Compliance with statutory provisions, such as the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG, Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG, Telemediengesetz), as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), is a matter of course for us. We would like to briefly explain to you how we protect your data and what it means for you if you provide us with your personal data.

1. What is personal data?

Personal data is information that can be used to determine your identity. This includes your name, address, e-mail address, IP address or telephone number. It does not include information that a browser uses to access our content on a server.

2. Does Hauff-Technik GRIDCOM collect personal data?

Hauff-Technik GRIDCOM only collects the personal data required for purposes for which you have given us permission.

We request personal data if you make an enquiry about our products or receive a quotation. In such cases, we at least require your e-mail address. Additional information is required if you order products online and we are to deliver products to you or facilitate a download for you. You can, however, visit all areas of our website without disclosing personal data. Should you subscribe to our newsletter, you will receive information and offers concerning our products and those of our partners. We will not pass your address onto third parties. Opening and clicking behaviours are sometimes recorded. In all other respects, we refer to your rights as these are stipulated in Section 8.

We shall only use the information you provide to process the order and in order to inform you in future about other similar offers, including by e-mail.

3. What happens to the stored personal data?

We will only pass stored e-mail addresses onto third parties when instructed to do so by the police or state prosecution service or if we have been provided with a written or electronic declaration of consent. Other personal data that you disclose to us in association with the ordering of products, quotations or downloads is stored on protected computers in Germany. We use the data exclusively for purposes that you approve and are aware of in advance.

All employees of Hauff-Technik are bound to confidentiality pursuant to Section 5 BDSG and Art. 29 EU GDPR. We have taken technical and organisational measures as defined by Section 9 BDSG and Section 5 I f) EU GDPR to protect your data and also ensure that our partners take the appropriate measures to maintain data security. If, however, you are redirected to other websites via links on our Internet pages, we cannot control how your data is managed. We do, however, take steps to ensure that all of our partners maintain the same level of data protection as us and take the necessary measures (technical and organisational).

4. What are cookies?

We use cookies to optimise the Internet presence of Hauff-Technik GRIDCOM. Cookies are small text files that can be stored on a website visitor's hard drive. They allow you to personalise the settings on the website. We also use cookies to analyse the use of the websites in an anonymised or pseudonymised form. In some circumstances, this data can be enriched with additional demographic data (e.g. age and gender) during online surveys. You will also be made aware of this separately during the online survey.

If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your web surfing activities) are stored, these shall be covered separately in this privacy statement.

5. Use of Matomo and cooperation with service providers

This website uses Matomo, a webs analysis service.

Matomo uses cookies that are stored on the hard drive of your computer and that are accessed by Matomo when you visit our website so that we can analyse how you use our website through your computer. Cookies of this kind allow us in particular to record the page that your browser accesses and the page accessed before this, thus facilitating the creation of profiles relating to the use of our website by your computer. Matomo also collects the IP address of your computer in this connection. However, this is anonymised during the saving process in accordance with the specifications of German data protection supervision. The Matomo software runs on our own servers in Germany, so Hauff-Technik GRIDCOM GmbH has full control over user data.

The cookies are evaluated to analyse where the visitors to our website come from and what activities they carry out on our website. We use these analyses for the purposes of advertising, and market research and in order to improve our services. Storage and processing is carried out on our behalf by Matomo. In this respect, Matomo has undertaken to store and process the data exclusively on servers in the European Union, except in technical emergencies. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Matomo will then place a special opt-out cookie on your computer. This cookie does not contain values suitable for the formation of a usage profile; it only allows Matomo to detect the issued objection and prevents Matomo from saving data to the server with the aim of creating a profile. As described above, you can also stop cookies being saved to your hard drive altogether.
