Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy

Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy of SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG

Wel­come to our web­site. We appre­ci­ate your inter­est in our com­pa­ny. We are com­mit­ted to safe­guard­ing the pri­va­cy of your per­son­al data. We process your data in accor­dance with applic­a­ble data pri­va­cy laws, in par­tic­u­lar, the EU Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR) and the nation­al laws applic­a­ble to us.

Your rights as a data sub­ject

First, we would first like to inform you about your rights as a data sub­ject. These rights are cod­i­fied in Arti­cles 15 — 22 of the EU GDPR. These include:

  • The right to access (Arti­cle 15 EU GDPR);
  • The right to era­sure (Arti­cle 17 EU GDPR);
  • The right to rec­ti­fi­ca­tion (Arti­cle 16 EU GDPR);
  • The right to data porta­bil­i­ty (Arti­cle 20 EU GDPR);
  • The right to restrict pro­cess­ing (Arti­cle 18 EU GDPR);
  • The right to object to pro­cess­ing (Arti­cle 21 EU GDPR).

To exer­cise these rights, please con­tact datenschutz@de.schunk.com. You may also con­tact us at this e‑mail address if you have ques­tions about how we process data at our com­pa­ny. Addi­tion­al­ly, you have the right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty respon­si­ble for data pro­tec­tion.

Rights to object

Please note the fol­low­ing regard­ing your rights to object:

If we process your per­son­al data for direct mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es, you have the right to object to such pro­cess­ing of your data at any time with­out giv­ing rea­sons. This also includes pro­fil­ing for direct mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es.

If you make such an objec­tion to the pro­cess­ing of your data for direct mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es, we will cease to process your per­son­al data for this pur­pose. You can make this objec­tion free of charge and infor­mal­ly by con­tact­ing datenschutz@de.schunk.com.

In the event that we process your data to pro­tect legit­i­mate inter­ests, you may object to such pro­cess­ing at any time on grounds relat­ing to your par­tic­u­lar sit­u­a­tion; this also includes pro­fil­ing based on these pro­vi­sions.

We will then cease to process your per­son­al infor­ma­tion unless we can demon­strate com­pelling legit­i­mate grounds for the pro­cess­ing which over­ride your inter­ests, rights and free­doms, or the pro­cess­ing is for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defense of legal claims.

Pur­pos­es and legal bases of data pro­cess­ing

We process your per­son­al data in com­pli­ance with the pro­vi­sions of the EU GDPR, the Ger­man Fed­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Act (BDSG, new) and all oth­er applic­a­ble data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions. The legal bases for the pro­cess­ing of data are pri­mar­i­ly based on Arti­cle 6 of the EU GDPR.

We use your data to ini­ti­ate a con­tract, ful­fill con­trac­tu­al and legal oblig­a­tions, exe­cute the con­tract, offer prod­ucts and ser­vices and strength­en the cus­tomer rela­tion­ship. This may also include ana­lyt­ics for mar­ket­ing and direct adver­tis­ing pur­pos­es. We also take sound and visu­al record­ings at events and use these for our press work, the com­pa­ny’s own pub­li­ca­tions (e.g. cus­tomer and employ­ee news­pa­per, brochures, fly­ers, cat­a­logs, pre­sen­ta­tions, etc.) and our web­site as well as for the com­pa­ny’s social media chan­nels.

Your con­sent also con­sti­tutes per­mis­sion under data pri­va­cy law. When you give your con­sent, we inform you about the pur­pos­es of data pro­cess­ing and your right to object. If the con­sent also relates to the pro­cess­ing of spe­cial cat­e­gories of per­son­al data, we will express­ly inform you in the con­sent.

Spe­cial cat­e­gories of per­son­al data as defined in Arti­cle 9 (1) of the GDPR are processed only if required by law and there is no rea­son to believe that your legit­i­mate inter­est over­rides exclu­sion from pro­cess­ing.

Dis­clo­sure to third par­ties

We will only pass on your data to third par­ties with­in the pro­vi­sions of the law or with appro­pri­ate con­sent. Oth­er­wise, it will not be passed on to third par­ties unless we are absolute­ly required to do so by law (dis­clo­sure to exter­nal agen­cies such as super­vi­so­ry author­i­ties or law enforce­ment author­i­ties).

Recip­i­ent of data / cat­e­gories of recip­i­ents

We ensure that your data is dis­closed only to those indi­vid­u­als with­in our orga­ni­za­tion who require it for the ful­fill­ment of con­trac­tu­al and legal oblig­a­tions.

In many cas­es, ser­vice providers assist our depart­ments in per­form­ing their tasks (e.g. send­ing out newslet­ters). All ser­vice providers have entered into the manda­to­ry data pri­va­cy agree­ment.

Trans­fer to third coun­tries / intent to trans­fer to third coun­tries

Data is trans­ferred to third coun­tries (out­side the Euro­pean Union or the Euro­pean Eco­nom­ic Area) only if required by law or if you have giv­en us your con­sent to do so.

We trans­fer your per­son­al data to a ser­vice provider or to affil­i­ates in the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca to pro­vide you with social media fea­tures and video con­tent.

The nec­es­sary lev­el of data pri­va­cy is ensured through com­pul­so­ry data pri­va­cy agree­ments with ser­vice providers.

Data reten­tion peri­ods

We store your data as long as it is need­ed for a par­tic­u­lar pro­cess­ing pur­pose. Please note that many data reten­tion laws require stor­age of data for longer peri­ods. This main­ly applies to com­mer­cial or tax-relat­ed data reten­tion laws (e.g. the Ger­man Com­mer­cial Code, Tax Code, etc.). Unless fur­ther reten­tion require­ments apply, data will be rou­tine­ly delet­ed after use.

In addi­tion, we may retain the data if you have giv­en us your per­mis­sion to do so, or if legal dis­putes arise and we use evi­dence with­in the statu­to­ry lim­i­ta­tion peri­od, which may be up to thir­ty years; the reg­u­lar term of lim­i­ta­tion is three years.

Secure trans­fer of your data

We take appro­pri­ate tech­ni­cal and orga­ni­za­tion­al secu­ri­ty mea­sures to pro­tect the data we store against acci­den­tal or inten­tion­al manip­u­la­tion, loss, destruc­tion or access by unau­tho­rized per­sons. Secu­ri­ty lev­els are con­tin­u­ous­ly reviewed in coop­er­a­tion with secu­ri­ty experts and adapt­ed to new secu­ri­ty stan­dards.

Exchange of data to and from our web­site is encrypt­ed. We offer HTTPS trans­fer pro­to­col on our web­site and we use the lat­est encryp­tion pro­to­cols. You also have the option of using alter­na­tive means of com­mu­ni­ca­tion (e.g. postal mail).

Oblig­a­tion to pro­vide data

Var­i­ous per­son­al data is required in order to estab­lish, exe­cute and ter­mi­nate the con­trac­tu­al rela­tion­ship as well as ful­fill the asso­ci­at­ed con­trac­tu­al and legal oblig­a­tions. The same applies to the use of our web­site and the var­i­ous func­tions it pro­vides.

We have sum­ma­rized the details of this in the above-men­tioned item. In cer­tain cas­es, we are required by law to col­lect or make data avail­able. Please note that we can­not process your inquiry or exe­cute the asso­ci­at­ed con­trac­tu­al rela­tion­ship unless this data has been pro­vid­ed.

Cat­e­gories, sources and ori­gin of data

The data we process dif­fers accord­ing to con­text and depends on whether you place an order online, enter a request on our con­tact form, send us an appli­ca­tion, sub­mit a com­plaint, or book or process online train­ing.

Please note that we may also make infor­ma­tion avail­able sep­a­rate­ly if appro­pri­ate for spe­cial pro­cess­ing sit­u­a­tions, for exam­ple when you upload appli­ca­tion doc­u­ments or sub­mit a con­tact request.

We process the fol­low­ing per­son­al data as part of the con­trac­tu­al rela­tion­ship out­side the online store and for tak­ing steps pri­or to enter­ing into a con­tract rela­tion­ship:

Cus­tomer Mag­a­zine

Our cus­tomer mag­a­zine is pub­lished under the fol­low­ing link: https://bluejournal.schunk.com/. The web­site uses Mato­mo, a cook­ie-based open-source web ana­lyt­ics soft­ware plat­form, to ana­lyze the usage behav­ior of vis­i­tors to our web­site. The infor­ma­tion col­lect­ed by the cook­ie (brows­er type and brows­er ver­sion, oper­at­ing sys­tem, your coun­try of ori­gin, date and time of serv­er request, num­ber of vis­its, your time spent on the web­site, as well as any exter­nal links that you have acti­vat­ed) is saved to our serv­er. This infor­ma­tion is used for the pur­pose of opti­miz­ing our web­site, in which we have a legit­i­mate inter­est with­in the mean­ing of Art. 6 (1) (f) of the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR).

This data is not passed on to any third par­ty. It is stan­dard prac­tice to short­en or anonymize the IP address before sav­ing. By anonymiz­ing the IP address, it is impos­si­ble to iden­ti­fy the user.

You may object to the anonymized data col­lec­tion by Mato­mo by des­e­lect­ing the check­box. How­ev­er, we wish to point out that in this case you would then only have restrict­ed use of the web­site as not all func­tions will be avail­able in full.

You may choose to pre­vent this web­site from aggre­gat­ing and ana­lyz­ing the actions you take here. Doing so will pro­tect your pri­va­cy, but will also pre­vent the own­er from learn­ing from your actions and cre­at­ing a bet­ter expe­ri­ence for you and oth­er users.

Delet­ing your cook­ies will also delete the Mato­mo Opt-Out cook­ie. The opt out must be reac­ti­vat­ed when return­ing to our web­site.

Links to oth­er providers

Our web­site also con­tains clear­ly iden­ti­fi­able links to the web­sites of oth­er com­pa­nies. We have no influ­ence on the con­tent of links to the web­sites of oth­er providers. There­fore, no respon­si­bil­i­ty or lia­bil­i­ty can be assumed for such con­tent. The con­tent of such web­sites is always the respon­si­bil­i­ty of the respec­tive provider or oper­a­tor of the web­site.

Linked web­sites were checked for pos­si­ble legal vio­la­tions and iden­ti­fi­able infringe­ments at the time when the links were cre­at­ed. Ille­gal con­tent was not rec­og­niz­able at the time when the links were cre­at­ed. How­ev­er, con­tin­u­ous mon­i­tor­ing of linked web­sites is not fea­si­ble with­out con­crete evi­dence of an infringe­ment. Such links will be removed prompt­ly upon noti­fi­ca­tion of rights vio­la­tions.

Cook­ies (Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (f) of the EU GDPR / Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (a) of the EU GDPR upon con­sent)

Our web­site uses cook­ies in some places. Cook­ies make our web­site more user-friend­ly, effec­tive and secure. Cook­ies are small text files that are placed on your com­put­er and stored by your brows­er (local­ly on your hard dri­ve).

These cook­ies enable us to ana­lyze how vis­i­tors use our web­sites. This allows us to cus­tomize web­site con­tent accord­ing to the vis­i­tor’s needs. Cook­ies also help us to mea­sure the effec­tive­ness of a giv­en adver­tise­ment and to place it accord­ing to the user’s inter­ests, for exam­ple.

Most of the cook­ies we use are “ses­sion cook­ies”. They are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed after your vis­it. Per­sis­tent cook­ies are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed from your com­put­er when their valid­i­ty peri­od (usu­al­ly six months) is reached or you delete them your­self before they expire.

Most web browsers accept cook­ies auto­mat­i­cal­ly. You can usu­al­ly change your browser’s set­tings if you pre­fer not to send the infor­ma­tion. You can still use the ser­vices of our web­site with­out restric­tions (with the excep­tion of con­fig­u­ra­tors).

We use cook­ies to make our web­site more user-friend­ly, effec­tive and secure. We also use cook­ies that allow us to ana­lyze how vis­i­tors use our web­sites. This allows us to cus­tomize con­tent accord­ing to the vis­i­tor’s needs. Cook­ies also help us to mea­sure the effec­tive­ness of a giv­en adver­tise­ment and to place it accord­ing to the user’s inter­ests, for exam­ple.

Cook­ies are stored on the user’s com­put­er and sent to us from the user’s com­put­er. This means that you as a user have full con­trol over the use of cook­ies. You can dis­able or restrict cook­ies by chang­ing the set­tings in your web brows­er. Fur­ther­more, exist­ing cook­ies can be delet­ed at any time via a web brows­er or oth­er soft­ware pro­grams. This can be done in all com­mon web browsers.

Please note: If you dis­able cook­ies, not all func­tions of our web­site may be ful­ly usable.

User pro­files / web track­ing meth­ods

This web­site uses Google Ana­lyt­ics, a web ana­lyt­ics ser­vice pro­vid­ed by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Ana­lyt­ics uses “cook­ies,” text files that are stored on your com­put­er, to ana­lyze your use of the web­site. The infor­ma­tion gen­er­at­ed by the cook­ie about your use of the site is usu­al­ly trans­mit­ted to a Google serv­er in the USA and stored there. How­ev­er, if IP anonymiza­tion is acti­vat­ed on this web­site, Google will abbre­vi­ate your IP address inside mem­ber states of the Euro­pean Union or the Euro­pean Eco­nom­ic Area before trans­mis­sion. Only in excep­tion­al cas­es will your full IP address be sent to a Google serv­er in the USA and abbre­vi­at­ed there. Google will use this infor­ma­tion on behalf of the oper­a­tor of this web­site to ana­lyze your use of the site, cre­ate reports on web­site activ­i­ty and pro­vide addi­tion­al ser­vices to the site oper­a­tor relat­ed to web­site and inter­net use. The IP address obtained from your brows­er by Google Ana­lyt­ics will not be com­bined with oth­er Google data. You can pre­vent cook­ies from being stored by adjust­ing your brows­er set­tings; please note, how­ev­er, that doing so may pre­vent you from ful­ly using all of the func­tions of this web­site. You may also pre­vent the infor­ma­tion gen­er­at­ed by the cook­ie regard­ing your use of the web­site (includ­ing your IP address) from being sent to or processed by Google by opt­ing out. To do so, you must down­load and install the brows­er plu­g­in avail­able from the fol­low­ing link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. In light of the debate over the use of ana­lyt­i­cal tools with full IP address­es, please note that this web­site uses Google Ana­lyt­ics with the exten­sion “_anonymizeIp()”; there­fore, IP address­es are used only in abbre­vi­at­ed form to pre­vent them from being traced back to spe­cif­ic users.

Use of Google Dou­bleClick (post view track­ing)

This web­site uses Google Dou­bleClick cook­ies (Flood­lights). Dou­bleclick is a ser­vice from Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed, Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ire­land. Cook­ies are small text files that are stored by your brows­er. They are used to ana­lyze how this web­site is used. The data col­lect­ed is anonymized and ana­lyzed for sta­tis­ti­cal pur­pos­es only. Your brows­er is assigned a pseu­do­nymized iden­ti­fi­ca­tion num­ber (ID). Dou­bleClick cook­ies do not con­tain any per­son­al infor­ma­tion. You can pre­vent the use of cook­ies by down­load­ing and installing the brows­er plu­g­in avail­able under “Dou­bleClick Opt-out Exten­sion” when you click this link. Alter­na­tive­ly, you can dis­able Dou­bleclick cook­ies on the Dig­i­tal Adver­tis­ing page by click­ing this link.

Use of Google AdWords (remar­ket­ing / con­ver­sion track­ing)

This web­site uses the Google AdWords ser­vice. Google AdWords is an online adver­tis­ing pro­gram Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed, Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ire­land (“Google”).
We use the remar­ket­ing fea­ture of the Google AdWords ser­vice. The remar­ket­ing fea­ture allows us to show inter­est-based ads to pre­vi­ous vis­i­tors to our web­site when they browse oth­er web­sites that are part of the Google Dis­play Net­work (so-called “Google Ads” on Google itself, or on oth­er web­sites). For this pur­pose, the Remar­ket­ing fea­ture ana­lyzes how users inter­act with our web­site, such as the spe­cif­ic prod­ucts a user was inter­est­ed in, in order to dis­play tar­get­ed ads on oth­er sites after the user has vis­it­ed our site. To do this, Google stores a num­ber in the browsers of users who vis­it cer­tain Google ser­vices or web­sites in the Google Dis­play Net­work. This num­ber, referred to as a “cook­ie,” records the vis­its of these users. This num­ber is used to unique­ly iden­ti­fy a web brows­er on a spe­cif­ic com­put­er and not to iden­ti­fy a per­son. No per­son­al infor­ma­tion is col­lect­ed.
You can dis­able the use of cook­ies by Google by down­load­ing and installing the plug-in avail­able at: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. For more infor­ma­tion about Google Remar­ket­ing and Google’s pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, please vis­it: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.
We also use “con­ver­sion track­ing” as part of the Google AdWords ser­vice. When you click on an ad dis­played by Google, a con­ver­sion track­ing cook­ie is placed on your com­put­er / device. These cook­ies lose their valid­i­ty after 30 days, con­tain no per­son­al data and are there­fore not used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. The infor­ma­tion gath­ered using the con­ver­sion cook­ie is used to gen­er­ate con­ver­sion sta­tis­tics for AdWords adver­tis­ers who have enabled con­ver­sion track­ing.
You can pre­vent cook­ies from being stored by adjust­ing your brows­er set­tings; please note, how­ev­er, that doing so may pre­vent you from ful­ly using all of the func­tions of this web­site.
In addi­tion, you can dis­able inter­est-based ads on Google and inter­est-based Google ads on the web (in the Google Dis­play Net­work) in your brows­er by by choos­ing the “off” but­ton at https://www.google.com/settings/ads or dis­abling this option at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/. For more infor­ma­tion about these set­tings and Google’s pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, see https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=us.

Social plu­g­ins of social net­works

Links to social net­works
Our web­site con­tains links to social media sites, includ­ing Face­book, Twit­ter, YouTube, Insta­gram, LinkedIn and Xing. You can iden­ti­fy links to social media web­sites by the social media com­pa­ny’s icon. These links take you to SCHUNK’s page on the respec­tive social media plat­form. When you click on a link to a social media ser­vice, a con­nec­tion is estab­lished to the servers of that social media ser­vice. This noti­fies the servers of the social media ser­vice that you have vis­it­ed our web­site. Oth­er data is also trans­mit­ted to the provider of the social media ser­vice. This may include the fol­low­ing:

  • Address of the web­site con­tain­ing the link you acti­vat­ed
  • Date and time at which the web­site was opened or the link was acti­vat­ed

If you are already logged in to the social media ser­vice when you acti­vat­ed the link, the provider of the social media ser­vice may be able to deter­mine your user name, and pos­si­bly even your real name, from the data trans­mit­ted and link this infor­ma­tion to your per­son­al user account with the social media ser­vice. You can pre­vent your infor­ma­tion from being asso­ci­at­ed with your per­son­al user account by log­ging out of your user account before­hand.
The servers of the social media ser­vices are locat­ed in the US and oth­er coun­tries out­side the Euro­pean Union. As a result, the data may also be processed by the provider of the social media ser­vice in coun­tries out­side the Euro­pean Union. Please note that com­pa­nies in these coun­tries are sub­ject to data pri­va­cy laws that gen­er­al­ly do not pro­tect per­son­al data to the same extent as the Mem­ber States of the Euro­pean Union.

Face­book

We use so-called “social plu­g­ins” from the Face­book net­work, such as the “Like” but­ton. This plu­g­in is pro­vid­ed and oper­at­ed by Face­book Inc., 1601 S. Cal­i­for­nia Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, and is clear­ly iden­ti­fied with the Face­book logo. If you access one of our pages that con­tains a plu­g­in, your brows­er will estab­lish a con­nec­tion to the Face­book servers. The con­tent of the plug-ins is trans­mit­ted by Face­book direct­ly to your brows­er and dis­played in our envi­ron­ment with­out any influ­ence by us on the con­tent of the plu­g­in.

Face­book may in some cir­cum­stances track your vis­it to the cor­re­spond­ing page and asso­ciate it with your Face­book account if you have one or if you recent­ly vis­it­ed a Face­book page or a page with Face­book con­tent. If you active­ly use plug-ins (e.g., you click the like but­ton), the cor­re­spond­ing infor­ma­tion will also be trans­mit­ted direct­ly to Face­book with­out any influ­ence on our part. For more spe­cif­ic infor­ma­tion on how Face­book uses your infor­ma­tion, please see the Face­book Data Use Pol­i­cy. There, you will also learn more about your rights as well as set­tings to pro­tect your pri­va­cy.

If you do not want Face­book to asso­ciate your vis­it to our web­site with your Face­book account, be sure to log out of your Face­book account or select the check box at the end of this para­graph.

You can also block social plu­g­ins with add-ons for your brows­er, such as Face­book Block­er.

Twit­ter

You will find cer­tain func­tions of the Twit­ter ser­vice embed­ded on our site. These func­tions are pro­vid­ed by Twit­ter Inc., 1355 Mar­ket St, Suite 900, San Fran­cis­co, CA 94103, USA. By using Twit­ter and the “ReTweet” func­tion, the web­sites you vis­it will be asso­ci­at­ed with your Twit­ter account and revealed to oth­er users. Data regard­ing your vis­it will also be trans­mit­ted to Twit­ter.

Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowl­edge of the con­tent of the trans­mit­ted data or its use by Twit­ter. For more infor­ma­tion, be sure to read the Twit­ter Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy at https://twitter.com/privacy.

YouTube

Our web­site uses plu­g­ins from YouTube, a site owned by Google. The site is oper­at­ed by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cher­ry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you vis­it a page on our web­site that con­tains a YouTube plug-in, you are con­nect­ed to YouTube’s servers. In this case, the YouTube serv­er will know which of our pages you vis­it­ed.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can asso­ciate your brows­ing his­to­ry direct­ly with your per­son­al pro­file. You can pre­vent this by log­ging out of your YouTube account.

LinkedIn

This web­site uses the analy­sis and con­ver­sion track­ing tech­nol­o­gy from LinkedIn Inc. (“LinkedIn”), LinkedIn Ire­land Unlim­it­ed Com­pa­ny, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ire­land. The above-men­tioned tech­nol­o­gy from LinkedIn enables adver­tis­ing based on your inter­ests and which is more rel­e­vant to you to be dis­played. The legal basis for this data pro­cess­ing is our jus­ti­fied inter­est in cus­tomer-ori­ent­ed mar­ket­ing Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (f) of the EU GDPR. Fur­ther­more, LinkedIn also pro­vides us with aggre­gat­ed and anony­mous reports of adver­tis­ing activ­i­ty and infor­ma­tion about how you inter­act with our web­site. LinkedIn is, how­ev­er, able to match a vis­it to our site with your LinkedIn user account.

We have no influ­ence on the data col­lect­ed by LinkedIn in this way, nor on the extent of the data col­lect­ed by LinkedIn. We also have no knowl­edge of the con­tent of the data trans­mit­ted to LinkedIn.

Fur­ther infor­ma­tion on data pro­tec­tion at LinkedIn can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig

You may with­draw con­sent to Linked­In’s analy­sis of your usage behav­ior and the dis­play of inter­est-based rec­om­men­da­tions (“opt-out”). To do this click on the field “Opt Out on LinkedIn” (for LinkedIn mem­bers) or “Opt Out” (for oth­er users) at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

Con­tact form / con­tact­ing us by e‑mail (Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, points (a) and (b) of the EU GDPR).

Our web­site includes a con­tact form that can be used to con­tact us. If you write to us via the con­tact form, we will process your data pro­vid­ed in the con­tact form to con­tact you and answer your ques­tions and inquires.

We respect the prin­ci­ple of data econ­o­my and data avoid­ance by requir­ing you to pro­vide only the infor­ma­tion we need to con­tact you. This includes your e‑mail address and the mes­sage field itself. In addi­tion, your IP address is processed for tech­ni­cal rea­sons and legal pro­tec­tion. All oth­er data are option­al fields and can be pro­vid­ed vol­un­tar­i­ly (e.g. so we can answer your ques­tions more per­son­al­ly).

If you con­tact us by e‑mail, we will process the per­son­al infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed in the e‑mail sole­ly for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your inquiry.

Reg­is­tra­tion for web sem­i­nars (Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (b) of the EU GDPR)
When vis­it­ing our web­site, you have the option to reg­is­ter for cer­tain web sem­i­nars.

We col­lect and process the fol­low­ing data:

  • First name and last name
  • Com­pa­ny
  • E‑mail address:
  • Salu­ta­tion (option­al)
  • Fur­ther infor­ma­tion (option­al)

The data col­lect­ed will be processed exclu­sive­ly for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your reg­is­tra­tion and coor­di­nat­ing your par­tic­i­pa­tion in the respec­tive web sem­i­nar and will be delet­ed as soon as the pur­pose of the data col­lec­tion ceas­es to apply, where­by statu­to­ry reten­tion peri­ods must be accord­ing­ly tak­en into account. We ensure that your data is dis­closed only to those indi­vid­u­als with­in our orga­ni­za­tion who require it for the ful­fill­ment of con­trac­tu­al and legal oblig­a­tions. With­in the scope of reg­is­tra­tion, your data will also be for­ward­ed to the fol­low­ing recip­i­ents for the pur­pose of imple­men­ta­tion: Cen­tral Event Coor­di­na­tion(kundenevents@de.schunk.com).
It is not trans­ferred to third coun­tries (to coun­tries out­side the EU / EEA).

Newslet­ter (Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (a) of the EU GDPR)

You can sub­scribe to a free newslet­ter on our web­site. The e‑mail address and your name pro­vid­ed in the newslet­ter sub­scrip­tion will be used to send a per­son­al­ized newslet­ter.

We respect the prin­ci­ple of data econ­o­my and data avoid­ance by requir­ing only your e‑mail address (or your name, in the case of a per­son­al­ized newslet­ter) in order to sign up. In addi­tion, your IP address is processed for tech­ni­cal rea­sons and legal pro­tec­tion when you sub­scribe to the newslet­ter.

You can of course can­cel your sub­scrip­tion at any time by choos­ing the opt-out option pro­vid­ed in the newslet­ter, there­by revok­ing your con­sent.

SCHUNK newslet­ters con­tain web bea­cons. A web bea­con is a tiny graph­ic that is embed­ded in e‑mails sent in HTML for­mat in order to enable log file record­ing and analy­sis. It allows for a sta­tis­ti­cal analy­sis of the suc­cess or fail­ure of online mar­ket­ing cam­paigns. SCHUNK can use the embed­ded web bea­con to detect if and when an e‑mail was opened by a data sub­ject and which links the data sub­ject opened in the e‑mail.

The con­troller stores and ana­lyzes the per­son­al data col­lect­ed by web bea­cons embed­ded in newslet­ters in order to opti­mize send­ing of newslet­ters and to bet­ter adapt the con­tent of future newslet­ters to the inter­ests of the data sub­ject. This per­son­al data is not dis­closed to third par­ties. Data sub­jects may with­draw the spe­cial con­sent giv­en via the dou­ble-opt-in process at any time. This per­son­al data is delet­ed by the con­troller after con­sent is revoked. SCHUNK auto­mat­i­cal­ly inter­prets the can­cel­la­tion of a newslet­ter sub­scrip­tion as a revo­ca­tion of con­sent.

Adver­tis­ing pur­pos­es for exist­ing cus­tomers (Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (f) of the EU GDPR)

SCHUNK is inter­est­ed in main­tain­ing the cus­tomer rela­tion­ship with you and pro­vid­ing you with infor­ma­tion and offers about our prod­ucts, ser­vices and events. There­fore, we process your data in order to send you appro­pri­ate infor­ma­tion and offers by e‑mail or postal mail.

If you do not wish to receive this infor­ma­tion, you may at any time object to the use of your per­son­al infor­ma­tion for the pur­pose of direct mar­ket­ing; this also includes pro­fil­ing for direct mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es. If you object, we will cease to process your data for these pur­pos­es.

You can make your objec­tion free of charge and infor­mal­ly with­out spec­i­fy­ing rea­sons by send­ing an e‑mail to datenschutz@de.schunk.com or by writ­ing to SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG, Spann- und Greiftech­nik, Bahn­hof­str. 106 – 134, D‑74348 Lauffen/Neckar, Ger­many

Pho­tos and sound record­ings of events (Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (f) of the EU GDPR)

We take pho­tos and visu­al record­ings at trade shows and events (pho­tos, videos, etc.). We use these for our press work, the com­pa­ny’s own pub­li­ca­tions (e.g. cus­tomer and employ­ee news­pa­per, brochures, fly­ers, cat­a­logs, pre­sen­ta­tions, etc.) and our web­site as well as for the com­pa­ny’s social media chan­nels. If you do not wish to receive this infor­ma­tion, you may at any time object to the use of your per­son­al infor­ma­tion for the pur­pose of press work; this also includes pro­fil­ing for record­ing pur­pos­es. If you object, we will cease to process your data for these pur­pos­es. You can make your objec­tion free of charge and infor­mal­ly with­out spec­i­fy­ing rea­sons by send­ing an e‑mail to datenschutz@de.schunk.com or by writ­ing to SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG, Spann- und Greiftech­nik, Bahn­hof­str. 106 – 134, D‑74348 Lauffen/Neckar, Ger­many

Appli­cant por­tal (Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, points (a) and (b) of the EU-GDPR)

Thank you for your inter­est in a career at SCHUNK. We are aware of the impor­tance of your data and process the per­son­al data you pro­vide on the appli­ca­tion form sole­ly for the pur­pose of effi­cient and cor­rect han­dling of the appli­ca­tion process and for con­tact­ing you dur­ing the appli­ca­tion process. No data will be trans­ferred to third par­ties with­out your con­sent.

You will be asked to pro­vide per­son­al infor­ma­tion on the appli­ca­tion form. We respect the prin­ci­ple of data econ­o­my and data avoid­ance by requir­ing you to pro­vide only the data we need to ful­ly review your appli­ca­tion doc­u­ments (such as your resume) and are legal­ly required to col­lect. These required details are marked with an * (aster­isk). Addi­tion­al­ly, your IP address will be processed for tech­ni­cal rea­sons and legal pro­tec­tion.

Unfor­tu­nate­ly, we can­not review your appli­ca­tion doc­u­ments with­out this data, in which case our appli­ca­tion sys­tem will not allow you to upload your appli­ca­tion doc­u­ments. You also have the option of sup­ply­ing infor­ma­tion vol­un­tar­i­ly on the appli­ca­tion form.

We take appro­pri­ate secu­ri­ty mea­sures to pro­tect the secu­ri­ty and con­fi­den­tial­i­ty of your data to the great­est extent pos­si­ble. Your appli­ca­tion doc­u­ments will be encrypt­ed and trans­mit­ted to us by our appli­ca­tion sys­tem.

We store your data for the above pur­pose until the appli­ca­tion process has been com­plet­ed and dead­lines have expired, no lat­er than six months after receipt of a deci­sion.

Online con­tent for chil­dren

Per­sons under the age of 16 may not sub­mit any per­son­al data to us with­out the con­sent of a legal guardian, nor may they give their con­sent. We encour­age par­ents and guardians to active­ly par­tic­i­pate in the online activ­i­ties and inter­ests of their chil­dren. If there are any tests for proof of age or spe­cial pre­cau­tions for child pro­tec­tion / data pri­va­cy (e.g. in apps), explain them here or include sep­a­rate link.

Use of the DIP (Dis­tri­b­u­tion Infor­ma­tion Por­tal)

Under cer­tain pre­req­ui­sites, you have the option to use our DIP (Dis­tri­b­u­tion Infor­ma­tion Por­tal). You must pro­vide your per­son­al data in order to reg­is­ter. A per­son­al­ized account will then be cre­at­ed for you. Your e‑mail address is used as your login and for pro­vid­ing your pass­word. The legal basis in this case is Arti­cle 6, para­graph 1, point (b) of the EU GDPR, as this can be used for the imple­men­ta­tion of any pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures.

In this case, the prin­ci­ple of data econ­o­my and data avoid­ance is also nat­u­ral­ly observed, because only the data nec­es­sary for the use of the DIP is col­lect­ed. The data col­lect­ed in this con­text will be delet­ed once this pur­pose has been achieved. Of course, you also have the option – should you no longer wish to use our DIP – to delete the account. To do this, sim­ply con­tact your usu­al SCHUNK con­tact per­son or send an e‑mail to datenschutz@de.schunk.com or a let­ter by post to SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG, Spann- und Greiftech­nik, Bahn­hof­str. 106 – 134, 74348 Lauffen/Neckar, Ger­many.
