Privacy Statement for Website Users
RHI Magnesita GmbH (“us”, “we”, “RHI”) takes the protection of your data and your trust in us very seriously. This data protection declaration applies if you visit or use our website. RHI observes the applicable national legal regulations for the protection, lawful handling and confidentiality of personal data, as well as for data security, in particular, the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
In the following, we would like to inform you about the gathering, use and transfer of your personal data in connection with your visit to and use of our website www.rhimagnesita.com (“Website”).
We only gather your personal data through our Website if you use it or provide this yourself in order to use one of our services offered (e.g. registrations for events, establishing contact via the contact form or e-mail, registration for a newsletter).
Processed personal data
Personal data is information about natural persons that determines their identity or allows it to be determined e.g. name, e-mail address, IP address.
The type and amount of personal data of yours that we process directly is always dependent on how you interact with the Website and what personal data you provide us. It can especially comprise:
Establishing contact
If you contact us via e-mail, chat, application form, or telephone, we process the personal data you provide us with for the purpose of processing and answering your enquiry. This of course also applies if you contact us through a contact form via our Website or would like to subscribe to a particular newsletter.
Please note: Declining to provide necessary personal data can restrict our service or render it impossible.
Social media
Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, YouTube, Whatchado, Twitter, etc.
We do not process any personal data in connection with your use of social media plugins on the Website. We do not have any access to data gathered through the social media plugin and transmitted to the social media operator. Data processing takes place exclusively through the social media operator.
In the interests of the best possible transparency, however, we would be happy to inform you about the processing of your personal data in this context.
To improve your user experience, plugins of the social networks/media Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, YouTube, Twitter and Whatchado are integrated into our Website. These plugins enable the direct posting of links and content from our Website on the respective network or your direct visit to our pages in the respective network. The plugins are recognisable by the respective social media logo or the “like button” on our Website. The social share button, which is situated at the beginning, at the end or on the page of an article text (individual websites or news items), only accesses the respective function on facebook.com, linkedin.com, xing.com, twitter.com by clicking and therefore only then does it establish a connection with the respective networks. If, on the other hand, social media content is embedded into a page, e.g. in our social media stream, a direct connection between your browser and the respective social network server is already established through the plugin used when loading the page. Through the connection, browser-specific data can be transmitted and cookies from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, YouTube and Whatchado can be stored that can e.g. identify the browser of the user.
The processing of personal data in this context by us (if it takes place) is based on our justified interests in: (i) increasing the attractiveness of our Website and therefore user numbers and (ii) a greater visibility of our content and therefore the promotion of our external presentation. We do not store any personal data in relation to this.
We would like to point out that we are not notified of the complete content of the transmitted data, nor its use by these social networks. By opening a website that a social media plugin is integrated into, the respective social media operators
will gather and process information about your visit to our Website for their own business purposes. This processing is not initiated or controlled by us, instead it is an integrated functional feature of the respective social media plugin. We have no access to personal data in connection with this and do not share it with anyone.
For information about the legal basis of the processing of personal data through the social media operator, please contact the respective social media operator. We do not pass on personal data to third countries in relation to this. The social media plugin will, however, perhaps connect with the web server of the social media network in the United States of America. For further information about the transmission and the relevant guarantees with regard to this, please consult the respective data protection declaration of the social media operators.
Google Maps
The Website uses Google Maps to present geographical maps. By using Google Maps, you are declaring your consent to the compilation, processing and use of the automatically gathered data or the data you input by Google Inc., one of their representatives, or third-party suppliers. You can find further information in the usage conditions for Google Maps (http://www.google.com/intl/en_en/help/terms_maps.html) as well as in the Google data protection declaration (http://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy).
Legal basis and storage periods
(Art.6.1.b GDPR), our justified interest (Art.6.1.f GDPR) and also if applicable, on the basis of your consent (Art.6.1.a GDPR).
The processed personal data is used for statistical evaluations, as well as for the purpose of the operation, security and constant optimisation of the Website and the best possible attention to your enquiry (legitimate interest). Usage of your personal data beyond this only takes place with your consent (e.g. sending a newsletter).
When gathering your personal data, if no specific storage duration is indicated, your personal data is deleted if it is no longer required for fulfilling the intended purpose, if there is no longer any legitimate interest and if no further legal storage periods (e.g. tax or corporate law storage obligations) provide for longer storage periods.
Transmission of personal data
Your personal data can be passed on to:
In addition, we will not pass your personal data gathered due to use of the Website on to third parties without your consent.
We would like to point out that we have appointed third parties as authorized Data Processors that are available as IT support. This refers to Strike!IT Agentur OG, with address in Donau-City-Straße 6/2. OG/1, 1220 Vienna, Austria. Data Processors are contractually bound to comply with all data protection regulations, especially also to preserve data confidentiality.
We do not use any exclusively automated decision-making in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR as part of the data processing through use of the Website. This means that no decision about you, justification of or the carrying out of a business relationship is made on a purely automated basis. Should such exclusively automated decision-making processes occur in individual cases, we would inform you about this specifically.
Data processing locations
Your personal data shall be primarily processed in Austria and other EU/EEA countries or another country in which the RHI Magnesita group and/or its data processors are located or have servers and facilities. In such cases, we take appropriate measures, especially through corresponding contractual agreements, to ensure that your personal data is always protected according to GDPR. If personal data is transmitted outside of the EU/EEA to a country for which there is no corresponding adequacy decision by the European Commission, we rely on suitable guarantees such as those of the standard contract clauses authorised by the European Commission.
Your rights
You are entitled to the rights to data access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability and objection. If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you can revoke this consent at any time via the provided tools (e.g. unsubscribe or opt-out buttons) or by writing at dataprivacy@rhimagnesita.com without it affecting the lawfulness of the data processing up to the time of your revocation.
