We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of SMI Handling Systeme GmbH. Below we inform you about the details of data protection when visiting our website. As a rule, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data is collected when visiting our websites, we process this data exclusively in accordance with the German Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The processing of personal data takes place exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy. This data protection declaration applies to the use of the website at the address https://www.smi-handling.de/.

Complete protection of personal data is not possible when using the Internet.

1. Definitions


The data protection declaration of SMI Handling Systeme GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European guidelines and ordinances when the basic data protection regulation (DS-GVO) was issued. Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, on-line identification, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

data subject
Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations, performed with or without the aid of automated means, which is performed upon personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

profiling
Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the performance of work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, location or change of location of that natural person.

Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the need for additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or controller
Controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or national law, provision may be made for the controller or for the specific criteria for his or her designation in accordance with Union or national law.

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

The recipient is any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not that person is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or national law shall not be considered as recipients.

Third party
Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

Consent
Consent shall mean any freely given and informed unequivocal expression of the data subject's wishes in the specific case, in the form of a statement or any other unequivocal affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her consent to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. collection of general data and information


Our website is operated on servers of 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57 in 56410 Montabaur (hoster). When our websites are accessed, data is automatically collected and stored in log files on our hoster's server. This data may have a personal reference. Among the data collected are:
(1) browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system, Page 4 from 12
(3) the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
(8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
The hoster uses the collected data to ensure the trouble-free operation of the website as well as to ensure IT security and to improve our offer. If there are concrete indications, the log data may be analysed subsequently. The temporary storage of the IP address by the hoster is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for the data collection is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest in the data collection results from the aforementioned purposes. The data is deleted by the hoster as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the event that the data is stored in log files, the data will be deleted after 8 weeks. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for you to object.

4. cookiesWe do


not use our own cookies to provide our website.

5. SSL or TLS encryption


For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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 (end-to-end encryption). The protocols authenticate the communication partner and ensure the integrity of the transported data.
