The protection of personal data is an important concern for us. For this reason we process your data strictly in accordance with the provisions of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable legal provisions on the protection of personal data and data security.

Below we provide you with an overview of the personal data we collect from you via our website, as well as for what purposes and in what way we use the data. In addition, we inform you about the rights you have in relation to us with regard to your personal data.

1. The data controller within the meaning of data protection law is

Carl-Zeiss-Straße 4
97076 Würzburg

3. The processing of your data

The processing of your personal data generally takes place in a member state of the European Union or in another state which is party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. A transfer of personal data to a non-EU country or access to such data from a non-EU country will only take place if the specific requirements of Art. 44 et seq. of the GDPR are fulfilled (e.g. through the agreement of standard contractual clauses or if the recipient acts on the basis of legal grounds adopted by the European Commission in accordance with Art. 45 Para. 1 GDPR (so-called adequacy decision)).

However, special features apply to the use of social media channels. We wish to point out that we are not able to trace all processing operations on the social media channels. Depending on the provider, processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media channels over which we have no influence and of which we gain no knowledge, and in particular no data from you. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media channels. These can be found under the legal basis and revocation option sections at the end of this chapter.

To the extent that we have control over the processing of your data, we ensure that the applicable data protection provisions are complied with as described.

Shared controllership in accordance with Art. 26 of the GDPR

According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media channel for the processing of your personal data. To the extent that the social media channels process personal data based on our instructions, these social media channels process your personal data as processors under our controllership. You will find the addresses of our processors under "Recipients of the data".

You use these channels and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of any interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). We would like to point out that your data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. Unfortunately, it is not currently possible for this to be performed in accordance with data protection regulations.

Please note: data transfer to the USA

We wish to point out that in its ruling of 16.07.2020 (Case C-311/18), the ECJ declared the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement on the permissible transfer of data between the EU and the USA to be inadmissible and that personal data cannot currently be transferred to the USA in a data protection-compliant manner. The reason for this is existing laws in the USA that give security authorities far-reaching powers to monitor "foreign communications". We hereby expressly draw your attention to this risk.

Scope of the processing
If you use the options for contacting us on these social media channels, we will process the data and information you provide in order to process your request, your reason for contacting us and to answer your questions. In particular, this involves your basic data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. email address, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. entries in online forms), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

The social media channels provide our company with statistical data, so-called "page insights", which give us information about user activities on our company websites.

Purpose of the processing
Via the above-mentioned portals we offer you the opportunity to obtain information about our company and our products and to contact us. For this purpose we use social media channels to ensure the broadest possible presence on the Internet.

Recipients of the data
The recipient of the data is the respective social media channel as the processor:

Instagram (Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA)

Facebook (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA)

Kununu (NEW WORK AUSTRIA, XING kununu Prescreen GmbH, Schottenring 2-6, A - 1010 Wien)

Linkedin (Linkedln Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland)

XING (New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Deutschland)

YouTube (ein Dienst der Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4 Irland)

Depending on the recipient, it cannot be ruled out that personal data may be processed in countries outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. Under certain circumstances, this may be associated with the risk of more difficult enforcement of legal rights, which represents a hazard for the individual user.

Retention period
The personal data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it or you revoke your consent to its storage. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

We have no influence on the storage period of any of your data which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, the links to which can be found at the end of this chapter).

Legal basis and revocation option
The processing of your personal data by us is based on our legitimate interests in informing you about our company and providing you with details of our products and services, as well as enabling you to communicate with us (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f of the GDPR). The analysis processes initiated by the social media channels may be based on different legal grounds, which must be stated by the operators of the social media channels (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a of the GDPR).

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibilities to object (opt-out) to the above-mentioned services, please refer to the privacy policies of:

Meta: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/?entry_point=facebook_help_center_ig_data_policy_redirect 

Kununu: privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung

LinkedIn: de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?

XING: https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung 

YouTube: policies.google.com/privacy 

As we do not have full access to your personal data, in order to exercise your rights (see section "Your rights"), you should contact the providers of the social media channels directly, as they have access to the personal data of their users and can take appropriate measures or provide information.

If you still need help, we will of course try to support you. Please contact datenschutz@steag.com.

4. Your rights

You have a right to information, which means you can ask us to disclose all the personal information we have collected and retain for a period of time (Art. 15 GDPR). In addition, you can also request rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), deletion (Art. 17 GDPR) or restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), and have a right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 of the Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG). If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you can revoke this consent at any time with regard to the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation, but the processing will cease in the future.

You can submit any revocation or other requests to our Group Data Protection Officer.

We take your enquiries and concerns very seriously and always endeavour to accommodate them.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG.
