    • 1. The purpose of processing personal data and the legal basis for the processing in the context of the conclusion and performance of contracts

      Prior to the conclusion of the contract, contact may be made by telephone, fax, email or via the website of SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. The purpose of processing prior to entering into a contract is to take steps at the request of the partner or supplier prior to entering into a contract (including the submission of an offer) pursuant to Article 6(2)(b) of the GDPR.

      After the conclusion of a contract, the purpose of processing related to the contract is the performance of the contract or compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, the legal basis being performance of the contract or compliance with a legal obligation pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) and (c) of the GDPR.

      SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. processes the data provided during the order for the purpose of performing the contract and, where applicable, engages specialised and supervised service providers for this purpose. Processing of data during the performance of a contract includes the use of data for the performance of services under the contract, including the performance of servicing activities under service contracts or the processing of any warranty claims. In addition, SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. may use the data necessary for the preparation of the offer in the context of funding requests and, if necessary, transmit them to the contracting partners. Further details on the purposes are set out in the relevant contractual document. These processing operations are based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR.

      The legal basis for processing related to a contract, in relation to the representative and contact person signing the contract on behalf of the legal person as a partner and participating in the performance, is the legitimate interest of SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. and the legal person as a partner pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

      SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. processes the data of third parties necessary for the performance of the contract on the legal basis of legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

      It is in the legitimate interest of SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. and the legal entity as partner that the contract is performed smoothly, and for this purpose it is necessary to ensure regular contact and the possibility of making enquiries, both with regard to the representative and contact person of the legal entity as partner and with regard to third parties necessary for the performance of the contract. SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. has carried out the “balancing of interests test” with regard to the processing of data necessary for the exercise of its legitimate interests.

      SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. processes the data relating to the product that is the subject of the contract and the data that is necessary to take further steps to enforce the claim (initiate enforcement) in the event of possible non-performance of the contract, on the legal basis that it is necessary to enforce the legitimate interests of the Controller. SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. has carried out the “balancing of interests test” with regard to the processing of data necessary for the exercise of its legitimate interests.

      SEW-EURODRIVE will store the data collected for the purpose of performing a contract in its operating system for as long as the warranty claims or other purposes stated in this statement are valid. All data will be deleted directly, unless further purposes for the use of the data have been specified in this statement.

        We use both temporary cookies that are automatically deleted once you close your browser (“Session Cookies”), and persistent (permanent) cookies.

        You can choose whether to accept cookies. You can change this in your browser settings. In principle, you have the right to choose to accept all cookies, to be informed before cookies are set, or to choose to reject all cookies. If you choose the last option, it is possible that you will not be able to use our offering to the full extent.

        When using cookies, a distinction should be made between essential cookies and supplementary cookies (for measuring access numbers and for advertising purposes).
      • b) Essential cookies when using the website

        Our website uses temporary cookies, which are essential for the website to function properly. These include cookies that enable us to recognise you if you visit the site multiple times during a single session. These session cookies contribute to safe use of our offering by, for instance, enabling you to use the online support functions.
      • c) Use of cookies with your consent

        You will find an overview of the cookies we use when you give your consent at the beginning of your session on our website below. During use, you will also find an opt-out option next to each notice. These are cookies for recording user behaviour on our website and cookies that are used for advertising purposes.
        • (1) Cookies used to track user behaviour (Tracking):

          The use of tracking cookies enables us to analyse the use of our website and thereby improve it. To do this, we can either collect anonymous usage statistics or use functions to recognize users when they visit our website again, and thus assign usage processes to an internally assigned ID number (pseudonym). In this way, we can record visits to our website and analyse them in context.

          Specifically, the following tracking cooki and cookies are used:
          • Compilation of usage statistics using eTracker

            Services from eTracker GmbH (Erste Brunnenstraße 1. 20459 Hamburg, Germany; imprint: www.etracker.com/impressum; henceforth: eTracker) are used on this website to analyse utilisation data.

The eTracker cookies do not include any information that would make it possible to identify users.

            The data thus generated is processed and stored by etracker on our behalf exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards. In this respect, etracker has been independently checked, certified, and awarded the privacy seal ePrivacyseal.

            The data is processed on the basis of the legal provisions of Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The user can give consent by clicking on a pop-up window when entering the site. Our objective is to analyse the use of our website and to optimise our online offering and our website in order to make them more interesting for you as a user by means of the statistics obtained, in which we also have a legitimate interest.

            Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, any data that may allow us to refer to an individual, such as an IP address, login details or a device identifier, will be anonymised or pseudonymised as quickly as possible. There is no otherutilisation, combination with other data of etracker or dissemination to third parties.

            You can object to the above data processing at any time, as far as it is related to personal data:

            In addition, we also use eTracker to analyse and regularly improve the use of our Online Support Portal. Through the statistics we receive, we can improve and make our offering more interesting to you as a user. We do not process your name and IP address for these analyses.

            If you are not logged in as a customer, we are not able to identify you using the data and information listed below. A cookie is placed on your device (browser) and a random session ID is assigned to it. The following information is processed in this cookie:

            • Screen size
            • Screen resolution
            • Type of device
            • Operating system and version

            • Geo data (continent, country, region, city)
            • Timestamp (date, time of login)
            • “Click data” (individual applications accessed)
            • Search queries
            • “Abandoned shopping carts” (product placed in the shopping cart but not ordered)
            • Bandwidth and internet provider

            We do this to analyse whether users who are not logged in as customers are using our online support offer and, if so, how.

            If you are logged in on our Online Support interface as a customer, we will analyse the following data in addition to the data mentioned above in order to optimise the online support platform and improve the customer experience when using our platform. This analysis is carried out only internally at SEW-EURODRIVE Kft. and without processing your name or your IP address:

            • registration date
            • company name, legal entity, account number
            • company type

However, the data will be stored and processed for a maximum of 5 years.

            The legal basis for recording and creating the analyses is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

        • (2) Use of cookies for advertising purposes

          We use cookies for marketing purposes to tailor advertising to the interests of visitors to our website. In addition, we use them to limit the frequency of advertisements and measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This allows us to collect information about which websites and articles were clicked on. In this way, we can collect information on usage patterns in order to balance interest-based advertising. This information can be shared with third parties through the advertising networks used. In these cases, the cookies are regularly set directly by the advertising partner.

          The following cookies are specifically set for advertising purposes:
          • (a) Use of Google Remarketing

            We use Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers through advertising material on external websites (Google Ads). These advertising materials are delivered by Google through ad servers. This is done using ad server cookies, which allow the evaluation of performance parameters such as ad impressions, clicks and conversions. In this way, we can determine how successful each advertising measure is compared to the data of the advertising campaigns. If you access our website via a Google advertisement, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not designed to identify you personally. The following analysis values are usually stored with this cookie:

            • Unique cookie ID
            • Number of ad impressions per placement (frequency)
            • Last impression (relevant for post-view conversions)
            • Opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wants to be addressed)

            These cookies allow Google to recognise your web browser. If a user visits specific pages of a website operated by an AdWords customer and the cookie stored on their device has not yet expired, Google and the customer will be able to see that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to that page. Every AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the course of the above-mentioned advertising measures. Google only provides us with statistical analyses. Based on these analyses, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any other data about the use of advertising materials, and in particular we cannot identify any users based on this information. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1) lit. a GDPR (consent of the data subject). Users can give their consent by clicking on the pop-up window when entering the site.

            Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. Please note that processing by Google may also take place outside the European Union. Beyond that, we have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool. We therefore inform you based on our current knowledge that:

            By using “tracking tools”, Google is informed that you have accessed our website’s corresponding page or you have clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a chance that the provider will find out and store your IP address. Through the company’s remarketing technology, users who have already visited our website and online services and are interested in our offers are re-targeted with advertising on Google Partner Network pages. More information on Google’s privacy policy can be found here:

            http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/
            and
            https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html

            We also use the Google Remarketing application. This is about targeting in order to deliver interest-based advertising services. This application allows us to display our ads to you when you visit other websites after you have visited our website. This is done using cookies stored on your browser, which Google uses to record and evaluate your usage behaviour when you visit different websites. In this way, Google can determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not combine the data collected in the course of targeting with your personal data that Google may store. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymisation is used for targeting.

            If you do not want advertisements tailored to your interests to be displayed, you can deactivate cookies in your browser or notify Google of this with future effect using the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. Alternatively, you can object to Google’s targeting through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website:
            http://optout.networkadvertising.org.
          • (b) Use of Marketo

            Our website uses Marketo Inc. (“Marketo”) services. This involves the use of cookies that are stored on your device and that enable the analysis of your use of the website.

            For this purpose, a profile is created under a pseudonym and your IP address is immediately anonymised. Analysis of website usage is used to display usage-related content and interest-based advertising.

            The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is transmitted to a Marketo server within the EU and stored there on our behalf. In some cases, data may also be transmitted to servers in the USA and stored there for advertising purposes.

    • 15. Involvement of external service providers
      • a) Embedding of YouTube videos on our website

        On individual websites, we have embedded YouTube videos that are stored on http://www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. These videos are embedded in “extended data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user will be transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. The data below is only transmitted when you play the videos. We have no influence on data transmission.

        By playing the embedded videos, YouTube is informed that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website, and additional data may be transmitted to YouTube of which we are not aware. This happens regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account that you are logged into or you do not have a user account. If you are logged in to YouTube, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want it to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as a user profile and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-based design of its website. Such an evaluation may take place especially for providing on-demand advertisements (even to non-logged-in users) and to inform other YouTube users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles, although you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

        Please see the YouTube privacy statement for further information on the purpose and extent of data collection and processing. This is also where you will find further information about your rights and settings options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

The processing may vary depending on whether you are registered and logged into the social network in question or only visiting the site as a non-registered and/or non-logged-in user.

        When you access a post or account, the IP address assigned to your terminal equipment is forwarded to the social media platform provider. If you are currently logged in as a user, the cookie on your terminal equipment can be used to track your movements on the network. To avoid this, log out, delete the cookies on your device and restart your browser.

        In addition to this, we, as the provider of the information service, only collect and process the data from your use of our service that you provide to us and that is necessary for an interaction.

The legal basis for the processing of data on social media platforms is Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR.

        To exercise your rights as a Data Subject, you can contact either us or the social media platform provider.
