As the operator of the website https://amk-motion.com, AMKmotion GmbH + Co KG, Gaußstraße 37-39, 73230 Kirchheim unter Teck is the Data Controller according to GDPR.

You can contact our Data Protection Officer at any time with all your data privacy concerns at datenschutzbeauftragter@amk-motion.com.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

The scope and nature of the collection, processing and use of your data differs depending on whether you visit our website merely to retrieve generally available information or to make use of additional services. In principle, we process your personal data within the scope of our entrepreneurial activity for pre-contractual or contractual purposes. In addition, the exercise of our legitimate interest, your consent, or compliance with legal requirements may also be the substantive purpose of data processing undertaken by us. In the following sections we provide you with details of the respective concrete purposes of data processing.

We process your personal data in accordance with the following legal bases:

• for the fulfilment of pre-contractual or contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR)
• based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR)
• in the context of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR)
• due to legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR)

We inform you of the specific legal basis of the data processing in connection with our respective processing operations.

If we process your personal data in the context of a balancing of interests based on our overriding legitimate interest (the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR), you have the right to object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the data concerned. However, we reserve the right to process the data further (with the exception of direct advertising; in this case we will comply with your objection immediately) if we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Further rights of data subjects remain unaffected by this.

In order to use our website for the sole purpose of obtaining information, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data. When you access our web pages in this case, we only collect the data that your internet browser automatically transmits to us, such as:

• referrer (previously visited website)
• requested web page or file
• browser type and version
• operating system used
• device type used
• date and time of access
• IP address in anonymized form
• other similar data and information which serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

This is usually done through the use of log files. The purpose of the processing is to ensure the functionality and compatibility of our website for technically straightforward use, including troubleshooting, as well as ensuring protection against technical attacks and misuse. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the proper operation of our website. The log file data is erased when it is no longer necessary for the purpose of processing.

If you make use of further services provided by our company via our website, it may be necessary for you to provide personal data for this purpose. The personal data required for the provision of the service is specified in the respective input mask or application. You can enter additional details voluntarily. You can see which information is required and which is voluntary by the fact that the mandatory information is marked with an asterisk (*) or with the note “mandatory field”. Your data is processed solely for the purpose of providing the service you requested. The description of the specific services provides you with details of the legal basis for the processing of your personal data and information on when your personal data will be erased.

We use an external service provider to host our website. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. The use of the hoster is in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR). Our hoster only processes your data to the extent that this is necessary for the fulfilment of their performance obligations within the framework of contractual obligations and instructions issued by us. We use 23M GmbH, Johann-Krane-Weg 18, 48149 Münster as our hoster. We have concluded a processor contract with the hoster in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR.  Your personal data is erased when it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose of your contact. We would like to point out that your messages may have to be stored within the scope of legally existing storage obligations. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR.

We have taken technical and organizational measures to protect our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, alteration or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. In particular, your personal data provided in the contact form is transmitted in encrypted form. For this purpose we use the coding system TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security).

We use cookies or comparable technologies for various purposes, e.g. for the purpose of ensuring the functionality, security and convenience of online offerings and for creating analyses of visitor flows.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit our website. Comparable technologies are so-called web storage techniques (also called “local data” and “local memory”); here, data is stored locally in the memory of your browser (“cache”). In the following, we combine cookies and comparable technologies under the term “cookie” for reasons of easier comprehension.

We use cookies in accordance with the legal requirements. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, except where this is not required by law.

If users consent, the legal basis for the processing of their data is their declared consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. Revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and contains information on the respective cookie use. You will find more information about individual cookies or comparable technologies and their purpose in our privacy settings. (LINK auf Cookie-Consent-Tool EINFÜGEN).

In particular, consent is not necessary if the storage and output of the information, i.e. also of cookies, is absolutely necessary in order to provide users with a telemedia service (i.e. our online offering) that is expressly requested by them. In these cases, the legal basis for processing your data is the fulfilment of our contractual obligations according to Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR, compliance with legal obligations according to Art. 6 para. 1c) GDPR, or our legitimate interest (e.g. a commercially operational and secure use of our website and the improvement of its usability) according to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. You will find more information about individual cookies and their purpose in our privacy settings.

You can delete the cookies at any time if you wish. This may mean that individual functions are no longer available to you, however. To delete cookies, please refer to the help function of your browser or change your settings in the privacy settings.

The data collected in this way is stored until you effectively object to this storage, request that we erase it, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. See below for details of the social networks we use.

Social networks such as Facebook etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media sites triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data privacy.

Specifically: if you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we are not able to track all processing on social media portals. Further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals, depending on the provider concerned. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data privacy provisions of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis
Our social media presences seek to ensure an informative presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. In necessary cases, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. The analysis processes specifically initiated by the social networks may be based on further legal grounds to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR).

Responsible party and assertion of rights
When you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) against both ourselves and the operator of the respective social media portal.
Please note that despite this joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations carried out by the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence is erased from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to erase it or you withdraw your consent to it being stored. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please find out from the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. by consulting their privacy policy, see below).
