We would like to inform you of your rights as a data subject. These rights are set forth in Articles 15–22 of the GDPR. They include:

• The right of access (Article 15 of the GDPR)
• The right to erasure (Art. 17 of the GDPR)
• The right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• The right to data portability (Article 20 of the GDPR)
• The right to restriction of processing (Article 18 of the GDPR)
• The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

To exercise these rights, please contact: dataprivacy.DE(at)leadec-services.com. The same applies if you have questions about data processing at our company. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Please note the following regarding your right to object: If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without providing a reason. This would also apply in the case of profiling, to the extent that it is related to direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. The objection is free of charge and may be submitted in any form, preferably to: dataprivacy.DE(at)leadec-services.com. 

In the event that we process your data to safeguard legitimate interests, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions.

We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing your personal data, we comply with the provisions of the GDPR, the BDSG, and all other applicable data protection regulations. The legal basis for data processing is derived in particular from Article 6 of the GDPR. 

As an industrial services specialist, we use your data to initiate business relationships, fulfill contractual and legal obligations, execute the contractual relationship, offer products and services, and strengthen customer relationships, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct marketing.

Your consent to data processing may also constitute a legal basis for data protection purposes. In such cases, we will inform you in advance about the purposes of the data processing and your right to withdraw consent. If the consent also relates to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will expressly point this out to you in the consent form. 

Processing of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the GDPR takes place only if it is required by law and there is no reason to believe that your legitimate interest in excluding such processing outweighs this requirement. Data processing based on legitimate interests with regard to special categories of personal data is not currently taking place.

Various types of personal data may be necessary for the establishment, performance, and termination of the contractual relationship and/or the fulfillment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.

In certain cases, data must also be collected or provided due to legal requirements. Please note that, for example, processing your inquiry or fulfilling the underlying contractual relationship is not possible without the provision of this data.

We currently do not use purely automated processing procedures to make decisions.

As part of our business activities and to support our internal processes, we may use systems based on artificial intelligence methods or containing AI functionalities. This may serve, in particular, to efficiently process inquiries, assist in the creation, analysis, structuring, or quality assurance of content, and improve our services.

To the extent that personal data is processed in this context, it is done exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR. Processing takes place only to the extent that there is an appropriate legal basis for doing so, in particular to fulfill contractual or pre-contractual obligations, to comply with legal obligations, based on your consent, or based on our legitimate interests. In doing so, we adhere in particular to the principles of purpose limitation, data minimization, confidentiality, and integrity.

We do not use AI systems to subject you exclusively to automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless we expressly indicate this separately and a necessary legal basis exists for doing so.

If you interact directly with an AI system or are provided with content that has been generated or modified entirely or substantially with the aid of AI, we will inform you of this in an appropriate manner, to the extent required by law. This applies in particular to transparency obligations under the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation.

Personal data will only be disclosed to external providers of AI systems to the extent necessary for the respective purpose and provided that the data protection requirements are met. To the extent that service providers process personal data on our behalf, we enter into appropriate data processing agreements. Data will only be transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area if the legal requirements for such transfers are met.

The specific context determines which data we process: This depends on whether, for example, you submit a general inquiry via our contact form or make an inquiry regarding our services. Please note that we may also provide information regarding specific processing situations separately in the appropriate section, as needed. 

When you visit our website, we may process the following data:

• Name of the Internet service provider
• Information about the website from which you are visiting us
• Web browser and operating system used
• The IP address assigned by your Internet service provider
• Requested files, amount of data transferred, downloads/file exports
• Information about the web pages you access on our site, including date and time.

For technical security reasons (in particular to defend against attempted attacks), this data is stored in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. After no later than seven days, the data is anonymized by truncating the IP address so that no connection to the user can be established. Please also note the separate information below regarding the use of web tracking tools.

In connection with advertising activities, we may process the following data: 

Address and contact information, depending on the campaign or communication channel (mail, email, etc.). Please refer to the separate information below regarding advertising.

 When you submit a contact request, we may process the following data: 

Depending on the type of contact form, we collect and process, for example, your name, contact information (e.g., email address), and details regarding your requests and interests. Please refer to the separate information regarding contact requests.

Web-to-Lead Contact Form (Art. 6(1)(a), (b) GDPR):

On our website, you will find our Web-to-Lead contact form, which can be used to contact us electronically. When you write to us via the contact form, we process the data you provide in the contact form to get in touch with you and respond to your questions and requests. In order to answer your questions more specifically, we require additional information about you and your inquiry: 

• Personal information (title, first name, last name) for the purpose of addressing you personally
• Location (country, city/region) is required to route your inquiry to the appropriate regional sales units so that a contact person near you can get in touch with you regarding your inquiry
• Business information (company, position, department) is used to determine which company the inquiry is coming from and the specific professional context, so that we can also take industry-specific aspects into account when responding
• Contact Information (Email, Phone) is used to contact you; depending on the complexity of the inquiry, we may need to contact you by phone
• Interest/Inquiry (interest in; message), so that you can share your request with us.

In addition, your IP address is processed for technical reasons and to ensure legal compliance. All other data fields are optional and may be provided at your discretion (e.g., to receive a more personalized response to your questions). 

If you contact us via this contact form, we will first ask for your consent as part of the double opt-in process to store your data for an extended period for the purpose of processing your inquiries. 

To protect the security and confidentiality of your data as effectively as possible, we implement appropriate security measures. Your inquiry is transmitted to us in encrypted form.

If you withdraw your consent, we will, of course, anonymize your personal data immediately. If we have not been in contact with you for an extended period, your data will be anonymized after 500 days.

If you decide to participate in an online seminar:

• First name, Last name

When you register for our online seminars, you will be sent a link that you must follow to participate. Our online seminars are hosted by a partner who may also apply its own privacy policy. This privacy policy can be viewed on the online seminar portal itself. We have entered into the necessary data protection agreements with our partner to ensure compliance with the GDPR. When you register for an online seminar, you can also sign up for our newsletter. We would like to refer you to the relevant section of our privacy policy regarding this matter.

Regarding white paper marketing:

On our website, we offer the opportunity to access services such as white papers. We provide these services directly through our website as well as through our company profile on LinkedIn. As part of such a white paper campaign, we may process the following data: name, email address. If you submit a request via our website, we collect the data directly from you; if you submit a request via LinkedIn, we receive the data through LinkedIn. For information regarding LinkedIn, please see the section titled “Information on Data Protection in Social Media.”  

Within our company, we ensure that only those individuals who need your data to fulfill contractual and legal obligations receive it. Data transfers within the corporate group comply with applicable laws, which also applies to international data transfers.

In addition, our departments are supported by external service providers in carrying out their tasks. We have entered into the necessary data protection agreements with all service providers who process personal data (customer, prospect, employee, or applicant data) on our behalf.

Data transfers to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) take place only to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill the contractual relationship, is required by law, or you have given us your consent to do so. 

Personal data is transferred both to external service providers and to group companies or affiliated companies within the corporate group, some of which are located outside the European Economic Area, e.g., in the U.S., Brazil, India, or China. You can find an overview of Leadec’s locations on our website.

Compliance with data protection standards is primarily ensured through appropriate contractual arrangements under data protection law, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses. 

We will only disclose your data to third parties in accordance with legal provisions or with your consent. Otherwise, data will not be disclosed to third parties unless we are required to do so by mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).

We store your data for as long as it is needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data continue to be stored. This applies in particular to retention obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g., the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, etc.).

Unless further retention obligations apply, the data is routinely deleted once the purpose has been fulfilled. Otherwise, further retention occurs only in specific cases, such as when you have given us your consent or when information is required as evidence in the context of a legal dispute. Please also note the statutory limitation periods, which can be up to thirty years; the standard limitation period is three years.

To provide the best possible protection for the data we store against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures. Security levels are continuously reviewed in collaboration with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

Data exchanged to and from our website is always encrypted. We use HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, employing the relevant encryption protocols. In addition, we offer our users encrypted transmission when using contact forms and submitting job applications. There is also the option to use alternative communication channels (e.g., mail).

Leadec is interested in maintaining our customer relationship with you and providing you with information and offers regarding our products, services, promotions, events, and company news. Therefore, we process your data to send you relevant information and offers, to the extent permitted by law.

If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes; this would also apply to profiling, to the extent that it is related to direct marketing. If you object, we will no longer process your data for this purpose. 

You may object free of charge and without providing a reason, and the objection should preferably be sent by email to dataprivacy.DE(at)leadec-services.com or by mail to Leadec Holding BV & Co. KG, Meitnerstraße 11, 70563 Stuttgart.

Our website features a contact form that can be used to contact us electronically. When you write to us via the contact form, we process the data you provide in the contact form to contact you and respond to your questions and requests.

In doing so, we adhere to the principle of data minimization, as you are only required to provide the data that we absolutely need from you to contact you. This includes your name, your email address, and the message field itself.

In addition, your IP address is processed for technical reasons and to ensure legal compliance. All other data fields are optional and may be filled out at your discretion (e.g., to receive a more personalized response to your questions).

If you contact us via email, we will process the personal data provided in the email solely for the purpose of and for the duration of handling your inquiry. If you do not use the contact forms provided, no further data will be collected.

The email address provided during registration, as well as your first and last name, will be used to send you the personalized newsletter. 

We adhere to the principle of data minimization here, as only the email address and your first and last name are marked as required fields. 

We always use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending newsletters via email. This means you will only receive the newsletter regularly if you have previously expressly confirmed that you want us to activate the newsletter service.

Our website also contains—clearly identifiable—links to the websites of other companies. Where links to websites operated by third parties are provided, we have no influence over their content. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability or guarantee for this content. The respective provider or operator of the linked sites is always responsible for their content. 

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations and recognizable infringements at the time the links were created. No illegal content was identifiable at the time the links were created.

Should any legal violations become known, such links will be removed immediately.

Our website uses so-called cookies. They serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by and stored (locally) by your browser. Cookies contain only pseudonymous, and in most cases even anonymous, data. Some cookies remain active for the duration of a browser session (so-called session cookies), while others are stored for a longer period (so-called persistent cookies, e.g., consent settings). The latter are automatically deleted after the specified time has elapsed. In addition to our own cookies, we also use cookies controlled by third-party providers. These providers use the information contained in the cookies, for example, to display content to you or to track the pages you visit.

Based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), we use technically necessary cookies that are essential for the operation of the website and ensuring its functionality.

Google Analytics

Based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, by enabling IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Please note that, for this purpose, Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code “gat._anonymizeIp” to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obligates Google to protect the data of our website visitors and not to disclose it to third parties. This service may transfer the collected data to another country. Please note that this service may transfer data outside the European Union and the European Economic Area to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection. If data is transferred to the U.S. under the , there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for monitoring and surveillance purposes, without you necessarily having any legal recourse. However, we take the measures that are possible and required under data protection law in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country. Your consent to the use of Google Analytics therefore also constitutes consent under Art. 49(1), sentence 1, lit. a of the GDPR to the transfer of personal data to a third country outside the EU/EEA. In particular, Google LLC has obtained certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for data transfers from the EU, which certifies that Google maintains an adequate level of data protection from the EU’s perspective. 

We also use Google Analytics to evaluate data from Google Ads Conversion and Google Ad Manager (see also Google Ads Conversion and Google Ad Manager below) as well as data from Google’s advertising features for purely statistical purposes. If you do not wish this to occur, you can disable it via the Ads Preferences Manager (https://www.google.de/settings/ads or https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).

This website uses the online advertising program Google Ads provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as conversion tracking. The basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent; the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. These ads are delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers.” Cookies are small text files that the web browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. 

For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google’s Privacy Policy:www.google.de/policies/privacy/ .

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser.

The information stored in the cookie may be recorded, collected, and analyzed by Google Inc. or third parties.

In addition, Google Ad Manager may also use so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) to collect information. Their use allows, for example, visitor traffic on the website to be tracked and analyzed.

This data is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect via the cookie settings.

The cookies set by HubSpot are stored, depending on the cookie, for the duration of the session, 30 minutes, or up to 180 days. Any personal data stored beyond this period will be deleted or anonymized as soon as it is no longer necessary for the stated purposes or you revoke your consent, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

Personal data may be transferred to the United States. This transfer is safeguarded by appropriate safeguards, in particular the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

We embed videos from the “YouTube” platform, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, into our online offering. The videos are embedded in enhanced privacy mode.

Embedding the video in enhanced privacy mode prevents the setting of cookies that require consent and track user behavior to personalize video playback. However, enhanced privacy mode applies only to the tracking of user behavior; it does not apply to the display of advertisements or the reloading of additional third-party content.

To protect your data, we also use the so-called “two-click solution.” All YouTube content is disabled by default. A direct connection to YouTube’s servers is established only when you actively enable YouTube yourself. With this click, you consent to, for example, your IP address, referrer information (i.e., the website from which you came to us), and browser data being transmitted to YouTube, and to cookies being set in your browser. This data is then typically transmitted to a server in the United States and stored there.

You have the option to re-grant your consent at any time, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, for viewing individual videos.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy. There you will also find further information about your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

On our website, you will find links to the social media services of LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram, and YouTube. The subdomains www.hungary.leadec-services.com and www.spain.leadec-services.com do not contain any links to Xing. Accordingly, no data is transferred to Xing on these subdomains. You can recognize links to the websites of these social media services by the respective company logo. If you follow these links, you will be directed to the Leadec Holding BV & Co. KG profile on the respective social media service. When you click on a link to a social media service, a connection is established with the servers of that social media service. This notifies the social media service’s servers that you have visited our website. In addition, other data is transmitted to the provider of the social media service. This includes, for example: 

• The URL of the webpage on which the link was clicked
• Date and time of the website visit or when the link was activated
• Information about the browser and operating system used
• IP address

If you are already logged in to the relevant social media service when you click the link, the social media service provider may be able to determine your username and, in some cases, even your real name from the transmitted data and associate this information with your personal user account on the social media service. You can prevent this association with your personal user account by logging out of your user account beforehand. 

The servers of the social media services are located in the United States and other countries outside the European Union. The data may therefore also be processed by the social media service provider in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that generally do not protect personal data to the same extent as those in the member states of the European Union. 

Please note that we have no influence over the scope, nature, or purpose of data processing by the social media service provider. For more information on how your data is used by the social media services integrated into our website, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media service.

Leadec Holding BV & Co. KG maintains various social media accounts—specifically on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Xing and  YouTube to communicate with customers, prospective customers, and users registered on these platforms and to inform them about our offerings. To the extent that we have control over the processing of your data, we ensure compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

Below you will find the most important information regarding data protection law as it applies to our online presence. 

Name and address of the entity responsible for operations

In addition to Leadec Holding BV & Co. KG, the following entity is responsible for the company’s online presence within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other data protection regulations:

• Facebook (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland)
• Instagram (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland)
• LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland)
• Xing (New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany)
• YouTube (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) 

Please note that your use of these platforms and the features they provide is your own responsibility. This applies in particular to your specific usage behavior on our site. This applies specifically to the use of interactive features (e.g., commenting, sharing, rating). 

We also wish to inform you that your data may be processed outside the European Union in this context.

Purpose and legal basis

We maintain the fan pages ourselves in order to communicate with visitors to these pages and thereby inform them about our offerings.

Furthermore, we collect data for statistical purposes to further develop and optimize content and make our offerings more attractive. The data required for this (e.g., total number of page views, page activities, data provided by visitors, and interactions) is processed by the social networks and made available to us. We have no influence over how this data is generated or presented.

In addition, your data may be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles may be created based on your usage behavior and the resulting interests. This allows, for example, advertisements to be displayed both within and outside the platforms that are presumed to match your interests. Cookies are typically stored on your computer for this purpose. Regardless of this, usage profiles may also store data that is not collected directly from your devices (in particular, but not exclusively, if you are a member of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

Beyond that, we do not collect or process any personal data resulting from your use of our service.

The processing of users’ personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective information and communication pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If you are asked to consent to data processing (i.e., to give your consent, for example, by selecting a checkbox or clicking a confirmation button), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

Your rights / right to object 

If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our website and link it to your stored member data on the respective network, you must

• Log out of the respective network before visiting our website
• Delete the cookies stored on your device, and

However, once you log in again, the network will once more be able to identify you as a specific user.
