When processing personal data, Vibracoustic CV Air Springs complies with the relevant statutory data protection and data security regulations in the countries concerned as well as with internal data protection regulations.

§1 For what purpose and under what legal basis is your personal data collected and processed?

In principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as the content and services. The personal data of our users is collected and used only with the user’s consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)). An exception applies in cases, where the processing of the data is mandatory due to statutory regulations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU GDPR) or technical reasons (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the interest of a properly functioning website).

If we obtain the consent of the data subject to the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR applies as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

In the processing of personal data, required to fulfil a contract, to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR applies as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.

Insofar as it is necessary to process personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to be met by our company, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR applies as legal basis.

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

If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the interest mentioned first, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR applies as legal basis for processing. Our justified interest in the processing of the personal data of the data subject lies in the provision of a functioning website.

§2 Which categories of personal data are processed?

If you use our website, technical data such as the IP address of your network, date, time, time zone and status of the requested file, information about the website that referred you to our site, your browser type and the version of your operating system are sent to us and stored for a limited period of time as described below.

The data, including the IP addresses of the user, are also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Any data stored in log files will be deleted after ten days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is not possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Therefore, the user cannot object to this.

You must give your explicit consent when you provide us with personal data through this website. The data is only used for the stated purpose.

§3 What rights do you have?

Under the EU GDPR, you have the following rights:

If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR). If incorrect personal data is processed, you are entitled to its correction (Art. 16 GDPR). If the legal prerequisites exist, you can request the deletion or limitation of the processing as well as object to the processing (Articles 17, 18 and 21 GDPR). If you request a limitation, it may not be possible to initiate or process the transaction (such as deleting parts of the contact information, thus preventing communication with you or preventing the formation of a contract).

If you have consented to data processing or there is a data processing contract, and the processing of data is done through automated procedures, you may be entitled to data transmission (Art. 20 GDPR).

You have the right to revoke your data protection consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

If we process your data on the basis of our predominant legitimate interest, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. Your personal data will no longer be processed unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

For the exercise of your rights as the data subject, a letter by mail to the below-mentioned address or an email to data-protection@vibracoustic.com is sufficient:

Vibracoustic CV Air Springs GmbH

If you exercise your rights mentioned above, Vibracoustic CV Air Springs will check whether the legal requirements for this are met.

You also have the right to complain to any data protection supervisory authority. The supervisory authority responsible for Vibracoustic CV Air Springs GmbH is:

§4 When will your personal data be deleted?

We will delete your personal data or limit its processing as soon as the purpose of the processing ceases to exist. Such storage may also take place if specified by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations, to which the controller is subject. A restriction or deletion of the data occurs even if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion or fulfilment of the contract.

§5 To whom is your personal data transferred?

We transmit your data to processors, who are involved in the processing and with whom we have concluded corresponding data protection agreements. In addition, we transmit your data to third parties if the circumstances (e.g. a request) make it necessary for the transfer of your data to a clerk of a company in the Vibracoustic Business Group in a member state of the European Union or in a third country (see below) to provide technical responses.

§6 Is the personal data transferred to a third country?

In addition, we transfer your personal data to the third country always in compliance with the Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, by concluding corresponding data protection agreements with the affiliated companies, with the inclusion of the GDPR standard contractual clauses, if necessary, or if an adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the destination country exists.

§7 Would you like to contact us (contact form and email contact)?

Our website has a contact form that can be used for online communication. If a user uses this form, the data entered in the input screen will be transmitted to us and saved. These details include required information about the first name, last name, company, country, email and inquiry.

When sending this form, your consent to the processing of the data is obtained and this data protection policy is referred to you. Alternatively, you can also contact us via the provided email address. In this case, the user’s personal data transferred by email will be saved.

Legal basis for the processing of the data in the presence of the user’s consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawful processing that has taken place until then remains unaffected by the revocation.

Regarding the revocation of this consent, we refer to your rights already described above.

In this context, there is no regular disclosure of the data to third parties. The data will be used exclusively to process the communication within the scope of your request. Data will be disclosed only to companies belonging to the Vibracoustic Group if it is necessary to respond to your request.

In addition, we transfer your personal data to affiliated companies in third countries always in compliance with the GDPR. When your personal data is transferred, Art. 44 to 49 GDPR and the corresponding data protection agreements are agreed, possibly with reference to the EU standard contract clauses, or there is an EU Commission adequacy decision for the target country exists.

If a processor is located in a third country, the personal data will be transmitted always in compliance with the provisions of Art. 44 to 49 GDPR. A related additional clause will be included in the relevant agreement on order processing.

We process the personal data from the input screen only to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also includes the required legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The other personal information processed when sending the contact form is intended to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The legal basis for the processing of data that is transferred by email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in answering your inquiry.

If the email contact aims to conclude a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for meeting the purpose of its collection. This is the case for the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and the data sent by email, once the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been finally clarified.

The additional personal data collected when sending the contact form will be deleted at the latest after the request has been answered.
