Privacy Policy

This privacy policy of Rexroth Rhinow GmbH, represented by Managing Director Kathrin Bleks, is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Regulation Giver when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. Please note the following point: Definitions

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
a) personal data
Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). A natural person is regarded as identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
b) data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) processing
Processing is any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated processes in connection with personal data, such as the collection, recording, organization, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or another form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location of this natural person.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in a way in which the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that guarantee that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller for processing
Controller or controller 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 specified by Union law or the law of the member states, the controller or the specific criteria for their designation can be provided for under Union law or the law of the member states.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the member states are not considered recipients.
j) Third party
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 are authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.
k) Consent
Consent is any expression of will voluntarily given by the data subject for the specific case in an informed manner and unambiguously in the form of a declaration or other clear affirmative action with which the data subject indicates that they consent to the processing of personal data concerning them.

Some data is collected to ensure the flawless provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have a right to request the correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint. Furthermore, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. For details on this, please refer to the privacy policy under “Right to Restriction of Processing”.

When you visit this website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is primarily done with cookies and so-called analytics programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous; surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information on these tools and your objection options can be found in the following privacy policy.

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Management: Kathrin Bleks (Managing Director)

Register court: Potsdam District Court
Register number: HRB 37148 P
Value added tax identification number according to § 27a UStG: DE298625702

Responsible for content according to § 5 TMG (Telemediengesetz): Kathrin Bleks

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time. For this as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby rejected. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions.

We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request.
We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example, to the credit institution commissioned with payment processing.
Further transmission of data does not occur, or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

This website uses the services of MailChimp for sending newsletters. The provider is The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g., email address), this data will be stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified under the “EU-US Privacy Shield.” The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.

With the help of MailChimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). For technical reasons, this information can currently still be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor MailChimp’s to observe individual users.

They serve exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving newsletters will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.

For more details, please refer to MailChimp’s data protection provisions at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Conclusion of a Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a so-called “Data Processing Agreement” with MailChimp, in which we oblige MailChimp to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties. This agreement can be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/.

This page uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To ensure data protection on our website, Google Maps is deactivated when you enter our website for the first time.

A direct connection to Google’s servers is only established when you independently activate Google Maps (consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). This prevents your data from being transferred to Google when you first enter the page. After activation, Google Maps will save your IP address.

This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission after Google Maps has been activated. More information on how to handle user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

The data controller has integrated components from the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller responsible for processing personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes with each access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the data subject’s respective Facebook account. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example, the “Like” button, or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish for such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains which settings Facebook offers to protect the data subject’s privacy. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

The data controller has integrated Twitter components on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and disseminate so-called tweets, i.e., short messages limited to 280 characters. These short messages are accessible to everyone, including individuals not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the respective user’s so-called followers. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user’s tweets. Furthermore, Twitter enables reaching a broad audience via hashtags, links, or retweets. The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a display of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on Twitter buttons can be found at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. As part of this technical process, Twitter gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to further disseminate the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world, and to increase our visitor numbers. If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Twitter, Twitter recognizes with each access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the data subject’s respective Twitter account. If the data subject activates one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted thereby are assigned to the data subject’s personal Twitter user account and stored and processed by Twitter. Twitter always receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Twitter at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Twitter component or not. If the data subject does not wish for such information to be transmitted to Twitter, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Twitter account before accessing our website. The applicable data protection provisions of Twitter are available at https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=de.

The data controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate, and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, as well as music videos, trailers, or user-generated videos, are available via the internet portal. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube recognizes with the access to a sub-page containing a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the data subject’s respective YouTube account. YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not wish for such information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website. The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which are available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
