Imprint & Privacy Policy of Engineer Glaser

I. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and other national data protection laws of the Member States as well as other data protection provisions is the person named in the Imprint.

II. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

To the extent that we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override that interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject are deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may continue if provided for by Union or national legislation in regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

III. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.

The following data are collected:

1. Information about the browser type and the version used
2. The user's operating system
3. The user's Internet service provider
4. The user's IP address
5. Date and time of access
6. Websites from which the user's system accessed our website
7. Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

The data are also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serve us for the technical optimization of the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

This purpose also constitutes our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of collecting the data to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case at the latest after seven days. Further storage beyond this is possible. In that case, the users' IP addresses will be deleted or altered so that assignment to the requesting client is no longer possible.

5. Right to object and removal options

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Therefore the user has no possibility to object.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user's email address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.

Other personal data collected as part of the registration process are generally deleted after a period of seven days.

5. Right to object and removal options

The newsletter subscription can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. For this purpose, each newsletter contains an appropriate link.

This also enables the revocation of consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

VI. Registration

1. Description and scope of data processing

On our website we offer users the option to register by providing personal data. The data are entered into an input form, transmitted to us and stored. The data are not passed on to third parties. The data provided during registration are collected as part of the registration process.
The following data are also stored at the time of registration:

1. The user's IP address
2. Date and time of registration

As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of these data is obtained.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing the data, if the user has given consent, is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

If the registration serves to fulfil a contract to which the user is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for processing the data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

A user registration is required to provide certain content and services on our website.

A user registration is also necessary to fulfil a contract with the user or to carry out pre-contractual measures.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.

This applies to the data collected during the registration process when the registration on our website is cancelled or amended.

This applies to the data collected during the registration process for the fulfilment of a contract or the performance of pre-contractual measures when the data are no longer necessary for the performance of the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to retain the contracting party's personal data in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

5. Right to object and removal options

As a user, you have the option at any time to terminate the registration. The data stored about you can be changed at any time. To do so, contact us using the contact details provided in the imprint.
If the data are necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not oppose deletion.

VII. Contact form and e-mail contact

1. Description and scope of data processing

There is a contact form on our website that can be used for electronic contact. If a user uses this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

At the time the message is sent, the following data are also stored:

1. The user's IP address
2. Date and time of registration

For the processing of the data, your consent is obtained as part of the submission process and reference is made to this privacy policy.

The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves solely to handle the contact request. In the case of contact by e-mail, the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data also exists.

The other personal data processed during the submission process serve to prevent abuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the contact form input mask and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is ended. The conversation is considered ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The personal data additionally collected during the submission process will be deleted no later than after a period of seven days.

5. Right to object and removal options

The user has the right at any time to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data. If the user contacts us by e-mail, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
All personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted in this case.

VIII. Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

Matomo offers various options for web analytics. This tool offers the possibility to operate without setting cookies and only with anonymized or without IP addresses. Consequently, the consent requirements then do not apply. The explanation presented below represents the standard case in which cookies are set.

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze users' surfing behavior. The software places a cookie on users' devices (see Cookies above). When individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data are stored:

1. Two bytes of the IP address of the user's requesting system
2. The page accessed
3. The website from which the user reached the accessed page (referrer)
4. The subpages accessed from the accessed page
5. The time spent on the page
6. The frequency of page visits

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. Personal data of users are stored only there. No transfer of the data to third parties takes place.
The software is configured so that IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to link the shortened IP address to the requesting computer.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for processing users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze users' surfing behavior. By evaluating the collected data, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. Our legitimate interest in processing the data under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is also reflected in these purposes. By anonymizing the IP address, the users' interest in the protection of their personal data is adequately taken into account.

4. Duration of storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes.

5. Right to object and removal options

Cookies are stored on the user's device and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, as a user you also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your web browser you can disable or restrict the storage of cookies. Already stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website fully.

IX. Integration of external services

Embedding YouTube videos

We embed videos from the YouTube service on our website, an offering of Google LLC (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). When you play a video, your browser automatically sends data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, date/time and interactions to the YouTube servers. YouTube may also use cookies and similar technologies. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in providing multimedia content). Because YouTube sets tracking cookies, we obtain your consent in advance. You can withdraw your consent at any time in our cookie settings. Data are transferred to the USA; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework ("Privacy Shield"). Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You have all data subject rights under the GDPR.

Embedding Vimeo videos

We embed videos from the Vimeo service on our website. The provider is Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, New York, NY 10001, USA. As soon as you start such a video, your browser automatically establishes a connection to the Vimeo servers. In particular, your IP address, information about browser/operating system, date and time of access, and your interactions (e.g. start, pause) are transmitted. Vimeo uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. The embedded player sets, among others, the cookie "vuid" (storage duration ≈ 2 years, purpose = usage statistics) and "player" (≈ 1 year, purpose = storing your player settings); additional technically necessary cookies may be added, e.g. for bot protection.
The legal basis for the integration is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in an appealing, multimedia presentation of our offerings). Because the Vimeo player can set cookies for reach and usage analysis, we obtain your express consent before loading the player in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time in the cookie settings of our website with effect for the future.
By using the player, personal data are transferred to the USA. Vimeo participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and is thus certified under Art. 45 GDPR for transatlantic data transfers.
For more information about data processing by Vimeo, please see the provider's privacy policy at https://vimeo.com/privacy. You have all data subject rights under the GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, complaint to a supervisory authority).

Embedding of Google Maps

On our website we use the Google Maps mapping service from Google LLC (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). With each map request, your browser automatically transmits data such as IP address, browser type, geo-data (if shared), date/time and cookies to Google's servers. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an interactive map display). Prior consent is required because Google Maps may set tracking cookies. You can revoke consent at any time in our cookie settings. Data are transferred to the USA; Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Data subject rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection.

Embedding of OpenStreetMap

Our website uses OpenStreetMap, provided by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (65 Leazes Park Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4PF, United Kingdom). When loading the map, only map data (tile images, scripts) are retrieved from the OpenStreetMap server; personal data are only collected if you agree to share your device's location. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in map display). OpenStreetMap does not set tracking cookies, so no consent is required. The servers are located in Europe; no transfer to third countries takes place. More information: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy. Data subject rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection.

Embedding of tawk.to chat

On our website we use the live chat service tawk.to, a service of tawk.to Inc. (187 East Warm Springs Rd, SB298, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119, USA). When the chat widget is loaded, data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, date/time of access and, if applicable, location data and cookies are automatically transmitted to tawk.to. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in direct user communication). Because tawk.to sets cookies, your consent for this processing is required and can be revoked at any time via our cookie banner. Data are transferred to the USA under tawk.to's participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF. More information can be found in tawk.to's privacy policy at https://www.tawk.to/privacy-policy/. You have the rights under the GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection).

Embedding of Google Fonts

We use fonts ("Google Web Fonts") from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, on our website to improve readability and provide a consistent appearance. The font files are only loaded after you have explicitly consented to the corresponding category ("Fonts/External Media") via our consent banner. Only after your consent will your browser connect to the domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com; in doing so, your IP address and certain technical information (e.g. browser type, operating system and referrer URL) are transmitted to Google in the USA. The legal basis for this data processing is your voluntary consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, given solely for the stated purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by clicking “Change settings” in the cookie banner or by deleting the relevant cookies in your browser. Details on retention periods and the scope of data processed by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. For more information about your rights and general privacy information, please refer to the other sections of this privacy policy.

Embedding of Google Analytics (GA4)

We use the web analytics tool Google Analytics version 4 on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The service provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; for Europe, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, acts. The purpose of processing is to statistically analyze user behavior on our website, measure reach and continually optimize our content.
For this purpose, Google Analytics stores, among other things, device and browser information, pseudonymized user IDs, visited pages, dwell time, click paths, rough location data and events defined by us (e.g. scroll depth or video views). The IP address is shortened (so-called IP anonymization) within the EU or EEA before any further processing so that no direct personal reference remains.
The collected information may be transferred to Google servers in the USA and processed there. Google relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for these transfers; in addition, there is a data processing agreement with Google pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. By default, user and event data are retained for 14 months and then automatically deleted or anonymized; differing retention periods are documented by us in the Google Analytics interface.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by disabling the “Statistics” category in our cookie banner. In addition, Google provides a browser add-on to disable Google Analytics https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The lawfulness of processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary

1. for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where

1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and
2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This shall be without prejudice to the freedoms and rights of others.
The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data which is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to object

You shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

You shall have the right, in the context of the use of information society services, irrespective of Directive 2002/58/EC, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you by automated means using technical specifications.

You also have the right to object, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR.

Your right to object may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render the achievement of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously impair them and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

8. Right to withdraw the data protection consent statement

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent statement at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the withdrawal.

9. Automated individual decision-making including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply where the decision

1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and those laws contain appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, such decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken.

In relation to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention by the controller, to express your own point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you violates the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
