tuxhorn-Privacy
We would like to use the information below to provide you “data subject” with an overview of our processing of your personal data and your rights under data protection law. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. However, if you wish to make use of special services offered by our company through our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
Personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the “Gebr. Tuxhorn GmbH & Co. KG”. The aim of this Privacy Notice is to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to submit personal data on alternative ways, such as by phone or by post to us.
You can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to provide you with some tips on how to handle your data securely:
Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.
Only you should have access to the passwords.
Do not use the same password for different websites, applications or online services.
When using publicly accessible IT systems or systems shared with other people, it is particularly important to log out of every website, application or online service after each session.
Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, your own name or the names of relatives, but should include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
The data controller, as defined by the GDPR, is:

4. Definitions
This Privacy Notice is based on the terminology used by the European legislature and legislature in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. Among other things, we use the following terms in this privacy policy.
We use the following terms in this Privacy Notice, among others:
1. Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 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.
2. Data subject
A Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
3. Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
4. Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
5. Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.
6. Pseudonymisation
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.
7. Data processor
Data processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
8. Recepient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.
9. Third party
Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
10. Consent
Consent means any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject’s wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Art. 6 1 lit. a) GDPR (icw § 25 (1) Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) (formerly TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 1 lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 1 lit. c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 1 lit. d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 1 lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not overweigh. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
6. Technology
6.1SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to guarantee the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser contains a “https://” instead of a “http://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
6.2 Data collection when visiting the Website
If you only use our website for informational purposes, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is regularly data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a series of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:
1. the browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer),
4. the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of access to the website,
6. an internet Protocol (IP) address, and
7. the internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required to
1. deliver the contents of our website correctly,
2. optimise the contents of our website as well as to advertise it,
3. ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary to prosecute in the event of a cyber-attack.
Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 1 lit. GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.
7. Hosting
7.1 Hosting through degado GmbH
We host our website with dogado GmbH, Antonio-Segni-Straße 11, 44263 Dortmund (hereinafter referred to as dogado).
When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g., IP addresses in log files) is processed on dogado’s servers.
The use of dogado is based on Art. 6 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation, provision, and security of our website.
We have concluded a contract for Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with dogado in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that dogado processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

8. Cookies
8.1 General information about cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website.
Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however, that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are erased automatically when you leave our website.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.
8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies
The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 1 lit. f) GDPR.
For all other cookies, the following applies: You have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6 1 lit. a) GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.
8.3 Borlabs Cookie (Consent Management Tool)
We use the WordPress cookie plugin “Borlabs Cookie” from Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany. This service enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.
Borlabs Cookie uses cookies to collect data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user provides consent, the plugin automatically logs the following data, among other things, to Borlabs:
Cookie duration,
Cookie version,
Domain and path of the wordpress page,
Selection in cookie banner,
UID (a randomly generated ID),
The consent status is also stored in the end-user’s browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end-user’s consent in all subsequent page requests and future end-user sessions for up to 12 months. Consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period according to § 195 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB]). The data is then deleted immediately.
The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. There is no possibility for the user to object as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user’s consent to certain data processing operations, Art. 1, 6 Art 1 lit. c) GDPR.
The data collected is neither forwarded to Borlabs GmbH nor does it receive access to it.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://de.borlabs.io/borlabs-cookie/.
9. Contents of our website
9.1 Contact support / Contact form
Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of the use of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 1 lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 1 lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any legal obligations to retain data.
9.2 Application Management / job exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service 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 we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 1 lit. b) GDPR, Art. 88 GDPR icw § 26 (1) German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz [BDSG]).
10. Our activities in social networks
To allow us to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we run our own pages on these social networks. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of the social media network are joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR) regarding to the processing operations triggered thereby, which concern personal data.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers
We would therefore like to point out as a precautionary measure that your data may also be processed outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use of these networks may therefore involve data protection risks for you since the protection of your rights may be difficult, e.g. your rights to information, erasure, objection, etc. Processing on social networks frequently takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by network providers, and we have no control over this. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used or user behaviour may be assigned directly to your own member profile on the respective social network (if you are logged in).
The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to grant your consent to the respective providers to process your data as a user, the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.
Since we have no access to these providers databases, we would like to point out that you would be best placed to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, rectification, erasure, etc.) directly with the respective provider. More information on the processing of your data on social networks and your options for exercising your right to object or your right of revocation (opt out) is listed below for each of the social network providers we use:

We have integrated the Matomo component of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on this website. Matomo is a software tool for web analysis, i.e. for elicitation, collection and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to our websites. Among other things, data is collected about the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. This is used to optimise the website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The software is operated on the server of the controller, the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.
Matomo stores a cookie on your IT system. Setting the cookie enables us to analyse the use of our website.

13. Plugins and other services
13.1 audatis MANAGER (whistleblowing system)
We use the whistleblowing system of audatis MANAGER by audatis Services GmbH, Luisenstraße 1, 32052 Herford, Germany.
The whistleblowing protection system enables the investigation of reports to prevent, uncover, and/or take subsequent actions against violations of applicable laws or company policies.
In this context, the following data may be collected, if there is no anonymous reporting:

Employment-related information;
Information regarding the affected person identified in the report, such as first and last name, gender, address, telephone number and email address;

13.2 YouTube Videos im erweiterten Datenschutzmodus (Youtube-NoCookies)
Some subpages of our website contain links to YouTube. In general, we are not responsible for the content of websites to which links are provided. In the event that you follow a link to YouTube, however, we would like to point out that YouTube stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
On some subpages of our websites, we also directly integrate videos stored on YouTube. With this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. When you call up a (sub-)page of our website on which YouTube videos are embedded, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the content is displayed on the website by informing your browser.
YouTube content is only integrated in “extended data protection mode”. YouTube itself provides this mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially save any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are called up, the IP address and, if applicable, other data are transmitted and, in particular, which of our websites you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service before accessing the page or are permanently logged in.
As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only saves cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service.
These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.
Requesting the video also constitutes your consent for the placement of the corresponding cookie (Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR).
This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. There is hereby an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.
