Privacy notice
General notice and mandatory information
Fundamentals
This privacy policy informs users of this website about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator SYKAM Chromatographie Vertriebs GmbH.
The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory legal requirements. Because new technologies and the ongoing development of this website may lead to changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you review this privacy policy at regular intervals.
Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
SYKAM Chromatographie Vertriebs GmbH
Karl-Heinz Jansen
Carl-von-Linde-Straße 2
82256 Fürstenfeldbruck
The controller decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).
Data protection officer
No data protection officer has been appointed, as this is not mandatory for us.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Some processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. For withdrawal, an informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The supervisory authority responsible for data protection matters is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information — addresses and links.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, or to have it transferred to a third party, in a machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place where technically feasible.
Right to information, rectification, restriction, and erasure
Within the framework of applicable statutory 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, the right to rectification, restriction of processing, or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the legal notice for these matters and for further questions on personal data.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. Data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties in transit. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” address bar in your browser and the padlock symbol in the browser bar.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:
- Page visited on our domain
- Date and time of the server request
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
Data submitted via the contact form, including your contact details, is stored so that we can handle your inquiry or be available for follow-up questions. This data is not passed on without your consent.
Processing of data entered in the contact form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of processing carried out until withdrawal remains unaffected.
Data submitted via the contact form remains with us until you request erasure, withdraw your consent to storage, or storage is no longer necessary. Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
