General information and mandatory information
Data
protection
The operators of this website and its pages take
the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your
personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory
data protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of
personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can
be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains
which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also
explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the transmission of
data via the Internet (i.e. through e-mail communications) may be prone to
security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against
third-party access.
Information about the responsible party
(referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)
The data processing controller on this website
is:
Gebr. Pfeiffer SE
Barbarossastraße 50-54
67655 Kaiserslautern
Phone: +49 (631) 4161-0
E-mail: info@gebr-pfeiffer.com
The controller is the natural person or legal
entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the
purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g. names,
e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been
specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until
the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a
justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your
data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for
storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in
the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to
apply.
Designation of a data protection officer as
mandated by law
We have appointed a data protection officer for
our company.

Information on data transfer to the USA
Our website uses, in
particular, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are
active, your personal information may be transferred to the US servers of these
companies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third country within
the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are required to release
personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being
able to take legal action against this. The possibility cannot therefore be
excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and
permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence over these processing
activities.
Revocation of your consent to the processing
of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are
possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time
any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the
lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in
special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE
BASIS OF ART. 6 SECT. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME
OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM
YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE
PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS
BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN
OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE
IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE
PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR
IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF
LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN
ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT
TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH
ADVERTISING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED
WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL
SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION
PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 2 GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with the competent
supervisory agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data
subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually
maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged
violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any
other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over
any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to
fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used,
machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data
to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the
transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you
submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS
encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking
whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to
“https://” and also by the appearance of
the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data
you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information about, rectification and
eradication of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory
provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your
archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of
the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data
rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any
other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at
any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.”
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of
restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do
so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in section
“Information Required by Law.” The right to demand restriction of
processing applies in the following cases:
· In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data
archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the
time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we
restrict the processing of your personal data.
· If the
processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you
have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in
lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
· If we do not
need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim
legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the
processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
· If you have
raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our
rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as
it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to
demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your
personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving –
may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend
legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal
entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union
or a member state of the EU.
4. Recording of data on this website
Cookies
Our websites and pages use what the industry
refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not
cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the
duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on
your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once
you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device
until you actively delete them or they are
automatically eradicated by your web browser.
In some cases, it is possible that third-party
cookies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third-party
cookies). These cookies enable you or us to take advantage of certain services
offered by the third party (e.g. cookies for the processing of payment
services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many
cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not
work in the absence of the cookies (e.g. the shopping cart function or the
display of videos). The purpose of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns
or the display of promotional messages.
Cookies, which are required for the performance
of electronic communication transactions (required cookies) or for the
provision of certain functions you want to use (functional cookies, e.g. for
the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization of
the website (e.g. cookies that provide measurable insights into the web
audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a
different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate
interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the technically error free and
optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the
storage of the cookies has been requested, the respective cookies are stored
exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art.
6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in
such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to
permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude
the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete
function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If
cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
In the event
that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are
used for analytical purposes, we will separately notify you in conjunction with
this Data Protection Policy and, if applicable, ask for your consent.
Server log files
The provider of this website and its pages
automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files,
which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:
· The type and
version of browser used
·
The used operating system
·
Referrer URL
· The hostname of
the accessing computer
· The time of the
server inquiry
·
The IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the
basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a
legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the
optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server
log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact
form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact
information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your
inquiry and in the event that we have further
questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6
para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract
or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases
the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing
of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your
agreement (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.
The information you have entered into the
contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data,
revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the
information is being archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have concluded
our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory
legal provisions – in particular retention
periods.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax,
your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored
and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass
these data on without your consent.
These data are processed on
the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to
the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of
pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the
basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries
submitted to us (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on the basis of your consent
(Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been obtained.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests
remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the
storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your
request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular
statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You have the option to register on this website
to be able to use additional website functions. We shall use the data you enter
only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service you have

We shall process the data entered during the
registration process on the basis of your consent
(Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR).

shall be without prejudice to mandatory statutory retention obligations.
5. eCommerce and payment service providers
Processing of data (customer and contract
data)
We collect, process and use personal data only
to the extent necessary for the establishment, content organization or change
of the legal relationship (data inventory). These actions are taken on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits
the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual
actions. We collect, process and use personal data concerning the use of this
website (usage data) only to the extent that this is necessary to make it
possible for users to utilize the services and to bill for them.
The collected customer data shall be eradicated
upon completion of the order or the termination of the business relationship.
This shall be without prejudice to any statutory retention mandates.
6. Online-based Audio and Video Conferences
(Conference tools)
Data processing
We use online conference tools, among other
things, for communication with our customers. The tools we use are listed in
detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the
Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of
the respective conference tool and by us. The conferencing tools collect all
information that you provide/access to use the tools (email address and/or your
phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the
conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of
participants and other “context information” related to the
communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes
all the technical data required for the processing of the online communication.
This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC
addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client
version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection.
Should content be exchanged, uploaded or
otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of
the tool provider. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud
recordings, chat/ instant messages, voicemail uploaded photos and videos,
files, whiteboards and other information shared while using the service.
Please note that we do not have complete
influence on the data processing procedures of the tools used. Our
possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective
provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be
found in the data protection declarations of the tools used, and which we have
listed below this text.
Purpose and legal bases
The conference tools are used to communicate
with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services
to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use
of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us
or our company (legitimate interest in the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f
GDPR). Insofar as consent has been requested, the tools in question will be
used on the basis of this consent; the consent may be
revoked at any time with effect from that date.
Duration of storage
Data collected directly by us via the video and
conference tools will be deleted from our systems immediately after you request
us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the reason for storing the
data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you
delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the duration of storage
of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their
own purposes. For details, please contact directly the operators of the
conference tools.

protection related information: If you are contacting us via e-mail, we will
