As a rule, we process the data of our website users only to the extent required to provide a functioning website along with its contents and services. The user data are processed pursuant to the legal bases and only for the purposes defined by us in advance.
HYDAC processes the data in compliance with the provisions of the GDPR.
Consent
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of data, Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) of the GDPR provides the legal basis.
Performance of a contract or implementation of pre-contractual measures
Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (b) of the GDPR provides the legal basis for processing any data required to perform a contract to which the data subject is a party. It also serves as the basis for processing data required to implement pre-contractual measures.
Legal obligation
Insofar as processing of data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (c) of the GDPR in conjunction with the national regulation pursuant to Art. 6(3) of the GDPR provides the legal basis.
Legitimate interest
If processing the data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the aforementioned interests, Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the data processing.
The data of the data subject are erased or the processing of the data is restricted as soon as the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. The data can be also be stored if such storage is provided for by European or national legislators in regulations, laws or other rules under Union law to which the data controller is subject. In addition, the data processing is restricted or the data are erased when the storage period stipulated under the aforementioned standards expires, unless a need exists to store the data for a longer period of time to conclude or perform a contract.
V. Rights of the data subject
If your data are processed, then you are the data subject pursuant to the GDPR and you have the following rights with regard to the data controller:
You may request the data controller to confirm if we are processing any data relating to you.
If we are processing your data, you may request the following information from the data controller:
You are entitled to request information on whether your data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request notification regarding the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR in connection with such transfer.
If the processed data relating to you are incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to obtain from the data controller the rectification and/or completion of the data. The data controller must rectify the data without delay.
You may request the restriction of the processing of the data relating to you under the following conditions:
If the processing of these data relating to you is restricted, these data - with the exception of their storage - are permitted to be processed only with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend any legal claims or protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the processing of the data is restricted in accordance with the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.
You may demand that the data controller erase your data without delay, and the data controller is required to erase these data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:
If the data controller has made your data public and is required under Art. 17(1) of the GDPR to erase such data, then the data controller, taking account of the available technology and the cost of implementation, will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform data controllers responsible for processing the data that you, as the data subject, have requested the data controllers to erase all links, copies or replication of these data.
The right to erasure does not exist if it is necessary to process the data
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure of the data or restriction of the processing of the data to the data controller, the data controller is required to notify all the recipients to whom your data was disclosed of the rectification or erasure of the data or the restriction of the processing of the data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be notified of these recipients by the data controller.
You have the right to receive your data which you have provided to the data controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer these data to another data controller without hindrance from the data controller to whom the data were provided, insofar as
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of the data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller.
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of data relating to you which is based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions.
The data controller no longer processes the data relating to you unless the data controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing the data which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing of the data serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data for the purposes of such marketing, including for profiling if it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing of the data for purposes of direct marketing, then your data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services - regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC - you have the option of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under the data privacy law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of the data based on the consent before it is withdrawn.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similarly negative manner. This does not apply if the decision
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to safeguard the rights, freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the first two alternatives, the data controller takes appropriate measures to safeguard rights, freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention from the data controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you or your workplace are located or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your data represents an infringement of the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall notify the complainant regarding the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 of the GDPR.
You have the option of preventing the actions that you perform here being analysed and linked. This will protect your privacy but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving the usability for you and other users.

Data processing
We have concluded a data processing contract with the above-named provider. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law that ensures that the provider process the personal data of visitors to our website only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection from the padlock icon in the address bar of your browser and the fact that the "http://" in your browser bar changes to "https://".
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If, after concluding a contract for which a fee applies, you are obliged to send us your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorisation), these data will be used for processing the payment.
Payment transactions using standard means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can identify an encrypted connection from the padlock icon in the address bar of your browser and the fact that the "http://" in your browser bar changes to "https://".
In the case of encrypted communication, the payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
On some of our web pages, we use the open-source software tool Matomo to analyse our users' surfing behaviour. The software places a cookie on the user's computer (for information on cookies, see above). The following data are saved when the individual pages of our website are opened:
The software runs exclusively on our website servers. The data are stored exclusively there. The data are not passed on to third parties.
The software is configured not to store full IP addresses, instead masking 2 bytes of the IP address (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). This renders attribution of the truncated IP to the accessing computer impossible.
The legal basis for the processing of the users' data is the consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR.
Processing user data allows us to statistically analyse user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes. Analysing the data obtained enables us to compile information on the use of individual components of our website. That helps us improve our website and its user friendliness.
Data are only processed with express consent from the user. Anonymisation of the IP address takes the user's interest in protecting his or her data sufficiently into account.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our statistical recording purposes.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and sent from there to our page. As a result, you have full control over the use of cookies as a user. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been stored may be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may not be possible to use all the functions it offers to their full extent.
On our website, users can opt out of the analytics process. To do so, follow the corresponding link. This sets another cookie on your system, which tells our system not to save the user's data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie on his or her own system, he or she must set the opt-out cookie again.
For further details on the privacy settings of the Matomo software, see the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/ .
On some of our web pages, we use the web tracking service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google Analytics"). As part of the web tracking, Google Analytics uses cookies which are saved on your computer and allow your use of the website and your surfing behaviour to be analysed (tracked). We perform these analyses on the basis of Google Analytics' tracking service in order to continuously optimise our online offering and improve its accessibility. Data are sent to servers of Google Ireland Limited in connection with the use of our website, in particular your IP address and your user activities. We perform these analyses on the basis of Google's tracking service in order to continuously optimise our online offering and improve its accessibility. We also require web tracking for security reasons. The web tracking allows us to track whether third parties are attacking our website. The information provided by the web tracker allows us to take effective countermeasures and protect the personal data we process from these cyber attacks. Activating IP anonymisation in the Google Analytics tracking code for this website causes Google Analytics to anonymise your IP address before it is transferred. This website uses a Google Analytics tracking code that includes the operator gat._anonymizeIp(); so that IP addresses can only be collected in anonymous form (IP masking).
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to incorporate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies into our website. Google Tag Manager does not create any user profiles itself, does not save any cookies and does not perform any independent analyses. Its only purpose is the management and utilisation of the tools that it has been used to incorporate. Google Tag Manager does, however, collect your IP address, which can also be sent to the parent company of Google in the United States.
The use of the Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in rapid and straightforward incorporation and management of various tools on its website. If corresponding consent has been asked for, the processing is performed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR; this consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data processing
We have concluded a contract with Google for data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities in the use of Google Analytics.
Google Analytics E-Commerce Measurement
This website uses the "E-Commerce Measurement" feature of Google Analytics. The website operator can use E-Commerce Measurement to analyse the buying behaviour of the website visitor to improve its online marketing campaigns. Information is collected such as the orders placed, average order values, shipping costs and the time from viewing a product to purchasing it. Google can then group these data under one transaction ID that is linked to the particular user or the user's device.
Storage duration
Data stored by Google at user and incident level that are linked with cookies, user identification features (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) are anonymised/erased after 14 months. Related details are available at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de
The legal basis for the data processing is your provision of consent in our information banner in relation to the use of cookies and web tracking pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR.
The transmission of data to the US is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details are available here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
On behalf of us, Google uses this information to evaluate your visit to this website, compile reports on the website activities and provide us with other services relating to website and Internet use. We also require web tracking for security reasons. The web tracking allows us to track whether third parties are attacking our website. The information provided by the web tracker allows us to take effective countermeasures and protect the personal data we process from these cyber attacks.
Google will store the data relevant to the provision of the web tracking for as long as necessary to fulfil the booked web service. The collection and storage of data is performed in an anonymised way. If the data are traceable to a particular person, the data will be erased without delay, provided that no statutory retention requirements apply. In any case, the data are erased after expiry of the retention requirement.
You can prevent your personal data (in particular your IP address) from being collected and forwarded to Google and processed by Google by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or activating your browser's "Do Not Track" setting. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the Google cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

No further transmission of data is performed, unless you have expressly agreed to the transmission. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes, for example, without your express consent.
The basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Payment services
We incorporate payment services from Adyen N.V., Simon Carmiggeltstraat 6-50, 1011 DJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands, into our website.

The individual contractual and data protection provisions of the individual provider apply for these transactions. The deployment of the payment service provider is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract fulfilment) and in the interest of making the payment process as smooth, convenient and secure as possible (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If your consent is requested for certain actions, the legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

We use the services of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites by means of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are on the basis of the advertising campaign data. In doing this, we are pursuing the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest for you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. This advertising material is provided by Google via so-called "Ad Servers". Accordingly, we use Ad Server cookies that make it possible to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the displaying of the adverts or clicks performed by the user. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will save a cookie on your PC. The data saved for this cookie as analysis values are generally the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), most recent impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marker indicating that the user would prefer not to be addressed in future).
The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.
In doing this, we are pursuing the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest for you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will save a cookie on your computer. These cookies generally become invalid after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The data saved for this cookie as analysis values are generally the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the most recent impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marker indicating that the user would prefer not to be addressed in future).
You can object to the data processing at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways: a) by configuring a corresponding setting in your browser software (in particular, suppressing third-party cookies will stop you from receiving adverts from third-party providers); b) by deactivating your cookies for conversion tracking, by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although the setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although the setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) through permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please be aware, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all of the functions of this online service to their full extent.
Our social media presence
Data processing performed by social networks
We maintain publicly accessibly profiles in social networks. The individual social networks that we use are listed further below.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are generally able to analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or ad banners). When you visit our social media presences, numerous processing procedures are triggered that are relevant to data protection. In particular:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can link this visit to your user account. Your personal data may, however, under some circumstances also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the particular social media portal. In this case, the data collection is performed on the basis of cookies, for example, that are saved on your device or by your IP address being collected.
The operator of the social media portal can use the data thus collected to create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are saved. In this way, interest-based adverts can be displayed to you inside and outside of the particular social media presence. If you have an account with the social network in question, the interest-based adverts can be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.
Please also be aware that we are not aware of all the processing procedures that take place on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, it is possible that further processing procedures will be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details in this regard, please refer to the terms of use and the data protection provisions of the individual social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure that our presence online is as extensive as possible. This is a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on alternative legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Controller and assertion of rights
When you visit one of our social media presences (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing procedures initiated by this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaints) fundamentally both against us and against the operator of the social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).
Please bear in mind that, despite having joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have complete influence over the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options are substantially dependent on the corporate policy of the provider in question.
Storage duration
The data collected by us directly via the social media presence are erased from our systems as soon as you request their erasure, you withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Cookies that have been saved remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal data retention periods - in particular data retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the duration of storage of data saved by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details in this regard, please refer to the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy - see below).

Please be aware that you make use of this Facebook page and its functions under your own responsibility. This applies in particular for the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, liking).
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects your IP address and other information, which is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with statistical information on the utilisation of the Facebook page.
Facebook provides more detailed information in this regard under the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights
The data collected about you in this context are processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transmitted to countries outside the European Union. Facebook provides a general description of what information Facebook receives and how it is used in its data use policy. The policy also includes information on ways to contact Facebook and the setting options for advertising displays.

The complete data policy of Facebook can be accessed here: https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy
Facebook has not stated conclusively and clearly in what way Facebook uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are linked to individual users, how long Facebook saves these data and whether data relating to a visit to a Facebook page are forwarded to third parties, and this is not known to us.
When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your device is sent to Facebook. According to information from Facebook, this IP address is made anonymous (in the case of "German" IP addresses). Furthermore, Facebook saves information on the devices of its users (e.g. in connection with the function "login notification"); it may therefore be possible for Facebook to link IP address to individual users.
If you are currently logged into Facebook as a user, there will be a cookie on your device with your Facebook ID. Facebook is therefore able to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This applies for all other Facebook pages. Facebook is able to used Facebook buttons incorporated into websites to log your visits to these websites and link them to your Facebook profile. These data can be used to provide content or advertisements that are tailored to suit you.
If you would prefer this not to happen, you should log out from Facebook or deactivate the function "remain logged in", delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, Facebook information that would allow you to be identified directly will be deleted. This means that you can use our Facebook page without your Facebook ID being disclosed. When you access interactive functions of the page (like, comment, share, messages etc.), a Facebook login screen is displayed. If you log in, Facebook can once again identify you as a particular user.
Information on how you can manage or delete information relating to you can be found on the following Facebook support pages: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy#
We, as the provider of the information service, do not process any further data resulting from your use of this service. An up-to-date version of this privacy policy can be accessed under "privacy" on our Facebook page.
More information on Page Insights
You can access the agreement with Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
Facebook provides a summary of the main content of this agreement (including the list of Page Insights data) here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data
If you have provided consent to Facebook with regard to the creation of the above-mentioned Page Insights, the legal basis for this is Article 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR (consent). Otherwise, the legal basis is Article 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR, where our legitimate interest is the above-mentioned purposes.
Our purpose is sharing our products and services on the social network. We, as the provider of the information service, do not collect or process any further data resulting from your use of this service.
When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your devices is sent to Facebook. According to information from Facebook, this IP address is made anonymous (in the case of "German" IP addresses) and erased after 90 days. Furthermore, Facebook saves information on the devices of its users (in connection with the function "login notification", for example); it may therefore be possible for Facebook to link IP address to individual users.
You can prevent your personal data (in particular your IP address) from being collected and forwarded to Facebook and processed by Facebook by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or activating your browser's "Do Not Track" setting. Furthermore, you can prevent Facebook from collecting and processing the data generated by the Facebook cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address).
HYDAC uses a YouTube channel that belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Please be aware that you make use of the YouTube channel offered here and its functions under your own responsibility. This applies in particular for the use of the "discussion" function. Information on what data Google processes and what purposes data are used for can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de#infocollect
HYDAC has no influence on the type or scope of the data processed by Google, the type of processing or use or the forwarding of these data to third parties. Accordingly, HYDAC also has no effective ways to monitor this. By using Google, your personal data are collected, transmitted, saved, disclosed and used by Google and thus sent, regardless of where you are domiciled, to the United States, Ireland or any other country where Google does business, and saved and used there. Data are transmitted to companies associated with Google and other trustworthy companies or persons commissioned with processing these data by Google. Google processes, on the one hand, data you have entered voluntarily, such as your name and username, e-mail address and phone number. Google also processes content that you create, upload or receive from others while using the services. This includes, for example, photos and videos that you save, documents and spreadsheets that you create and comments that you make on YouTube videos. On the other hand, Google also evaluates the content you have shared to ascertain what topics you are interested in, saves and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users and can determine your location on the basis of GPS data, information on your wireless network or your IP address in order to provide you with advertising and other content. For the evaluation, Google may use analytical tools such as Google Analytics. HYDAC has no influence on Google's use of such tools and has not been informed of such potential use. In the event of Google using such tools for HYDAC's YouTube channel, HYDAC has neither commissioned this nor supported it in any other way. The data obtained from the analysis are also not made available. HYDAC can only access certain data relating to the subscriber profiles via its account. Furthermore, HYDAC has no way of preventing or stopping the use of such tools on its YouTube channel. Ultimately, Google also receives information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created an account. These so-called "log data" may include the IP address, the browser type, the operating system, information on the previously visited website and the pages accessed by you, your location, your mobile phone provider, the device used by you (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you have used and cookie information. Options for limiting the processing of your data are available in the general settings of your Google account. In addition to these tools, Google also provides privacy settings specific to YouTube. More information in this regard is provided in Google's guide to data privacy in Google products: https://policies.google.com/technologies/product-privacy?hl=de&gl=de
More information on these points can be found in Google's privacy policy under "privacy settings": https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de#infochoices
You can also use the Google privacy form to request information: https://support.google.com/policies/troubleshooter/7575787?visit_id=6370545323842 99914-2421490167&hl=de&rd=2
When you communicate with us via YouTube, HYDAC also processes your data. The processing is carried out as part of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR).
The recipient of the data is initially Google, whereby the data may be forwarded to third parties for Google's own purposes and under Google's responsibility. The recipient of publications is also the general public, i.e. potentially anyone. HYDAC does not collect any data via its YouTube channel itself. Incorporating YouTube videos into our website does not cause the IP addresses of the website visitor to be sent to Google. In particular, no tracking is performed on the website. The data you have entered when using YouTube, in particular your username and the content published under your account, are only processed by us insofar as we may respond to your publications under "discussions". Doing so incorporates the data freely published on and disseminated by you on YouTube into HYDAC's online offering and thus makes it accessible to its followers.
Google will store the data relevant to the provision of the web tracking for as long as necessary to fulfil the booked web service. The collection and storage of data is performed in an anonymised way. If the data are traceable to a particular person, the data will be erased without delay, provided that no statutory retention requirements apply. In any case, the data are erased after expiry of the retention requirement.
You can prevent your personal data (in particular your IP address) from being collected and forwarded to Google and processed by Google by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or activating your browser's "Do Not Track" setting. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the Google cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). The security and data protection policies of Google are available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
HYDAC maintains a social media profile with the social network Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hydacgroup/; https://www.instagram.com/hydacgroup_dach/). Our website therefore uses social plug-ins ("Plug-ins") from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). The plug-ins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an "Instagram camera".
When you access a page of our online presence containing such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Instagram. The content of the plug-in is sent directly to your browser by Instagram and incorporated into the page. This connection informs Instagram that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our online presence, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is sent by your browser directly to an Instagram server in the US and saved there. If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram is able to link the visit to our website directly to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the "Instagram" button, this information is also sent directly to an Instagram server and saved there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and shown to your contacts there. If you would prefer Instagram not to link data collected via our online presence directly to your Instagram account, you need to log out of Instagram before visiting our website. More information can be found in Instagram's privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388).
If you have provided consent with regard to the above-mentioned creation, the legal basis for this is Article 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR (consent). Otherwise, the legal basis is Article 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR, where our legitimate interest is the above-mentioned purposes.
Our purpose is sharing our products and services on the social network. We, as the provider of the information service, do not collect or process any further data resulting from your use of this service.
The data are erased as soon as the user objects to the processing of the data.
If consent has been given, the user has the option at any time of withdrawing consent to the processing of the data. A right to objection also applies in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.
The objection and the withdrawal can be submitted in writing or by e-mail to the office stated in Point I with future effect.
HYDAC maintains a social media profile with the social network LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hydacgroup/about/). When our LinkedIn page is visited, LinkedIn will collect the user's personal data as controller. Such data collection on the part of LinkedIn can also take place in relation to visitors to this page/channel who are not logged in to or registered with LinkedIn.
HYDAC has no way of knowing what user data is collected by LinkedIn. Furthermore, HYDAC does not have comprehensive access to the collected data or your profile data. HYDAC can only see the public information of your profile. You can decide what specific data is made public in your LinkedIn settings.
If our page has a chat function, HYDAC uses your data during the use of the chat function in order to answer your query. The sales and customer support information thus collected is used to make contact with you in order to provide you with the desired information and offers.
HYDAC receives anonymous statistics from LinkedIn regarding the use and utilisation of the page on the basis of legitimate interest. The following information is provided:
HYDAC receives personal data via LinkedIn if you actively share these data with us in a personal message via LinkedIn. These data are used to respond to your concern in our customer support. You data are saved for this purpose. HYDAC also receives personal data via LinkedIn if you send data to us by using a form with fields pre-filled with data from your profile and actively send us the data by clicking a button.
The legal basis that applies here is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.
We use these statistics, which do not allow us to identify individual users, to continuously improve our online service on LinkedIn and better respond to the interests of our users. We are not able to link the statistic data to the profile data of our fans. You can use your LinkedIn settings to decide in what form targeted advertising will be displayed to you.
We only receive anonymous data from LinkedIn. We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures and we are not aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the retention periods. We also have no information regarding erasure of the collected data on the part of the provider. Information on the data collection and further processing on the part of LinkedIn can be found in LinkedIn's data protection guidelines (https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?_l=de_DE).

HYDAC maintains a social media platform with the social network Xing of the operator New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg (https://www.xing.com/pages/hydacinternationalgmbh). When our Xing page is visited, Xing will collect the user's personal data as controller. Such data collection on the part of Xing can also take place in relation to visitors to this page/channel who are not logged in to or registered with Xing.
HYDAC has no way of knowing what user data is collected by Xing. Furthermore, HYDAC does not have comprehensive access to the collected data or your profile data. HYDAC can only see the public information of your profile. You can decide what specific data is made public in your Xing settings.
If our page has a chat function, HYDAC uses your data during the use of the chat function in order to answer your query. The sales and customer support information thus collected is used to make contact with you in order to provide you with the desired information and offers.
HYDAC receives anonymous statistics from Xing regarding the use and utilisation of the page on the basis of legitimate interest. The following information is provided:
HYDAC receives personal data via Xing if you actively share these data with us in a personal message via Xing. These data (e.g. first name, surname, vehicle identification number) are used to respond to your concern in our customer support. You data are saved for this purpose. HYDAC also receives personal data via Xing if you send data to us by using a form with fields pre-filled with data from your profile and actively send us the data by clicking a button.
The legal basis that applies here is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.
We use the statistics, which do not allow us to identify individual users, to continuously improve our online service on Xing and better respond to the interests of our users. We are not able to link the statistic data to the profile data of our fans. You can use your Xing settings to decide in what form targeted advertising will be displayed to you.
We only receive anonymous data from Xing. We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures and we are not aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the retention periods. We also have no information regarding erasure of the collected data on the part of the provider. Information on the data collection and further processing on the part of Xing can be found in Xing's data protection guidelines (https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung).
