Revision of this Data Protection Notice

Both the summary and the Full Website Data Protection Notice are subject to revision. We will notify you of revisions by appropriate means.

FULL WEBSITE DATA PROTECTION NOTICE

1. Categories of personal data and purposes of processing: What personal data do we process and why?

1.1 Metadata

You can use the website without providing personal data about yourself. In such cases, we collect only the following metadata, which results from the use of the website: Browser type and version, operating system and interface, referring website (referral URL), pages viewed, the date and time you access our website, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Your IP address is used to provide you with access to our website. Once your IP address is no longer needed for this purpose, we truncate it by removing the last octet of the address. The metadata, including the truncated IP address, is used to improve the quality of the website and the services offered through it by analysing use patterns.

1.2 User account

When you create a user account on our website, you are asked to provide the following personal data about yourself: Name, gender (Mr. or Ms.), postal address, email address, phone number, selected password for your user account, payment information, billing and delivery address, and (optional) requests for marketing materials. We process such personal data to manage your user account, to answer your questions, to provide requested products or services, to provide marketing materials to the extent permitted by law, to analyse your interests for marketing purposes, to improve our website in line with use patterns and for technical management or for other purposes that you have consented to.

1.3 Orders for products

When you order a product on our website, we collect and process the following personal data about you: Name, gender (Mr. or Ms.), postal address, email address, phone number, payment information, billing and delivery address, product type and quantity, purchase price, order date, order status, returns, enquiries to customer service and (optional) requests for marketing materials. We process such personal data to fulfil contractual obligations and process your orders, provide customer service, comply with legal obligations, defend, establish and exercise claims in law, provide marketing materials to the extent permitted by law, and analyse your interests for marketing purposes.

1.4 Newsletter

When you state that you wish to receive our newsletter, we collect and process the following personal data about you: Email address and (optional) whether you wish to receive marketing emails or postal mailings. We process such personal data to send out the newsletter and other marketing materials to the extent permitted by law and to analyse your interests for marketing purposes.

1.5 Comments function in the blog

WashTec offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by the data subject are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the user's (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of the data controller, so that he can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of the data controller.

2. Basis of processing and legal consequences: What is the legal basis for the processing of your personal data and what happens if you do not wish to provide personal data?

The legal basis for the collection, processing and use of personal data by the company is as follows:

You have given consent to the processing of your data for one or more specific purposes;
The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or, at your request, to take steps prior to entering into a contract;
The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
The processing is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of another natural person;
The processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in WashTec;
The processing is necessary for the purpose of legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where those interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data. These legitimate interests are the fulfilment of the processing purposes specified under heading 1, in particular so that we can process your orders, fulfil contractual obligations and inform you about product innovations;
Other applicable legal bases for data processing, notably under provisions stipulated in the law of Member States or

The provision of your personal data is required by law or contract. The provision of your personal data is necessary in order to enter into a contract with us or for the receipt of services/products you have requested. The provision of your personal data is voluntary.

Not providing personal data can be to your detriment; for example, you will not be able to receive certain products and services. However, not providing personal data does not lead to any legal consequences.

3. Categories of recipients and international transfers: Who do we share your personal data with and where are they located?

We may transfer your personal data to third parties for the above-described purposes as follows:

Within the WashTec Group: We and any company in the WashTec Group may receive your personal information for the purposes described above. Internal departments within WashTec may receive your personal data commensurate with the categories of personal data and purposes for which the personal data was collected. For example, our IT department may have access to your account information, and our sales department may have access to your account information or data relating to product orders. In addition, further departments within WashTec may have access to personal data about you on a need-to-know basis, for example the legal department, the finance department or the internal audit department.
To processors: Specific third parties, which may or may not be affiliated companies, may receive your personal data in order to process it on instruction (“processors”) if this is necessary for the processing purposes described above; examples include website, customer service, marketing and IT support service providers, as well as other service providers who support us in maintaining our business relationship with you. Processors are contractually obliged to implement suitable technical and organisational measures to secure the personal data and to process the personal data only as instructed.
Other recipients: In accordance with applicable data protection law, we may transfer personal data to law enforcement agencies, government and judicial authorities, lawyers, outside consultants or business partners. In the event of corporate acquisitions and mergers, personal data may be transferred to third parties involved in the acquisition or merger. We will not share your personal data with third parties for advertising, marketing or other purposes without your consent.

Access to your personal data is restricted to persons who have a need to know in order to perform their work.

International transfers: The personal data we collect and receive from you may be transferred to and processed by recipients located inside or outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Some of the recipients outside the EEA are EU-U.S. Privacy Shield certified and others are in countries subject to current adequacy decisions (notably Andorra, Argentina, Canada (for non-public entities subject to the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), Switzerland, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey and New Zealand, please select the countries that apply). In all transfers, a level of data protection is ensured that is recognised and adequate from a European data protection perspective. Other recipients may be located in countries that do not ensure an adequate level of data protection from a European data protection perspective. We will take all necessary precautions to ensure that all security measures necessary under data protection law are taken when transferring to countries outside the EEA. With regard to transfers to countries that do not ensure an adequate level of data protection, we will take appropriate security precautions in transfers, such as standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission or a supervisory authority, approved codes of conduct together with binding and enforceable commitments by the recipient or approved certification mechanisms together with binding and enforceable commitments by the recipient. You may contact us as specified under heading 7 below and request a copy of such appropriate security precautions.

4. Storage periods: How long do we store your personal data?

Your personal data will be stored for as long as is necessary to provide you with the services and products you request. When your contractual relationship with us comes to an end or your account is deleted, or when you terminate your relationship with us in any other way, we will remove your personal data from our systems and records and/or properly anonymise it so that you can no longer be identified from it (unless we have to retain your data to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which WashTec is subject, such as for tax reasons).

We may retain your contact details and information about the interest you have expressed in our products and services for a longer period if you have consented to WashTec sending you marketing materials. We may also be required under applicable law to retain certain personal data for a period of ten years after the relevant tax year. We may retain your personal data after termination of our contractual relationship if your personal data is necessary for compliance with other applicable laws or if we require your personal information, exclusively on a need-to-know basis, in order to establish, exercise or defend a claim in law. As far as is possible, we will restrict the processing of your personal data to such limited purposes after termination of our contractual relationship.

5. Your rights: What are your rights and how can you assert them?

Right to revoke consent: If you have given your consent to the collection, processing and use of your personal data (in particular to receiving direct marketing communications via email, text message or telephone), you can revoke that consent at any time with effect for the future. Revoking consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed prior to revocation. If you wish to revoke your consent, please contact us as specified under heading 7 below.
