We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise.\n Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management \nof the westphal GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the westphal GmbH\n is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data\n subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, \nprocessing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of\n personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such \nprocessing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail \naddress, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line \nwith the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance \nwith the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the \nwestphal GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our \nenterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope,\n and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. \nFurthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data \nprotection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the controller, the westphal GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data protection declaration of the westphal GmbH is based on the \nterms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General \nData Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration \nshould be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as \nour customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to \nfirst explain the terminology used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation\n (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the \nEuropean Union and other provisions related to data protection is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Internet pages of the westphal GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text\n files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a \nso-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. \nIt consists of a character string through which Internet pages and \nservers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the \ncookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to \ndifferentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other \nInternet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet \nbrowser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the use of cookies, the westphal GmbH can provide the users \nof this website with more user-friendly services that would not be \npossible without the cookie setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can \nbe optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously \nmentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this \nrecognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The \nwebsite user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data \neach time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the \nwebsite, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. \nAnother example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The \nonline store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the \nvirtual shopping cart via a cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies \nthrough our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet \nbrowser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. \nFurthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an \nInternet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all \npopular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting \nof cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our \nwebsite may be entirely usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The website of the westphal GmbH collects a series of general data \nand information when a data subject or automated system calls up the \nwebsite. This general data and information are stored in the server log \nfiles. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the\n operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from \nwhich an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4)\n the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site,\n (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service\n provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and \ninformation that may be used in the event of attacks on our information \ntechnology systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using these general data and information, the westphal GmbH does\n not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this \ninformation is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website \ncorrectly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its \nadvertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information \ntechnology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law \nenforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal \nprosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the westphal GmbH \nanalyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with \nthe aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our \nenterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the \npersonal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are\n stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of \nthe controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data\n are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input\n mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data \nsubject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the \ncontroller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request \ntransfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also \nuses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the \ncontroller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP \naddress\u2014assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the \ndata subject\u2014date, and time of the registration are also stored. The \nstorage of this data takes place against the background that this is the\n only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to \nmake it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage\n of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not \npassed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to \npass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal \nprosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication \nof personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data\n subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered \nusers due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons \nare free to change the personal data specified during the registration \nat any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of \nthe controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon \nrequest to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about \nthe data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or \nerase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, \ninsofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of \nthe controller\u2019s employees are available to the data subject in this \nrespect as contact persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The website of the westphal GmbH contains information that enables a \nquick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct \ncommunication with us, which also includes a general address of the \nso-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts \nthe controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data \ntransmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal \ndata transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data \ncontroller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the \ndata subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third \nparties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online services in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (\u201cGoogle\u201d). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about use of the online services by the users is generally sent to one of Google\u2019s servers in the USA and stored there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus guarantees to comply with European data protection law (https:\/\/www.privacyshield.gov\/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google shall use this information on our behalf to evaluate use of our online services by the users, to compile reports about activities within these online services and to provide us with other services associated with use of these online services and internet use. This might involve creating pseudonymous usage profiles of users from the processed data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We only use Google Analytics with active IP anonymisation. This means that the IP addresses of the users are shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be sent to one of Google\u2019s servers in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The IP address sent by the user\u2019s browser is not merged with other data by Google. Users can suppress the cookies using the relevant setting in their browser software; users can also stop the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online services for Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information about Google\u2019s use of data, setting and objection options can be found on Google\u2019s webpages: https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/partners<\/a> (\u201cUse of data by Google when you use websites or apps of our partners\u201d), http:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/technologies\/ads<\/a> (\u201cUse of data for advertising purposes\u201d), http:\/\/www.google.de\/settings\/ads<\/a> (\u201cManaging information that Google uses to show you advertising\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the \ndata subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of \nstorage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or \nother legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is \nsubject to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period \nprescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator \nexpires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance\n with legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing \noperations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing \npurpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the \nperformance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the \ncase, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the \nsupply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based\n on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing \noperations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual \nmeasures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products \nor services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which \nprocessing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of \ntax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In \nrare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect \nthe vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. \nThis would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our \ncompany and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital \ninformation would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other \nthird party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d \nGDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit.\n f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are \nnot covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is\n necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our \ncompany or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden \nby the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject \nwhich require protection of personal data. Such processing operations \nare particularly permissible because they have been specifically \nmentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate \ninterest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the \ncontroller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f\n GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of \nthe well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data\n is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that \nperiod, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no\n longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation \nof a contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by \nlaw (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual \nprovisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it \nmay be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides \nus with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The \ndata subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data \nwhen our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of \nthe personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the \ndata subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided \nby the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The \nemployee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the \npersonal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the \nconclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide \nthe personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal \ndata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This Privacy Policy has been generated by the Privacy Policy Generator of the DGD – Your External DPO<\/a> that was developed in cooperation with German Lawyers<\/a> from WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE, Cologne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise.
