Privacy Policy<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n

(Version: 12\/2017)<\/h4><\/div><\/div>\n\n

We are very pleased that you have shown interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of UVEX WINTER HOLDING GmbH & Co. KG and its affiliated companies (hereinafter collectively referred to as the \u201cUvex Group\u201d). In principle, it is possible to use the Uvex Group\u2019s website without providing personal data. However, if an individual wishes to use our corporate services via our website, the processing of personal data may be required. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally seek the consent of the data subject. <\/p>\n

The processing of personal data\u2014such as a data subject\u2019s name, address, email address, or phone number\u2014is always carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Uvex Group. The purpose of this privacy policy is to provide public information about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Data subjects are also informed of their rights under this privacy policy. <\/p>\n

As the data controller, the Uvex Group has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of personal data processed through this website. However, security vulnerabilities can generally occur during Internet-based data transmissions, which means that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, any affected individual is free to provide personal data to us through alternative means, such as by phone. <\/p>\n

1. Definitions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Uvex Group\u2019s privacy policy is based on the terminology used in European directives and laws in connection with the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation. Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used. <\/p>\n

In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:<\/p>\n

a) Personal data<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the \u201cdata subject\u201d). An identifiable person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. <\/p>\n

b) Registered person<\/strong><\/p>\n

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.<\/p>\n

c) Processing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Processing refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, reading, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction<\/p>\n

d) Limited processing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data for the purpose of limiting its processing in the future<\/p>\n

e) Profiling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal characteristics of a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict that natural person\u2019s work performance, financial situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements<\/p>\n

f) Pseudonymization<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person<\/p>\n

g) Data controller<\/strong><\/p>\n

A data controller is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of the processing are determined by Union law or the national law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for designating the controller may be provided for in Union law or the national law of the Member States. <\/p>\n

h) Data processor<\/strong><\/p>\n

A data processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller<\/p>\n

i) Recipient<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that receive personal data in the course of a specific task carried out in accordance with Union law or the national law of the Member States shall not be considered recipients. <\/p>\n

j) Third party<\/strong><\/p>\n

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data is disclosed and which is not the data subject, the data controller, the data processor, or the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the data controller or data processor. Subsidiaries of companies within the Uvex Group are not considered third parties. <\/p>\n

k) Consent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consent means any form of voluntary, specific, informed, and unambiguous agreement by which the data subject, either through a statement or an unambiguous affirmative action, accepts the processing of their personal data.<\/p>\n

4. Cookies
The Uvex Group's websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via a web browser. <\/p>\n

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for a cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific browser in which it is stored. This enables websites and servers that users visit to distinguish the user\u2019s specific browser from other browsers that contain different cookies. A particular browser can be recognized and identified by its unique cookie ID. <\/p>\n

By using cookies, the Uvex Group is able to offer users of this Website more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.<\/p>\n

Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website according to user preferences. As mentioned earlier, cookies enable us to recognize users on our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate our website. For example, visitors to a website that uses cookies do not need to enter their login credentials every time they visit the site, as this is handled by the website and the cookie file stored on the user\u2019s computer. Cookie files used for shopping carts in online stores are another example. The items the customer has added to the virtual shopping cart are stored using a cookie file. <\/p>\n

The data subject may at any time opt out of and prevent the use of cookies on our website by adjusting the settings of the browser being used. In addition, cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time via the browser or other software. This is possible in all common browsers. If the data subject disables the use of cookies in their browser, it is possible that not all features of our website will be fully functional. <\/p>\n

5. Collection of General Data and Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Uvex Group\u2019s websites collect a range of general data and information in connection with every visit to the Website made by a Registered User or an automated system. Such general data and information are stored in the server\u2019s log files. The information recorded may include (1) the types and versions of web browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing device, (3) the website from which an access device reaches our website (known as the referrer), (4) subpages accessed via an access device on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) the IP address, (7) the access device\u2019s internet service provider, and (8) other similar data and information. <\/p>\n

When using general data and public information, the Uvex Group does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. The information is also used to (1) deliver the content on our website correctly, (2) optimize and advertise the content on our website, (3) ensure that our IT systems and the technology on our website function properly, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with necessary information in the event of a cyberattack. This data, which is collected anonymously, is therefore evaluated statistically and further analyzed by the Uvex Group with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security within our company, thereby ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a Data Subject. <\/p>\n

6. Registration on our website<\/strong><\/p>\n

The data subject has the option to register on the data controller\u2019s website by providing personal data. The specific personal data to be submitted to the data controller is determined by the respective input form used for registration. Personal data provided by the data subject is collected and stored by the data controller solely for internal use and for its own purposes. The data controller may transfer the personal data to one or more data processors, such as a parcel delivery service, which also use the personal data solely for internal purposes attributable to the data controller. <\/p>\n

When registering on the data controller\u2019s website, the IP address assigned to the registered user by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services, and this data makes it possible, if necessary, to investigate crimes that have been committed. In this regard, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data is not normally disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or it is necessary for law enforcement purposes. <\/p>\n

The registration of a Registered User who voluntarily provides personal data is intended to enable the data controller to offer the Registered User content or services that, by their very nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered Users are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller\u2019s database. <\/p>\n

The data controller shall, upon request, provide data subjects with information at any time regarding which personal data about the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the data controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with statutory retention requirements. A data protection officer named in this privacy policy and the entire staff of the data controller are available as contact persons for the data subject in this regard. <\/p>\n

7. Subscribe to our newsletter<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the Uvex Group\u2019s website, users can sign up for our company\u2019s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the respective input form used for this purpose. <\/p>\n

The Uvex Group periodically informs its customers and business partners about company offers through a newsletter. Our company\u2019s newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject subscribes to the newsletter. For legal reasons and as part of the double opt-in procedure, a confirmation email is sent the first time\u2014before the newsletter is sent\u2014to the email address provided by the registered user. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address, in their capacity as a registered user, is authorized to receive the newsletter. <\/p>\n

When you sign up for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the time and date of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to obtain information about any potential misuse of the subscriber\u2019s email address at a later date and therefore serves as legal protection for the data controller. <\/p>\n

The personal data collected in connection with newsletter registration is used solely for the purpose of sending the newsletter. In addition, newsletter subscribers may be contacted by email to the extent necessary for the newsletter service or for the registration for the newsletter in question. This may be necessary in the event of changes to the newsletter service or due to technical circumstances. No data collected in connection with the newsletter service will be disclosed to third parties. The data subject may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has provided for the distribution of the newsletter may be revoked at any time. Each newsletter contains a link through which consent can be withdrawn. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time on the data controller\u2019s website or to notify the data controller of this in another manner. <\/p>\n

8. Tracking in newsletters<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Uvex Group\u2019s newsletter contains so-called pixel tags. A pixel tag is a miniature image embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This makes it possible to conduct statistical evaluations of whether online marketing campaigns are successful or unsuccessful. Using embedded pixel tags, the Uvex Group can determine if and when an email was opened by a registered user and which links in the email the user clicked on. <\/p>\n

Personal data collected via the pixel tags in the newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller or its data processor to optimize the distribution of the newsletter and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the data subject\u2019s interests. Data subjects have the right to withdraw their consent at any time with regard to matters covered by the double opt-in procedure. Following a withdrawal, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by the Uvex Group as a withdrawal of consent. <\/p>\n

9. Contact options via the website<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to legal requirements, the Uvex Group\u2019s websites contain information that enables quick electronic contact and immediate communication with us, as well as direct communication with us, including a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject is automatically stored. Personal data that a data subject voluntarily provides to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing the request or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. <\/p>\n

10. Comment feature on the website's blog<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Uvex Group allows users to post individual comments on blog posts on a blog hosted on the data controller\u2019s website. A blog is a web-based, typically publicly accessible platform where one or more individuals, known as bloggers, can publish articles or thoughts in what are called blog posts. As a rule, blog posts can be commented on by other people. <\/p>\n

If a registered user leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comment itself, information regarding the time the comment was posted and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the registered user will also be stored and published. In addition, the IP address assigned to the registered user by their internet service provider is logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the registered user infringes the rights of third parties or posts illegal content in a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the data controller\u2019s own interest, so that the data controller can clear its name in the event of a potential violation. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or is necessary for the data controller\u2019s legal defense. <\/p>\n

11. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data<\/strong>
The data controller shall process and store the data subject\u2019s personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or for as long as permitted under European directives and laws or other legislation or regulations to which the data controller is subject.<\/p>\n

If the purpose of the storage is no longer applicable, or if a retention period prescribed by European directives and laws expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.<\/p>\n

12. Rights of Registered Individuals<\/strong><\/p>\n

a) Right to Confirmation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under European directives and laws, a data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning the data subject is being processed. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to rectification, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the data controller at any time. <\/p>\n

b) Right of Access<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under European directives and laws, a person whose personal data is being processed has the right to access, at any time and free of charge, the personal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this information. In addition, European directives and laws grant the data subject the right to access the following information: <\/p>\n
