3. General information and mandatory information

Data privacy

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

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This data privacy statement explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Controller

The Controller for the data processing on this website is:

STADLER Anlagenbau GmbH
Max-Planck-Str. 21
88361 Altshausen

Telephone: +49 7584-9226-0
E-Mail: info@w-stadler.de

The Controller is the natural person or legal entity that decides alone or jointly with others about the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).

Storage period

Unless a specific storage period was specified in this data privacy statement, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have any other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax law or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.

GERMANY

Telephone: +49 151 176 409 68  
E-Mail: datenschutz@w-stadler.de 

Information data transfer to the USA

Our website includes tools of companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to the respective company’s US server. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data privacy law. US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) will process, evaluate and permanently save your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right of objection to data collection in special cases and direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS DONE BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS RESULTING FROM YOUR SPECIAL SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS REQUIRED ARE DISCLOSED IN THIS DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN FURNISH DOCUMENTARY PROOF OF COMPELLING AND LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSNG IS USED FOR THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (RIGHT OF OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED IN ORDER TO OPERATE DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS IS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (RIGHT OF OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another Controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or requests that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Information, deletion and correction

You have the right to information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of the processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time at the address indicated in the legal notice. The right to restrict the processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the inspection, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data occurred / occurs unlawfully, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of the deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of the deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance between your and our interests must be made. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - is only allowed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural person or legal entity or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Cookies

Our Internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a 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 yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies of third-party companies can also be stored on your device when you enter our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain third-party services (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or to display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions desired by you (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) are based on of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless otherwise stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • The accessing computer’s host name

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).

5. Social media

Social media plugins with Shariff

Social media plugins are used on this website (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).

You can usually recognize the plugins by the respective social media logos. To ensure data privacy on this website, we only use these plugins together with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the plugins integrated on this website from transferring data to the respective provider when you first access the page.

A direct connection to the provider's server is only established when you activate the respective plugin by clicking on the associated button (consent). As soon as you activate the plugin, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign your visit to this website to your user account.

The activation of the plugin constitutes a consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent with effect for the future at any time.

 

6. Analytical tools and marketing


Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that make it possible to recognize the user across multiple pages with the aim of analyzing the user patterns (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information recorded by Matomo about the use of this website will be stored on our server. Prior to archiving, the IP address will first be anonymized.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.
 

Brochure view with Flipping Book

On our website we present our brochures with the help of the provider Flipping Book. Visitors are not redirected to external sites. All brochures are stored on the servers of the hosting provider commissioned by Stadler Anlagenbau. According to Flipping Book, no personal data of the site visitor is stored. No cookies are used for the display. Data that is generated through use does not contain any personal reference and therefore cannot be traced back to the site visitor. The presentation of our brochures with Flipping Book is intended to provide the site visitor with a more pleasant presentation and more convenient operation. The legal basis for this is the legitimate interest of Stadler Anlagenbau. Information on data protection at Flipping Book can be found at: flippingbook.com/help/common/privacy-policy-and-disclaimer

7. Plugins and tools

YouTube with extended data privacy

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

We use YouTube in the extended data privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data privacy mode. In this way, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you are watching a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, 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 behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

In addition, YouTube can save various cookies on your device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, in order to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent attempted fraud.

If necessary, further data processing processes can be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent may be revoked at any time.

This website uses plugins of the Vimeo video portal. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with Vimeo videos, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. The Vimeo server is informed which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also receives your IP address. However, we have set Vimeo in such a way that Vimeo does not track your user activities and does not set cookies.

Vimeo is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent may be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission as well as according to Vimeo on “legitimate business interests”. Details can be found here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy location of the places indicated by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

8. Own services

Dealing with applicant’s data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via the online application form). In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with the applicable data privacy law and all other statutory provisions and that your data is treated a strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of the data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your related personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of job interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 German Federal Data Protection Act [BDSG] new 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. The consent may be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on to people within our company who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submit will be processed on the basis of Section 26 BDSG new and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of the implementation of the employment relationship stored in our data processing systems.

Retention period of the data

If we cannot make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to use the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months to be kept with us 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 storage serves in particular for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), it will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if deletion is prevented by statutory retention requirements.

Admission to the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant pool. In case of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies. Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The

submission agreement is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The affected person can revoke his agreement at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage. The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
