Pri­va­cy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY, Effec­tive date: June 19, 2018

We are pleased that you are inter­est­ed in our com­pa­ny. Data pro­tec­tion is of par­tic­u­lar impor­tance to the man­age­ment of AFT microwave GmbH. In gen­er­al, the web­sites of AFT microwave GmbH can be used with­out pro­vid­ing any per­son­al data. How­ev­er, if a data sub­ject wish­es to use spe­cial ser­vices offered by our com­pa­ny through our web­site, the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data may become nec­es­sary. If the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data is required and there is no legal basis for such pro­cess­ing, we gen­er­al­ly obtain the con­sent of the data subject.

The pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data, such as the name, address, email address, or tele­phone num­ber of a data sub­ject, is always car­ried out in accor­dance with the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion and in com­pli­ance with the coun­try-spe­cif­ic data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions applic­a­ble to AFT microwave GmbH. Through this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy, our com­pa­ny would like to inform the pub­lic about the nature, scope, and pur­pose of the per­son­al data we col­lect, use, and process. This Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy also informs data sub­jects about the rights to which they are entitled.

As the con­troller respon­si­ble for pro­cess­ing, AFT microwave GmbH has imple­ment­ed numer­ous tech­ni­cal and orga­ni­za­tion­al mea­sures to ensure the most com­plete pro­tec­tion pos­si­ble for the per­son­al data processed through this web­site. Nev­er­the­less, inter­net-based data trans­mis­sions may gen­er­al­ly have secu­ri­ty vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties, so absolute pro­tec­tion can­not be guar­an­teed. For this rea­son, every data sub­ject is free to pro­vide per­son­al data to us by alter­na­tive means, for exam­ple by telephone.

Rel­e­vant Legal Bases

In accor­dance with Arti­cle 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data pro­cess­ing. Unless the legal basis is spec­i­fied in this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy, the fol­low­ing applies: The legal basis for obtain­ing con­sent is Arti­cle 6(1)(a) and Arti­cle 7 GDPR. The legal basis for pro­cess­ing data to pro­vide our ser­vices, car­ry out con­trac­tu­al mea­sures, and respond to inquiries is Arti­cle 6(1)(b) GDPR. The legal basis for pro­cess­ing data to com­ply with our legal oblig­a­tions is Arti­cle 6(1)© GDPR. The legal basis for pro­cess­ing data to pro­tect our legit­i­mate inter­ests is Arti­cle 6(1)(f) GDPR. If vital inter­ests of the data sub­ject or anoth­er nat­ur­al per­son require the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data, Arti­cle 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Changes and Updates to this Pri­va­cy Policy

We ask you to review the con­tent of our Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy reg­u­lar­ly. We update this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy when­ev­er changes to the data pro­cess­ing activ­i­ties we car­ry out make this nec­es­sary. We will inform you if such changes require any action on your part, such as con­sent, or any oth­er indi­vid­ual notification.

Secu­ri­ty Measures

In accor­dance with Arti­cle 32 GDPR, and tak­ing into account the state of the art, imple­men­ta­tion costs, the nature, scope, cir­cum­stances, and pur­pos­es of the pro­cess­ing, as well as the vary­ing like­li­hood and sever­i­ty of the risk to the rights and free­doms of nat­ur­al per­sons, we imple­ment appro­pri­ate tech­ni­cal and orga­ni­za­tion­al mea­sures to ensure a lev­el of secu­ri­ty appro­pri­ate to the risk. These mea­sures include, in par­tic­u­lar, safe­guard­ing the con­fi­den­tial­i­ty, integri­ty, and avail­abil­i­ty of data by con­trol­ling phys­i­cal access to the data, as well as access, input, dis­clo­sure, avail­abil­i­ty, and sep­a­ra­tion of the data. We have also estab­lished pro­ce­dures to ensure the exer­cise of data sub­ject rights, the dele­tion of data, and a response to data risks. In addi­tion, we take the pro­tec­tion of per­son­al data into account when devel­op­ing or select­ing hard­ware, soft­ware, and pro­ce­dures, in accor­dance with the prin­ci­ples of pri­va­cy by design and pri­va­cy by default under Arti­cle 25 GDPR. Our secu­ri­ty mea­sures include, in par­tic­u­lar, the encrypt­ed trans­mis­sion of data between your brows­er and our serv­er. All AFT employ­ees are required to refer to the applic­a­ble data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions when han­dling requests involv­ing per­son­al data and are bound accordingly.

Coop­er­a­tion with Proces­sors and Third Parties

If, in the course of our pro­cess­ing, we dis­close data to oth­er per­sons or com­pa­nies, includ­ing proces­sors or third par­ties, trans­fer data to them, or oth­er­wise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of legal per­mis­sion, for exam­ple if the trans­fer of data to third par­ties, such as pay­ment ser­vice providers, is nec­es­sary for the per­for­mance of a con­tract pur­suant to Arti­cle 6(1)(b) GDPR, if you have giv­en your con­sent, if a legal oblig­a­tion requires it, or on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­ests, for exam­ple when using ser­vice providers, web hosts, and sim­i­lar partners.

If we com­mis­sion third par­ties to process data on the basis of a so-called data pro­cess­ing agree­ment, this is done in accor­dance with Arti­cle 28 GDPR.

Data Trans­fer to Third Coun­tries
Except for the appli­ca­tions men­tioned above, no data is trans­ferred to coun­tries out­side the Euro­pean Union, nor is such a trans­fer planned.

Rights of Data Subjects

You have the right to:

  • request infor­ma­tion about the data stored about you
  • request cor­rec­tion and com­ple­tion of your stored data
  • request dele­tion of data that is no longer required
  • request restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your data
  • with­draw con­sent you have pre­vi­ous­ly giv­en with effect for the future
  • object to the future pro­cess­ing of data con­cern­ing you, in par­tic­u­lar pro­cess­ing for direct mar­ket­ing purposes
  • request data portability
  • file a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry authority
Pro­vi­sion of Con­trac­tu­al Services

If inven­to­ry data, such as names, address­es, and user con­tact details, is processed, this is done to ful­fill our con­trac­tu­al oblig­a­tions and pro­vide our ser­vices in accor­dance with Arti­cle 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Dele­tion of Data

The data processed by us will be delet­ed or restrict­ed in its pro­cess­ing in accor­dance with Arti­cles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless express­ly stat­ed oth­er­wise in this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy, the data stored by us will be delet­ed as soon as it is no longer required for its intend­ed pur­pose and no statu­to­ry reten­tion oblig­a­tions pre­vent its dele­tion. If the data is not delet­ed because it is required for oth­er legal­ly per­mis­si­ble pur­pos­es, its pro­cess­ing will be restrict­ed. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for oth­er pur­pos­es. This applies, for exam­ple, to data that must be retained for com­mer­cial or tax law reasons.

Con­tact­ing Us

When you con­tact us by email, the infor­ma­tion you pro­vide is processed to han­dle and respond to your inquiry in accor­dance with Arti­cle 6(1)(b) GDPR.
User infor­ma­tion may be stored in a cus­tomer rela­tion­ship man­age­ment sys­tem, or CRM sys­tem, or in a com­pa­ra­ble inquiry man­age­ment sys­tem.
We delete inquiries when they are no longer required. We review the neces­si­ty of stor­ing inquiries every two years. Inquiries from cus­tomers who have a cus­tomer account are stored per­ma­nent­ly, and we refer to the cus­tomer account infor­ma­tion for dele­tion. In cas­es where statu­to­ry archiv­ing oblig­a­tions apply, dele­tion takes place after these oblig­a­tions have expired, name­ly after the end of the com­mer­cial law reten­tion peri­od of six years and the tax law reten­tion peri­od of ten years.

 Email Inquiries

You may con­tact us using the email address pro­vid­ed on our web­site. If you send us an email, we col­lect, store, and process the fol­low­ing information:

  • first and last name
  • email address
  • con­tact details includ­ed in your signature
  • the con­tent of your message
  • attached file

Pro­cess­ing takes place only to the extent nec­es­sary to han­dle your inquiry and com­mu­ni­cate with you, in accor­dance with Arti­cle 6(1), sen­tence 1, point (f) GDPR.
The col­lect­ed data is used sole­ly for the pur­pose of han­dling your request. The data is stored only until we have ful­ly respond­ed to your request to your sat­is­fac­tion, the mat­ter has been con­clud­ed, and no statu­to­ry reten­tion oblig­a­tions pre­vent deletion.

Col­lec­tion of Access Data and Log Files

On the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­ests with­in the mean­ing of Arti­cle 6(1)(f) GDPR, we col­lect data about every access to the serv­er on which this ser­vice is host­ed. These are known as serv­er log files. Access data includes the name of the accessed web­site, file, date and time of access, amount of data trans­ferred, noti­fi­ca­tion of suc­cess­ful access, brows­er type and ver­sion, the user’s oper­at­ing sys­tem, refer­rer URL, mean­ing the pre­vi­ous­ly vis­it­ed page, IP address, and the request­ing provider.
For secu­ri­ty rea­sons, for exam­ple to inves­ti­gate mis­use or fraud, log file infor­ma­tion is stored for a max­i­mum of sev­en days and then delet­ed. Data whose fur­ther reten­tion is required for evi­den­tiary pur­pos­es is exempt from dele­tion until the respec­tive inci­dent has been final­ly clarified.

Inte­gra­tion of Third-Par­ty Ser­vices and Content

With­in our online offer­ing, and on the basis of our inter­ests, mean­ing our inter­est in the analy­sis, opti­miza­tion, and eco­nom­ic oper­a­tion of our online offer­ing, we use con­tent or ser­vice offer­ings from third-par­ty providers in order to inte­grate their con­tent and ser­vices, such as videos or fonts. These are col­lec­tive­ly referred to as “con­tent” below. This always requires the third-par­ty providers of such con­tent to receive the IP address of users, because with­out the IP address they would not be able to send the con­tent to the users’ browsers. The IP address is there­fore required for dis­play­ing this con­tent. We make every effort to use only con­tent whose respec­tive providers use the IP address sole­ly for deliv­er­ing the con­tent. Third-par­ty providers may also use so-called pix­el tags, invis­i­ble graph­ics also referred to as web bea­cons, for sta­tis­ti­cal or mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es. These pix­el tags can be used to ana­lyze infor­ma­tion such as vis­i­tor traf­fic on the pages of this web­site. The pseu­do­ny­mous infor­ma­tion may also be stored in cook­ies on users’ devices and may include, among oth­er things, tech­ni­cal infor­ma­tion about the brows­er and oper­at­ing sys­tem, refer­ring web­sites, vis­it times, and oth­er infor­ma­tion about the use of our online offer­ing. This infor­ma­tion may also be com­bined with infor­ma­tion from oth­er sources.
The fol­low­ing overview lists third-par­ty providers and their con­tent, togeth­er with links to their pri­va­cy poli­cies, which pro­vide fur­ther infor­ma­tion on data pro­cess­ing and, in some cas­es, opt-in or objec­tion options already men­tioned here.

We use Google Maps on this web­site. This allows us to dis­play inter­ac­tive maps direct­ly on the web­site and enables you to use the map func­tion con­ve­nient­ly.
When you vis­it the web­site, Google receives the infor­ma­tion that you have accessed the cor­re­spond­ing sub­page of our web­site. In addi­tion, the data list­ed under “Access Data and Log Files” is trans­mit­ted. This takes place regard­less of whether Google pro­vides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be direct­ly asso­ci­at­ed with your account. If you do not want this infor­ma­tion to be asso­ci­at­ed with your Google pro­file, you must log out before acti­vat­ing the but­ton. Google stores your data as usage pro­files and uses it for adver­tis­ing, mar­ket research, and/or the needs-based design of its web­site. Such an eval­u­a­tion is car­ried out in par­tic­u­lar, even for users who are not logged in, to pro­vide needs-based adver­tis­ing and to inform oth­er users of the social net­work about your activ­i­ties on our web­site. You have the right to object to the cre­ation of such user pro­files. To exer­cise this right, you must con­tact Google. Fur­ther infor­ma­tion on the pur­pose and scope of data col­lec­tion and pro­cess­ing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s pri­va­cy policies.

Use of Cookies

Cook­ies are pieces of infor­ma­tion that are trans­ferred by our web serv­er or third-par­ty web servers to users’ web browsers and stored there for lat­er retrieval. Cook­ies may be small files or oth­er forms of infor­ma­tion stor­age.
Users are informed about the use of cook­ies in con­nec­tion with pseu­do­ny­mous audi­ence mea­sure­ment with­in this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy.
If you do not want cook­ies to be stored on your com­put­er, please dis­able the cor­re­spond­ing option in your browser’s sys­tem set­tings.
Most browsers are set to accept cook­ies auto­mat­i­cal­ly. How­ev­er, you have the option to restrict the use of cook­ies through your brows­er set­tings. Because cook­ies enable you to use some of the fea­tures of our web­sites, AFT rec­om­mends that you do not dis­able them, as nec­es­sary web­site func­tions may oth­er­wise be impaired.

Instruc­tions for delet­ing cook­ies in the most com­mon browsers can be found here:

You can object to the use of cook­ies used for audi­ence mea­sure­ment and adver­tis­ing pur­pos­es via the opt-out page of the Net­work Adver­tis­ing Ini­tia­tive at(https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/) as well as via the U.S. web­site (https://optout.aboutads.info/) oder die europäis­che Web­seite (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

Super­vi­so­ry Authority
In accor­dance with Arti­cle 77 GDPR, you may file a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty if you believe that the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data con­cern­ing you vio­lates the GDPR or the Ger­man Fed­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Act.
