The following gives a simple overview of what happens to your personal information when you visit this website. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy found below.

The data collected on this website are processed by the website operator. You can find the latter's contact details in the “Notice concerning the party responsible for this website” section in this Privacy Policy. 

Some data are collected when you provide it to us. This could, for example, be data you enter on a contact form.

Other data are collected automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. These data are primarily technical data such as the browser and operating system you are using or when you accessed the page. These data are collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

Part of the data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website. Other data can be used to analyse how visitors use the site.

You always have the right to request information about your stored data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of its collection at no charge. You also have the right to request that it be corrected or deleted. You can withdraw any consent you have given for processing your data at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to request for the processing of personal data to be restricted under certain circumstances. You may also, of course, file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities.

You can contact us at any time if you have further questions about the issue of privacy and data protection.

When visiting this website, statistical analyses may be made of your surfing behaviour. This happens primarily using analytics programmes.

Detailed information on these analytics programmes can be found in the following Privacy Policy.

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

If you use this website, various pieces of personal data will be collected. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. via email communication) may be subject to security breaches. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

The party responsible for processing data on this website is:

Becker-Antriebe GmbH

Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 2-4

35764 Sinn

Germany

Telephone: +49 (0) 2772 / 507-0

Email: info@becker-antriebe.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Unless a specific storage duration has been specified in this Privacy Policy, we store your personal data until the purpose for the data processing activities ceases to exist. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent to data processing activities, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal details (e.g. storage periods under tax or trade law). In the latter case, the data is deleted once these reasons cease to exist.

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company.

RPA Datenschutz + Compliance GmbH

represented by Henning Koch and Ilja Borchers

Hauser Gasse 19b

Germany

Telephone: +49 (0) 6441 / 67100 - 0

Email: datenschutz@becker-antriebe.com

Some of the tools used by us are from companies with head office in the USA or other third countries that are unsafe in terms of data protection. When these tools are activated, your personal data can be transferred to, and processed in, these third countries. Please note that no data protection standard comparable with the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. US companies, for example, must disclose personal data to security agencies without you, the data subject, being able to take court action against such procedures. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, analyse and permanently store your data stored on US servers for surveillance services. We cannot influence these processing activities.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

IF THE DATA IS PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES WITH REGARD TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASES OF THE PROCESSING ACTIVITIES ARE STATED IN THE PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE SHALL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING, PROTECTABLE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING ACTIVITIES THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING ACTIVITIES SERVE TO ASSERT, ENFORCE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING PURPOSES. THIS ALSO APPLIES WITH REGARD TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA SHALL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the affected data subjects have the right to complain to a regulatory authority, particularly in the member state where they habitually reside and/or work or in the place of the alleged violation. The right to complain exists regardless of other legal appeals under administrative law or before the courts.

You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock icon is displayed in your browser's address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions about this issue and the topic of personal data.

You have the right to request for the processing of your personal data to be restricted. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. You have the right to restrict processing in the following circumstances;

• If you dispute the correctness of your personal data stored by us, we usually require time to check such claim. For the duration of this check, you have the right to request for the processing of your personal data to be restricted.

• If your personal data was/is processed illegitimately, you can request for the data processing activities to be restricted instead of the data being deleted.

• When we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for exercising, defending or asserting legal claims, you have the right to request for the processing of your personal data to be restricted instead of the data being deleted.

• If you have raised an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your and our interests have to be weighed up against each other. As long as it has not been ascertained whose interests outweigh whose, you have the right to request for the processing of your personal data to be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed – with the exception of their storage – with your consent or to assert, enforce or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or one of its member states.

We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operator reserves the right to take specific legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.

Our web pages use cookies. These are small text files that do not damage your device. They are installed temporarily for the duration of one session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or your browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies can sometimes also be installed on your device by third parties when you enter our website (third party cookies). This enables us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically required as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the basket function or video displays). Other cookies serve to analyse user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies that are required (essential cookies) for performing the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions required by you (functional cookies, e.g. for the basket function) or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring visitors) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If consent for the storage of cookies has been requested, the respective cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). This consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If third-party cookies or cookies for analysis purposes are used, you will be informed about this separately within the scope of this Privacy Policy and your consent may be requested.

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transfers to us. These are:

• Browser type and version

• Operating system

• Referrer URL

• Hostname of the accessing computer

• Time of your server query

• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is stored based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the proper technical display and optimisation of its website. Server log files have to be collected for this purpose. The server log files are deleted no later than 10 days from the end of your website visit.

When you contact us via email, phone or fax, we store and process your enquiry and all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) for the purpose of processing your enquiry. We do not share this information without your permission.

This data is processed based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is connected with the fulfilment of a contract or is required for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiry sent to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) if the latter was requested from you.

We will retain the data you send to us when you contact us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory legal provisions, especially legal retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

You can register on this website in order to access additional functions offered here. The input data will only be used for the purpose of using the respective site or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.

To inform you about important changes such as those within the scope of our site or technical changes, we will use the email address specified during registration.

The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of performing the user relationship based on the registration and, if necessary, for initiating additional contracts (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR).

We will continue to store the data collected during registration for as long as you remain registered on this website. We delete the data once you deregister. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. The website operator receives various user data, such as pages accessed, length of stay, operating system and user origin. Google may compile this data in a profile that is allocated to the respective user and/or their device.

We can also record your mouse and scrolling movements and clicks with Google Analytics. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets as well as machine learning technology for the data analyses.

Google Analytics uses technologies that make it possible to recognise the user for the purpose of analysing the user’s behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analysis tool is used based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both its website and its advertising. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent for the storage of cookies), the processing is exclusively based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. This consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Go here for details: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

We have activated the IP anonymisation feature on this website. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

You can block Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information about how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

We have entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of our data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

This website uses Google Analytic's “Demographics” function to display adverts within the Google advertising network that are of interest to the website user. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".

User and event data stored by Google that is linked with cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. double-click cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after two months. For details, go to: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

We use tools such as the Google Remarketing customer reconciliation for creating target groups. When doing so, we transfer certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer list to Google. If the affected customers are Google users and logged into their Google accounts, suitable adverts within the Google network (e.g. on YouTube, in Gmail or the search engine) are displayed to them.

This website integrates YouTube videos. The provider of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information on the visitors of this website prior to watching a video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily rule out the transfer of data to YouTube partners. YouTube creates a link to the Google double-click network, regardless if you watch a video or not.

A connection to the YouTube servers is created as soon as you start a YouTube video on this website. The YouTube server is informed about our pages you have visited during this process. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your surfing behaviour to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Once a video has started, YouTube can also store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). YouTube can thus obtain information about your visit to this website. This information is used for actions such as recording video statistics, improving user friendliness and preventing attempted fraud.

Additional data processing activities may be triggered after starting a YouTube video. We do not have any influence on these.

We use YouTube to create appealing website contents. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is exclusively based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. This consent can be withdrawn at any time.
