3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures
Data Privacy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

By using this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
Information on the responsible party

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

Romotech GmbH
Plastics Technology – Plant Engineering – Service
Goethestr. 4-6
D-63477 Maintal
Tel.: +49 173 9 27 08 27
Email: info@romotech.de

Managing Director: Abdul Khaliq Faizy
VAT ID: DE327194003

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage duration

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for erasure or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.
Notice Regarding the Transfer of Data to the United States and Other Third Countries

Our website incorporates, among other things, tools from companies based in the United States or other third countries that do not provide a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, and you, as the data subject, would have no legal recourse against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)( E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS RELATED TO YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) OF THE GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically—based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract—provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will be done only to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL/TLS encryption

This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can tell if a connection is encrypted because the address bar in your browser will change from „http://“ to „https://“, and there will be a padlock icon in your browser's address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be intercepted by third parties.
Information, Deletion, and Correction

You have the right at any time to free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time for this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us for this purpose at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify it. During the period of verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed – apart from storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.

Demographic Characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the „demographic characteristics“ feature of Google Analytics to display relevant ads to website visitors within the Google Display Network. This allows us to generate reports that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from Google’s interest-based advertising as well as from visitor data provided by third parties. This data cannot be associated with any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the section „Objecting to Data Collection.“.
