Privacy Policy

General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all information that relates to you and can be used to identify you. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose, and on what legal basis we process your data.

The party responsible for data processing on this website and within our company is:

MS Duroplast GmbH
Am Gewerbering 17
84069 Schierling
Germany

Phone: 09451 94380-0
Email: ha@msduroplast.de

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter data on websites, place online orders, or send emails over the internet, you must always be aware that unauthorized third parties may access your data. Complete protection against such access is not possible. However, we do everything in our power to protect your data as effectively as possible and to close security gaps wherever we can.

An important security mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize this encryption by the padlock icon next to the web address in your browser and by the fact that our web address begins with https:// rather than http://.

How long do we store your data?

In various sections of this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies processing data on our behalf store your information. If no specific duration is provided, we will store your data until the purpose for processing no longer applies, you object to the processing, or you withdraw your consent.

In the event of an objection or withdrawal of consent, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

• We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing to process your data that override your interests, rights, and freedoms (this applies only if you object to data processing; if your objection is directed at direct marketing, we cannot claim any such compelling grounds).
• The data processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (this does not apply if your objection is directed against direct marketing).
• We are legally obligated to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the condition(s) no longer apply.

Right to object to data processing

If you read in this privacy policy that we have legitimate interests for processing your data and therefore base it on Article 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, you have the right to object to this in accordance with Article 21 GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on the aforementioned provision. The requirement is that you provide reasons for the objection arising from your particular situation. No justification is required if the objection is directed against the use of your data for direct marketing.

The consequence of an objection is that we may no longer process your data. This does not apply if one of the following conditions is met:

• We can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
• The processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

These exceptions do not apply if your objection is directed against direct marketing or profiling related to such marketing.

Further rights

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You provide this, for example, by checking a box on online forms before sending them, or by allowing certain cookies when visiting our website. You may withdraw your consent at any time without providing a reason (Article 7(3) GDPR). From the moment of withdrawal, we may no longer process your data. The only exception is if we are legally required to retain the data for a specific period. Such retention periods exist particularly in tax and commercial law.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we have violated the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place where the alleged infringement occurred. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

Data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be provided to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format if you request it. We can only transfer the data to another controller to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Right to access, erasure, and rectification of data

In accordance with Article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge regarding which of your personal data we have stored, where the data originated, to whom we transmit the data, and the purpose for which it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Article 17 GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.

Right to restriction of processing

In certain situations, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. In such cases, the data may only be processed—apart from being stored—as follows:

• with your consent
• for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims
• for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person
• for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State

The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:

• You have contested the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, and we need time to verify this. This right exists for the duration of the verification process.
• The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. This right exists as an alternative to the deletion of data.
• We no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims. This right exists as an alternative to the deletion of data.
• You have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and your interests and ours must now be weighed against each other. This right exists as long as the outcome of the balancing process has not yet been determined.

External Hosting

Our website is hosted on a server provided by the following internet service provider (host):

Webflow, Inc.
398 11th Street
2nd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94103, USA

Has a data processing agreement been concluded with the host, or are standard contractual clauses (SCCs) used?

Yes

How do we process your data?

The host stores all data from our website. This also includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through your input. This may include, in particular: your IP address, pages visited, names, contact details and inquiries, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our host follows our instructions and only processes the data to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations to us.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

Since we use our website to reach potential customers and maintain contact with existing ones, data processing by our host serves the purpose of initiating and fulfilling contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional website that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed, and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cookies and cookie banners

This website is intentionally designed to function without cookies. We do not store cookies on your device, nor do we retrieve any information already stored there. This also applies to similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, or fingerprinting.

We also do not use cookies for reach measurement: The tool we use, Pirsch, operates entirely without cookies—more on that below. We do not integrate advertising or tracking services from third-party providers, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, or similar advertising networks. Fonts, scripts, and images are delivered from our own web server and are not loaded from external servers.

This is why you will not find a cookie banner on this website. Under Section 25 of the TDDDG (Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act), consent is only required if information is stored on or retrieved from your device that is not strictly necessary for the operation of the website. We do not do this. Therefore, there is nothing for which we need to obtain your consent, and nothing you need to click away or configure. You can use the website without having to make any prior decisions.

Should we use services in the future that employ cookies or similar technologies, we will obtain your consent beforehand and update this privacy policy accordingly.

Server log files

Server log files record all requests and access to our website and capture error messages. They also include personal data, specifically your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, meaning we cannot link the data to you personally. The data is transmitted automatically from your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores server log files to track activity on our website and identify errors. The files contain the following data:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address (anonymized where applicable)

We do not merge this data with other data sources; it is used solely for statistical analysis and to improve our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring our website functions without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of traffic to our website. Data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Contact form

You can send us a message using the contact form on this website.

How do we process your data?

We store your message and the information provided in the form in order to process your request and any follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We will not share this data with third parties without your consent.

How long do we store your data?

We will delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:

• Your request has been fully processed.
• You request that we delete your data.
• You withdraw your consent to storage.

This does not apply if we are legally required to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If your request relates to our contractual relationship or is for the purpose of taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process requests directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. In this case, you may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

Requests via email, phone, or fax

You can send us a message via email or fax, or give us a call.

How do we process your data?

We store your message and the contact details you provide, including your phone number, in order to process your request and any follow-up questions. We will not share this data with third parties without your consent.

How long do we store your data?

We will delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:

• Your request has been fully processed.
• You request that we delete your data.
• You withdraw your consent to storage.

This does not apply if we are legally required to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If your inquiry is related to our contractual relationship or serves to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process inquiries directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

Pirsch

What is Pirsch?

Who processes your data?

Emvi Software GmbH, Nickelstraße 1b, 33378 Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Germany

Has a data processing agreement been concluded with Pirsch?

Where can you find more information about data protection at Pirsch?

https://pirsch.io/privacy

How do we process your data?

We are always interested in optimizing our website for our visitors. Pirsch, a tool that analyzes user behavior and provides us with the necessary data for adjustments, helps us with this. Through this tool, we receive information about the origin of our visitors, their page views, the time they spend on our pages, and the operating system they use. Pirsch does not store any cookies on your device.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our web offerings. Data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented to data processing by Pirsch, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

How do we process your data?

When we enter into a contract with you, we require certain personal data. We collect, process, and use this data only to the extent necessary to establish, define the content of, or amend our legal relationship. If you use our services exclusively via our website or if services are billed through the website, we also collect usage data, provided this is necessary to enable you to use our services or to bill for the services provided.

How long do we store your data?

We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are legally obligated to retain the data for a longer period.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We store your data to fulfill our contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. The basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

If you would like to work for us, we look forward to receiving your application. We treat all personal data submitted with strict confidentiality. This also applies to data that we collect later during the application process.

How do we process your data?

We store and use all data collected during the application process to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. In addition to contact and communication details and application documents, this also includes, for example, notes we make during job interviews. Within our company, we only share your data with individuals involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, we will store the data required for the performance of the employment relationship in our data processing systems.

If we cannot currently offer you a suitable position, we would be happy to include your data in our applicant pool with your consent. This allows us to contact you should a position become available that matches your profile.

How long do we store your data?

If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain your documents and other application data for up to 6 months after the conclusion of the application process. The reason for this is that we may need the data for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. After this period, we delete the data and destroy the documents. If a legal dispute is imminent or already pending, we will delete the data and documents once they are no longer required for evidentiary purposes.

We delete data in our applicant pool no later than 2 years after consent is granted. If you withdraw your consent before this period expires, we will delete it sooner.

The deletion of your data is always subject to the condition that we are not legally required to retain it for a longer period.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We process your applicant data on the basis of Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general initiation of a contract).

The same applies if your application is successful.

If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we have a legitimate interest in retaining your data for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. Data processing is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If you have explicitly consented to the storage of your data, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.
