Privacy Policy


General information

Below you will find information about how we handle your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy informs users about the type, scope, and purposes of collecting and using personal data. The operator of this website treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Data collection

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator identified in our legal notice. Your data is collected through information you provide to us, such as data you enter in a contact form.

Additional data collection (server log files) occurs automatically when you visit our website through our IT systems. This includes data such as date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, user's operating system, referrer URL (previously visited page), IP address, and requesting provider.

This data is not merged with other data sources. However, we reserve the right to review log data retroactively if there is justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete evidence.

Data usage

When you contact the website operator (for example, via contact form or email), your information is stored for processing your inquiry and in case follow-up questions arise.

Technical data is collected to ensure error-free website operation and to analyze user behavior for statistical purposes. This is primarily accomplished through cookies and analysis programs. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by declining consent. Further information about objection options is provided below.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., email communication) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

Your data rights

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the source, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. Additionally, you have the right to correction of inaccurate data, restriction, and deletion of your personal data, provided no legal retention requirements prevent this. For information requests or applications for correction, restriction, and/or deletion, please contact the responsible party specified below.

Data protection declaration for applicants

If personal data is sent to us by email or online in the course of an application, it will be stored and processed within SVS Schweißtechnik GmbH. This data is stored for the duration of the application process or until you request its deletion or correction, unless there is a legal obligation to keep it. In addition, it will only be passed on to third parties if you have expressly consented to them beforehand. The following data can be collected as part of the application process:

Personal data (first and last name, date of birth, address, graduation, etc.), communication data (telephone number, mobile phone number, fax number, email address), information (from third parties, e.g. credit agencies or from public directories), data about the assessment and evaluation in the application process, data on training (school, vocational training, civilian/military service, studies, doctorate, etc.), data on previous professional career, training and employment references, information on other qualifications (e.g. language skills, PC knowledge, voluntary work), application photos, salary requirements, application history.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific, device-related information on the user's access device (PC, smartphone or similar). On the one hand, they serve the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on website use and to be able to analyse them in order to improve the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option that restricts or completely prevents the storage of cookies. However, it is pointed out that the use and in particular the convenience of use can be restricted without cookies.


The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

The data you enter in our contact form will be saved by us for processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.


The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google finds out your IP address, even if there is no user account that you are logged in to. When a user account is logged in, Google can assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. This can be prevented by logging out beforehand. The provider of this page has no influence on this data transmission. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and to make it easier to find the places we have indicated on the website. You can find more information on the handling of user data in Google's data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Google Analytics

The website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (Google LLC 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are saved on the user's computer and that enable an analysis of their use of the website. The information generated by cookies about the use of this website by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.


If IP anonymization is activated on this website, the IP address of Google users will be shortened beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transferred to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there in exceptional cases. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.


The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent cookies from being saved by making the appropriate settings in their browser software; however, this offer warns the user that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by using the browser plug-in available under the following link download and install: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
