How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected by you providing it to us — for example, data that you enter into a contact form. Other data is automatically captured by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page views). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for?
Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to receive free information at any time about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact the address given in the imprint at any time. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You also have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. Details can be found in the privacy policy under "Right to Restrict Processing".

Analysis Tools and Third-Party Tools

When visiting our website, your surfing behaviour may be evaluated statistically, primarily using cookies and analysis programmes. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous and cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information can be found in the privacy policy below.

2. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

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

If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

WEEng GmbH
An der Lände 1c
92360 Mühlhausen
Tel: 09185 500 4488
info@weeng.net

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent already given at any time by sending an informal communication to us by email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation is unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Against Direct Mail (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct mail. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purposes of direct advertising (objection under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right of Appeal to the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, those affected have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their workplace or the place of the alleged infringement. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Within the limits of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification, blocking or deletion of this data.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is being carried out unlawfully, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from its storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The data you send to us via contact enquiries remains with us until you request deletion or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The collected customer data will be deleted after completion or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
