As of: May 2021

1 Information about the collection of personal data and provider identification
1.1 In the following section, we inform you about the collection of personal data when you use this website. Personal data includes all data that relates to you personally, such as your name, address, e-mail addresses and user behaviour.
1.2 The service provider in accordance with Section 13 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and the data controller according to the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) is S+S Regeltechnik GmbH, Thurn-und-Taxis-Str. 22, 90411 Nuremberg, Germany (“S+S”), Telephone: +49 (0) 911 51947 0, E-mail: mail@SplusS.de, refer to our legal notice for details.
1.3 We wish to inform you that the provision of personal data may in some cases be prescribed by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may arise due to contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contractual partner). From time to time, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which we must subsequently process for the purpose of concluding a contract. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with the data subject. The failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject.
1.4 Insofar as we obtain consent for processing your personal data, Art. 6 (1) letter (a) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for the data processing. If the processing of personal data is required for the performance of a contract whose contractual party is the data subject, as is the case for processing operations, and if this processing is required for the provision of a service or return service, then such processing shall be conducted on the basis of Art. 6 (1) letter (b) of the GDPR. The same applies for processing operations that are necessary in order to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example, in the case of requests for services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that necessitates the processing of personal data, for example, for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) letter (c) of the GDPR. Furthermore, Art. 6 (1) letter (f) of the GDPR shall be considered as the legal basis for data processing if the processing of your personal data is necessary to pursue a legitimate interest of our company or a third party where your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not require the protection of personal data.
1.5 We shall only use your personal information to provide the services you have requested. Insofar as external service providers are used by us within the scope of the provision of services, their access to the data shall also be exclusively for the purpose of the provision of services. We ensure compliance with the data protection specifications through technical and organisational measures and also oblige our external service providers to do so. Furthermore, we do not disclose the data to third parties without your express consent, especially not for advertising purposes.
Your personal data shall only be disclosed if you yourself have consented to the data being disclosed or if we are entitled or obliged to do so on the basis of statutory provisions and/or official/court orders. In particular, this may involve the provision of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, for the prevention of danger or for the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

2 Your rights
2.1 You have the right to request information from us at any time about the data we store about you, as well as its origin and the recipients or categories of recipients to whom this data is disclosed and about the purpose of its storage.
2.2 If necessary, you can request the rectification and/or erasure or blocking of your personal data. You can also request a restriction of processing and have the right to object. With regard to the personal data you have provided to us, you also have a right to data portability.
2.3 Please send all requests for information or objections to the processing of data by e-mail to Datenschutz(at)SplusS(dot)de or to the address listed under Section 1 Par. 2.

3 Revocation of consent
If you have given your consent to the use of data, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until such revocation takes place.

4 Data security
We employ the latest technical measures to guarantee data security and, in particular, to protect your personal data against dangers when it is transmitted and to prevent its disclosure to third parties. These measures are continuously updated to incorporate the latest technology.

14 Customer account
14.1 You can register for the use of our offers on a voluntary basis. All information about you, your company and orders is managed centrally in the customer account. In this way, you have the possibility to manage, update and, if necessary, erase all data from the entries from a central location. The legal basis for the processing of registration data in the case of consent is Art. 6 (1) letter (a) of the GDPR. If you register with us to fulfil or initiate a contract, the legal basis for the processing of the data is additionally Art. 6 (1) letter (b) of the GDPR.
14.2 In order to use the full range of functions of the customer account, it is necessary to verify the e-mail address provided to us during registration. For this purpose, we will send a confirmation link to the e-mail address provided, which must be opened by you. This procedure serves on the one hand to ensure the security of your data, and on the other hand to ensure communication regarding services, delivery status or state of payment to a valid e-mail address.
14.3 You can use our respective offers without using a customer account.
If you want to stop the storage of data in the customer account altogether, you can request your customer account to be erased.

As a rule, the essential data can be viewed and amended or erased directly on the website. The user can erase his/her customer account at any time by requesting its erasure from S+S. This request can also be made directly on the website.

15 Communication with S + S
You can contact us in various ways, including via the contact form on our website. We will also be happy to provide you regular information in our newsletter, which is sent by e-mail. If you wish to use the contact form in our website, we collect the personal data that you enter in the contact form, in particular your name and e-mail address.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6 (1) letter (a) of the GDPR. After we have processed the matter, the data will be temporarily stored in case of any queries. The erasure of the data can be requested at any time, otherwise it shall take place after completion of the matter; statutory retention obligations remain unaffected in each case.

16 General information about the erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data about the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European body for issuing directives and regulations or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European body for issuing directives and regulations or by another responsible legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the legal requirements. The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. On expiry of the period, the relevant data is routinely erased insofar as it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

17 Complaints
If you believe that we are not processing your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy or applicable data protection laws, you may lodge a complaint with our Data Protection Officer. The Data Protection Officer will then review the matter and inform you of the outcome of
the review. In addition, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

18 Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites. These links are usually marked as such. We have no influence on the extent to which the applicable data protection regulations are observed on the linked websites. We therefore recommend that you also inform yourself about the respective privacy policies of other websites.
