Data Protection

1. contents

This data protection notice applies to PRH Poly Resource Hamburg GmbH. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and adhere strictly to the provisions of the data protection laws. In the absence of explicit consent, personal data is only collated to the extent technically necessary or for the maintenance and improvement of our website and is never sold or passed to third parties outside our group of companies or service providers for any other reasons.

The following notice gives you an overview of how we guarantee this protection and what data is collected, processed, utilised and potentially passed on.

2. Data processing on this website

Your visit to our website is logged. Mainly the following data, which your browser transmits to us, is collated in the first instance:

-the IP address your PC is currently using

-date and time

-browser type and version

-your PC’s operating system

-the pages you viewed

-name and size of the file(s) requested

and where relevant the URL of the referring web page.

As a rule it is neither possible nor intentional for a specific person to be identified from the data.

This data is only used for purposes of data security, for optimising our online presence and remedying faults. The data is not otherwise analysed, except for statistical purposes, in which case it is always anonymised. No personal surfing profiles or similar are created or processed. See below for information on the evaluation of this data via Google Analytics!

3. Contact details

Further, personal data is only stored if you volunteer it to us in a contact form for the purpose of contacting us. The respective input and contact forms notify you of the purposes for which the data collated there is gathered. Such data shall be partly transferred over the Internet in an encrypted form (using an https connection, see below).

In this event, the information given by you for the purpose of processing your contact request is stored. We transfer personal data to our companies belonging to PRH Poly Resource Hamburg GmbH only if doing so is expedient for processing your requests. Personal data are not passed on to third parties. You are of course entitled to object to this use of your data at any time.

The information collected on this website may be forwarded to appropriate service providers or affiliated companies for evaluation. We warrant that we will not otherwise pass your personal data to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by law or you have given us your prior approval.

If we deploy service providers for the performance and handling of processing procedures, such contractual relationships shall be governed subject to the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG). In particular we warrant that in this case the third parties shall be subject to the duty to maintain confidentiality of data and further that all ten points under section 11 BDSG (“Commissioned collection, processing or use of personal data”) are governed by the contract.

As a rule log files are only evaluated by the administrator for the purposes of detecting and analysing errors and are deleted after six months at the latest.

4. Right to information

If you have entrusted personal data to us and no longer consent to its being stored, or the data has become inaccurate, we shall effect the deletion or blocking of your data when instructed to do so or shall make the requisite corrections (to the extent that this is possible under applicable law). On request you shall be freely notified of all personal data that we have stored about you; simply send a notification in any form to us or our data protection officer Mr. Sascha Kremer (see below).

5. Storage of communicated data

Personal data communicated to us via our website shall only be stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us is completed, whereupon it shall be deleted or at least blocked such that any further use is not possible. Where storage periods need to be complied with under commercial and tax law, the storage duration for certain data may be up to eleven years.

6. Applicable law

We operate our business such that our duties in all countries in which we are represented are complied with. Our activities in Germany are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany

7. Notes on external links (“Disclaimer”)

Where this website contains links to other websites, note that we have no influence over the layout and content of the linked pages. For that reason we accept no liability for such third-party content. In all cases the respective provider or operator is responsible for this content. At the point of linking, the linked pages were checked for unlawful content but no legal infringements were identified. Where legal infringements are detected, such links are immediately removed; however, it is unreasonable for us to permanently monitor the linked pages without specific indications of a breach of the law, and we are always grateful for any tips of this kind. This applies to all external links included on this site and all content of the pages to which advertising media (e.g. banners, text adverts, video adverts) lead.

8. Notes on Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) (“Google”). Google Analytics uses what are termed “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed (see below!). The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is usually transferred to one of Google’s servers in den USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this web page, however, Google shortens your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatory nations to the Treaty on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to one of Google’s servers in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information on behalf of operator of this website to analyse your usage of the website, to compile reports on your website activity and to provide further services connected to the use of the website and Internet for the benefit of the website operator. The IP address transferred from your browser via Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of the cookies by making a corresponding setting in your browser software; however, please note that if you do so you may not be able to use all functions of this website fully. Further, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from the following link you can prevent the information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being transmitted to and processed by Google: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information concerning the terms and conditions of use and data privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/en_uk/policies/. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).

9. Notice on the encryption option

If you are interested in one of our job offers and you communicate your data to us via the corresponding contact form, the entire exchange of data is encrypted via the https protocol.

10. Note on the use of cookies

As already mentioned above, (see “Google Analytics”), the Internet pages use what are known as “cookies” at several points. An example of when a cookie is stored is to indicate whether you have permanently activated our website’s “energy-saving mode”. Further, cookies are used by our analysis tools, which we use to constantly improve our web presence and to make surfing as simple and convenient as possible for you.

 Cookies are small text files that are usually stored on the PC of the Internet user. If you want to prevent the use of cookies, you can do so via a corresponding setting in your browser. However, this may impair the functioning of the Website.

11. Note on security and confidentiality of personal data

We guarantee the confidentiality and security of your personal data by

only using your personal that is communicated to us via our website or in the course of e-mail correspondence for dealing with your request or concern,

imposing duties of confidentiality on our employees,

ensuring that our security measures comply with the state of the art to an appropriate extent,

regularly checking the security of our systems to ensure that the data stored by us is permanently protected from damage, loss and access, and

our data protection officer ensuring compliance with the “data protection notice”.

Please note that any information sent via e-mail is not encrypted. You should therefore only send us confidential data by post.

12. Note on topicality

All information on this website has been checked with the utmost care. However, we accept no liability for the content of our own webpages being correct, complete and up-to-date at all times.

The “data protection notice” will be updated if we introduce new products or services, alter Internet processes or Internet and IT security technology develops further.
