We thank you for your interest in our organisation. Data privacy has a special significance for the management of the LPKF Laser & Electronics AG. Insofar as you wish to make use of certain services of our organisation, for instance about our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. You are then, in the sense of the data protection provisions, a relevant party, respectively a relevant person.
During the processing of personal data, i.e. the name, the address, the telephone number, or the e-mail address of a relevant person, we always take the guidelines of the Data Protection Ordinance and the respective valid country-specific basic data protection provisions into consideration.
If there is no legal basis for processing personal data, we generally obtain consent for the necessary processing from the person concerned.
With this data protection statement, we would like to provide information to the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, utilised and processed by us. Further, those concerned can have the rights they are entitled to explained.
The LPKF Laser & Electronics AG maintains diverse technical and organisational measures, to secure as far as possible, extensive protection of the processed personal data. Even so, a transfer of personal data via Internet can, in principle, have security flaws, so that hundred percent security cannot be guaranteed. That is why every person concerned is free to pass on this data to us in other ways, i.e. by telephone.
The following terms and definitions used follow the definitions of Art. 12 para. 1 of the Basic Data Protection Ordinance (GDPR), as well as section 2 of the Federal Data Protection Law (BDSG).
Responsible for processing in the sense of the Basic Data Protection Ordinance (GDPR) and other provisions that have a data protection character, is:

Persons concerned may contact our data protection officer at any time concerning all questions and suggestions pertaining to data protection.
If a person concerned contacts us per contact form of the website or per e-mail, we save this voluntarily provided information for processing of the enquiry, as well as in case of subsequent questions arising. We only save and use further personal data if the person concerned agrees or if this is permissible without consent by law. No personal data will be passed on to third parties, with the exception of, if applicable, necessary information requested by authorities.
In the framework of the valid data protection laws and technical possibilities, we take maximum care of the safety of the personal data of the persons concerned. Personal data entered into the website are transmitted to us coded via the encoding system SSL (Secure Socket Layer).
We point out, however, that data transfer in the internet (i.e. during communication per e-mail), may show security flaws. Complete protection from access through third parties is not possible.
For the securing of your data we maintain technical and organisational safety measures which we continually adapt to the status of technology. We also do not guarantee that our offer is available at certain times; disturbances, interruptions or outages cannot be precluded. The severs utilised by us are carefully secured regularly.
Insofar as we obtain consent for processing procedures from the person concerned, Art. 6 para 1 lit. a of the EU-General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis.
In the processing of personal data, which is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract whose contract party is the person concerned, Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing procedures that are necessary for the execution of measures precedent to the contract.
Insofar as processing of personal data in respect to the fulfilment of a legal obligation which our company is subject to, Art. 6 para 1 lit. c GDPR serves as legal basis. In case of vital interests of the person concerned or another individual make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 para 1 lit. d GDPR serves as legal basis.
Is the processing for the protection of a justified interest of our company or a third party necessary and the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-named interest, then Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis.
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or locked as soon as the purpose of saving is no longer applicable. Moreover, a retention can take place if this has been designated by the European or national legislator in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations which the person responsible is subject to. Blocking or deletion of the data takes place even when a retention expires through the mentioned norms unless there exists the necessity for further retention of the data for the closing of a contract or a contractual obligation.
We obtain and process personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing can also take place electronically. This is especially the case when an applicant forwards relevant application documents to us electronically, i.e. per e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transferred data is saved under adherence of the legal regulations, for the purpose of handling of the employment. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after the declining announcement, insofar as no other justified interests on our side conflict with a deletion. These are, for instance, burdens of proof in a proceeding according to the General Equality Act (AGG).

We reserve the right to belatedly review the data if, based on concrete evidence, the suspicion of illegal usage exists. We save IP addresses for a limited time in the log files, if this is necessary for security reasons or for the service period or the account of a service, i.e. when the person concerned makes use of one of our offers. We save IP addresses when we have a solid suspicion of a felony in connection with the use of our website.
We, as offerors of the contents are, in accordance with Art. 7 para. 1 Telemedia Law, responsible for “own contents” which we provide for usage, according to the general laws.
From these own contents, cross-references (“Links”) to the “alien” content made available by other providers must be differentiated.
Upon the first linking, we have initially checked the alien content, whether a responsibility under criminal law will be caused.
We do review the links to alien contents regularly, but not constantly for changes. If we ascertain or are notified by third parties that a provided link caues a responsibility under criminal law, we will delete the link.

Under the following prerequisites, the person concerned can demand the limitation of the processing of personal data pertaining to them:
Was the processing of their personal data limited, then this data – aside from their saving – may only be processed with their permission or for enforcement, execution or defence of legal claims or for the protection of another individual or legal person or for reasons of important public interest to the EU or a member state.

We have integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on our website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the acquisition, collection and assessment of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service gathers, amongst other things, data about from which website a person concerned came onto a website (so-called referrer), to which sub-sites of the website access was gained or how often and what duration the sub-site was looked at. A web analysis is mostly utilised for optimisation of a website and for the cost-usage analysis of internet advertising.
Operating company of the services of Google Analytics-Component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For the web analysis via Google, we use the addition “_gat._anonymiseIp”. With this addition, the IP address of the internet connection of the person concerned is shortened by Google and anonymised if access to our websites takes place from a member state of the European Union or another contractual state of the agreement on the European economic area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics Component is the analysis of the streams of visitors to our website. Google uses the gained data and information, amongst other things, to assess the usage of our website, to build online reports for us that show the activities on our websites and to provide further services in connection with the usage of our website.
Google Analytics deposits a cookie on the IT system of the person concerned. With the deposit of the cookie, an analysis on the use of our website is made possible for Google. Through every call-up of one of the individual pages of our website, into which a Google Analytics Component has been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics Component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the framework of this technical procedure, Google acquires knowledge about personal data, like the IP address of the person concerned, which serves Google, amongst other things, in retracing the origin of the visitor and clicks and subsequently make commission statements possible.
By way of the cookie, the personal data, i.e. the time of access, the location from where access was gained and the frequency of visits to our website through the person concerned is saved. Upon each visit to our websites, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection of the person concerned, is thus sent to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is saved by Google in the United States of America. Under certain circumstances, Google passes this personal data, acquired via technical procedure, to third parties.
The person concerned can, as already demonstrated above, at any time prevent the depositing of cookies through the respective setting of the utilised internet browser and so object permanently to the depositing od cookies. Such a setting of the utilised internet browser would also prevent Google from depositing a conversion cookie on the IT system of the person concerned. Additionally, an already deposited cookie by Google AdWords can be deleted via the internet browser or other software.
Further, there is a possibility for the person concerned to object to and to prevent the acquisition of data pertaining to the use of our website by Google Analytics, as well as the processing of this data by Google. Hereto, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on via the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This browser add-on advises Google Analytics via Java script that no data and information pertaining to visits of websites may be transmitted to Google. The installation of the browser add-on is assessed by google as an objection. Is the IT system of the person concerned deleted, formatted or newly installed at a later time, a further installation of the browser add-on has to be carried out by the person concerned to deactivate Google Analytics. Insofar as the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned, or another person who is attributable to their domain, there is the possibility of fresh installation or another activation of the browser add-on.
Further information and the valid data protection regulations of Google can be called under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy and under www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link: www.google.com/intl/en_uk/analytics.
