Privacy Policy

General Information

Data protection is of high importance to Hölling DMA Antriebs- und Systemkomponenten GmbH (hereinafter "Hölling").

The Hölling website can generally be used without providing any personal data.

However, the processing of personal data may become necessary when specific services on our website are used.

We generally obtain the consent of the data subject whenever there is no legal basis for such processing.

The processing of personal data (e.g. the name, address, email address, or phone number of a data subject) is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with applicable country-specific data protection regulations. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

Hölling has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

Cookies and Local Storage

Our website does not use classic cookies, but exclusively your browser's local storage, to enable two purely technically necessary functions: storing your selected language (German/English) and storing your decision regarding this cookie notice, so that it is not displayed again on a subsequent visit.

This storage takes place exclusively locally on your device, is not transmitted to our servers, and does not serve any analytics, tracking, or advertising purpose. We do not use any analytics, marketing, or tracking cookies or comparable third-party technologies. As these are technically necessary functions within the meaning of § 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG (German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act), no separate consent is required for them.

You can view and delete the local storage at any time via your browser settings. If you disable local storage, the website remains fully usable; only your language choice and the confirmation of the cookie notice will need to be made again on each visit.

Collection of General Data and Information

The Hölling website collects a series of general data and information whenever the site is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected: (a) the browser types and versions used, (b) the operating system used by the accessing system, (c) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (d) the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (e) the date and time of access to the website, (f) an internet protocol address (IP address), (g) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (h) other similar data and information used to prevent danger in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, Hölling does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and our website's technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

Contact Options via the Website

Due to legal requirements, the Hölling website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as required by applicable laws or regulations.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or a required retention period expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

Data Protection in Applications and the Application Process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also take place electronically, in particular where an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means. If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data is stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents are automatically erased three months after notification of the rejection decision, provided no other legitimate interests of the controller preclude erasure.

Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.

To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Further information about Google Web Fonts is available at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

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

Where processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Children

Persons under the age of 18 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Rights of the Data Subject

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.
