Collection and processing of personal data

You can visit the thyssenkrupp rothe erde Germany GmbH website anonymously, i.e. without telling us who you are. When you visit the website, our web servers process by default the IP address with which you access our website, the website from which you visit our website and the files you retrieve from us, as well as the date of your visit and general information from your browser. This data is processed to ensure the security of the web server and to adapt the output of the information called up to your output medium in terms of performance. Evaluations for statistical purposes are carried out exclusively in anonymized form.

We only store and process personal data if you provide us with this information voluntarily, e.g. when filling out a contact form or registering for personalized services. On the respective websites you will be informed about the intended use and, if necessary, asked for your consent to storage and processing. Data will only be passed on to thyssenkrupp companies and service providers affiliated with us, e.g. to send you the requested written information. Of course, all service providers are bound to data secrecy and confidentiality. Your data will not be passed on to other third parties. Your data is always encrypted before transmission and processing in order to protect it against unauthorized access.

Cookies

a) Description and scope of data processing

Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer or other end device. The use of cookies helps us to analyze your use of the website, improve the services and products offered, improve security and prevent fraud attempts. We distinguish between different types of cookies:

  • Session cookies are temporary cookie files that are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies are cookie files that are stored until they are actively deleted or automatically removed after a certain period of time.

  • First-party cookies are cookies that are set directly by us.

  • Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a third-party provider

Personal data may be stored in cookies on individual pages if you have expressly consented to this beforehand, e.g. to avoid having to re-enter access data. In principle, you can also access all information on our websites if you have deactivated cookies in your Internet browser. If you do not accept cookies, this can lead to functional restrictions of our offers.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

c) Purpose of the data processing

Cookies can be used for different purposes.

- Functional cookies are used to provide you with standard services on our website. Without the use of cookies, our website will only function to a very limited extent and may contain errors.

- Optimization cookies enable us to analyze the use of our website. If you have not consented to the use of your personal data for this purpose, this will be done anonymously. The analysis helps us to improve our services and the products and services we offer.

- Personalization cookies allow us to determine your personal preferences, such as your preferred language. We use these cookies to improve user-friendliness and offer you a customized experience.

- Security cookies are cookies that are necessary to protect the website against attacks and to prevent fraud attempts.

d) Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

E-mail contact

a) Description and scope of data processing

It is possible to contact us via the e-mail addresses provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

No data will be passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

c) Purpose of the data processing

In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

d) Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The user has the option to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

Contact form

thyssenkrupp rothe erde Germany GmbH processes the following data about you to process your request if you provide it in the contact form: Title, first name, surname, e-mail, street, zip code, city, telephone number and the content of your request. We will pass on your personal data to recipients if this is necessary to fulfill your request. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data depends on your request and may result from a contract with you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), your consent (Art. 6 para.1 lit. a GDPR) or on the basis of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) of our legitimate interest in providing you with a good service. We are supported in the operation of our contact form by our IT service providers as processors. We process your data - if the processing is based on your consent - until you withdraw your consent or - if the processing is based on a balancing of interests - until you object to this or for the purpose of your request until it has been dealt with. It is not possible to process your request without providing the data required to contact you and to understand and process your request. The other information is voluntary. This service is only intended for persons over the age of 18.

If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If we process your personal data on the basis of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), you can object to the processing at any time with effect for the future.

In addition, we process the "referrer" information as part of your use of the contact form (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), which is deleted after 4 weeks at the latest. Without the collection of this information, it is not technically possible to use the contact form.

Your data protection rights

You have the right to request information about the personal data stored about you in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In addition, you can request the correction or deletion of your data in accordance with Art. 16 and 17 GDPR. You may also have the right to restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR and the right to receive the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. If you have given us your consent to data processing, you can revoke this at any time without any formal requirements and without any adverse effects. Please note that the revocation has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation and that it does not extend to such data processing for which another permission exists and which may therefore also be carried out without your consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact the controller or data protection officer named above.

In accordance with Art. 77 GDPR, you also have the option of lodging a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
