The information will only be disclosed if this is required by law.

Data transmission to third parties

In principle, we will only use your above-mentioned personal data within our company.

If and as far as we use third parties in the fulfilment of contracts (such as logistics companies), we will only transfer personal data to these companies to the extent that is required for the relevant service.

If we outsource certain parts of the data processing (“order processing”), all of our order processing companies are contractually obliged to only use personal data in compliance with the data protection laws and protect the rights of the person concerned. The order processing companies only use the data in accordance with our instructions, and are prohibited from using this data for their own commercial purposes that are not in accordance with the agreed purposes.

Newsletter

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we require your e-mail address and confirmation that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address, and that you agree to receive the newsletter. This information is only collected for the purpose of sending you the newsletter and documenting our authorization in this respect. You can cancel the newsletter and your consent to receive it at any time. Simply send an e-mail to info@schneider-holz.com, or you can unsubscribe using the unsubscribe link in the newsletter itself.

Our e-mail newsletter is dispatched via technical service provider rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., to whom we pass on the data that you provide during registration (title, first name, surname and e-mail address).

This transfer takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, and is carried out in accordance with our legitimate interest in the use of a promotional, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. The data which you enter in order to receive the newsletter (e-mail address, for example) will be stored on the rapidmail servers in Germany.

rapidmail uses this information for the dispatch and statistical evaluation of the newsletter on our behalf. In order to carry out the evaluation, the emails which are sent include so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files stored on our web site. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened, and which links may have been clicked on. With the aid of so-called conversion tracking, it is also possible to analyse whether a predefined action has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This data is collected exclusively pseudonymized and are not linked to your other personal data, which precludes the possibility of direct personalized tracking. This data is exclusively used for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better customize future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you object to the analysis of data for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

A data processing agreement has been drawn up between ourselves and rapidmail in which rapidmail is obliged to protect the data of our customers and not pass it on to third parties.

Google Maps

Google Maps (API) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) is used on our web site. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps for visually displaying geographic information. The use of this service will show you our location and make us easier to find.

When you visit any of the subpages in which a Google Maps map is incorporated, information about your use of our web site (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the United States and stored there. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or if no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want assignment to your profile to take place at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. According to Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, such an evaluation is based on the legitimate interests of Google for displaying personalized advertising, market research and / or the requirement-oriented design of its web site. You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google directly to exercise this right.

US-based Google LLC is certified under the US/European “Privacy Shield”, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection in the EU.

If you disagree with the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, you can also disable the Google Maps web service completely by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and therefore also the map displayed on this web site can then not be used.

Google’s Terms of Use can be viewed at http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/regional.html, and the additional Google Maps Terms of Service can be found at https://developers.google.com/maps/terms

Changes and additions to this privacy policy are possible, and you can identify the respective version on the basis of the date and version shown at the end of this privacy policy. All previous versions of this privacy policy have been archived and are available for viewing upon request.

Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data depends on the respective legal retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods). Upon expiry of the deadline the relevant data is deleted automatically, provided that it is no longer required to fulfil the contract or to initiate a contract and/or if there is no legitimate interest from our side in the continued storage of the data.
