Privacy notice for costumers

1. Object of the company
   
   

The object of the company is to manufacture machinery for agricultural and municipal technology. Our activities include the collection, processing, use and, where necessary, the transmission of personal data. This is for the purpose of preparing offers, invoices and promotional materials as well as for fulfilling customer orders.

1. Scope of this data privacy statement
   
   

This data privacy statement concerns the personal data of interested parties, suppliers and customers of our company who are natural persons and all other natural persons who are in contact with us, e.g. representatives or employees of legal entities.

1. Processing of data
   
   

Personal data is information concerning your identity. For example, this includes details such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address.
Data is processed for the purpose of contract performance and compliance with legal obligations. We process the data of interested parties to protect our legitimate interests and/or to initiate a contract.
In certain cases we require further details e.g. your name and your address so that we can process your enquiry or perform the requested services. This additional personal data is only collected and stored if you have provided these details voluntarily, for instance, as part of an enquiry, by presenting a business card at a trade fair, a registration, an application as a prospective employee or a potential supplier.
In order to satisfy our contractual obligations we work together with other companies. These include IT service providers, software providers, telephone service providers and document shredders.

1. Transfer of personal data
   
   

Your personal data is only transferred to third parties where necessary for the purpose of performing the aforementioned activities or if you have previously consented to such transfer. These third parties may not use the data for any other purpose.
We only disclose personal data on customers if we are required to do so by law or by a court decision, or if such disclosure is necessary to enforce or protect our general business terms or other agreements. This applies accordingly as regards data storage. Data shall not be disclosed for commercial purposes.
Our employees and companies engaged by us are bound by us to maintain confidentiality.

1. Storage, erasure
   
   

In principle, stored personal data is erased upon the expiry of statutory retention periods.
Stored personal data is also erased if you revoke your consent for storage and there is no other legal basis for storage, when knowledge of this data is no longer necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is stored, or if storage of the data is inadmissible on other legal grounds, unless statutory retention regulations preclude erasure. In such a case, data is not erased but, instead, processing is restricted (blocked).
Moreover, stored personal data is also erased if your personal data was processed unlawfully or has to be erased in accordance with statutory requirements.
If data cannot be erased or only with a disproportionate amount of effort, data is not erased but instead the processing is restricted (blocked).

1. Disclosure, information and rectification
   
   

You can request information about your personal data that we have processed. Upon written request we would be happy to inform you of the personal data concerning you that we have stored.
We cannot guarantee the complete data security of email communications, therefore we can only share confidential information by post.
If your details are not/no longer accurate, you can request rectification. If your data is incomplete, you can request completion. If we have disclosed your details to third parties, we will inform these third parties of the rectification – if this is prescribed by law.

1. Restriction of personal data processing
   
   

You have the right to request restricted processing (blocking) of your personal data for one of the following reasons:

• If you have disputed the accuracy of your personal data and we had the opportunity to review the accuracy.
• If the data was not processed lawfully and you have requested restricted use instead of erasure of the data.
• If your data is no longer required for the purposes of the processing, however you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• If you have lodged an objection, pending verification of whether your interests take precedence.
  
  

1. Right to data portability
   
   

You have the right to receive the personal data that you have given us in a transferable format.

1. The right to object, contact opportunity, complaints
   
   

You can revoke your consent to our collecting and storing your personal data at any time. Moreover, if you have questions concerning our privacy policy or you would like to request correction or erasure of your data, you can send these via email to [email protected] or by post to LIPCO GmbH, Am Fuchsgraben 5b, 77880 Sasbach. You are also entitled to submit complaints to the competent data protection supervisory authority.

1. Amendments to our data privacy provisions
   
   

We reserve the right to amend our security and data privacy measures if this is necessary due to technical developments. In these cases we will also adjust our data privacy guidelines. Therefore please ensure that you always use the current version of our data privacy statement.
