Privacy policy homepage

The protection of your personal data when it is collected, processed and used during your visit to our website is a very serious concern for us. All information about your person, such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, account number, etc., as well as all information that can be traced back to you, is referred to as personal data. This also includes the IP address that is automatically transmitted when you visit a website. This is technically mandatory.

We want you to know when we collect which data and how we use it. We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by any external service providers. In particular, we also take into account the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU) to be implemented from 25 May 2018.

Below you will find information on what data is collected during your visit to the website and how it is used.

If you wish to assert your rights (see below), please contact us as the controller responsible for data processing on this website - the contact details can be found in the legal notice.

If you have any fundamental questions or concerns regarding data protection, please write to our external data protection officer (DPO) at datenschutz@rauch.de. Please include our company name in the subject line so that the external DPO can assign this more easily.

Legal basis

Personal data may only be "processed" if there is a valid legal basis for doing so. The processing is linked to a specific purpose. We process personal data that we may collect from you via this website on the basis of the following legal bases:

Balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

If tools are used with the aim of making our website more customer-friendly, efficient and secure, this can be done as part of a balancing of interests, as user behaviour is not profiled and the visitor's IP address is only stored in non-anonymised form for a short period of time. This applies to Google Analytics, for example.

We also process information that you provide to us for the purpose of a potential or existing business relationship (B2B relationship) as part of the balancing of interests.

Contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR

If you provide us with your personal information as a private individual (e.g. as part of a product enquiry), we process this data as part of a contract initiation or to process the contractual relationship.

Legal requirement pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR

Insofar as we are subject to legal requirements that require us to use your personal data, this is done within the scope of this legal basis.

Consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR

In rare cases, we may wish to use the personal data you have provided for a purpose other than that for which it was intended. If this should occur and there is no other legal basis, we require your voluntary consent - which can be revoked at any time for the future - which we will then ask you for separately.

Collection and processing of personal data

Website access

When you visit our website, your IP address and other information is automatically transmitted. We do not store this data ourselves, but our service provider requires this information for the technical provision of the website. It automatically logs every access to our homepage and every possible retrieval of a file stored on the homepage.

The following data is logged: name of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval and web browser. The IP address of the computer from which the enquiry was sent is not saved. Personalised user profiles can therefore not be created.

The storage serves internal system-related purposes, essentially to ensure the availability of our website, including in accordance with § 100 TKG (interference and misuse of telecommunications systems). The log data is deleted after a reasonable period of time (maximum 10 weeks). The processing on our responsibility is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Please note that telecommunications service providers are legally obliged to store connection data within a reasonable framework (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).

If we wish to use the transmitted IP address for other purposes, this is explained in more detail below.

Information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, we are obliged to provide appropriate information whenever personal data is collected directly from the data subject. We collect personal data from you on our website and would therefore like to inform you accordingly. This collection takes place, for example, when we

  • collect your IP address for the technical provision of the website
  • use a tracking tool that utilises the IP address
  • accept your entries in a contact module for communication with us.

Basic procedure:

If you have provided us with personal data, we will only use it to respond to your enquiries and for technical administration. An exception to this is the anonymised IP address for statistical analysis.

Your personal data will only be passed on or otherwise transmitted to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of contract processing - in particular the transfer of order data to suppliers - or for billing purposes, if we are legally obliged to do so, in the context of order processing by subcontractors or if you have given your prior consent. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

The stored personal data will be deleted if you revoke your consent to storage, if knowledge of the data is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored, i.e. the process has been completed and there are no statutory deletion periods to the contrary, or if its storage is not permitted for other legal reasons. If the data cannot be deleted for technical reasons, we will anonymise it so that a personal reference can no longer be established in the future.

All data collection and processing on this website is the responsibility of our company.

Additional detailed information can be found in the following points.

Contact forms

When you contact us via our website, we collect various personal data from you using the contact form. Mandatory fields marked with an asterisk are required for us to process your enquiry appropriately - other information is voluntary. We transmit your enquiry to our internal system via an encrypted path without intermediate storage. However, please ensure that you do not provide any confidential data or information in this way.

We use this information exclusively to process your enquiry. The process described above is necessary for us to do this. If necessary for processing, we will involve other parties to process your enquiry in accordance with the applicable legal regulations (e.g. as part of order processing). If your details were provided for the purpose of or as part of a business relationship with us, we will store your contact details in our internal systems. Your actual request may also be stored in internal systems (e.g. ticket system, e-mail system) in order to enable the process of internal processing.

As we assume an open-ended business relationship, we will only erase or anonymise your data on request (see Your right to erasure later) or if the purpose for data storage no longer applies, provided there are no legal retention periods or erasure periods to the contrary.

For private individuals, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the initiation or execution of a contractual relationship, otherwise the processing is carried out within the framework of the balancing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, because we naturally have a legitimate interest in being able to provide you with good long-term support.

RAUCH partner portal on our website

As an authorised RAUCH dealer, you can register on our website (by e-mail). To do this, we require your company details, customer number, Internet address, name and e-mail address (German or international) in order to use additional functions and information on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the

of the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will reject the registration.

In the event of important changes, for example to the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

Newsletter

Newsletter dispatch

If you are interested in receiving a newsletter from our company for information purposes about our company, products and services, we require your first name, surname and e-mail address. After your registration, our system will send you an e-mail with an activation link that is valid for 3 days and with which you confirm your registration. This ensures that you are actually the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. You will only receive the newsletter from this point onwards. If you do not confirm the activation link, your data will be automatically deleted after 3 days.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your e-mail address and the data you have provided in a database separated by customer and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. You will find a corresponding note with a link in the newsletter.

The double opt-in procedure is used to ensure consent to the subscription/unsubscription. A confirmation e-mail is sent to the recipient. Only after confirmation by using the activation link is the sending of the newsletter authorised.

Your e-mail address will only be used to process the newsletter subscription. We may use service providers to fulfil the service within the framework of the legal requirements (e.g. as processors). If you unsubscribe from the newsletter (revocation of consent for the future), your data will be deleted or anonymised within 3 days.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Cookies

The website uses so-called cookies in several places. These are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They can have various different functions: Cookies enable the user to use the internet more conveniently. By setting them, the Internet gains a kind of memory - the website remembers, for example, that a user has already accessed it before and, in the case of an encrypted site, makes it unnecessary to log in again. Cookies also make it possible to determine complex usage and surfing behaviour. They can store information on usage behaviour and transmit it to the user. This means that the use of cookies enables profiling, which must be viewed critically in terms of data protection law.

We use cookies on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (balancing of interests). For details, please refer to the explanation below.

When you visit our website, "cookies" are stored in the cache of your browser. These serve the technical, flawless presentation of the website. These are

fe_typo_user

Session cookie for Typo3 user management. No personal data is processed.

Storage duration: Session

Adobe Typekit

To make visiting our website attractive, we use external fonts from Adobe Typekit. These are retrieved from servers of Adobe Systems Inc, San Jose, California, USA when you visit the site. Adobe does not set any cookies to provide the service. However, according to our information, the IP address of the user's end device is transmitted to Adobe and stored. Further information on data protection at Adobe Typekit can be found in Adobe's privacy policy at the following link

Matomo Analytics

We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. This is an open source tool for web analysis. Matomo does not transmit any data to servers that are outside the control of RAUCH. Matomo does not collect any session data without your consent.

Matomo uses cookies. These text files are stored on your computer and enable RAUCH to analyse the use of the website. For this purpose, the information about usage obtained by the cookie is transmitted to the RAUCH server and stored so that usage behaviour can be evaluated. Your IP address is an anonymous identifier for us; we have no technical means of identifying you as a registered user. You remain anonymous as a user.

RAUCH Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH sees this analysis as part of its Internet service. The aim is to further improve the website and customise it even more to the needs of users.

If you consent to web analysis using Matomo, the following data will be collected when individual pages of our website are accessed:

(1) 2 bytes of the IP address of the user's accessing system
(2) The website accessed
(3) The website from which the user arrived at the website accessed (referrer)
(4) The subpages accessed from the website accessed
(5) The time spent on the website
(6) The frequency with which the website is accessed

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. Users' personal data is only stored there. The data is not passed on to third parties.

You can decide here whether a web analysis cookie may be stored in your browser to enable RAUCH to collect and analyse statistical data.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is used on this website. Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google Inc. that allows companies to manage website tags via an interface. Google Tag Manager is a cookie-less domain that does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. We hereby point this out separately. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out by the user at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. This constitutes an overriding legitimate interest on our part within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Links to other websites

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognisable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. If we become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately. Please note the data protection declarations of the third parties to whose site the link is made.

Your rights - rights of the data subject under the GDPR

Art. 12 - 23 GDPR regulate the rights of the data subject, i.e. your rights regarding the handling of your personal data. These are essentially vis-à-vis us:

Security notice:

We make every effort to take all technical and organisational measures to store your personal data in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of communication via an unencrypted e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security, so we recommend that you send confidential information by encrypted means or by post.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
