Data Protection

The data privacy statement of Alba Industries GmbH is based on the terms used by the European body issuing directives and regulations when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our data privacy statement should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data privacy statement:

a) Personal data
Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “person concerned”). An identifiable person is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more specific characteristics that are expressions of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Person concerned
The person concerned is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the responsible party.

c) Processing
Processing is any procedure or series of procedures involving personal data, carried out with or without the help of automated methods, such as collection, capture, organisation, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, selection, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linkage, restriction, deletion or destruction.

d) Processing restriction
Processing restriction is the marking of stored personal data with a view to restricting its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling is any kind of automated processing of personal data, which consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects of the natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, place of residence or relocation.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific person concerned without further information, provided that such additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures that ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Responsible party or party responsible for processing
The responsible party or party responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body, which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are prescribed by EU law or by the law of the member states, the responsible party may, in accordance with EU law or the law of the member states, stipulate the specific criteria for its designation.

h) Assigned processor
An assigned processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the responsible party.

i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate according to EU law or the law of a member state law shall not be considered to be recipients.

j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the person concerned, responsible party, assigned processor and those authorised to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the responsible party or assigned processor.

k) Consent
Consent is any declaration or other unambiguous and informed expression of intent given voluntarily by the person concerned in the form of a declaration or any other clear, unequivocal action by the person concerned that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

The responsible party within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws in force in the member states of the European Union and other provisions dealing with data protection is the:

d) Right to deletion (right to be forgotten)
Any person concerned with the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European body issuing directives and regulations to ask the responsible party to immediately delete any personal data concerning him or her, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

• personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
• the person concerned withdraws his or her consent on which the processing was based according to Article 6 Para. 1 Letter a DS-GMO or Article 9 Para. 2 Letter A DS-GMO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• the person concerned enters an objection against processing according to Article 21 Para. 1 DS-GMO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing or the person concerned enters and objection against processing according to Article 21 Para. 2 DS-GMO.
• the personal data has been processed unlawfully.
• the deletion of personal data is necessary is required to fulfil a legal obligation under EU law or the law of the member states to which the responsible party is subject.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a person concerned wishes to have personal data stored by Alba Industries GmbH deleted, he or she can contact our data protection officer at any time.

The Alba Industries data protection officer or another employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.

If Alba Industries GmbH processes personal data for direct advertising purposes, the person concerned has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of this kind of advertising. This also applies to profiling if it is in connection with this kind of direct advertising.

The person concerned shall also be free to exercise his or her right of objection in relation to the use of information society services by means of automated procedures for which technical specifications are used, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Every person concerned with the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European body issuing directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect against him or her or significantly affects him or her in a similar manner, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the person concerned and the responsible party, or (2) is admissible under the provisions of EU law or those of the member states to which the responsible party is subject and these provisions contain appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the person concerned or (3) is made with the express consent of the person concerned.
If the decision (1) is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the person concerned and the responsible party or (2) is made with the express consent of the person concerned, the Alba Industries GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the person concerned, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the person responsible, to state his or her own position and to challenge the decision.
If the person concerned wishes to assert his or her right relating to automated decisions, he or she may contact our data protection officer at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent relating to data privacy
Every person concerned with the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European body issuing directives and regulations to withdraw consent given to process personal data at any time.
If the person concerned wishes to assert his or her right to revoke his or her consent, he or she may contact our data protection officer at any time.

The party responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This applies, in particular, if an applicant sends corresponding application documents to the party responsible for processing electronically, for example, by email or via an online form on the website. If the party responsible for processing enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment contract in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the party responsible for processing does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents shall be automatically deleted two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that deletion does not obstruct other legitimate interests of the party responsible for processing. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).

Article 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If processing personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the person concerned is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b DS-GMO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out precontractual measures, for example, in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example, to fulfil tax obligations, processing is based on Article. 6 I lit. c DS-GMO. In rare cases, processing personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the person concerned or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor was injured at our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Processing would then be based on Article 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. We are entitled to these kind of processing procedures in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It advocates the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the person concerned is a customer of the responsible party (Recital 47, Sentence 2 DS-GMO).

If processing personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GMO, it is in our legitimate interest to conduct our business activity for the good of all our employees and our shareholders.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). From time to time, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a person concerned provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the person concerned shall undertake to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him or her. The only consequence of not providing personal information is that the contract will not be able to be concluded with the person concerned. Prior to the provision of personal data by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

As a responsible company, we abstain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
