Data collection on this website

a) Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • IP address used
  • Operating system used
  • Browser used
  • Time of access
  • Websites you visit on our site
  • Website from which you are visiting us (if transmitted)
  • Host name of the accessing computer

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and the optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

b) Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the form — including the contact details you enter there — will be stored by the Salzgitter Group company you selected and listed below for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions:

  • Salzgitter AG
  • Mannesmann Precision Tubes GmbH
  • Mannesmann Line Pipe GmbH
  • Mannesmann Grossrohr GmbH

If necessary to address your inquiry, your request may be forwarded within our group to another company with the appropriate expertise. In doing so, we ensure that only the data necessary in each case is transmitted.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective and appropriate handling of inquiries addressed to us within our corporate group (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided that consent was requested; consent may be revoked at any time. Privacy notices for business partners and interested parties of Salzgitter AG are available here.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us or within our corporate group until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

c) Request by email or phone

If you contact us by email or telephone, your request, including all personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

Additional information can be found in the data protection information for business partners and interested parties.

d) Information on data processing for online applications

You can find detailed information in our Data Privacy Information for Applicants.

e) Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., displaying stock prices). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted. You can revoke your cookie consent for this website at any time and adjust your cookie settings: Cookie consent / Cookie settings

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

We disclose personal data to external parties only if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to investigative authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. 

Within our corporate group, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to other companies, provided this is necessary for processing inquiries, fulfilling contractual or pre-contractual obligations, or safeguarding legitimate interests. In doing so, we ensure that only the data necessary in each case is transferred and that data protection regulations are complied with. 

When using data processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Your rights as a data subject under the GDPR

a) Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

b) Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to art. 21 (2) GDPR).

c) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

d) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

e) Information, correction, and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time with any questions you may have on this topic or on the subject of personal data.

f) Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.>
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Consent to cookies / Cookie settings

Our website uses its own consent technology to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of certain technologies, and to document this in compliance with data protection requirements.

Consent technology stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents you have given or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the consent manager provider cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies.

The consent tool is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Analytics and marketing tools

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we—and our parent company, Salzgitter AG—are able to collect and analyze data regarding how visitors use our website. This allows us, among other things, to determine when specific pages were viewed and from which region the visitors are coming. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks).

The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its content. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device. Consent may be revoked at any time.

When analyzing data with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. This involves truncating your IP address prior to analysis so that it can no longer be uniquely associated with you. We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, ensuring that all analysis data remains with us and is not shared with third parties.

We use a tag manager to integrate and manage services. This allows us to integrate additional analytics and marketing services, each of which is activated only with your consent.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses the “LinkedIn Insight Tag” conversion tracking tool provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

This tool enables us to collect and analyze information about how our website is used, as well as to measure the success of our LinkedIn advertising campaigns.

In particular, LinkedIn processes the following data:

  • IP address
  • Device and browser information
  • Referrer URL
  • Timestamp
  • Page views and interactions 
     

The LinkedIn Insight Tag uses cookies or similar technologies to recognize users and attribute conversions.

The data collected by the Insight Tag is pseudonymized by LinkedIn within seven days and deleted within a maximum of 90 days. We receive only aggregated reports and no personal data of individual users.

Data transfers to third countries (e.g., the U.S.) cannot be ruled out. These transfers are based on appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. of the GDPR (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses).

Processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose ceases to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist with us or with the newsletter service provider, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage of your data if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.

Newsletter distribution to existing customers

If you order goods or services from us and provide your email address, we may subsequently use this email address to send you newsletters, provided that we inform you of this in advance. In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter in this case is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (3) UWG.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). There is no time limit for storage in the blacklist. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Google Fonts (local hosting)

The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform font display. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and to make it easy to find the locations we have indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and

This website links to videos on the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of these websites that contains a link to YouTube, no connection to YouTube's servers is established.
