Forwarding of this information to third parties will not take place, with the exception of other companies of the PFEIFER Group, if necessary.

Server logs

On the basis of our justified interests within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) GDPR and for security reasons (e.g. for the clarification of cases of misuse or deceit), we store amongst other things the user's IP address and a timestamp of the visit in so-called server log files each time our website is visited. This information is stored for 7 days and is then deleted. The only exception to this deletion is information whose storage is necessary to allow its use as evidence for a specific incident, until the incident is finally clarified.

Newsletter

When you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. We require your e-mail address for an effective registration. We use the "double opt-in" procedure to check whether a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address. For this purpose, we log the subscription to the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the requested reply. To manage your subscribed newsletter channels and to send the newsletter, we use the marketing automation tool Marketing Cloud Account Engagement from salesforce.com inc, Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, whose privacy policy you can view at https://www.salesforce.com/de/company/privacy/full_privacy/, or alternatively the newsletter tool from mailingwork GmbH, Schönherrstraße 8, 09113 Chemnitz, Germany, whose privacy policy you can view at https://mailingwork.de/datenschutz/. The processing of your contact data and the sending of the newsletter is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a). GDPR. The subscription to the newsletter and the associated consent to the processing of your personal data can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

Our websites may contain links to external webpages. This data protection declaration does not include external webpages, as we are unable to assume any responsibility for their contents and implementation of data protection.

Embedded YouTube videos

Isolated videos are embedded in our website. The operator of the corresponding plugin is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Google Remarketing and "similar target group" functions

On the basis of our justified interests (addressing targeted advertising to visitors to the website by displaying interest-related advertisements when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network) as defined in Article 6, Section 1 f) GDPR, we use Google Remarketing and the "similar target groups" function of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA on our website. The purpose of this function is to analyse visitor behaviour and interests. Google uses cookies to analyse the use of the website. The website visits and anonymised data on the use of the website are collected by these cookies. The personal data of the website visitor are not stored. If you subsequently visit another website that is part of the Google Display Network, advertisements will be shown to you that will most probably take into account previously visited product and information areas. Your data may thereby be transmitted to the USA. An appropriateness resolution of the European Commission exists for the transmission of data to the USA. You can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by clicking the following link and downloading and installing the plugin provided there: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opting out provided there. Further information on Google Remarketing and the associated privacy declaration can be found at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/

Cookies

On the basis of our justified interests (analysis, optimisation and cost-effective operation of our website) within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) GDPR, we use so-called cookies on our website. These are small files saved on the user’s computer to store specific settings for the use of our web presence. As a result of this we automatically receive certain data (e.g. IP address, browser used, operating system) about your computer and its connection to the Internet. You can also use our webpage without cookies by deactivating the use of cookies in your browser. The comfort and functional scope of our offer may however be restricted by the deactivation of cookies. In order to learn how to deactivate cookies in your browser, please use the Help function.

Google Analytics

On the basis of our justified interests (analysis, optimisation and cost-effective operation of our website) within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) GDPR, we use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies“. These are small files saved on the user’s computer, thus enabling an analysis of the use of the website. On our behalf, Google can use this information to analyse the use of our website and prepare reports about website activities. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. Due to statutory specifications, the IP anonymisation function is active on our website, meaning that your IP address is already abbreviated and anonymised within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address communicated by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not added to other Google data.

You can also use our website without cookies by deactivating the use of cookies in your browser. The convenience and functional scope of our offer may however be restricted by the deactivation of cookies. In order to learn how to deactivate cookies in your browser, please use the Help function.

Beyond this, you can also prevent the recording of the data related to your website generated by the cookie (incl. your IP address) as well as the processing of said data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser add-on available from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

As an alternative to the browser add-on or on mobile devices, please click on this Link to prevent future recording within this website by Google Analytics. In doing so, an opt-out cookie is stored on your device. You must click on the link again if you should delete your cookies.

Use of script libraries and webfonts

In order to display our contents correctly in all browsers and in a graphically appealing manner, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website. The calling of script libraries or font libraries automatically initiates a connection to the operator of the library. It is thereby possible that the operators of corresponding libraries will collect and analyse data about these calls.

The webfonts used on our pages are provided by Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts, USA.

The data protection guideline of the library operator can be found at https://www.myfonts.com/info/legal/#Privacy

Facebook fan page/insights data

On visiting our Facebook fan page, Facebook collects information about the page visitors with the help of cookies. Since Facebook and we as the operator of the fan page are jointly responsible within the meaning of the GDPR, you can direct claims regarding your data subject rights either directly to Facebook Ireland or to us. Facebook is primarily responsible for the processing of "insights data" collected via our Facebook fan page. Facebook assures the fulfilment of all obligations arising from the GDPR with regard to these data. As the operator, we do not make any decisions regarding the processing of insights data and the duration of storage of the cookies. Refer also to the following supplement to the Facebook regulations concerning fan pages: www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

Facebook Pixel

This website uses the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" from Facebook Inc. ("Facebook"). The purpose of this function is to present interest-related adverts ("Facebook ads") to visitors to this webpage within the context of visiting the Facebook social network. To this end the remarketing tag from Facebook was implemented on this website. A direct connection to the Facebook servers is established via this tag when visiting the webpage. Your visit to this website is thereby transmitted to the Facebook server and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. Further information on the collection and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this respect and the possibilities to protect your privacy can be found in the Facebook privacy policy: www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ If you wish to deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function, you can do so at www.facebook.com/settings/. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.

Application portal

An application portal is integrated into the careers section of our website. For further processing of your application, the information is processed in our HR software Loga from P&I Systems. By sending your documents, you consent to their processing as part of our application management. Application data is generally processed on the basis of Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG. Within the company, your data will only be accessible to the persons and departments responsible for handling the respective application process. The application documents will only be stored for as long as they are required for the purpose of the application process.
