Data protection and security information
Our company attaches particular importance to data protection. In principle, you can use our website without providing personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to avail of particular services provided by our company online, processing of personal data may be required. If processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which the data subject has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to provide this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller, as long as the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability in accordance with Article 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject is entitled to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible, and provided that this does not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of other persons.
In order to assert their right to data portability, the data subject can contact our data protection officer at any time.
| (12.7) Right to object Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to file an objection at any time to the processing of said data, which takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e or f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Our company will no longer process personal data if an objection is filed, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for its processing, which override the data subject’s interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If our company processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject will have the right to object at any time to the processing of said data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to our processing of personal data for the purposes of direct advertising, we will no longer process this data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. In order to assert their right to object, the data subject can contact our data protection officer directly. |
(12.8) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact our data protection officer at any time.
(12.9) Right not to be subject to automated decision-making
Furthermore, you have the right under Article 22 GDPR not to be subject to fully automated decision-making. In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making to establish, implement and terminate the business relationship. If we decide to use this procedure in individual cases (e.g. to improve our products and services), we will inform you of this and of your rights in this regard separately if this is required by law.
(12.10) Obligation to provide data
In the context of our business relationship, you must provide such personal contractual data that is required for the establishment, implementation and termination of a business relationship, and for the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or for whose collection we are legally obliged. Generally speaking, we will not be able to conclude, execute or terminate a contract with you without this data.
The same is true with regard to visiting our online offering and collecting usage data. We will not be able to provide you with our online offering without collecting usage data.
(13) Data protection for job applications and application procedures
perma-tec collects and processes the personal data of job applicants for the purpose of carrying out the application process. This data is also processed electronically. This is the case in particular when an applicant submits their application documents to our company electronically, for example, by email or using a web form contained on the website. If our company enters into an employment agreement with an applicant, the data submitted will be stored in compliance with the applicable legal regulations for the purpose of performing the obligations under the employment contract. If our company does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after the decision not to hire has been communicated, unless there are other legitimate interests on the part of the controller preventing this. Other legitimate interests in this context means, for example, any obligation to provide substantiating evidence in proceedings based on the General Non-Discrimination Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz; AGG).
Within the perma group your data are transferred to perma USA and processed there. The legal basis for the data transfer and data processing is article 49 para.1 (b) GDPR (the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request) and / or the explicit consent in accordance with article 49 para. 1 (a) (the data subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer). There is no comparable level of data protection in the USA. Government agencies are legally authorized to access your personal data without our/your knowledge or consent. Your chances of successfully enforcing your privacy rights in the USA are not very promising.
(14) Data protection provisions: tracking tools
Data protection regulations for the use and application of Google Analytics
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) into this website for processing. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and analysis of data on the behaviour of visitors on websites. Among other things, a web analytics service records data on the website from which a data subject accesses a website (referrer), which subpages on the website are accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage is viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimise a website and to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller uses the extension “_gat._anonymizeIp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. This extension is used to shorten and anonymise the IP address of the data subject's internet connection if access to our web pages takes place from a Member State of the European Union or another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information it gathers for evaluating the use of our website, compiling online reports on activities on our web pages for us, and providing services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Cookies have already been explained above. Placement of the cookie enables Google to analyse the use of our website. Whenever a data subject visits an individual page of our website that we operate and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the system used by the data subject. This helps Google trace the origin of visitors and clicks and thus, for example, enables commission to be charged.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the time at and place from which our website was accessed and how often the data subject visited it. Whenever our web pages are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may transmit the personal data collected by this technical method to third parties.
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We obtain the necessary consent from the user as soon as our website is accessed.
As described above under Clause 5, data subjects can, at any time, prevent cookies from being placed by our website by making the relevant settings in their web browsers and thus permanently objecting to the placement of cookies. Such a setting in the web browser would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, a cookie that has already been placed by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time in the web browser or by using other software programs.
Moreover, data subjects can object to and prevent recording of the data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website and the processing of that data by Google. To do so, a data subject must download and install a browser add-on using the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on notifies Google Analytics by means of JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Installation of the browser add-on is interpreted by Google as an objection to the recording of data. If the data subject’s IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled later, the browser add-on must be installed again in order to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by data subjects or other persons in their sphere of influence, the browser add-on can be reinstalled or reactivated.
More information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en. More detailed explanations on Google Analytics can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics.
