This Privacy Policy is valid from 24th of May 2018. Protecting SEEBURGER Cloud users’ personal data is very important to SEEBURGER AG (“SEEBURGER”). This Privacy Policy governs the collection, processing and use of personal data related to your registration and use of the SEEBURGER Cloud and the use of the affiliated SEEBURGER Webshop.
SEEBURGER AG (Email support@cloud.seeburger.de Phone +49 7252/96-0, Edisonstrasse 1, 75015 Bretten, Germany) is the responsible body under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the service provider under the German Telemedia Act (TMG).
We only collect and use personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as to provide our contents and services. The collection and use of our user’s personal data is regularly only carried out with the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Legal basis for the storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 cont. of the EU-GDPR.
The personal data we collect, process and use in connection with your registration for and use of the SEEBURGER Cloud, and in connection with your use of the affiliated Webshop, includes data that you have provided to SEEBURGER on one of the following occasions:
You enter the personal data you submit for the above reasons yourself in the forms we provide for such purposes. The data submitted to us in these transactions is data we require to interact with you. This includes, for example, your full name, company, position/role, business address, e-mail address, business phone number and perhaps other information we need in order to process and execute your enquiry or order.
We shall only use the data collected about you for the following purposes:
Where we engage a third party (as a service provider of SEEBURGER AG) as part of the collection, processing and use of your data, we shall only disclose such data as is necessary for the third party to provide the services we have commissioned. In such cases, the respective service provider shall undertake in writing to use your data only on our behalf and for the purpose agreed between you and us. Furthermore, the respective service provider shall undertake to maintain the confidentiality of such data. The service provider shall not be entitled to disclose or use the data for any purpose other than the purpose we have commissioned.
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored due to applicable European or national regulations, laws or other provisions. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract. SEEBURGER AG is an internationally active company with international technical business processes. In conformity with this Privacy Policy, your personal data may be transmitted to other SEEBURGER AG locations or to companies in other countries affiliated with SEEBURGER AG under Article 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), provided this is required as a result of internal responsibilities at SEEBURGER in order to process and use your data for the agreed purpose. The same high standards of data protection apply within all individual SEEBURGER AG locations. However, your data shall only be transferred to SEEBURGER locations outside the economic area of the European Union with your explicit prior consent.
SEEBURGER AG uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology for the electronic transmission of personal data.
You may revoke your consent for the collection, processing and use of your personal data at any time, effective for the future. You can submit your revocation declaration to support@cloud.seeburger.de.
