How do we collect your data?
Some data is collected automatically or following the provision of consent by IT systems when you visit the website. This information is technical data (internet browser, time of page view etc.) that is automatically collected when you visit the website.
Other data is collected when you provide it to us, for example, when filling in the contact form.
What do we use your data for?
We primarily collect and use your personal data solely to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Some data may also be used to analyse your user behaviour.
What are your rights?
You have the right to obtain information about the source, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You are also entitled to have this data corrected or deleted. If you have given your consent to data processing, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time. You are entitled to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or for the performance of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Article 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal basis for processing can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Access, rectification and erasure
You have the right, within the scope of applicable legal provisions, to request information about your stored personal data at any time, including its origin, recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to have this data rectified or erased. For this and other queries about personal data, you can contact us at any time. Right to restrict processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
Hosting
External Hosting
This website is externally hosted. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the hosting provider. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, metadata, communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.
Our hosting provider will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its contractual obligations and follow our instructions regarding such data.
External hosting is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, processing will take place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TDDDG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) under the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
We use the following hosting provider(s):
1&1 Telecommunication SE
Elgendorfer Str. 57
56410 Montabaur
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) to use the aforementioned service. This is a data protection agreement required by law, which ensures that this provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Storage duration
Unless a specific storage period has been specified, we will store your personal data until the purpose for processing ceases to apply. If you request the legitimate deletion of your data or withdraw your consent, your data will be deleted unless other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data exist.
SSL encryption
This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation to send advertising and information materials that have not been expressly requested is hereby prohibited. The operators of the site reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information.

2. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Our website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to be informed about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be limited if cookies are deactivated.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, the provision of certain functions you have or the optimisation of the website (e.g. cookies to measure web audience) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.
Where consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing will be based exclusively on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. This Privacy Policy explains which cookies and services are used on this website.
Server log files
The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of server enquiry
- IP address
This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
This data is collected based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effective handling of the requests addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), insofar as this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, you revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
Job application
Schiffer Metall- und Vakuumtechnik GmbH collects and processes application data electronically for the purpose of conducting the application process. This also includes the internal transfer of the applicant profile to the relevant department.
The legal basis for the collection and processing of data is provided by legal regulations for the stated purposes (Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as amended; Article 88 GDPR, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, Article 9(2)(b) GDPR) and is necessary for conducting the selection process.
If the job application is rejected, the data will be deleted two months after the rejection is announced. This does not apply if longer retention is required due to legal requirements (e.g. evidence obligations under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)), or until the completion of a legal proceeding.
The legal basis here is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or Section 24(1)(2) BDSG. The legitimate interest of the provider lies in legal defence.
If explicit consent has been given for the longer storage of data in a prospective customer database, the data will continue to be processed based on that consent and will be deleted no later than 12 months thereafter.
The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent to this can be revoked at any time for the future by informing the provider in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR.
3. Analyse tools und werbung
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website. The data collected is used to optimise our website and marketing measures.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided and operated by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States). Google processes the data regarding website usage on our behalf and is contractually bound to take measures to ensure the confidentiality of the processed data.
During your website visit, the data recorded includes:
- Pages viewed
- Achievement of "website goals"
- Your behaviour on the pages (e.g. dwell time, clicks, scroll behaviour)
- Your approximate location (country and city)
- Your IP address (in abbreviated form so that no clear assignment is possible)
- Technical information such as browser, internet provider, end device and screen resolution
- The source of your visit (i.e. via which website or advertising medium you came to us)

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years from your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID, which allows you to be recognised on future website visits.
The data recorded will be stored along with the randomly generated user ID, allowing for the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles.
If you do not agree with this, you can prevent it by installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics or by rejecting it in our cookie consent banner.
The legal basis for the described data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the great benefit of the functions described for our services. The statistical analysis of user behaviour allows us to react to the needs of users and optimise our offer accordingly.
Google Maps
The website uses the Google Maps map service to visually display geographical information. When you use Google Maps, Google collects, processes and uses data about the use of the Maps function. More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
The use of Google Maps is for an attractive presentation of our online offers and to facilitate the location of places indicated on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing will take place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) under the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

We use Google Tag Manager, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself, which implements the tags, is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been performed at the domain or cookie level, it remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
The privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website.

4. Plugins, tools and social media
Google Fonts
This page uses Google Fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This informs Google that your IP address has accessed our website.
The use of Google Fonts is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of fonts on its website.
