  • 3. Newsletter

    By giving your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter in which we will inform you about our current interesting offers. The promoted goods and services are set forth in the declaration of consent.

    We use the so-called double-opt-in process for the subscription to our newsletter. This means, following your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the indicated 
    e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. Moreover, we will store your IP addresses respectively used and the points of time of registration and confirmation. It is the purpose of the process to be able to prove your subscription and to clear up a possible abuse of your personal data, if applicable. 

    The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Following your confirmation, we will store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 Subsec. 1 Sent. 1 (a) GDPR.

    You can withdraw your consent to the sending of the newsletter and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can declare withdrawal with a click on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail or by sending a message to the contact data given in the imprint. Following the unsubscription/withdrawal, your data will be erased without delay, unless this is in conflict with legal obligations of preservation.

    In part we use contact forms connected with the automation software of mailingwork. In this connection, there has been defined a target group that will receive an e-mail with useful information on the desired product 10 days after completing the form. Beyond that, no further e-mail will be sent without subscription to a newsletter. When you enter data for the purpose of newsletter receipt (e.g. e-mail address), they are stored on the servers of mailingwork in Germany.

    In some cases, we use the marketing automation system Microsoft Dynamics 365 of the provider Microsoft Corp. for the implementation of marketing campaigns, for e-mail campaigns, for analysis purposes, and for the target-group-specific addressing of customers and potential customers. One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. Microsoft Dynamics Marketing enables us to carry out a pseudonymized evaluation of user behavior from the analyzed e-mail communication, such as whether and when newsletters were opened and which links were clicked. This enables us to find out how we can optimize our marketing activities in an interest-oriented and targeted manner. This data is not assigned to individual persons. The use of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing for the aforementioned purposes only takes place if you expressly consent to the use of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing within the framework of cookie management via CMP, Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO. The data stored in the cookie is transferred to a server of a Microsoft Azure Data Center and stored there; according to our understanding of Microsoft's security policy (https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/trust-center/privacy/datalocation), the server is located in the EU. Therefore, we assume that no data transfer to the USA takes place. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider Microsoft regarding the data transferred for the use of the tool in accordance with the DSGVO. Users can find further information on the use of cookies in connection with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing at https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dynamics365/customer-engagement/marketing/cookies. General information on data protection at Microsoft can be found in the privacy policy at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

    Via the contact forms, we also offer you a sample ordering service within the scope of our web presence. Here you can order samples of our products. Of course your data will be treated confidentially and only serve the sample ordering process. Following the sample order, we will take the liberty of sending you a follow-up mail. If you do not wish that, please be free to tell us, either directly on the sample ordering form or in the e-mail conversation.

  • 4. Applications / application procedure

    We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing can also be done by electronic means.

If a contract of employment is concluded between the applicant and a company of the Felix Schoeller Group, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of performing the employment relationship, having regard to the legal regulations. If no contract of employment is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically erased two months after the notification of rejection, unless erasure is in conflict with other legitimate interests on our part. Other legitimate interest within this meaning may be for example a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).

    For applications, we make the portal solution Bite available on our homepage. The provider is Bite GmbH, Resi-Weglein-Gasse 9, 89077 Ulm.

    a) Statistic services

    • GoogleAnalytics / GoogleTagManager / Hotjar

    This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and allow that your use of the website can be analysed. The information generated by the cookie on your use of this website usually is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. In case of activation of the IP anonymization on this website, however, Google will shorten your IP address before within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and is shortened there. By order of the operator of this website, Google will use that information for analysing your use of the website, for compiling reports on the website activities and for performing further services related to the use of the website and of the internet for the website operator.

    The IP address transmitted by your browser is not combined with other data of Google.

    You can prevent the storage of said cookies by a respective setting of your browser software; but we wish to make you aware that, in such case, it may occur that not all functions of this website can be fully used by you. Moreover, you can prevent the capture of the data (incl. your IP address) generated by the cookie in relation to your use of the website by Google and the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that is available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/
    gaoptout?hl=de
    .

    Furthermore, you can prevent the capture and passing-on of the personal data to Google (in particular your IP address) as well as the processing of such data by Google by disabling the execution of script code in your browser, by installing a script blocker in your browser (you can find it e.g. under www.noscript.net or www.ghostery.com), or by activating the "Do Not Track" setting of your browser.

    This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". Therefore, IP addresses are further processed in a shortened form, so that a possibility of relating them to a person can be excluded. As far as the data collected about you involve a relation to a person, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data are immediately deleted.

    We use Google Analytics for being able to analyse and continuously improve the use of our website. By means of the obtained statistics, we can improve our offer and shape it to be more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases where personal data are transmitted to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. Sessions and campaigns are terminated upon expiry of e certain period of time. As a standard, sessions are terminated after 30 minutes without activity and campaigns are terminated after six months. The time limit for campaigns can be maximally 3 years.

    Within the scope of the analysis, we also use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution with the help of which the marketer can administer website tags via a graphical interface. The tool itself (implementing the tags) is a cookieless domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool causes the triggering of other tags which, on their part, possibly may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. When a deactivation was made at a domain or cookie level, it continues to apply to all tracking tags implemented by Google Tag Manager.
