On this page, we inform you about the processing of your personal data on the website.

How we collect and use your personal data depends on how you interact with us or which services you use. We only collect, use or share your personal data if we have a legitimate purpose and a legal basis for doing so.

What do we mean by legal basis?

Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) - You have given us your consent to process your personal data for the specific purpose that we have explained to you. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. For more information on how you can withdraw your consent, please refer to the subsections "Exercising your rights" in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) - We need to use your data to fulfil a contract you have with us. Alternatively, it is necessary to use your data because we have asked you to do so, or you have taken certain steps yourself before entering this contract.

Legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) - We must use your data to comply with the law.

Vital interests (Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR) - The processing of your data is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person. For example, to protect you from serious physical harm.

Public task (Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR) - The processing of your data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or because it is covered by a task defined by law, e.g. for a statutory function.

Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) - The processing of your data is necessary to support a legitimate interest that we or another party have, only if your own interests do not outweigh this.

Please note that we may not be able to provide you with our website services if your data is processed to fulfil a contract or legal obligation and you do not provide the requested data.

Data sharing and international transmission

As explained in this Privacy Policy, we use various service providers to help us provide our services and keep your data secure. When we use these service providers, it is necessary for us to share your personal data with them.

We have concluded agreements with all service providers to whom we pass on your data that oblige them to protect your data.

If your personal data is transferred outside the EU, we will ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection, either because the country to which your data is transferred has an "adequate" standard of data protection according to the European Commission, or by applying another safeguard, such as an enhanced contractual arrangement, i.e. the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission.

For example, when we use US service providers, we rely on either the SCC or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, depending on the provider. You can request a copy of the SCCs we have entered with our service providers by sending an email to the email address provided in this Privacy Policy.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: Google).

Among other things, Google Analytics analyses how website visitors use our website. Google places cookies on your end device. During the visit, user behavior is recorded in the form of "events". This allows personal data to be stored and analyzed, including:

We use Google Signals. This allows Google Analytics to collect additional information about users who have activated personalized ads (interests and demographic data) and ads can be delivered to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.

IP address anonymization is activated by default in GA 4. This means that your IP address will be reduced by Google within the member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in rare cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google states that the IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other Google data in the context of Google Analytics. Further information on the processing of data by Google can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

("Facebook") in accordance with Art. 26 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This results from the fact that the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH, as the operator of the Facebook page, provides Facebook with the ability to place cookies on the computer or any other device of the person visiting the Facebook page (“visitor”), regardless of whether the visitor has a Facebook account. Within the framework of joint responsibility, Facebook assumes primary responsibility under the GDPR for processing Insights data and fulfills all obligations arising from the GDPR regarding the processing of Insights data (including Articles 12 and 13 of the GDPR, Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, and Articles 32 to 34 of the GDPR).

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as the consent of the data subject is obtained for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH, Facebook, or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh this interest, Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Processing of personal data by RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH

Purpose of the data processing

The RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH maintains an online presence within social networks to communicate with interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our products, events, and news.

When you visit our Facebook page (regardless of whether you are logged into your Facebook account or not), your browser automatically transmits certain data to the web server managed by Facebook. Additionally, Facebook uses 'cookies.' Cookies are small text files stored in the memory of your device via your browser. Cookies set by Facebook are intended, among other things, to enable the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH, as the operator of the Facebook page, to obtain statistics that Facebook creates based on visits to this page, for the purpose of managing the marketing of our activities.

Description and scope of data processing

As the operator of the Facebook page, the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH can obtain anonymized statistical data regarding the visitors to our Facebook page through the Facebook Page Insights function, which Facebook provides to us free of charge as an integral part of the user relationship. This data is collected using cookies set by Facebook, each containing a unique user code that Facebook stores on the visitors' devices. The user code, which can be linked to the login data of users registered with Facebook, is collected and processed when the Facebook page is accessed.

In particular, the fan page operator can receive demographic data provided by Facebook about its target audience—and thus the processing of this data—such as trends in age, gender, relationship status, and professional situation, information about the lifestyle and interests of its target audience, information about the purchases and online purchasing behaviour of visitors to its page, the categories of goods or services they are most interested in, as well as geographic data that informs them about where to conduct special promotions or organize events, enabling them to generally tailor their information offerings as specifically as possible.

Although the visitor statistics created by Facebook are transmitted exclusively in anonymized form to the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH as the operator of the Facebook page, the creation of these statistics is based on the prior collection and processing of personal data of these visitors by the cookies set by Facebook on the visitors' devices for these statistical purposes. More information about Facebook Page Insights can be found at:

https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data

https://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights

In this way, data about the Facebook groups linked to our Facebook page is also provided. Due to the continuous development of Facebook, the availability and preparation of the data changes, so we refer to the privacy notices mentioned in the previous paragraph and below under "PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA BY FACEBOOK" for further details.

We use this aggregated data to make our posts and activities on our Facebook page more attractive to users. For example, we use age and gender distributions for tailored communication and users' preferred visiting times for optimized scheduling of our posts. Information about the types of devices visitors use helps us visually and stylistically adjust our posts. According to Facebook's terms of use, which every user agrees to as part of creating a Facebook profile, we can identify the page's subscribers and fans and view their profiles and other shared information.

In addition to this automatically collected anonymized data, we also process the data you voluntarily provide to us in the context of, for example, comments on posts or contact inquiries.

If you click the link www.rheinmagnet.com/service-navigation/datenschutz/ (this is the page you are currently on), which is set on the Facebook fan page of the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH, you will be directed to a subpage of the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH's website. Personal data is also processed on this page. The applicable privacy policy for these pages can be found here: https://www.rheinmagnet.com/servicenavigation/datenschutz/

Data deletion and storage duration

Personal data is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also be required if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the RHEINMAGNET Horst Baermann GmbH is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by these regulations expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Processing of personal data by Facebook

The way Facebook uses data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, the extent to which activities on the Facebook page are attributed to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data, and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties is not definitively and clearly stated by Facebook and is not fully known to us. However, we will monitor further developments in this regard and adjust this privacy policy accordingly if necessary. The following information is based on information provided publicly by Facebook regarding the processing of personal data when using Facebook products.

Purpose of the data processing

According to its own statements, Facebook processes personal data of visitors for the following purposes:

Providing, personalizing, and improving Facebook products;

Providing measurements, analytics, and other Facebook services;

In this way, Facebook information that can be used to directly identify you will be deleted. This allows you to use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook ID.
