2. Recording of general data and information

Every time visited, this website records various general data and information

These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files.

It is possible that the following are recorded:

the type and version of browser used,
the operating system used by the accessing system,
the internet site from which the accessing system accesses our internet site (called referrer),
the sub-websites that link to our internet site via an accessing system,
the date and time the internet site was accessed,
the internet protocol address (IP address),
the internet service provider of the accessing system and
other similar data and information that act as an emergency response in the case of attacks on our IT systems.

In using these general data and information, it is impossible for Senze-Instruments to determine your identity.

No profiling is carried out. The reason we need this information is rather to ensure that we keep the contents of our website up to date, that we optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for this, that we guarantee the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website as well as to ensure that we are able to provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

Senze-Instruments Benelux analyzes these anonymously recorded data and information on a statistical basis with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company.

We save the anonymous data in the server log files separately from all the personal data that you have provided us.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) of the GDPR.

3. Data processing upon first contact

You can contact us using the contact form provided on our website or via the email address that you will find in our imprint.

If you use one of these channels to contact Senze-Instruments Benelux, we automatically save the personal data that you have given us. Such personal details given to Senze-Instruments on a voluntary basis are saved to process your inquiry and/or for the purpose of getting in touch with you.

What we collect
Our contact forms ask for the following personal information in addition to published data available about the organisation that you work for:
• Full name.
• Department.

• Email address.
• Contact phone number.

Generic information
• The name of the company you work for.
• The location of that company.

Senze-Instruments allocates the inquiries and related personal data to the technically responsible office within Senze-Instrument for processing and use.

The legal basis for the processing of the data for contract initiation or execution is Art. 6 Para. 1 b) of the GDPR and in all other cases Art. 6 Para. 1 f) of the GDPR.

4. Subscription to our newsletter

Users are given the option of subscribing to the Senze-Instruments Benelux newsletter (e.g., "News") on the Senze-Instruments Benelux website. The personal data that are recorded when subscribing to the Senze-Instruments Benelux newsletter can be seen on the input screen.

Senze-Instruments Benelux uses the newsletter to provide information on a regular basis to customers and business partners about innovations of our services and production, current press releases, information about our brand or the current contents of our website. The newsletter can fundamentally only be received by the person affected if (1) the person affected has a valid email address and (2) the person affected registers for receipt of the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is initially sent to the registered email address of the affected person in a double opt-in procedure for receipt of the newsletter. This confirmation email serves as a check to ensure that the owner of the email address as the person affected has authorized the receipt of the newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is Art. 6 Para. 1 a) of the GDPR.

Upon registration for the newsletter, we store the IP address of the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system of the person affected at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The recording of this data is required to be able to identify the (possible) misuse of the email address of the person affected at a later point in time and therefore also to guarantee legal protection of Senze-Instruments Benelux.

The personal data collected as part of the registration process for the newsletter are used exclusively for the following purposes:

Dispatch of the newsletter
Advice and advertising
Needs-related structure of the newsletter
Compilation of the topics in the newsletter in line with the interests of subscribers

In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by email insofar as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter services or a registration with regard to this, such as for changes to the offer or a modification to the technical circumstances.

Consent to the storage of personal data that the person affected has given us for the subscription to the newsletter can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the revocation of consent. In addition, it is also possible to deregister at any time directly with Senze-Instruments Benelux by sending a notification to the contact details given under number 1.

5. Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.

Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

6. Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed on a computer system and stored in that system. By using cookies, Senze-Instruments Benelux is able to provide you with user-friendly services that would not be possible if the cookies had not been placed. Cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his/her login data every time he/she visits the website, because these are taken from the website and the cookie placed by the website on the computer system.

The data are collected and stored for optimization and marketing purposes. These data are used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. Cookies can be used for this. The cookies enable recognition of the internet browser. The data collected are not used to identify the visitor of this website personally and are not combined with personal data of the carrier of the pseudonym without the individually granted consent of the person affected. No profiling is carried out. The collection and storage of data can be objected to at any time with future effect.

You can prevent the placing of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of your internet browser and consequently prevent the setting of cookies on a permanent basis. In addition, cookies that have already been placed can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or another software program. This is possible in all standard internet browsers. However, if you deactivate the placing of cookies in your internet browser, not all the functions of our website will be fully available to you in certain circumstances. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) of the GDPR.

7. Data transfer to third parties

Access to personal data is technically possible for service providers and contracting parties that we employ for the operation of our website. These external service providers are obliged to use your personal data only for the purpose of providing the services that we require or for other purposes in compliance with out instructions.

Senze-Instruments Benelux is responsible for ensuring that you are informed about your rights as a person affected within the context of the valid data protection laws. You can address any inquiries or complaints regarding your personal data to Senze-Instruments Benelux.

Apart from the aforementioned data transfer, we will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information outside of Senze-Instruments.

Your contact information will not be passed on to a third party without your permission unless we are required by law to do so.

8. Storage period of data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the relevant statutory storage period. Once this deadline has expired, we routinely delete all the corresponding data insofar as they are no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.

If the reason for storage no longer applies or if the storage deadline set by the European regulator or another relevant legislator should expire, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.

9. Your rights

As a person affected, you are entitled to the rights as set out in Articles 15-21 of the GDPR vis-à-vis Senze-Instruments Benelux if the prerequisites set out therein have been fulfilled. These are the rights to information (Art. 15 of the GDPR), correction (Art. 16 of the GDPR), deletion (Art. 17 of the GDPR), restriction in processing (Art. 18 of the GDPR), data transfer (Art. 20 of the GDPR) and the right to object (Art. 21 and 22 of the GDPR).
