of these data. If you have any further questions about the subject of personal data, you may at any time contact us at the address shown in the Legal Information.
