(1) In the following, we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data is any data that can be related to you personally, such as your name, address, email addresses, and user behavior. Our aim is to inform you about our processing activities and, at the same time, comply with legal obligations, especially those under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
(2) The data controller in accordance with Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is FRIEDRICH DUSS Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, Calwer Str. 17, 75387 Neubulach, Germany, email: info@duss.de. You can reach our Data Protection Officer at DP.INFO@DUSS.DE or by sending mail to our postal address with the addition "The Data Protection Officer".
(3) When you contact us via email or using a contact form, the data you provide (your email address, and if applicable, your name and telephone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. The data collected in this context will be deleted if it is related to a contract after the contractual retention periods, or otherwise when storage is no longer necessary, or processing will be restricted if legal retention obligations apply.
(4) If we rely on commissioned service providers for certain functions of our offerings or wish to use your data for advertising purposes, we will always select and monitor these service providers carefully and provide detailed information below regarding the respective processes. In doing so, we will also specify the established retention criteria.
(1) You have the following rights with respect to the personal data concerning you:
– Right of access,
– Right to rectification or erasure,
– Right to restriction of processing,
– Right to object to processing,
– Right to data portability.
(2) You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding the processing of your personal data by us.
(1) When you visit our website for informational purposes only, i.e., without providing any other information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (the legal basis is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR):
– IP address
– Date and time of the request
– Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
– Content of the request (specific page)
– Access status/HTTP status code
– Amount of data transmitted
– Website from which the request originates
– Browser
– Operating system and its interface
– Language and version of the browser software.
(2) In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies may be stored on your computer when you use our website, either now or in the future. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using. They provide certain information to the entity that sets the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the internet offering more user-friendly and effective overall (the legal basis is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). You can delete or block cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Furthermore, we may already or in the future use local storage or session storage technology (also known as “local data” and “local storage” or “session storage”). Local storage involves data being stored locally in your browser's cache, which remains even after you close the browser window or exit the program, unless you actively delete the cache. Local storage allows your preferences for using our websites to be saved on your computer and accessed by you. Session storage functions similarly to local storage, except that the relevant data is automatically removed from your browser’s cache when the browser session ends. Data stored in local or session storage is not accessible to third parties, and it is not shared with third parties or used for advertising purposes. This technology is particularly used to present our content in an appealing graphic display (e.g., pop-up windows, etc.) and to personalize our offerings and navigation on our pages for you. You can manage local storage content via your browser settings under “History” or “Local Data,” depending on the browser you are using. If you restrict the features described, it may lead to functional limitations.
(3) In general, we use the techniques described above solely to improve the user-friendliness and functionality of our websites. We use these techniques based on our legitimate interest to provide you with an attractive, fully functional offering, pursuant to Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. If consent is required for the use of cookies, we will ask for your consent at the appropriate point. If cookies are used based on your consent, the legal basis is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. If you do not wish for the aforementioned techniques to be used, you can adjust your browser settings individually. You may also find a list of used cookies, if applicable, in your browser settings.
(4) Special note regarding cookies:
a) This website may use the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:
– Transient cookies (see b)
– Persistent cookies (see c).
b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include session cookies, which store a so-called session ID that allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the same session. This enables your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser’s security settings.
d) You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences, e.g., to reject third-party cookies or all cookies. Please note that you may not be able to use all the features of this website if you do so.
(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you generally need to provide additional personal data, which we will use to provide the respective service. The principles for data processing mentioned above apply to these services.
(2) In some cases, we may use external service providers to process your data. These service providers are carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions, and are regularly monitored.
(3) Furthermore, we may share your personal data with third parties when participating in promotions, sweepstakes, contract conclusions, or similar services that we offer in cooperation with partners. You will receive more detailed information about this when you provide your personal data or below in the description of the offer.
(4) If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this in the description of the offer.
(1) If you have given consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw it at any time. Such a withdrawal will affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.
(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on a balance of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary for the fulfillment of a contract with you, which we will explain in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing, or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue processing.
(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can inform us of your objection to advertising via the following contact details: FRIEDRICH DUSS Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, Calwer Str. 17, 75387 Neubulach, E-Mail: info@duss.de.
We store personal data in accordance with statutory retention periods (e.g., under commercial and tax law regulations). After these periods expire, the data will be deleted unless it is still required to fulfill a contract or there is a legitimate interest in its continued storage.
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins and/or link to the following social media platform providers: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube. For plug-ins, we use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can identify the provider of the plug-in by the marking on the box above its initial or logo. We offer you the option to communicate directly with the plug-in provider via the button. Only when you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In this case, the data mentioned in the section "COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE" (Section 1) will be transmitted. For pure links to social media platform providers, the data mentioned in the section "COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE" (Section 1) will only be transmitted to the provider after you click on the link. Since the plug-in provider collects data particularly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies in your browser's security settings before clicking on the greyed-out box.
(2) We have no control over the data collected or data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full scope of the data collection, the purposes of processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information regarding the deletion of the collected data by the respective provider.
(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses it for advertising, market research, and/or the design of its website to meet user needs. Such an analysis is carried out in particular (even for non-logged-in users) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. By using the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins and the use of social media platforms, including linking to them, is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO. If consent to the use of cookies is required, we will ask for your consent at the appropriate place. If cookies are used based on your consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO.
(4) The data transfer when using social media plug-ins occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly associated with your existing account with the plug-in provider. When you activate the button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out of a social network regularly after using it, especially before activating the button, to avoid linking to your profile with the plug-in provider.
(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers, which are provided below. There, you will also find further information about your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy.

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 for the website operator.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
(3) You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to Google, and the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. You can also prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, and personal identification can be excluded. As far as the data collected about you has a personal reference, this is immediately excluded, and the personal data is thus promptly deleted.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and to regularly improve it. The statistics we obtain enable us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. For exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Should further consent for the use of cookies be required, we will ask for your consent at the appropriate place. If cookies are used based on your consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

(1) This website also uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to show relevant ads to users, improve reports on campaign performance, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ad multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. Additionally, DoubleClick can capture so-called conversions related to ad requests through cookie IDs. This happens, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected through the use of this tool by Google, and therefore we inform you according to our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address.
(3) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies so that you do not receive ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com," https://www.google.de/settings/ads, with this setting being deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, with this setting being deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge, or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We inform you that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.
(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Further information on DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.de/doubleclick and http://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090, as well as in Google's general privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy.

(1) We process personal data of applicants solely for the purpose of conducting the application process. The collection, storage, processing, and use of personal application data within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures and to safeguard legitimate interests, particularly for conducting application procedures. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b and lit. f GDPR. If applicants have given their consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. There is no obligation to give any required consent, and any consent given can be revoked at any time—individually or entirely—for the future. In this case, the data collected and stored based on consent will be deleted.
(2) Applicant data will generally be deleted as soon as the purpose of their processing has been fulfilled. This is the case when an application process has been completed, and no later than six months thereafter. This does not apply if there are statutory retention obligations that extend beyond this or if consent has been given for a longer retention of application data.
