Personal information is information about your identity. These include e.g. information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address. This information is always processed in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation requirements and other data protection regulations applicable to our company.

For use of our website, it is generally not necessary for you to disclose personal data. In certain cases, however, the processing of personal data may be necessary, for example to provide you with particular services you may require.

The same applies for example to sending information material and ordered goods or answering individual questions. We will inform you accordingly when necessary.

If there is no legal basis for the processing of this personal data, we will obtain your consent.

In addition, we only store and process data that you voluntarily provide to us and, if necessary, data that we collect automatically when you visit our internet pages (e.g. your IP address and the name of the pages you have accessed, the browser you use and your operating system, date and time of access, search engines used, names of downloaded files).

If you make use of our services, generally only such data will be collected for the purpose of providing the services. If we ask you for more detailed data, the information in question is voluntary. The processing of personal data takes place exclusively for the fulfilment of the requested service and, if necessary, for the protection of one's legitimate business interests.

The following categories of personal data may be collected when you visit our website or through other processing described in this privacy policy:

• Master data (names, addresses, etc.)

• Other personal data provided by you (personal interests, etc.)

• Contract data (customer number, contract number, etc.)

• Content data (texts, photos, videos, etc.)

• Contact details (e-mail, phone numbers, etc.)

• Meta data (IP addresses, device information, etc.)

• Usage data (visited content, access times, etc.)

• Concerned persons are thereby users/prospective customers of our offers.

We use the personal information you provide to respond to your requests, to process your orders, or to give you access to specific information or offers. Customer Relationship Management may also require that we or a service provider contracted by us use this personal information to inform you about product offerings or conduct online surveys to better serve our customers' needs and requirements. Legal basis for these types of processing. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b, f) GDPR.

Of course, we respect if you do not want to give us your personal data to support our customer relationship (especially for direct marketing or for market research purposes). We will not sell or otherwise market your personal information to third parties.

We will collect, process and use the personal data you provide online only for the purposes indicated. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties without your explicit consent.

The collection of personal data and the transmission of such data to state institutions and authorities that are entitled to receive such information shall only be carried out within the scope of the relevant laws or if we are obliged due to a judicial ruling. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose, the processing is performed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR. If such processing is necessary in order to fulfill or initiate a contract with you, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR. In some cases, e.g. in order to fulfill tax obligations, for example, we may be subject to a legal obligation to process personal data. In such cases, the legal basis for this is Article 6 para. 1 c GDPR. In rare cases, processing may also be done to protect your vital interests or another natural person. In this exceptional case, processing will take place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 d GDPR. Lastly, processing operations may also be based on Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR. This is the case if processing takes place in order to safeguard a legitimate interest for our company or a third party, provided your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not predominate. Such a legitimate interest can already be accepted if you are our customer. If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 para. 1 f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities.

When using our website, the following information will be stored for organisational and technical reasons: the names of the pages you accessed, the browser you used and your operating system, the date and time of access, search engines used, the names of files downloaded and your IP address.

The information collected is required to deliver the contents of our website correctly. In addition, we evaluate this technical data anonymously and only for statistical purposes in order to be able to continually improve our website and make our internet services more attractive, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information required for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This data is stored separately from other personal information on secure systems. It cannot be used to infer the identity of individuals. Processing is done based on our legitimate interest in efficient, secure provision of our website pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f within the meaning of Art. 28 of the GDPR.

Due to statutory regulations, our website contains information that makes quick electronic contact and direct communication with us possible. This includes the indication of an e-mail address and, where applicable, a contact form. Processing of the user’s information in this respect is done pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b of the GDPR.

If you contact us by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal information transmitted by you will be stored automatically. The information voluntarily transmitted by you to us will be stored for the purposes of processing your request or for contacting you accordingly, and then deleted immediately. It will not be shared with third parties.

We process the personal data of data subjects in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 of the GDPR, only insofar as it is necessary to achieve the underlying purpose or where provided for under legal obligations to which our company is subject. If the purpose of data storage no longer applies or if a legal retention period is designated, e.g. due to specifications of the revenue code or the commercial code under commercial or tax law, personal data will be erased according to statutory regulations unless we are legally obliged to continue storing this data. In such cases, the processing of personal data will be restricted.

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated-decision making and profiling.

Personal data will be erased after the statutory retention period has expired if it is no longer required for contractual fulfilment or initiation.

Provision of personal data is required by law or by the contract in some cases. For this reason, it may be necessary for you to provide us with personal information that must be processed by us, such as when concluding a contract. For example, you will be required to provide personal information for the formation of a contract. Failure to do so may have the result that the contract cannot be concluded.

You may contact our data protection officers before providing personal data. They will clarify whether the provision of personal data is required by law or by the contract in a given case and what the consequences of failure to provide this data would be.

As the data controller responsible for processing, we have taken technical and organisational security measures pursuant to Art. 32 of the GDPR. This includes in particular measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data. Furthermore, we have established processes to guarantee that the rights of the data subject, erasure of personal data and immediate response to threats to such data are ensured. We also ensure the protection of personal data as early as the development and selection of hardware and software in accordance with the principles of Art. 25 of the GDPR. All of our employees and persons involved in data processing are bound to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and other laws related to data protection as well as the confidential handling of personal data.

If personal data is collected and processed, the information will be transmitted in encrypted form to prevent misuse of the data by third parties. Our security measures will be updated continuously according to the development of technology.

However, internet-based data transfers may have holes in security generally, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

We reserve the right to make changes to our security and data protection measures where necessary due to technical development. In these cases, we will also update our data privacy policy accordingly. Therefore we ask that you observe the respective current version of our data privacy statement.

If you use external links that are provided on our website, these are not covered by this data privacy statement. If we provide links, we will ensure that no violations of applicable law can be found on the linked websites at the time the link is established. However, we have no influence on the compliance of other providers with the regulations of data protection and security. Therefore we ask that you read the data privacy statements of other providers on their websites.

When you visit one of our websites, it may be that we store information in the form of a cookie on your computer. Cookies are small text files sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive.

Besides the internet protocol address, no personal data from the user are stored. This information is intended to automatically recognise you on your next visit to our websites and to make navigation easier for you. Cookies allow us, for example, to customise a website according to your interests or to store your password so that you do not have to re-enter it every time.

Of course, you can also view our websites without cookies. If you do not want us to recognize your computer, you can prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive by selecting “Do not accept cookies” in your browser settings. Even cookies that have already been set can be deleted via your browser. Please find the details on how to do this in the instructions from your browser's manufacturer. If you do not accept cookies, this may lead to functional restrictions of our offers.

Persons under the age of 16 should not submit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or guardians. We do not solicit personal information from children and adolescents, do not collect them and do not share them with third parties.

If you give us your consent for newsletters, we will process your contact data in order to send you invitations and tickets to exclusive events and information about intralogistics products and solutions - also from other companies of the SSI Schäfer Group - by e-mail. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. We will store your data until you revoke your consent, if applicable.

Unsubscribing is possible at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or a corresponding message to us. Your last name and other data transmitted in connection with the newsletter registration will then be deleted by us immediately.

The processing is based on the consent of the respective recipient pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit a), Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 No. 3 UWG or § 7 para. 3 UWG. The proof of the user's registration to our newsletter is based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, as this enables us to prove consent. The e-mail address necessarily provided by the user is stored for this purpose until the user revokes his consent to receive the newsletter.

For this purpose, we use the software Pardot, a service of Salesforce EMEA Limited ("Salesforce"). In this context, data processing by Salesforce companies and Salesforce contractors outside the EEA cannot be excluded, in particular in the USA or other countries for which there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission. Therefore, we have concluded the standard data protection clauses approved by the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO with Salesforce.

For more information on the processing of data by Salesforce, please see Salesforce's privacy policy:

https://www.salesforce.com/eu/company/privacy/

We use Salesforce as a data processor. Data processors may only use the data for the purposes specified by us and are also contractually obligated by us to treat your data exclusively in accord-ance with this privacy policy and the applicable data protection laws. The legal basis for the pro-cessing of your data by Salesforce on our behalf is Art. 28 GDPR.

We set up a password protected direct access to their stored stock data (customer account) for each customer who registers accordingly. Here you can view data about your completed, open and recently sent orders and manage their address details, bank details and newsletter. You agree to treat the personal access data as confidential and to not make it accessible to unauthorised third parties. We cannot accept liability for misused passwords unless we are responsible for the misuse.
With the function “remain logged in” we would like to make your visit of our web pages as pleasant as possible. This feature allows you to use our services without having to log in again each time. For security reasons, however, you will be asked again to enter your password, for example, if you want to change your personal information or if you want to place an order. We recommend that you do not use this feature if the computer is shared by multiple users. Please note that if you use a setting that automatically deletes stored cookies after each session, the “remain logged in” feature will not be available.

We kindly ask you to also take note of the data privacy for our applicants: https://www.ssi-schaefer.com/en-de/company/careers/privacy-policy-for-applicants-523390

For the dispatch of your order, we will forward your address data and, if applicable, your e-mail address and telephone number for an appointment to the logistics company commissioned with the delivery.  The transfer of your data occurs for the execution of the contract on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Some products are shipped directly from the manufacturer to you. In this case, we will pass on your address data to the manufacturer for the delivery of your ordered goods. The transfer of your data occurs for the execution of the contract on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

In order to be able to provide you with advance payments (payment on account, instalments, etc.), we must ensure that this type of payment transaction does not lead to misuse and protects consumers from economic overload. Our company is therefore affiliated with the credit reporting system of the credit bureau for protection against insolvency-based defaults, abuses due to unwillingness to pay as well as improper use by third parties (SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden, Association of Clubs Creditreform eV, Hellersbergstraße 12, 41460 Neuss; CRIF Bürgel GmbH, Radlkoferstraße 2, 81373 Munich; Bundesanzeiger Verlag GmbH, Amsterdamer Strasse 192, 50735 Cologne).

The SSI SCHAEFER Group operates a whistleblowing system to clarify certain misconduct, in particular of its own employees or of persons / employees within the supply chain of the SSI SCHAEFER Group. This ensures that persons within the supply chain of the SSI SCHAEFER Group have a suitable channel to report observed misconduct and thereby contribute to the ongoing compliance of the SSI SSCHAEFER Group.

Within the framework of the whistleblowing system, it may occur that reports are received that also contain information about you as an employee or otherwise affected person within the supply chain of the SSI SCHAEFER Group. This may be the case, for example, if a whistleblower alleges misconduct on your part that immediately proves to be irrelevant or not sufficiently substantiated. It is also conceivable that information about you is merely part of a report that relates to the alleged misconduct of another person. If a communication received provides indications of your possible relevant misconduct and an investigation subsequently begins, we will inform you of this separately as soon as this is possible without jeopardizing the purpose of the investigation.

We process this data primarily to clarify possible misconduct, in addition to pursuing our own claims and legal defense if necessary.

The legal basis for our processing of your personal data is our legitimate interest in clarifying the alleged misconduct (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) and our legal obligation to operate a whistleblowing system (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR).

If the misconduct so requires, we may share your personal data with other concerned parties or government authorities.

We anonymize or delete your personal data at the latest as soon as the purpose pursued by us has been achieved or otherwise ceases to apply.

If you yourself report misconduct via the whistleblowing system, please note the separate data protection information. You can view these directly in the whistleblowing system.

The person responsible for the use of the whistleblowing system and the associated processing of personal data is generally Fritz Schäfer GmbH & Co KG, Fritz-Schäfer-Straße 20, 57290 Neunkirchen, Germany (we, us). The information submitted via the whistleblowing system is therefore initially directed at Fritz Schäfer GmbH & Co KG as the responsible party. If personal data of another company of the SSI SCHAEFER Group is affected by a whistleblower submission, then this respective affected company of the SSI SCHAEFER Group may, depending on the degree of its involvement in the individual case, be considered as a further independently responsible party, in addition to Fritz Schaefer GmbH & Co KG, for the implementation of an investigation procedure and a related processing of personal data. Fritz Schäfer GmbH & Co KG has appointed a data protection officer. Inquiries regarding data protection at the SSI SCHAEFER Group and Fritz Schaefer GmbH & Co KG can be sent to [email protected].

In accordance with and within the scope of the GDPR and national data protection law, you have the right to data access, correction, deletion and restriction of processing as well as the right to data portability. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, e.g. the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen as the competent data protection authority for Fritz Schäfer GmbH & Co KG.

Insofar as we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with and within the scope of the GDPR and national data protection law for reasons arising from your particular situation. If the right to object is exercised, we will no longer process your personal data; unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Due to our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR to communicate and inform the users and interested parties of our services, we maintain various presences on social networks. To the extent that the providers of the respective platform obtain the consent of the users in the processing of personal data, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR.

It is not impossible that personal data of users outside the European Union or the European Economic Area can be processed. This may make it difficult for those affected to enforce their services.

The processing of personal user data takes place regularly for market research and advertising purposes. Based on the user data, profiles are created that make it possible, for example, to display advertisements that correspond to the alleged interests of the respective user. This is done regularly by placing cookies on the device used by the user.

Requests for information and the assertion of your rights should be made directly to the respective providers listed below, as only they have access to personal data of the users and can take appropriate measures and provide information.

If you still need help in exercising your rights, you can of course contact us.
