The use of our website is possible without providing any personal data. However, primarily technical data (e.g., the internet browser used, operating system, time of page access, etc.) is automatically collected by our IT systems when you access the website, either automatically or based on your consent. The collection of this data takes place automatically as soon as you enter the website. These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website as well as for improving our services. Other data may be collected, for example, when you provide it to us by entering it into a contact form.
If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or, if special categories of data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed, on the basis of Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device, data processing is also based on Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The purposes of data processing arise from the respective consent. You may revoke any consent given for the processing of personal data at any time, free of charge and with effect for the future.
You can revoke your consent at any time using the enquiry form at https://dpms.d3-datenschutz.com/anfrage-formular/august-steinmeyer-gmbh-co-kg or the contact details above.
In the context of fulfilling a contract or carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The specific purposes of data processing are determined by the respective contractual content, the details of which can be found in your contract documents and the applicable terms and conditions.
Furthermore, we process your data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
If your legitimate interests do not outweigh ours, data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests or those of a third party pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The respective legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.
We only transfer personal data to external parties if:
- this is necessary for the performance of a contract,
- we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure to authorities),
- we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the transfer, or
- another legal basis permits the transfer of data.
In the case of processors, we only transfer personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
In addition, data may also be shared with affiliated companies, for example for administrative purposes. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Recital 48 GDPR.
The storage period is determined by the purpose of processing and any applicable statutory retention obligations. Personal data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected, or when the legal basis for processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or revoke any consent previously given for data processing, your data will be deleted unless there are legally permissible reasons to retain it (e.g., statutory retention periods); in such cases, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.
Data collection on the website
Server log files
For the operation, optimization, and security of our websites, we use qualified service providers. We only share personal data with them to the extent necessary for the provision and use of the websites and their functionalities, for the pursuit of legitimate interests, for compliance with legal obligations, or if you have given your consent.
When you visit our website, information that your browser automatically transmits is collected by the provider and stored in so-called server log files. These include, for example, browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. The collection of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of our websites.
Cookies
When visiting our websites, cookies may be used. Cookies are small files that are stored on your desktop, notebook, or mobile device during your visit to a website and can later be retrieved. They can, for example, recognize whether there has already been a connection between your device and the website, take into account your preferred language or other settings, provide you with certain functionalities, or identify your interests on the basis of usage. Cookies may also contain personal data.
Whether and which cookies are used depends on which areas and functionalities of our websites you use and whether you consent, via our Consent Management System, to the use of cookies that are not strictly necessary — i.e., typically required for technical reasons.
Further information (such as the purpose and storage period of the respective cookies) and decision-making options are available in the cookie layer. If you choose not to use cookies or delete them, some functionalities of our websites may not be available to you, or only to a limited extent.

This data is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the cookiebot cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.
The use of cookies is based on the legal obligation to obtain consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Social Plug-ins Use of service providers
Our websites may also contain third-party offers. If you click on such an offer, we transfer data to the respective provider to the extent necessary (e.g. the information that you have found this offer on our website and, if applicable, further information that you have already provided for this purpose on our websites).
Social plug-ins from social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn are also used on our websites. When you visit our websites, the social plug-ins are deactivated, i.e. no data is transferred to the operators of these networks. When you click on the respective social plug-in, a direct connection is established with the server of the respective network. If you have a user account with the network and are logged in there when you activate the social plug-in, the network can assign your visit to our website to your user account. If you wish to avoid this, please log out of the respective network before activating the social plug-in. Your connection to a social network, the data transfers taking place between the network and your system and your interactions on this platform are governed exclusively by the data protection provisions of the respective network. The social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies. If you activate a social plug-in, personal data may be transferred to providers in countries outside the European Economic Area which, from the perspective of the European Union ("EU"), do not guarantee an "adequate level of protection" for the processing of personal data in accordance with EU standards.
