2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External Hosting

This web­site is hos­ted by an extern­al ser­vice pro­vider (host). 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.

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:

CLEMENT GERMANY GMBH
Gruben­straße 48
18055 Rostock

Phone: +49 381 252210
E‑mail: info@clement-systems.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.).

Information on data transfer to the USA

Our web­site uses, in par­tic­u­lar, tools from com­pan­ies based in the USA. When these tools are act­ive, your per­son­al inform­a­tion may be trans­ferred to the US serv­ers of these com­pan­ies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third coun­try with­in the mean­ing of EU data pro­tec­tion law. US com­pan­ies are required to release per­son­al data to secur­ity author­it­ies without you as the data sub­ject being able to take leg­al action against this. The pos­sib­il­ity can­not there­fore be excluded that US author­it­ies (e.g. secret ser­vices) may pro­cess, eval­u­ate and per­man­ently store your data on US serv­ers for mon­it­or­ing pur­poses.  We have no influ­ence over these pro­cessing activ­it­ies.

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 SECT. 1 LIT. 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 SECT. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING. 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 SECT. 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.

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.

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 at the address provided in sec­tion “Inform­a­tion Required by Law.”

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 at the address provided in sec­tion “Inform­a­tion Required by Law.” 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 Sect. 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.

7. Plug-ins and Tools

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (here­in­after referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on this web­site. The pro­vider is Google Ire­land Lim­ited (“Google”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land.

The pur­pose of reCAPTCHA is to determ­ine wheth­er data entered on this web­site (e.g. inform­a­tion entered into a con­tact form) is being provided by a human user or by an auto­mated pro­gram. To determ­ine this, reCAPTCHA ana­lyzes the beha­vi­or of the web­site vis­it­ors based on a vari­ety of para­met­ers. This ana­lys­is is triggered auto­mat­ic­ally as soon as the web­site vis­it­or enters the site. For this ana­lys­is, reCAPTCHA eval­u­ates a vari­ety of data (e.g. IP address, time the web­site vis­it­or spent on the site or curs­or move­ments ini­ti­ated by the user). The data tracked dur­ing such ana­lyses are for­war­ded to Google.

reCAPTCHA ana­lyses run entirely in the back­ground. Web­site vis­it­ors are not aler­ted that an ana­lys­is is under­way.

Data are stored and ana­lyzed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The web­site oper­at­or has a legit­im­ate interest in the pro­tec­tion of the operator’s web­sites against abus­ive auto­mated spy­ing and against SPAM. If a respect­ive declar­a­tion of con­sent has been obtained, the data will be pro­cessed exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a DGDPR. Any such con­sent may be revoked at any time.

For more inform­a­tion about Google reCAPTCHA please refer to the Google Data Pri­vacy Declar­a­tion and Terms Of Use under the fol­low­ing links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.
