Section 6 Data protection provisions regarding the use of Xing
The controller has integrated components of Xing on this website. Xing is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts as well as to establish new business contacts. Individual users can create a personal profile on Xing. Companies can, for example, create company profiles or publish job postings on Xing.
The operating company of Xing is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Xing component to download a display of the corresponding Xing component from Xing. Further information on the Xing plug-ins can be accessed at https://dev.xing.com/plugins. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Xing obtains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into Xing at the same time, Xing recognizes with each access to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Xing component and assigned by Xing to the respective Xing account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Xing buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Share” button, Xing assigns this information to the personal Xing user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Xing always receives information via the Xing component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Xing at the time our website is accessed; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Xing component or not. If such transmission of this information to Xing is not desired by the data subject, the data subject can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Xing account before accessing our website.
The data protection provisions published by Xing, which can be accessed at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provide information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Xing. Furthermore, Xing has published data protection notices for the XING Share button at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.
Section 7 Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google Maps
The controller uses the Google Maps map service to embed an interactive map on some of its web pages.
The operating company of Google Maps is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA.
When using the services provided by Google Maps via JavaScript, Google Maps transmits personal data such as the IP address of the data subject. The transmission takes place when the data subject has enabled JavaScript in their browser. In addition, Google Maps uses cookies that may provide further information about the websites visited by the data subject. The latter can be prevented by an appropriate setting in the data subject’s internet browser. A JavaScript blocker can also prevent the processing of personal data by Google Maps; however, the functionality of these interactive maps will then also be lost.
Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Section 8 Registration on our website
The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, which also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject, the date, and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, enables committed criminal offenses to be clarified. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the transfer serves criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller’s database.
The controller shall provide any data subject, at any time upon request, with information as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Section 9 Contact option via the website
The website of Michael Kraus Industrial Sales Representation contains information required by law that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
Section 10 Existence of automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
