Putzmeister Holding GmbH

Insofar as other companies of the Putzmeister Group ("Putzmeister Companies") are Controllers regarding data processing for individual services, we will point this out to you separately at the appropriate place in this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement also applies to these Putzmeister Companies, insofar as they are data Controllers for services in accordance with this Privacy Statement.  

Where the terms "we", "us" and "our" are used hereinafter, this refers to all Putzmeister Companies that are data Controllers within the scope of the Services and the Website, including Putzmeister. 
An overview of the Putzmeister Companies belonging to the "Putzmeister Group" can be found here https://www.putzmeister.com/web/european-union/subsidiaries

2.    Principles of data processing and storage period 

2.1.    Legal basis for the processing of personal data 

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, point (a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Any consent can be withdrawn by you with effect for the future.

When processing personal data that is required for the performance of a contract with you or your Company, point (b) of Article 6 (1) GDPR is the corresponding legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that already become relevant pre-contractually.

Insofar as processing of your personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of one of our legal obligations, point (c) of Article 6 (1) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override our legitimate interest, point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Supplementary information on specific data processing via the Putzmeister Website can be found in the following sections of the Privacy Statement. 

2.2.    Data storage and erasure 

In principal personal data is only stored by us as long as the specific purpose as required by the purpose for which personal data is stored. If the purpose of storage ceases to apply, your data will be erased or the processing of data will be restricted.

In addition, it may be that European regulations, applicable national laws or other regulations require a longer storage of the data processed by us. If these storage periods expire, we will erase your data or restrict the processing thereof.

2.3.    Recipients of data

We will generally only disclose your personal data to service providers, business partners and other third parties in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and inform you of the disclosure in accordance with legal requirements.

We may disclose personal data to service providers and require them to perform services on our behalf (processing according to Article 28 GDPR). In this context, we comply with the strict applicable national and European data protection regulations. The service providers are subject to our instructions and are subject to strict contractual restrictions regarding the processing of personal data. Accordingly, processing is only permitted to the extent necessary to perform the services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. It is specified by us in advance which rights and obligations the service providers have regarding personal data.

We may disclose personal data to other third parties when required by law or legal proceedings, or to provide the services we offer on the Putzmeister Website. In addition, we may be required to provide information to a prosecutor or other public authority. If a transfer of information is necessary for the cooperation and thus the provision of services to you or if you give your consent, we are also authorized to disclose data. 

2.3.1.    Categories of recipients

Personal data may be transferred to the following recipients or categories of recipients:

  • Internal company recipients (e.g. for processing within the responsible departments for the specific purpose)
  • Other Putzmeister Companies 
  • Cooperation partners with whom the Putzmeister Group provides its services
  • External Processors within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR
  • Companies for which we provide the services
  • Courts, authorities or other governmental institutions, insofar as legal obligations exist
  • Auditors

2.3.2.    Web hosting 

Our Putzmeister Website and thus also your data are hosted at Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, D18 P521, Ireland ("Microsoft"). Microsoft may only access the data within the scope of our instructions (processing according to Article28 GDPR). 

Microsoft implements strict technical measures to protect your personal data. Microsoft will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless the disclosure is necessary to perform the agreed services or Microsoft is required to do so in order to comply with the law or a valid and binding order of a governmental or regulatory authority. The data transferred for this purpose will be limited to the minimum required. 

Microsoft has also stated that Microsoft plans to introduce the "European Union Data Boundary," where Microsoft undertakes not to transfer data from the EU to third countries. More information on this measure and other protective measures can be found here: Storing and processing data only in the EU | News Center Microsoft. Your data is already hosted on servers in the European Union ("EU") or the European Economic Area ("EEA").

Despite these measures, it cannot be ruled out with absolute certainty that Microsoft may also store or transfer personal data to countries outside the EEA. However, Microsoft will undertake the necessary steps to ensure that an adequate level of data protection is maintained. For example, if Microsoft transfers your personal data to the United States, additional measures, such as entering into EU-compliant data transfer agreements with the data importer, will be taken if necessary. In addition, as a precautionary measure, we have entered into standard contractual clauses with Microsoft to also safeguard data transfers to third countries in the event that a data transfer to a third country does occur despite the measures listed above. The standard contractual clauses can be viewed in all languages by entering the search term "DPA" here: Microsoft Volume Licensing -ProductLicensing Search

For more information about Microsoft's privacy practices, please visit: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/trust-center/privacy/gdpr-overview

2.3.3.    Forwarding of your data to affiliated companies of Putzmeister 

Your data will be passed on partly to other Putzmeister Companies for the purpose of processing your enquiry and providing the services provided via the Putzmeister Website. 

The legal basis for this data processing is point (b) and point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR or the data processing agreement with the processor. To the extent that there is no contractual performance for you and no data processing agreement concluded, we have a legitimate interest in transferring the data for internal administrative purposes to the relevant Putzmeister Company and the business units responsible there. This enables the Putzmeister Group to offer you the services provided via the Putzmeister Website as efficiently as possible. 

3.    Your rights 

Insofar as we process personal data from you, you are a "data subject" within the meaning of the GDPR. As a data subject, you have the following rights against us:

3.1.    Right of access regarding the processing 

You can request information from us at any time within the scope of the statutory provisions whether personal data is being processed by us. If this is the case, you have the right to request information about the scope of data processing (cf. Article 15 GDPR). Please note that the right to access regarding the processing of data may be restricted in certain legal circumstances. 

3.2.    Right to rectification 

You have a right to obtain your data rectified and/or completed by us if the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete (cf. Article 16 GDPR).

3.3.    Right to restriction of processing 

When the prerequisites are met, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data (cf. Article 18 GDPR).

3.4.    Right to erasure 

When the prerequisites are met, you can request the erasure of the personal data concerning you without undue delay. The right to erasure does not exist, for example, insofar as the processing is necessary (cf. Article 17 GDPR).

3.5.    Right to information 

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this turns out to be impossible or requires a disproportionate effort. The Controller informs about these recipients upon your request (cf. Article 19 GDPR).

3.6.    Right to data portability 

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another company without hindrance from us, provided that the prerequisites are met (cf. Article 20 GDPR).

3.7.    Right of objection 

You have the right to object at any time, based on reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR (Article 21 (1) GDPR). The consequence of the objection is that Putzmeister or the respective Putzmeister Company responsible for data processing no longer processes the personal data relating to you, unless Putzmeister or the respective Putzmeister Company responsible for data processing can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

We ask you to direct your objection to the Putzmeister Company responsible for the data processing. We will inform you separately in the appropriate section in this Privacy Statement when the data is processed by Putzmeister Holding GmbH but by another Putzmeister Company. The contact details of all Putzmeister Companies can be found here https://www.putzmeister.com/web/european-union/subsidiaries.

3.8.    Right to withdraw given consent under data protection law

If you have given your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal. 

3.9.    Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority 

Without affecting any other administrative or judicial appeals, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes applicable data protection laws.

4.    Security standards 

We have implemented appropriate physical, technical and administrative security standards to protect personal data from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. All service providers and affiliates are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of personal data. In addition, they may not use the data for any purpose that have not been authorized to us.

Because the security of your data is important, your entire visit is handled over a secure TLS connection. If personal data is collected, the data transfer is also TLS-encrypted. The TLS encryption process protects your data from unauthorized access on its way through the internet.

5.    Amendmends of the Privacy Statement 

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time to ensure that it remains compliant with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services available through the Putzmeister Website (e.g., introduction of new services). You can determine by the first paragraph of this Privacy Statement, whether anything has changed since your last visit. 

B.    DATA PROCESSING ON THE PUTZMEISTER WEBSITE 

1.    Protocol data / log files 

Each time you access the Putzmeister Website, our system automatically collects data and information from your end device. In particular, the following data is collected:

  • the IP address of the requesting end device
  • the date and time of access
  • the website from which the requested file was accessed (referrer URL)
  • a description of the browser and the version of the browser used
  • if applicable, the installed operating system and the resolution set
  • the name of the file and the URL of the requested file
  • a description of the access provider you use
  • the duration of your visit
  • the amount of data transferred
  • the access status (i.e. whether the file was transferred or possibly not found, etc.)

The aforementioned data are stored in the log files of our system. In general, this data is not stored together with other personal data. To the extent access statistics are created, your IP address is anonymized by the hoster by truncating the last bytes of the IP address. Your IP address can therefore no longer be attributed to you in the access statistics. 

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in collecting and temporarily storing the aforementioned data, because the temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to deliver the website to your end device. The temporary storage of the data also takes place in order to enable the delivery of the website. In addition, this data is used to optimize our website and to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of our information technology systems. The log files are not evaluated for marketing purposes.

The data stored in log files is usually erased after 30 days. The data is stored to ensure system security, e.g. to be able to clarify incidents of misuse, security or malfunctions. Data from log files whose further storage is necessary for evidence are generally excluded from erasure until the final clarification of the respective incident. This data may be passed on to investigating authorities in individual cases if necessary.

2.    Cookies, pixels and similar technologies 

2.1.    General information about cookies, pixels and similar technologies 

When you use our Putzmeister Website, various types of cookies are used and stored on your end device. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end devices when you visit our Putzmeister Website. Various information is provided to us by cookies. 

In addition to cookies, some services also use so-called "tracking pixels". A pixel is a 1 x 1 pixel graphic that is not visible to the average viewer, but is nevertheless present in the service. Through the pixel used, certain events can be tracked, provided that you or the program you are using downloads the graphic.

Some services use "device and browser fingerprinting". Device and browser fingerprinting attempts to identify website visitors based on specific settings of the particular browser or the device used to access the website. Fingerprinting performed in this manner may include, for example, the following data:

  • the browser type and its version;
  • the operating system of the end device;
  • the language;
  • the time zone;
  • the activated plugins;
  • the installed fonts;
  • the screen resolution;
  • the CPU class;
  • the device memory;
  • and other values that can be derived from the device or browser.

Insofar as we obtain consent for the storage of this information in your terminal device, Section 25 (1) TTDSG is the relevant legal basis for this. The same also applies if information is accessed that is already stored in your terminal device.

If the sole purpose of the storage or access is to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network, the legal basis is Section 25 (2) No. 1 TTDSG.

If the storage or access is absolutely necessary so that we can provide a service that you have expressly requested, Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG is the relevant legal basis.

In the following, we will inform you about the relevant legal basis in the specific case. For the subsequent processing of personal data, we base the processing on one of the legal bases of the GDPR specified above.

We use the types of cookies listed subsequenty on our Putzmeister Website. 

Technically necessary cookies

For the proper operation and functioning of our Putzmeister Website and the proper display of content, certain cookies are technically necessary. These "technical necessary cookies" cannot be deselected, because without them our website cannot be provided.

Content from third parties

In order to expand and optimize the functionality of our services and to make the use more comfortable for you, we integrate content from third parties, such as maps and videos. The providers of this content use cookies and similar technologies. You do not have to accept these cookies and similar technologies used for this purpose, but then you will also not be able to use the enhanced functions provided by the embedded content on the website. You can also make a corresponding setting in your browser cookie settings. However, this could limit the functionality of our services.  

Statistics cookies

We use cookies to statistically record the use of our website, for example, to measure the reach and attractiveness of our offer. You do not have to choose these cookies.

2.2.    Objection / Withdrawal 

Cookies are stored on your end device. You can decide at any time to delete the cookies from your end device. Through the settings in your browser, you can determine whether the transmission of cookies from your end device to us should be disabled, limited or the cookies should even be deleted completely. If you deactivate all cookies for our website, it may no longer be possible to fully use all functions of the website.

In addition, you have the option to adjust your cookie settings directly on our website. If you have given your consent to cookies and other technologies, you can withdraw your consent at any time via our Consent Management Platform by removing the corresponding check mark and clicking on the "Save" button:

Change Consent

2.3.    Google Maps API 

On the website we offer you the possibility to search for the Dealer of our products, which is located closest to your immediate location. To show you suitable Dealers, we use the service Google Maps API. 

The data transfer to Google takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. 

Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the provision of customer-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the Google network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google directly to exercise this right.

Our cooperation with Google is based on a joint responsibility agreement pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. The agreement can be found at the following link: https://business.safety.google/intl/en/controllerterms/

Google Maps also integrates the external fonts of the "Google Fonts" service. When you call up the Google Maps service, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must establish a connection to Google's servers. If your browser does not support the fonts, a standard font will be used by your terminal device. According to Google, the data transmitted by Google Fonts in connection with the page view is sent to resource-specific domains. According to Google's own statements, the data is not associated with other data that may be processed in connection with the parallel use of authenticated Google services, such as Gmail.

2.4.    YouTube videos 

Plugins from www.youtube.com are integrated on our website. We use embedded YouTube videos in extended data protection mode. YouTube describes its mode of operation as follows: "With the extended data protection mode, you can embed YouTube videos without cookies being set to analyze user behavior. This means no user activity data is collected to personalize video playback. Instead, video recommendations are based on the actual video. Videos played in enhanced privacy mode do not affect which videos are recommended to a user on YouTube.

Cookies are therefore only set by YouTube when you actively activate the playback of an embedded video. Further information on this can be found at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en

When you visit pages of our website that are provided with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the plugin is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. Through this, it is transmitted to the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of YouTube, YouTube assigns this information to your respective personal user accounts of these platforms. When using these plugins, such as clicking/starting a video or sending a comment, this information is assigned to your e.g. YouTube user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin.

2.5.    Google reCAPTCHA 

To protect the registration and login process from bot logins and other spam mechanisms via the registration form available on the website, Putzmeister uses the reCAPTCHA Enterprise service. The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing.

2.7.    Content Delivery Networks 

We use content delivery networks ("CDN") to properly provide the content of our website. The use of CDN enables us to make content from our website, in particular files, graphics or scripts, available to you more quickly for retrieval with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, a connection is established between you and the respective servers of the CDN, whereby personal data such as your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted to the provider of the CDN. Personal data transferred in this way is usually stored in server log files of the respective provider of the CDN in order to increase the delivery speed of the website.

Below we inform you about the CDN used by us.

2.7.1.    Bootstrap (CDN) 

This website loads scripts from the Bootstrap CDN. The provider of this service is Prospect One, Kròlewska 65a, Woiwodschaft Małopolskie, 30-081 Poland ("Bootstrap").
When establishing the connection with Bootstrap's servers, personal data such as your IP address and, if applicable, browser data such as your user agent may be transmitted to Bootstrap. In addition, Bootstrap may store cookies on your computer for optimization and analysis.
The use of Bootstrap is based on point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the secure and efficient provision of our website, as well as the reduction of the delivery speed of our website. 

Your data will be processed by Bootstrap only as long as it is necessary for the purpose of the data collection. The specific storage period of the personal data processed cannot be influenced by us. Bootstrap determines this. Further information on data protection can be found in Bootstrap's privacy policy: https://www.jsdelivr.com/terms/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net.

2.7.2.    Cloudflare (CDN) 

Furthermore, we use the CDN of Cloudflare Inc, 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107 ("Cloudflare").
