Thank you very much for your interest in our company. Schmitt Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We want you to feel safe when visiting our Internet pages.
The use of the Schmitt Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH website is generally possible without you needing to specify any personal data. However, if a person wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data.
If the processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, it is our standard practice to obtain the consent of the person concerned.
The protection of your privacy during the processing of your personal data is an important concern for us.

 Collection and Processing of Personal Data
By default, our web servers store the IP address assigned by the Internet provider, the URL from which you visit us, the web pages you have visited and the date and time of your visit. When using this data and information, Schmitt Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Such personal data which are transmitted voluntarily by a person to the person responsible for data processing are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the person concerned.

Embedded YouTube Videos
On some of our web pages we have embedded YouTube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers will be established. In the process, YouTube will be informed which pages you visit. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
People who have deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad program will prevent the storage of such cookies when watching YouTube videos.

Schmitt Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH, as the data controller, has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most best-possible protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
The data protection declaration of Schmitt Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance Giver for the adoption of the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO).

Use and Disclosure of Personal Data and Purpose Limitation
In accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, your personal data will only be collected, processed and used for the purpose of processing contracts and safeguarding our own legitimate business interests with regard to advising and supporting our customers and designing products to meet their needs.

Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data
The party responsible for the processing shall process and store the personal data of the person concerned only for the period of time necessary to achieve the storage purpose. If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Generator expires, the personal data shall be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions, insofar as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

Rights of the Person Concerned
On request, we will inform you in writing whether and which personal data we have stored in accordance with the applicable law, in accordance with Article 15 of the Data Protection Ordinance.
Any person concerned with the processing of his or her personal data shall have the right to request the party responsible for the processing to erase such data without delay

Security
Schmitt Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH uses technical and organizational security measures in order to protect your data administered by us from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you can contact our management, which is responsible for data protection, directly. Our management is also at your disposal for requests regarding information, applications or complaints.

Legal Basis of Processing
Art. 6 I lit. A DS-GVO serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract (e.g. delivery of goods or provision of other services) or pre-contractual measures (e.g. cases of inquiries regarding products and services), the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. B DS-GVO.

Duration for which the personal data is stored.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, insofar as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
