3. General notes and mandatory information  

Data protection

The controller takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what 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 over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible entities/controller

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Nidec SYS GmbH
Josef-Buchinger-Str.8
94481 Grafenau

Phone: +49 (0) 8552/9639-0
E-mail: info@nidecsys.com

Storage duration

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

Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company in accordance with Art. 37 et seq. GDPR for our company.

Ramona Höfler
aigner business solutions GmbH

Phone: +49 8505 91927-0
E-Mail: ramona.hoefler@aigner-business-solutions.com
Website: https://www.aigner-business-solutions.com

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using data processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Note on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Some companies have become party to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. These companies undertake to offer a similar data processing standard as regulated within the EU.

Forwarding to third-party websites

We have included links to the websites of third parties. If you click on these links, data will be transmitted to the operator of the website. This privacy policy does not regulate the collection, transfer or handling of personal data by third parties. Please check the privacy policy of the responsible party.

Declaration of consent according to §25 (1) TDDDG

Depending on your consent, we use various tools on our website that process your data. If we base data processing on your declaration of consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and inform you in our privacy policy about the purpose and mode of action of the declaration of consent, your consent also applies within the meaning of §25 (1) TDDDG.

Please refer to the privacy policy to find out which cookies, plug-ins and other data processing tools are used.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Rights of the data subjects

In the following, we would like to inform you about your rights under the GDPR:

Information option

You have the right to request information from the controller as to whether and which of your personal data is being processed.

For this purpose, the controller shall provide an overview of the processing purposes, the categories of personal data processed and the respective recipients or categories of recipients in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.

Rights to rectification, erasure and restriction of processing

In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data.

In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to demand that the controller erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, provided that no other legal requirement precludes erasure.

In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request the restriction of processing if

• the accuracy of the personal data is contested,

• the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead,

• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims,

• you object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right of objection

In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. The controller will then no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject. 

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes (Art. 21 (2) GDPR). 

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which the controller processes automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Right of appeal

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this regulation.

Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

• Browser type and browser version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Host name of the accessing computer

• Time of the server request

• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.  

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

Request by e-mail or telephone  

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (e.g. name, inquiry content), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Contact form 

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the contact details you provide and the content of your inquiry will be stored by us for processing. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

The data you provide will remain with us until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies or you ask us to delete it. Legal provisions, in particular retention obligations, remain unaffected by this.

Newsletter data 

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use the newsletter service providers described below to process the newsletter. 

Rapidmail

This website uses Rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.

Rapidmail is a service that can be used to organize and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on Rapidmail’s servers in Germany.

Data analysis by Rapidmail 

For analysis purposes, the emails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called “tracking pixel”, which connects to the Rapidmail servers when the email is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.

We can also use Rapidmail to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked on. All links in the email are so-called tracking links, which can be used to count your clicks. If you do not wish to be analyzed by Rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.

For more information on the analysis functions of Rapidmail, please see the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.

Legal basis 

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage duration 

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time.

You can object to the storage at any time with effect for the future, provided that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For more information, please refer to Rapidmail’s data security information at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.

LinkedIn and Facebook have a location in the EU. However, according to the providers, it cannot be ruled out that no data is transferred to other locations. A possible transfer of data to the USA and other third countries cannot be completely ruled out.

The possible data transfer to the USA takes place on the basis of consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a), Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR, unless the respective provider is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
