Data collection on this website

Cookies
a) We use cookies on our website or websites. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our websites. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware. Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity. On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more convenient for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

b) In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specified period of time. If you visit our website again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

c) On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

d) The cookies process data and are necessary for the purposes mentioned to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Consent with Cookie Consent Manager CCM19
This website uses a cookie tool CCM19 with technology from Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn, Germany (hereinafter „CCM19“) to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent. By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, a banner is displayed to users when they access the page, in which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. The CCM19 blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's end device if consent has been granted. So that CCM19 can clearly assign page views to individual users and individually record, log and store the consent settings made by the user for the duration of a session, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected by CCM19 when our website is accessed, transmitted to Papoo Software & Media GmbH servers and stored there.
This data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website. Another legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent. We have concluded an order processing contract with Papoo Software & Media GmbH, in which we oblige Papoo Software & Media GmbH to protect the data of visitors to our website and not to pass it on to third parties. Further information on the use of data by Papoo Software & Media GmbH can be found in the Usercentrics data protection declaration at: https://www.ccm19.de/datenschutzerklaerung.html

We use HubSpot on our website, a service provided by HubSpot Inc, 25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA. HubSpot is an integrated software solution that we use to map our marketing, sales and service activities.

HubSpot is used in particular for:

Personal data may be processed in the course of using HubSpot, in particular

• IP address
• Date and time of access

In addition, conversion data can be transmitted via HubSpot to advertising platforms such as Google Ads and Meta to measure whether an ad has resulted in an inquiry or a lead. This may occur in particular when a contact in HubSpot reaches a specific lifecycle stage, such as „Lead.“ In this process, personal data such as email addresses, phone numbers, address information, and technical identifiers may be processed and transmitted to the respective advertising platform. The advertising platform can match this data with existing user data to attribute conversions to our advertising campaigns and to measure or optimize campaign performance. This data is transmitted only if the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) and - if applicable - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in optimizing our marketing and communication processes).

HubSpot uses cookies. The integration takes place exclusively after corresponding consent via our cookie banner.

We have concluded an order processing contract with HubSpot (Art. 28 GDPR). A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. HubSpot provides suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR (including through the conclusion of standard contractual clauses).

Data subjects have the right to object to the processing at any time on grounds relating to their particular situation.

Privacy policy for Microsoft Teams
We use the „Microsoft Teams“ service from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA (hereinafter „Microsoft Teams“) to conduct online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars. When using Microsoft Teams, different data is processed.
The scope of the data processed depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an online meeting, video conference or webinar. When using Microsoft Teams, data of the communication participants is processed and stored on Microsoft Teams servers. This data may include, in particular, your login data (name, email address, telephone (optional) and password) and meeting data (topic, participant IP address, device information, description (optional)).
In addition, visual and audio contributions from participants as well as voice input in chats may be processed. When processing personal data that is required to fulfill a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. If you have given us your consent to process your data, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing when conducting online meetings, video conferences or webinars is our legitimate interest in the effective conduct of the online meeting, webinar or video conference in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Our website uses plugins from the Google-operated YouTube site. The operator of this site is: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html,
Overview of data protection: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de,
and the privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies in your browser settings.

Use of videos (without YouTube)
Videos are only made available on our website via our own web server. They are not integrated via external services such as YouTube. No cookies are set when these videos are played and no data is transferred to third parties - in particular not to Google or YouTube. No personal data is collected or analyzed.
 
Linking to social networks
On our website you will find links to our profiles on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. These are only simple redirects. When you visit our website, there is no automatic connection to the servers of these platforms. Only when you actively click on a corresponding link will the respective page open in a new browser tab. For additional security, we use the HTML attribute rel=“noreferrer“ to prevent the origin address (referrer) from being transmitted to the respective provider when you click. This means that the social networks do not receive any information about the subpage of our website from which the call was made. The statistical evaluations that we can view as the operator of our social media profiles are based exclusively on the functions that the respective platforms generally provide for profile operators. This data has no connection with your visit to our website.
 
Use of social plugins
No social plugins are used on our website. No Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or YouTube functions are actively integrated that would transfer data when the page is accessed.

Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to the websites of third parties. Ernst REINER® GmbH & Co. KG is not responsible for the data protection precautions or the content of websites outside Ernst REINER® GmbH & Co. KG.

Data management
Ernst REINER® GmbH & Co. KG only retains personal data for as long as required by the purpose or legal provisions for which it was collected.

eCommerce and payment providers
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of this website (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable or charge the user for the use of the service.
The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data protection information in the application process/ handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via the online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data retention period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
