PERSONAL DATA AND DATA PROCESSING

‘Personal data’ refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’). By way of example, this includes names, email addresses, IP addresses or telephone numbers. Conversely, information that cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person is not considered personal data, such as the number of visitors to a website.

‘Processing’ refers to any operation or set of operations carried out on personal data, whether by automated means or not, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Job applications

You can submit your job applications to us electronically via email. Within our organisation, only authorised staff who need to be involved in the recruitment process have access to applicants’ data; this includes staff in the Human Resources department, the relevant managers of the specialist divisions or the works council, and managers at our head office (ARI-Armaturen Albert Richter GmbH & Co. KG, Mergelheide 56–60, 33758 Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany). Your personal data will not be passed on to other individuals or third parties without your express consent.

Data protection cannot be fully guaranteed when using unencrypted email. We recommend that you at least encrypt any email attachments. You are free to use alternative methods of sending information, such as by post.

Server Log Files

When you access our web pages, general information is collected automatically (known as server log files), namely:

Browser type and version
Operating system
Referrer URL
Hostname and IP address
Time of the visit and web pages visited

This information cannot be traced back to an identified individual and will not be merged with other sources of information. We reserve the right to review the Server Log Files retrospectively where there are indications of unlawful use or where we are required to do so by a judicial authority.

FEATURES OF OUR WEBSITE

SSL encryption

SSL encryption ensures data security online by verifying the identity of servers and browsers. You can recognise SSL encryption by the change in the domain prefix from ‘http’ to ‘https’. SSL encryption significantly enhances data security.

Contact forms and RSS feeds

You can contact us by email or via our contact forms for any enquiries, including enquiries regarding the ‘ARI-myValve’ design programme, as well as our customer account form. In such cases, the information you provide is stored to facilitate communication with you. This information will not be passed on to third parties.

You can subscribe to and follow RSS feeds. To this end, the RSS feed data is stored in your browser. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Newsletter and Newsletter Tracking

You can subscribe to our newsletter to receive regular customer information. We will send a confirmation email to verify your email address. You can also request up-to-date information regarding our ‘ARI-myValve’ construction programme. You have the right to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Unsubscribing does not affect the processing of your data prior to unsubscribing.

Our newsletter contains a ‘tracking pixel’, also known as a ‘counting pixel’. This technology, using server log files (see above), provides us with information to analyse and optimise the respective newsletter campaigns.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA; hereinafter ‘Google’). Through the use of cookies, user behaviour is analysed with the aim of optimising the website (i.e. the number of page views, average time spent on the site, referring URL, number of clicks, etc.) using the ‘counting pixel’. Data relating to the use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the United States, where it is stored. Due to IP anonymisation on our website, Google will truncate your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the EEA Agreement. This truncation means that the IP address can no longer be used to identify you personally. The transmission of full IP addresses to a Google server in the United States and their truncation will only take place in exceptional cases. On behalf of the data controller, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to the website and the internet to the website operator. It is understood that the IP address sent by your browser to Google Analytics cannot be merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies in future by selecting the relevant settings in your browser, as well as delete cookies that have already been set; however, please note that in such cases, the full functionality of our website may not be available. You can also prevent the collection of data via cookies relating to your use of the website and the processing of such data by Google by downloading an add-on (browser extension) via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Google Maps

To make it easier to find our website, we have incorporated a map extract into it. This is achieved using an extension of the ‘Google Maps’ online mapping service (for further information regarding Google, see above). When you access a web page containing Google Maps components, Google has access to your personal data (such as your IP address). It is understood that this personal data will not be merged with data from other Google services. The transfer of data to third parties via Google cannot be ruled out. To prevent Google Maps from running, disable the ‘JavaScript’ scripting language in your browser settings. Please note that map services cannot be used on ARI websites. You can also consult Google’s privacy policy and Terms of Service: https://www.google.com/intl/es_es/help/terms_maps.html

YouTube

YouTube is a video portal operated by the US company YouTube, LLC (901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA; a subsidiary of Google (see above), hereinafter ‘YouTube’). When using YouTube, you can upload, search for, rewatch and comment on videos. To better present our products and company, we have embedded YouTube videos on our website. Whenever a page on our website contains a YouTube video, the video’s content is automatically retrieved. As a result, YouTube receives information about your visit to the website and other data (namely, your IP address), regardless of whether you actually clicked on or watched a video. This collected data is linked to your registered YouTube user account and processed accordingly. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our website. See also:

DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA

The provision of your personal data forms the basis for automatic deletion. Personal data is stored only for as long as is necessary for the purposes of the relevant processing.
