Social Media

The BENTELER Group maintains online presences in social networks in order to communicate with the respective users and offer a wide range of information.
We have no direct influence on the processing of the data and therefore expressly point out that processing is also possible outside the EU. This may result in risks for the user, e.g. because the enforcement of rights is made more difficult or the data is subject to another law. In general, however, we would like to point out that by offering services in Europe, network operators are obliged to comply with EU data protection standards.
In addition, user data within social networks is generally used for advertising and market research purposes. For example, user profiles are created which are then used to advertise specifically for the user. Cookies, small files that are stored on your device, are generally used for this purpose. However, the user profiles may also contain device-independent data, especially if you log into the corresponding network.
For detailed information on the stored data and the possibility of objection, please refer to the respective data protection declaration of the operators of the respective network.
We also point out that in the case of requests for information and the assertion of rights of data subjects, these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Should you nevertheless need help, you may also contact us.

- Processed data types: inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. text input, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

- Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).

- Purposes of processing: contact enquiries and communication, tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling, use of cookies), remarketing, range measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors).

- Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

Transfer of personal data to third parties; social plug-ins

BENTELER use social plug-ins on our websites from social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. When you visit our websites the social network plug-ins are deactivated, therefore no data is transmitted to the network. If you want to use one of the networks, you have to clock on the respective plugin to establish a connection. If you have user account on those networks and you are logged in when you visit our website, the network can associate you’re your visit with your user account. To avoid this, please log out before you visit our website.

When you activate a social plug-in, the network transfers the available content to your browser, which integrates it into our websites. In this situation, data transmissions can also take place that are initiated and controlled by the respective social network. The data transaction taking place between your system and the social network is only governed by the privacy policy of the respective network.

As long as you do not delete or deactivate cookies, the social plug-in remains active.

BENTELER itself will never transfer your personal data to third parties without your knowledge and consent.

Legal basis of data processing

Insofar as you have given us your consent for the processing of your personal data, that consent is the legal basis for the processing (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR).
In addition, we process personal data for the purposes of safeguarding our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. Maintaining the functionality of our IT systems, marketing our own products and services as well as documenting business contacts as required by law are such legitimate interests.

Data processing by third parties

The BENTELER Group involves external service providers in the data processing. BENTELER requires of these companies that the personal data accumulated in the processing is used exclusively for the intended purpose, and that adequate protection of the data is ensured in accordance with the locally applicable data protection regulations. Contracts with external providers will always fulfill the needs of Art. 28 of GDPR if there is access or processing of personal data.

Google Analytics;
Insofar as you have given your consent, Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service of Google LLC, is used on this website. The entity responsible for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Scope of processing
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by means of cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We use the User ID function. The User ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) and analyse user behaviour across devices.

With Google Analytics 4, IP addresses are anonymised by default. IP anonymisation means that Google truncates your IP address within European Union member states or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
During your visit to the website, your user behaviour is recorded in the form of "events". Events can be:

Page requests
First visit to the website
Start of session
Your "click path", Interaction with the website
Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the end of the page (90%))
Clicks on external links
Internal search requests
Interaction with videos
File downloads
Adverts seen/clicked on
Language setting

The following is also recorded:

Your approximate location (region)
Your IP address (in shortened form)
Technical information on your browser and your devices (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)

The possibility that US authorities may access data stored by Google cannot be excluded.

Third-country transfer
If data is processed outside the EU/EEA and the level of data protection is not in accordance with the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider in order to establish an appropriate level of data protection. Google Ireland's parent company, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. Transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently regarded as a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights in that country as you do within the EU/EEA. You may not have any legal remedies against access by authorities.

If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time for future use. The legality of processing before revocation remains unaffected. We may further process such data pursuant to another applicable legal basis, e.g. for the fulfilment of our legal obligations.
