Privacy notice

Privacy notice

Plasser Far East Ltd. is pleased to welcome you on our website. Protecting your personal data and privacy is a major concern to us. This privacy notice informs you about data processing on our website.

Processing and using your personal data

The term personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you, such as your name or your email address. We apply the principle of data reduction and data minimisation. Personal data is only used to the extent required and for legally authorised purposes.

We process your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

For communication purposes we exclusively use personal data used by you in the context of general communication.

Apart from that, we process your personal data only with your previous consent and/or in the case of a prevailing legitimate interest.

External service providers we partner with on our website, if any, are selected with the greatest possible care. They are bound in regards to nature and extent of data processing tasks and to comply with our data protection standards.

Automatically generated data

Log file information (web server logs) is automatically collected when you visit our website. This includes browser type and version, the operating system used, the referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited website if you have accessed our website via a hyperlink), and the date and time of retrieval of the webpage. We are unable to allocate this data to certain persons. We do not link it with other data sources either. IP addresses are anonymized before storage by replacing parts of the IP address with random values. Thus, it is no longer possible to establish a link to a certain person.

The data collected is exclusively used for anonymous analysis of user behaviour with the aim of improving our website. User behaviour will not be analysed individually.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your end device by the browser. They do not cause any damage and do not allow for your identification. We use cookies in order to ensure that our offer is user-friendly.

We only use cookies to store your privacy settings for our website (consent to display videos and interactive maps). For this purpose we use persistent cookies. Apart from that our website does not use any cookies.

Persistent cookies allow recognition of your browser when you visit our website again. They are stored on your terminal device and will be deleted automatically after a certain period of time. You may also delete them yourself.

We do not store third-party cookies which could allow tracing your user behaviour across several independent websites.

You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set or to allow cookies only in individual cases. Please see your web browser menu bar for further support.

Web analysis

Improving our offer and our website (legitimate interest) is a major concern to us. We value our users’ privacy and, therefore, we pseudonymize your user data.

Matomo

The website uses the Matomo open source tool for web analysis. Matomo normally uses cookies that enable a statistical analysis of use of the website. For this purpose the usage information is sent and your IP address is immediately anonymised. No personal data is therefore stored for statistical analysis.

Matomo Privacy Policy

No Matomo cookie is set on this website and no personal data is stored for statistical analysis.

Processing of the data is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. In this way we pursue our legitimate interest in optimising our website for our external presentation.

In addition, you may prevent the collection of data by Matomo by clicking on the following link: An opt-out cookie will be set, preventing the collection of your data when you visit the website in future:

Use of OpenStreetMaps

For displaying interactive maps we use the open source map service “OpenStreetMap” of the organization OpenStreetMap Foundation, 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom.

When displaying the maps the following data is transmitted to the servers of OpenStreetMaps: the address of our internet pages that you have visited and the IP address of your terminal device.

Processing of the data is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The legal basis for this is your consent, which is requested before an interactive map is viewed for the first time.

For more information on the handling of user data see the Privacy Policy of OpenStreetMaps: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

Vimeo

This website uses Vimeo to play videos. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011.

The integration of Vimeo is configured in such a way that no cookies storing personal data are used. However, the following technically necessary cookies may be set:

Hyperlinks

Our website may contain hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are electronic cross-references which allow for consultation of other electronic documents. Hyperlinks may lead to websites of other companies. Other websites shall exclusively by governed by privacy policies applicable to them.

Social Networks

Our website contains links to external social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn (“Social Plugins”). By clicking on these links, plugins of the relevant networks will be activated and your browser directly connects with their servers.

If you click on network links while visiting our website, your user data may be transferred to the relevant network. If you are logged in to the network via your user account at the same time, the network may collect information that you visited our website. By logging out of your account before clicking on the link, you can prevent such allocation of data.

The relevant social network shall only be responsible for data processing started by clicking on the link. For information on data processing see the privacy notice of the relevant network.

Secure transmission of data

Technical and organisational measures protect our website against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons.

Our website exclusively transmits data by means of encrypted connections. Transmission is effected via HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) which safeguards confidentiality and integrity in the communication between web server and web browser.

Amendments

We keep our Privacy Notice up to date. Amendments thereto, if any, do not restrict your rights. Amendments will be published on our website.

Your rights

You have the rights of access, rectification, deletion, restriction, data portability, withdrawal and objection. In the case of withdrawal or objection the website can no longer be used. To exercise your right of withdrawal or objection, please contact [email protected].

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your data violates data protection regulations or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can file a complaint with the supervisory authority.
