Social media buttons

No data-processing social media plugins from social networks are used on our website. Our website only contains buttons labelled with the social networks Twitter, Google+ and Facebook or their logos. The buttons are qualified links to the respective social networks. When you click on the button, you will be forwarded to the respective social network by means of a link. In addition, a link to the website you are visiting will be sent for the purpose of sharing on the social networks. Personal data of the user is not collected by the buttons or transmitted to the operators of the social networks.

Security of your personal data

JENOPTIK AG uses technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal data we collect from you against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

Initial information for website visitors

General information on data processing

1. scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. data deletion and storage period

The user's personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for the continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

  • the date, time, access status (file found, not found, etc.) and the request that your browser made to the server,
  • the amount of data transferred and the website from which you accessed the requested page and
  • the individual pages of our website that you visit
  • the product and version information of the browser used (user agent) as well as the set preferred language
  • GEO-IP data
  • the IP address of the user.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3. purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

4. duration of the storage

The personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after one month at the latest.

Storage beyond this is possible in anonymised form. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

Use of cookies

1. description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user calls up a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.

The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

  • Globally Unique Identifier (GUID)
  • Language settings;
  • Shared Secret (Alphanumeric String)
  • Boolean

2. legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

3. purpose of the data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognised even after a page change.

We need cookies for the following applications:

  • Identification of the user session in the server's memory
  • Prevention and defence against attacks (e.g. through antiforgery tokens to prevent cross-site request forgery).
  • Storage of the information that the user has taken note of the data protection information
  • Storage of the information that the user does not want to be redirected to the URL matching his country.

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

4. duration of storage, possibility of objection and elimination

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

3. purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. duration of the storage

The personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of three months at the latest.

5. possibility of objection and removal

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he or she can object to the storage of his or her personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. The user only has to inform us of this in order to revoke his declaration of consent. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

Etracker

The provider of this website uses services of etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany (www.etracker.com) to analyse usage data. We do not use cookies for web analysis by default. Insofar as we use analysis and optimisation cookies, we obtain your explicit consent separately in advance. If this is the case and you consent, cookies will be used to enable a statistical coverage analysis of this website, a measurement of the success of our online marketing measures as well as test procedures, e.g. to test and optimise different versions of our online offer or its components. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the Internet browser on the user's terminal device. etracker cookies do not contain any information that enables the identification of a user.

The data generated with etracker is processed and stored by etracker on behalf of the provider of this website exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been independently audited, certified and awarded the ePrivacyseal data protection seal of approval in this regard.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (legitimate interest) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). Our concern in terms of the DSGVO (legitimate interest) is the optimisation of our online offer and our web presence. Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymised or pseudonymised as soon as possible. No other use is made of the data, nor is it merged with other data or passed on to third parties.

You can object to the aforementioned data processing at any time. The objection has no adverse consequences.

I object to the processing of my personal data by eracker on this website.

Further information on data protection at etracker can be found here.

Initial information for videoconference participants

General notes

The video conference is conducted via Microsoft Teams. With regard to data processing by the provider, you as a participant should be aware that the other participants will see your first and last name. This also applies to all other personal data that you disclose during the chat or conversation. Activation of the web cam is optional for each participant. A recording of the video conference is not planned.

Microsoft Teams is kept on European servers by the IT service provider and their sub-service providers in accordance with the contract. However, Microsoft Teams can access the servers in Germany in the event of disruptions and malfunctions from so-called third countries, such as the USA, in order to carry out maintenance work. In insecure third countries, especially in the USA, there is no level of data protection comparable to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation. It is therefore possible that government agencies access personal data without us or you knowing about it. Effective enforcement of your rights is unlikely to be possible in the US and other third countries.

If you participate in the video conference, you thereby declare your consent to a possible transfer of data to third countries such as the USA.
You have the right to withdraw/terminate your consent to data transfer at any time by leaving the meeting. Please note that we have no information on any existing data processing by teams, for example by creating an account.

For more information on how your data is processed, please visit https://privacy.microsoft.com.

In order to participate in a video conference with us with the most data protection-friendly settings possible, we have the following recommendations for you:

  • Ensure that no unauthorised person attends the online meeting;
  • Read and familiarise yourself with the privacy notice
  • If you have any queries, contact a contact person at an early stage and ask;
  • If documents are already sent in advance: Check all documents for completeness;
  • Eliminate all sources of interference or distraction;
  • Remove all objects that convey information (e.g. (family) pictures or medicines on the desk, posters or charts on the wall, etc.);
  • Switch off computer notifications or close programmes that send notifications (e.g. Outlook);
  • If another programme is used by third parties (clients, business partners, etc.): Familiarise yourself with the programme and its essential functions (switching camera and microphone on/off, screen sharing, blurr function, etc.);
  • If a breach of rules or a data protection breach is identified: Immediately inform the moderator;
  • Avoid and prevent information from being disclosed to unauthorised persons;
  • If the screen is shared: It is best to share only a section of the screen (even file icons can contain information).

Legal basis of the processing (Art. 13 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO)

Purpose and legal basis of the processing

In order to conduct online meetings, telephone and/or video conferences and/or webinars, workshops or similar (hereinafter collectively "Meetings"), we use "Teams", a software of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA ("Microsoft").
The legal basis for the processing of data to conduct online meetings using the aforementioned tool is our legitimate interest in the effective conduct of meetings pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. Insofar as the online meetings are conducted within the framework of existing contractual relationships with you, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

It cannot be ruled out that meetings initiated by third parties are held using a tool other than the one provided by JENOPTIK (e.g. Zoom).
These tools are not covered by this declaration.

Scope of the processing

  • For chat, or channel message use: text data for display and logging if necessary;

In case of exchange of files: the personal data contained in the files;

  • When using audio: Recording data of the microphone;
  • For video use: Recording data of the video camera;

  • For telephone use: incoming and outgoing call numbers, country name, start and end time, possibly further connection data such as the IP address of the device.

You are invited to an online meeting by e-mail with an invitation link and/or a calendar date. If you have a Microsoft account, you can also be invited to a meeting on an ad-hoc basis. In this case, your first name, last name and e-mail address will be processed. The same applies if a webinar or so-called broadcast is held. In this case, prior registration and/or activation may be necessary.

To participate in an online meeting, you must at least provide information on your name and - in the case of participation by telephone - your telephone number. In the latter case, we will inform you of this possibility of anonymous participation in the course of the invitation. You can deactivate the transmission via microphone and camera at any time via the corresponding settings. We only record meetings with your consent and prior notification. If the chat function is used in an online meeting, the content of the chat messages, the date and time and the participants are logged and stored. Microsoft stores and uses the metadata to enable us to analyse and report on the use of Teams and to provide technical support.

Recipients or category of recipients of the personal data (Art. 13 para. 1 lit. e) DSGVO)

Your rights

If your personal data is processed, you as the data subject have the following rights vis-à-vis the data controller. To exercise your rights below, please contact the data protection officer responsible for the data controller.

1. right to information

You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request information from us about the following:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

(2) the categories of personal data which are processed;

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;

(4) the planned duration of the storage of the personal data relating to you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage duration;

(5) the existence of a right to rectify or erase personal data concerning you, a right to have processing restricted by the controller or a right to object to such processing;

(6) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;

(7) any available information on the origin of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information on whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. right of rectification

You have a right of rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the personal data processed concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out the rectification without undue delay.

3. right to restriction of processing

You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or

(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, those data may be processed, with the exception of their storage, only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. right to erasure

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without delay and the controller is obliged to erase this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

(4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.

(5) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

(6) The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) DSGVO.

b) Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) DSGVO;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, where the right referred to in Section (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.

6. right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and

(2) the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is authorised by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or

(3) is done with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

The user is not subjected to any such automated decision in individual cases, including profiling, when using our website.

10. right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (you can find the competent supervisory authority here), in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
