We are hos­ting the con­tent of our web­site at the fol­lo­wing provider:

External Hos­ting

This web­site is hosted extern­ally. Per­sonal data coll­ected on this web­site are stored on the ser­vers of the host. These may include, but are not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, meta­data and com­mu­ni­ca­tions, con­tract infor­ma­tion, contact infor­ma­tion, names, web page access, and other data gene­rated through a web site.

The external hos­ting serves the pur­pose of ful­fil­ling the con­tract with our poten­tial and exis­ting cus­to­mers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the inte­rest of secure, fast, and effi­cient pro­vi­sion of our online ser­vices by a pro­fes­sional pro­vider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If appro­priate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­ces­sing is car­ried out exclu­si­vely on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the con­sent includes the sto­rage of coo­kies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­prin­ting) within the mea­ning of the TTDSG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

Our host(s) will only pro­cess your data to the extent neces­sary to fulfil its per­for­mance obli­ga­tions and to follow our ins­truc­tions with respect to such data.

We are using the fol­lo­wing host(s):

dng IT GmbH & Co. KG
Koblenzer Str. 94 · 57482 Wenden

Data pro­ces­sing

We have con­cluded a data pro­ces­sing agree­ment (DPA) with the above-men­tioned pro­vider. This is a con­tract man­dated by data pri­vacy laws that gua­ran­tees that they pro­cess per­sonal data of our web­site visi­tors only based on our ins­truc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

3. General infor­ma­tion and man­da­tory information

Data pro­tec­tion

The ope­ra­tors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­sonal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your per­sonal data as con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion and in com­pli­ance with the sta­tu­tory data pro­tec­tion regu­la­tions and this Data Pro­tec­tion Declaration.

When­ever you use this web­site, a variety of per­sonal infor­ma­tion will be coll­ected. Per­sonal data com­prises data that can be used to per­so­nally iden­tify you. This Data Pro­tec­tion Decla­ra­tion explains which data we collect as well as the pur­poses we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which pur­pose the infor­ma­tion is collected.

We here­with advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Internet (i.e., through e‑mail com­mu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to secu­rity gaps. It is not pos­sible to com­ple­tely pro­tect data against third-party access.

Infor­ma­tion about the respon­sible party (referred to as the “con­troller” in the GDPR)

The data pro­ces­sing con­troller on this web­site is:

Böckelt GmbH
Ludwig-Erhard-Straße 6
D‑57482 Wenden

Phone: +49 2762 / 41993 — 3
E‑mail: verkauf@boeckelt-tower.de

The con­troller is the natural person or legal entity that single-han­dedly or jointly with others makes decis­ions as to the pur­poses of and resources for the pro­ces­sing of per­sonal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addresses, etc.).

Sto­rage duration

Unless a more spe­cific sto­rage period has been spe­ci­fied in this pri­vacy policy, your per­sonal data will remain with us until the pur­pose for which it was coll­ected no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­tion or revoke your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally per­mis­sible reasons for sto­ring your per­sonal data (e.g., tax or com­mer­cial law reten­tion periods); in the latter case, the dele­tion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General infor­ma­tion on the legal basis for the data pro­ces­sing on this website

If you have con­sented to data pro­ces­sing, we pro­cess your per­sonal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if spe­cial cate­go­ries of data are pro­cessed accor­ding to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit con­sent to the transfer of per­sonal data to third count­ries, the data pro­ces­sing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have con­sented to the sto­rage of coo­kies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your end device (e.g., via device fin­ger­prin­ting), the data pro­ces­sing is addi­tio­nally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The con­sent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-con­trac­tual mea­sures, we pro­cess your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Fur­ther­more, if your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a legal obli­ga­tion, we pro­cess it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Fur­ther­more, the data pro­ces­sing may be car­ried out on the basis of our legi­ti­mate inte­rest accor­ding to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­ma­tion on the rele­vant legal basis in each indi­vi­dual case is pro­vided in the fol­lo­wing para­graphs of this pri­vacy policy.

Revo­ca­tion of your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of data

A wide range of data pro­ces­sing tran­sac­tions are pos­sible only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revoke at any time any con­sent you have already given us. This shall be wit­hout pre­ju­dice to the lawful­ness of any data coll­ec­tion that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the coll­ec­tion of data in spe­cial cases; right to object to direct adver­ti­sing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PRO­CESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PRO­CES­SING OF YOUR PER­SONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARI­SING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUA­TION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PRO­FILING BASED ON THESE PRO­VI­SIONS. TO DETER­MINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PRO­CES­SING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CON­SULT THIS DATA PRO­TEC­TION DECLA­RA­TION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJEC­TION, WE WILL NO LONGER PRO­CESS YOUR AFFECTED PER­SONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSI­TION TO PRE­SENT COM­PEL­LING PRO­TEC­TION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PRO­CES­SING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUT­WEIGH YOUR INTE­RESTS, RIGHTS AND FREE­DOMS OR IF THE PUR­POSE OF THE PRO­CES­SING IS THE CLAI­MING, EXER­CISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTIT­LE­MENTS (OBJEC­TION PUR­SUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PER­SONAL DATA IS BEING PRO­CESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVER­TI­SING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PRO­CES­SING OF YOUR AFFECTED PER­SONAL DATA FOR THE PUR­POSES OF SUCH ADVER­TI­SING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PRO­FILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFI­LIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TI­SING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PER­SONAL DATA WILL SUB­SE­QUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVER­TI­SING PUR­POSES (OBJEC­TION PUR­SUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­sory agency

In the event of vio­la­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects are entitled to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­sory agency, in par­ti­cular in the member state where they usually main­tain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged vio­la­tion occurred. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any other admi­nis­tra­tive or court pro­cee­dings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we auto­ma­ti­cally pro­cess on the basis of your con­sent or in order to fulfil a con­tract be handed over to you or a third party in a com­monly used, machine rea­dable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to ano­ther con­troller, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cally feasible.

Infor­ma­tion about, rec­ti­fi­ca­tion and era­di­ca­tion of data

Within the scope of the appli­cable sta­tu­tory pro­vi­sions, you have the right to at any time demand infor­ma­tion about your archived per­sonal data, their source and reci­pi­ents as well as the pur­pose of the pro­ces­sing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or era­di­cated. If you have ques­tions about this sub­ject matter or any other ques­tions about per­sonal data, please do not hesi­tate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand pro­ces­sing restrictions

You have the right to demand the impo­si­tion of rest­ric­tions as far as the pro­ces­sing of your per­sonal data is con­cerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing applies in the fol­lo­wing cases:

  • In the event that you should dis­pute the cor­rect­ness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this inves­ti­ga­tion is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we rest­rict the pro­ces­sing of your per­sonal data.
  • If the pro­ces­sing of your per­sonal data was/is con­ducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your data in lieu of deman­ding the era­di­ca­tion of this data.
  • If we do not need your per­sonal data any longer and you need it to exer­cise, defend or claim legal entit­le­ments, you have the right to demand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­sonal data ins­tead of its eradication.
  • If you have raised an objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­sonal data.

If you have rest­ricted the pro­ces­sing of your per­sonal data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archi­ving – may be pro­cessed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to claim, exer­cise or defend legal entit­le­ments or to pro­tect the rights of other natural per­sons or legal enti­ties or for important public inte­rest reasons cited by the Euro­pean Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For secu­rity reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fi­den­tial con­tent, such as purchase orders or inqui­ries you submit to us as the web­site ope­rator, this web­site uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion pro­gram. You can reco­gnize an encrypted con­nec­tion by che­cking whe­ther the address line of the browser swit­ches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryp­tion is acti­vated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Recor­ding of data on this website

Coo­kies

Our web­sites and pages use what the industry refers to as “coo­kies.” Coo­kies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored tem­po­r­a­rily for the dura­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion coo­kies) or they are per­ma­nently archived on your device (per­ma­nent coo­kies). Ses­sion coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cally deleted once you ter­mi­nate your visit. Per­ma­nent coo­kies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are auto­ma­ti­cally era­di­cated by your web browser.

In some cases, it is pos­sible that third-party coo­kies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third-party coo­kies). These coo­kies enable you or us to take advan­tage of cer­tain ser­vices offered by the third party (e.g., coo­kies for the pro­ces­sing of pay­ment services).

Coo­kies have a variety of func­tions. Many coo­kies are tech­ni­cally essen­tial since cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the absence of the coo­kies (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of videos). The pur­pose of other coo­kies may be the ana­lysis of user pat­terns or the dis­play of pro­mo­tional messages.

Coo­kies, which are required for the per­for­mance of elec­tronic com­mu­ni­ca­tion tran­sac­tions, or for the pro­vi­sion of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (e.g., for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or those that are neces­sary for the opti­miza­tion (required coo­kies) of the web­site (e.g., coo­kies that pro­vide mea­surable insights into the web audi­ence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a dif­fe­rent legal basis is cited. The ope­rator of the web­site has a legi­ti­mate inte­rest in the sto­rage of required coo­kies to ensure the tech­ni­cally error free and opti­mized pro­vi­sion of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the sto­rage of the coo­kies and similar reco­gni­tion tech­no­lo­gies has been requested, pro­ces­sing occurs exclu­si­vely on the basis of the con­sent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this con­sent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be noti­fied any time coo­kies are placed and to permit the accep­tance of coo­kies only in spe­cific cases. You may also exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies in cer­tain cases or in general or acti­vate the delete func­tion for the auto­matic era­di­ca­tion of coo­kies when the browser closes. If coo­kies are deac­ti­vated, the func­tions of this web­site may be limited.

In the event that third-party coo­kies are used or if coo­kies are used for ana­ly­tical pur­poses, we will sepa­ra­tely notify you in con­junc­tion with this Data Pro­tec­tion Policy and, if appli­cable, ask for your consent.

Con­sent with Borlabs Cookie

Our web­site uses the Borlabs con­sent tech­no­logy to obtain your con­sent to the sto­rage of cer­tain coo­kies in your browser or for the use of cer­tain tech­no­lo­gies and for their data pri­vacy pro­tec­tion com­pliant docu­men­ta­tion. The pro­vider of this tech­no­logy is Borlabs GmbH, Rüben­kamp 32, 22305 Ham­burg, Ger­many (her­ein­after referred to as Borlabs).

When­ever you visit our web­site, a Borlabs cookie will be stored in your browser, which archives any decla­ra­tions or revo­ca­tions of con­sent you have entered. These data are not shared with the pro­vider of the Borlabs technology.

The recorded data shall remain archived until you ask us to era­di­cate them, delete the Borlabs cookie on your own or the pur­pose of sto­ring the data no longer exists. This shall be wit­hout pre­ju­dice to any reten­tion obli­ga­tions man­dated by law. To review the details of Borlabs’ data pro­ces­sing poli­cies, please visit https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/

We use the Borlabs cookie con­sent tech­no­logy to obtain the decla­ra­tions of con­sent man­dated by law for the use of coo­kies. The legal basis for the use of such coo­kies is Art. 6(1)© GDPR.

Contact form

If you submit inqui­ries to us via our contact form, the infor­ma­tion pro­vided in the contact form as well as any contact infor­ma­tion pro­vided the­rein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­tions. We will not share this infor­ma­tion wit­hout your consent.

The pro­ces­sing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the exe­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is neces­sary to carry out 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(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The infor­ma­tion you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to era­di­cate the data, revoke your con­sent to the archi­ving of data or if the pur­pose for which the infor­ma­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have con­cluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be wit­hout pre­ju­dice to any man­da­tory legal pro­vi­sions, in par­ti­cular reten­tion periods.

Request by e‑mail, tele­phone, or fax

If you contact us by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax, your request, inclu­ding all resul­ting per­sonal data (name, request) will be stored and pro­cessed by us for the pur­pose of pro­ces­sing your request. We do not pass these data on wit­hout your consent.

These data are pro­cessed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or is required for the per­for­mance of pre-con­trac­tual mea­sures. In all other cases, the data are pro­cessed on the basis of our legi­ti­mate inte­rest in the effec­tive hand­ling of inqui­ries sub­mitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your con­sent to the sto­rage or the pur­pose for the data sto­rage lapses (e.g. after com­ple­tion of your request). Man­da­tory sta­tu­tory pro­vi­sions — in par­ti­cular sta­tu­tory reten­tion periods — remain unaffected.

5. eCom­merce and pay­ment ser­vice providers

Pro­ces­sing of Cus­tomer and Con­tract Data

We collect, pro­cess, and use per­sonal cus­tomer and con­tract data for the estab­lish­ment, con­tent arran­ge­ment and modi­fi­ca­tion of our con­trac­tual rela­ti­onships. Data with per­sonal refe­rences to the use of this web­site (usage data) will be coll­ected, pro­cessed, and used only if this is neces­sary to enable the user to use our ser­vices or required for bil­ling pur­poses. The legal basis for these pro­cesses is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The coll­ected cus­tomer data shall be deleted upon com­ple­tion of the order or ter­mi­na­tion of the busi­ness rela­ti­onship and upon expi­ra­tion of any exis­ting sta­tu­tory archi­ving periods. This shall be wit­hout pre­ju­dice to any sta­tu­tory archi­ving periods.

6. Custom Services

Hand­ling appli­cant data

We offer web­site visi­tors the oppor­tu­nity to submit job appli­ca­tions to us (e.g., via e‑mail, via postal ser­vices on by sub­mit­ting the online job appli­ca­tion form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, pur­pose and use of the per­sonal data coll­ected from you in con­junc­tion with the appli­ca­tion pro­cess. We assure you that the coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing, and use of your data will occur in com­pli­ance with the appli­cable data pri­vacy rights and all other sta­tu­tory pro­vi­sions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and pur­pose of the coll­ec­tion of data

If you submit a job appli­ca­tion to us, we will pro­cess any affi­liated per­sonal data (e.g., contact and com­mu­ni­ca­tions data, appli­ca­tion docu­ments, notes taken during job inter­views, etc.), if they are required to make a decision con­cer­ning the estab­lish­ment or an employ­ment rela­ti­onship. The legal grounds for the afo­re­men­tioned are § 26 BDSG accor­ding to German Law (Nego­tia­tion of an Employ­ment Rela­ti­onship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General Con­tract Nego­tia­tions) and – pro­vided you have given us your con­sent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any con­sent given at any time. Within our com­pany, your per­sonal data will only be shared with indi­vi­duals who are involved in the pro­ces­sing of your job application.

If your job appli­ca­tion should result in your recruit­ment, the data you have sub­mitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the pur­pose of imple­men­ting the employ­ment rela­ti­onship in our data pro­ces­sing system.

Data Archi­ving Period

If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or with­draw your appli­ca­tion, we reserve the right to retain the data you have sub­mitted on the basis of our legi­ti­mate inte­rests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the appli­ca­tion pro­ce­dure (rejec­tion or with­drawal of the appli­ca­tion). After­wards the data will be deleted, and the phy­sical appli­ca­tion docu­ments will be des­troyed. The sto­rage serves in par­ti­cular as evi­dence in the event of a legal dis­pute. If it is evi­dent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6‑month period (e.g., due to an impen­ding or pen­ding legal dis­pute), dele­tion will only take place when the pur­pose for fur­ther sto­rage no longer applies.

Longer sto­rage may also take place if you have given your agree­ment (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if sta­tu­tory data reten­tion requi­re­ments pre­clude the deletion.

Admis­sion to the appli­cant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our appli­cant pool. In case of admis­sion, all docu­ments and infor­ma­tion from the appli­ca­tion will be trans­ferred to the appli­cant pool in order to contact you in case of sui­table vacancies.

Admis­sion to the appli­cant pool is based exclu­si­vely on your express agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The sub­mis­sion agree­ment is vol­un­tary and has no rela­tion to the ongoing appli­ca­tion pro­ce­dure. The affected person can revoke his agree­ment at any time. In this case, the data from the appli­cant pool will be irre­vo­cably deleted, pro­vided there are no legal reasons for storage.

The data from the appli­cant pool will be irre­vo­cably deleted no later than two years after con­sent has been granted.

III. For what pur­poses and on what legal basis do we pro­cess per­sonal data?

 

a) Visi­ting our website

 

For purely infor­ma­tive use of the web­site, i.e. if you do not want to register or other­wise transmit infor­ma­tion to us, we only collect the per­sonal data that your browser trans­mits to us. This is: 

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the inquiry
  • Time zone dif­fe­rence to Green­wich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Con­tent of the request (spe­cific page)
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • Data quan­tity transmitted
  • Web­site from which the request comes
  • Browser
  • Ope­ra­ting system and its user interface
  • Lan­guage and ver­sion of the browser software.

We save this data, incl./excl. the IP address also in log files.

 

We require this data tech­ni­cally in order to dis­play our web­site, to ensure the sta­bi­lity and secu­rity and to opti­mise our offering.

 

The legal basis for the data pro­ces­sing is Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the General Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR), whereby our legi­ti­mate inte­rest arises from the pur­poses cited.

 

We delete this data after 7 days at the latest. More exten­sive sto­rage does not take place, after the IP address has been deleted or anonymised.

 

b) Coo­kies


We use coo­kies on our web­site. Coo­kies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive assi­gned to the browser you are using and through which cer­tain infor­ma­tion flows to us.

 

On our web­site we use tran­sient and per­sis­tent coo­kies. Tran­sient coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cally deleted when you close the browser. This par­ti­cu­larly includes the ses­sion coo­kies. These coo­kies save a so-called ses­sion ID with which various inqui­ries of your browser can be allo­cated to the shared ses­sion. Thus your com­puter can be reco­g­nised again when you return to our web­site. The ses­sion coo­kies will be deleted when you log out or close the browser. Per­sis­tent coo­kies will be deleted in an auto­mated pro­ce­dure after a pre­scribed dura­tion, which can vary depen­ding on the cookie. In the secu­rity set­tings of your browser you can delete the coo­kies at any time.

 

You can con­fi­gure your browser set­tings accor­ding to your desires and, for example refuse accep­tance of third-party coo­kies or of all coo­kies. We expressly state that it is pos­sible that you will not be able to use all func­tions of this web­site, in this case.

 

In addi­tion, we use coo­kies in order to iden­tify you for sub­se­quent visits, if you have an account with us. Other­wise you would have to login again for each visit.

 

On one hand, coo­kies make the use of our offe­ring more plea­sant for you and they opti­mise user-fri­end­li­ness.

When you sub­se­quently visit our web­site, these coo­kies enable us to auto­ma­ti­cally detect that you have already been to our web­site. These coo­kies will be deleted auto­ma­ti­cally after defined period of time.
