Who is responsible and how can I reach you?

Responsible

for the processing of personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

ALPHA LASER GmbH
Junkersstrasse 16
82178 Puchheim

Data protection officer

Stephan Krischke, datenschutz@alphalaser.de

What is it about?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.

Who gets my data?

We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

• you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR,
• the disclosure is permitted under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not having your data disclosed,
• in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR, and
• this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and to allow us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

In the context of the processing operations described in this Privacy Policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ: Schrems II ruling). In particular, US investigating authorities can oblige US companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to effectively take legal action against this. Thus, in principle, there is a possibility that your personal data will be processed by U.S. investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. In order to protect your data, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible.
• Object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation, or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
• Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR of your granted consent with effect for the future.
• Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.

In the context of contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. Furthermore, you can voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for processing the contact request.

Nature and scope of processing

We collect and process the personal data of applicants. Corresponding data processing may also take place electronically, for example, when applicants submit application documents to us by e-mail or via a web form located on our website. On our website, we offer you the option of sending us applications for advertised vacancies by e-mail.

Newsletter Subscription

Nature and scope of processing

Our website gives you the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you order the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We regularly inform our customers and business partners about our offers by means of a newsletter. You can only receive our company's newsletter if

• you have a valid e-mail address and
• you have registered to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you first entered for the newsletter using the double opt-in process. The purpose of this confirmation e-mail is to verify that you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have agreed to receive the newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer you are using at the time of registration, as assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes to technical conditions. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. You may revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data for the purpose of sending the newsletter at any time. You will find a link to revoke your consent in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website at any time or to inform us of this in any other way.

Purpose and legal basis

We process your data for the purpose of sending the newsletter on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. By unsubscribing from the newsletter, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to send the newsletter without providing your data.

Storage period

The data provided by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

Newsletter tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the company can see if and when you opened an e-mail and which links in the e-mail you called up.

Purpose and Legal Basis

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the relevant separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of our website.

HubSpot

Our newsletter is sent via “HubSpot”, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, United States, a newsletter distribution platform.

Your personal data is stored on HubSpot's servers. HubSpot uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, HubSpot can, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes, in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, HubSpot does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties.

Nature and scope of processing

As part of the SalesViewer, a javascript-based tracking code is used on the website of a company (hereinafter website operator), with the help of which the following information (hereinafter company data) is determined as part of the procedure described below:

• Name, origin and industry of the visiting company
• Source/referrer of the visiting company
• Keywords
• Visitor behavior (e.g. (sub)pages visited, time of visit, duration of visit)

Any information stored on the website visitor's end device that is not already transmitted when the website is called up is not accessed in a targeted manner, nor are cookies or similar files stored in the end device.

Insofar as company-related access can be identified within the framework of this procedure, the website operator is provided with corresponding company-related data of the website visit via a secure and encrypted login area of the provider, on which it is also possible to enter further generally accessible data (e.g. address and contact details) to research the visiting companies.

Purpose and Legal Basis
