INFORMATION ON DATA PROTECTION

1) Information on the collection of personal data and contact details of the responsible person

1.1 In the following, we inform you about the handling of your personal data. In this context, personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified.

Please check carefully which personal data you share with us via Facebook. As long as you are logged into your Facebook account and visit our Facebook profile, Facebook can assign this to your Facebook profile. We expressly point out that Facebook stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.) and may also use this data for business purposes. For more information on Facebook’s data processing, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy at https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

We have no influence on the data collection and further processing by Facebook. Furthermore, it is not apparent to us to what extent, where and for how long the data is stored by Facebook, to what extent Facebook complies with existing deletion obligations, what evaluations and links are made with the data by Facebook and to whom the data is passed on by Facebook. If you would like to avoid Facebook processing personal data that you have transmitted to us, please contact us by other means. Our full contact details can be found in our imprint on Facebook.

1.2 The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Testo Sensor GmbH, Testo-Str. 1, 79853 Lenzkirch, Germany, Tel.: +49 7653 96597 0, Fax: +49 7653 96597 99, E-Mail: info@testo-sensor.de, insofar as we exclusively process the data transmitted to us by you via Facebook ourselves.

Insofar as the data you provide to us via Facebook is also or exclusively processed by Facebook (Insights data), Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland, is also the data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this respect, the data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement between jointly responsible parties pursuant to Art. 26 DSGVO, which you can view here:

Furthermore, for the use of certain Facebook products, such as the so-called “Facebook Business Tools”, and for data processing carried out as a result thereof, a supplementary agreement between us and Facebook Ireland Ltd. as joint controller pursuant to Art. 26 DSGVO applies, which can be viewed here:

3) Data processing when contacting us

We ourselves collect personal data when you contact us via contact form or messenger, for example. You can see which data we collect when you contact us via the contact form from the relevant contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO. Your data will be deleted once we have completed processing your enquiry, provided there are no legal obligations to retain data. We assume that processing is complete if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

4) Data processing for statistical and marketing purposes

4.1 Page Insights

Facebook provides us with so-called Page Insights for our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights. These are aggregated data that allow us to understand how people interact with our site. Page insights may be based on personal data collected in connection with a visit to or interaction with our site and its content. Pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, this serves to protect our legitimate interests in an optimised presentation of our offer and effective communication with customers and interested parties, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests.

You can object to the processing of your data for the aforementioned purposes at any time by changing your settings for advertisements accordingly in your Facebook user account at https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

4.2 Facebook Lead Ads

We use the “Lead Ads” function of Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) to collect and process certain personal data of interested parties – so-called leads – via a contact form displayed on Facebook websites (so-called “Instant Form”). The content and scope of the data requested in this form depends on the focus of the respective lead campaign.

The processing of the data is strictly bound to the purposes pursued with the respective lead ad campaign. These purposes are clearly stated in the lead ad or on the form provided before the data provided is transmitted. Depending on the orientation of the Lead Ad campaign, the legal basis for the data processing is either your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO (e.g. for direct advertising measures such as registration for e-mail newsletter dispatch) or our legitimate interest in optimal marketing of our offer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The data will not be passed on to third parties.

As part of the aforementioned services, data transmitted via instant forms may be stored on servers of Facebook Inc, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

Further information on data processing via Facebook Lead Ads can be found in Facebook’s data policy at https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

5) Rights of the data subject

5.1 The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, which we inform you about below:

Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 DSGVO;
Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 DSGVO;

Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO;
Right to information pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR;

5.2 RIGHT OF OBJECTION

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE PROCESSING IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU MAY EXERCISE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

6) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is measured on the basis of the respective legal basis, the processing purpose and – if relevant – additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO, this data is stored until the data subject revokes his/her consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that is processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, insofar as it is no longer required for the fulfilment of a contract or the initiation of a contract and/or there is no further justified interest on our part in continuing to store it.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, such data shall be stored until the data subject exercises his or her right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, such data shall be stored until the data subject exercises his or her right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) DSGVO.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
