As a result of Internet usage and electronic data processing, individuals may have the feeling that they are losing an overview of where their data are being stored and for what purpose. We would therefore like to explain to you, as a visitor to our web pages, how we at UNTHA shredding technology GmbH and our sales partners – hereinafter referred to as "UNTHA" – ensure the confidentiality of your personal data and protect your personal rights.
Area of application
The UNTHA data protection declaration applies to all websites for which UNTHA is responsible. Since UNTHA operates world-wide, your data will also be transmitted to countries outside Europe. UNTHA web pages may contain links to third party companies which are not covered by our data protection declaration.
Cookies
Cookies are small files which are saved on your computer by the website server. These do not intrude on your private sphere as cookies merely contain a randomly generated identification number. This number allows us to tailor the content of our website to your interests more effectively in the future. In this way, navigation and searches for information can be made easier on the basis of your previous visits.
If you wish to prevent cookies being saved on your computer, please enter the appropriate settings on your Internet browser. In some cases, blocking cookies may impair the functions, ease of operation and accessing of certain areas of our website. This depends on your browser settings.
Use of data
When you call up information from our website, we may require personal information from you. Should you wish to communicate with us by e-mail or order information and news free of charge, we will need your e-mail address, name and, in some cases, a telephone number. Should you purchase information, goods, products or services from us, we will need a few financial details. In the case of job applications, we will need further information about you, your education, your career history, family, etc. The data that you give us will only be processed for the purpose of providing the services that you require in the desired format. If we need data from you that are classified as private, we will fully observe all your interests under data protection law. We will not pass on your details to any party outside UNTHA without your consent. Since UNTHA operates world-wide, it is possible that your data may be transmitted to countries outside Europe. These and all other transfers are processed securely and are constantly monitored by us. If, in the course of a service, you enter personal data and then click on the "I agree" button, you are giving your consent for your data to be transmitted in this way. If we should wish to use your personal data for another purpose, we will naturally obtain your permission first.
Storage of data
Data will only be stored for as long as they are required to fulfil a contractual relationship or any statutory obligations resulting from such a relationship. Once this period has expired, the data are "depersonalized" so that they can no longer be associated with you. We will not collect any data about you other than the data listed here.
Security
In accordance with the Data Protection Act, we have set up guidelines, regulations and technical measures to protect the personal data that we store. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access and possible disclosure, alterations, unlawful deletion or accidental loss. We do not currently offer visitors to our website secure, encrypted access for transmitting personal data.
Data protection
Legal precedents on data protection may change at any time. We therefore recommend that you read our data protection guidelines regularly. In addition, we will display any such change prominently on our website for an appropriate period of time.
Hyperlinks
UNTHA websites may contain hyperlinks to websites of third parties. If you click on one of these links, you will leave the UNTHA website. UNTHA has no influence on the content of these web pages or their data protection, which may differ from our guidelines. The purpose of these links is simply to draw your attention to website content of third-party suppliers that may be of interest to you. We do not assess this content in any way. The UNTHA data protection declaration does not apply to personal information that you provide to websites belonging to independent third parties. We recommend that you read the data protection guidelines of each website thoroughly before you enter personal information. Some independent suppliers may make your data available to UNTHA; this exchange is governed exclusively by the data protection guidelines of these third-party suppliers.
