With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "/H&B/ Electronic GmbH&Co.KG". By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.
The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is
/H&B/ Electronic GmbH&Co.KG
Siemensstr. 8
75392 Deckenpfronn
Germany
Representative of the controller:
Hans Böhm
You can reach the data protection officer as follows
H. Braun
E-mail: datenschutz@h-und-b.de
You can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with § 15 para. 3 TMG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
1. you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
2. the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is authorised to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.
6.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains "https://" instead of "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
6.2 Data collection when visiting the website
If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded
1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system
3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer)
4. the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
5. the date and time of access to the website
6. an internet protocol address (IP address),
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to
1. deliver the content of our website correctly
2. optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,
3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
This collected data and information is therefore analysed by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.
7.1 General information on cookies
We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.
Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.
7.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies
The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR
8.1 Making contact / contact form
Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
8.2 Blog comment function
We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on our website. A blog is a portal on a website, usually open to the public, in which one or more people, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If you leave a comment in the blog published on this website, information about the time you entered the comment and the chosen user name (pseudonym) will be saved and published in addition to the comments you leave. The IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that you have violated the rights of third parties or posted illegal content by posting a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest so that we can exculpate ourselves in the event of an infringement. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and this collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves our legal defence.
8.3 Application management / job exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § Section 26 (1) BDSG.
So that we can also communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with regard to the processing operations triggered thereby, which concern personal data.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precaution, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore entail data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in the social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or to analyse user behaviour by the providers without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behaviour is assigned directly to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here).
The described processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR.
As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or cancellation (so-called opt-out) is listed below with the respective social network provider we use:

10.1 YouTube (videos)
We have integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by you.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific sub-page of our website you are visiting when you access a sub-page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.
These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which can be accessed at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed.
11.2 Right to information Art. 15 GDPR

11.3 Right to rectification Art. 16 GDPR
You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. You also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
11.4 Erasure Art. 17 GDPR
You have the right to obtain from us the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay where one of the grounds provided for by law applies and insofar as the processing or storage is not necessary.
11.5 Restriction of processing Art. 18 GDPR
You have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the legal requirements is met.
11.6 Data portability Art. 20 GDPR
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.
Furthermore, in exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
11.7 Objection Art. 21 GDPR
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) (data processing in the public interest) or (f) (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests) of the GDPR.
This also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
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 the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In individual cases, we process personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a task carried out in the public interest.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you are free to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
11.8 Revocation of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future.
11.9 Complaint to a supervisory authority
You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority responsible for data protection about our processing of personal data.
