To ensure that our privacy policy is easy to read and understand, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this data protection declaration, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal Data

Personal data are all information related to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data Subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the website.

d) Restriction of Processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling. Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or processor responsible for processing

The controller or processor responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, then the controller or the specific criteria for their nomination may be provided for under Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data within the framework of a specific investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

The responsible in terms of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection character is:

Every data subject may at any time contact our Data Protection Management directly with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection.

These websites use cookies. By using cookies, we can provide more user-friendly services to the users of this website, which would not be possible without setting cookies. Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website in terms of user-friendliness. Cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his or her credentials every time he or she visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

This website collects a series of general data and information with each call of the website by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files.

The following can be recorded:

(1) the types and versions of browsers used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
(8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent risks in case of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, weba Werkzeugbau Betriebs GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.

Rather, this information is needed to
(1) correctly deliver the contents of our website,
(2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement,
(3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically analyzed by weba Werkzeugbau Betriebs GmbH on the one hand, and furthermore, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. These data are evaluated for statistical purposes and exclusively anonymously. There is no disclosure to third parties.

The website of weba Werkzeugbau Betriebs GmbH contains, due to legal regulations, details that enable rapid electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the entity responsible for processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the entity responsible for processing are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of these personal data to third parties. Upon your request, these data will be deleted by us after the correspondence has ended. No transfer of data to third parties outside the group occurs. There is also no comparison of the data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other components of our site.

The website responsible shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as far as this is granted by the European directives and regulations maker or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the responsible entity is subject.

(with anonymization)

The controller responsible for processing has integrated Google Analytics (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service captures, among other things, data about from which website a person reached another website (the so-called referrer), which sub-sites of the website were visited or how often and for what duration a sub-site was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

To ensure the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website.  Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of this website for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. In the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is subsequently  deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html . Google Analytics is further explained under the following link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his/her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) (d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 clause 2 GDPR).
