5 Transmission and disclosure of data and data transfer
In general, we only use your personal data within the Frauscher Group. The companies belonging to the Frauscher Group can be found on our website: https://www.frauscher.com/en_us/locations.
Within the legal provisions, we may transfer personal data to courts, authorities or law firms or other business partners (such as shipping or logistics partners for the execution and processing of orders).
If and as far as we engage third parties for the execution of contracts (e.g., logistics service providers), personal data will only be provided to that extent which is absolutely necessary for the corresponding service.
In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing ("processing on behalf of a controller (processor)", Article 28 GDPR), we contractually obligate the processor to use personal data only in accordance with data protection laws and ensuring the protection of the data subject's rights.
It is possible that recipients are located in countries outside the European Union ("Third Countries"), where the applicable law does not guarantee the same level of data protection as in your home country. In that case, a transmission will only take place if the Third Country has an adequacy decision of the European Commission, or appropriate guarantees have been agreed with the processor (e.g. EU standard contractual clauses have been concluded), the processor participates in an approved certification system (e.g. EU-US Privacy Shield), or binding internal data protection regulations according to Article 47 GDPR or an exemption according to Article 49 GDPR exists.
Any transfer of your personal data to third parties beyond the extent already described will only take place if this is necessary for the processing of your request, for the fulfillment of the contract or, more generally, for fulfilling our obligations or due to mandatory legal/regulatory requirements. For other purposes, your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
6 Legal basis and storage periods
Data processing takes place on the legal basis of point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR (consent) and / or point (b) (contract initiation / performance) and / or point (f) (legitimate interest).
The processed personal data are used for statistical evaluations as well as for the purpose of operation, safety, and optimization of this website (legitimate interest). Any further use of your personal data (e.g., shipping of product and service information) will only take place with your consent.
As far as no explicit storage period is specified when collecting your personal data (e.g. in the context of a declaration of consent), your personal data will be deleted (or anonymized), to the extent they are no longer required and provided that deletion or anonymization does not contradict any statutory storage requirements(e.g. trade and/or tax-related retention obligations), warranty obligation and/or security-related obligation.
7 How we protect your data
All personal data collected by us will be protected by appropriate technical and organizational measures, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing and the likelihood and severity of the risk to individuals' rights and freedoms within the meaning of Article 32 GDPR against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons or misuse. For example, your personal data is stored in a secure operating environment, not open to the public. As a principle your personal data is encrypted during transmission by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This means that an approved encryption method is used for the communication between your terminal and the Frauscher servers or, if required, to the assigned processor, provided that your browser supports SSL.
Please note that we do not assume any liability for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us or not attributable to us and / or due to unauthorized access by third parties.
All our employees and all third parties involved in the processing of data are obliged to comply with the applicable data protection rules and corresponding laws and the confidential handling of personal data.
