d) Lead Forensics

This website uses Lead Forensics (https://www.leadforensics.com) an IP address-based web analysis service for website optimization and analysis of our Internet content, advertising and lead generation. Lead Forensics works on the basis of reverse business IP tracking, which is not the same as cookies. Instead a code is used, which tracks IP addresses visiting our website, identifies them as business related and matches them to a wholly owned global database of businesses and business information. The software is almost entirely focused on leveraging business related information to effectively match a business IP address with wider business data to provide valuable business related visitor information to us, such as the date and duration of the user’s visit, and the web pages which the user visits. This data may be used by us to contact the business about their experience or for marketing purposes. We will not pass this data to third parties for any reason. Furthermore, Lead Forensics does not identify any personal IP addresses, mobile devices or any other data than that associated with the business. It does not, and cannot, provide individual, personal or sensitive data regarding who has visited our website.
All data within the Lead Forensics solution is verified at least once in a 12 months cycle. Any invalid records are placed into a deletion queue, which is then securely purged four times in a 12 months period.
You can object to data being processed by Lead Forensics by clicking the link in section 6 below.
Processing of data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. This is based on our legitimate interest of continuous improvement of our website.

i) Newsletters and press distribution list

aa) If you have granted consent in each case, you subscribe to our insulbar^® newsletter or our impulse magazine, or you are on our press distribution list. In our newsletters, the impulse magazine and press releases we inform you about our goods and services in the area of plastic solutions on a regular basis.

bb) We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our insulbar^® newsletter, impulse magazine or our press distribution list. That means that after you have subscribed, we send an email to the address you provided asking you to confirm that you would like to receive our insulbar^® newsletter, our impulse magazine or our press releases. If you do not confirm your request within four days, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after six weeks. We also save the IP addresses you used and the time of registration and confirmation. This ensures that we are able to prove that you registered and clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. Therefore, we will store your email address, your IP address and the time of your registration and confirmation as long as it is necessary to prove your registration and confirmation if claims, in particular civil and/or competition law claims are asserted against us. In any case, your email address, IP address and the time of your registration will be deleted when the respective claims have become time-barred.

cc) The only information required for sending the newsletter is your email address. In order to subscribe to and receive the impulse magazine or press releases, we also require your first name, last name and postal address if you have opted to receive them by post. The other information provided is voluntary and allows us to address you personally. You are not required by law or contract to provide personal data in the context of the application and confirmation for our newsletter, impulse magazine or press releases. However, please note that we cannot send you our newsletter, impulse magazine and press releases if you do not provide us with your email address, your IP address and the time of your registration and confirmation.

j) Social Media

Our website integrates so-called 2-click social buttons from Facebook, LinkedIn and Xing. If, when using our website, you are logged into one of the above networks at the same time, no data will be automatically transferred. Only when you activate the respective button with a 2nd click will a direct connection be established between your browser and the server of the selected social media service. In this way, the provider of the network is informed that you have accessed our website with your IP address, and would like to share the site you are visiting on the respective social network. By clicking once more, you agree to the transfer of the respective data and to sharing the page.

In addition, so-called social bookmarks from the same services are integrated on the website. Social bookmarks are web links to a company’s social media channels. After clicking on the link or the corresponding image, you will be transferred to the respective provider’s website, which means that only then will user information be transferred to the respective provider. Please note that we do not receive any information about the contents and use of the data transferred from the respective provider. For more detailed information about how your personal data is dealt with when you use social networks, please refer to the respective provider’s privacy policy.

k) LinkedIn Insight-Tag

On our websites, we integrate the service "LinkedIn Insight-Tag" of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, California 94085, USA. The LinkedIn Insight tag enables the collection of data on visits to our website.

We do not receive any personal data from LinkedIn members, only reports and notifications (in which members are not identified) about the website audience and ad performance. Retargeting also gives us the ability to display targeted ads outside of our website without identifying the member. We also use the data to improve the relevance of ads and reach members across devices. "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking" creates statistics for us from which we can see how many users responded to our ads and in what way. Based on these statistics, we can optimize the effectiveness of our advertising and control our advertising strategy. In particular, LinkedIn enables us to create target groups for "LinkedIn Retargeting" (target group-oriented advertising) on the basis of this data and to address them via LinkedIn ads. 

Members of LinkedIn can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings.

Direct member identifiers will be removed to pseudonymize the data. This remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted within 30 days.

Insofar as we use optional cookies and similar technologies as part of the integration of the service or insofar as data is stored in or read from your terminal device by the service, this is done in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The processing of personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the EU-DSGVO.

You can revoke consent you have already given at any time in the cookie settings. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

When using "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking", the processing of your data may also take place in countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) in third countries without an adequate level of data protection, in particular in the USA. If your data is transferred to third countries, there is a risk that authorities there may access your data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or being able to appeal. To ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring your data to LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, California 94085, USA, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission have been concluded in accordance with Article 46 (2) (c), (5) sentence 2 EU-DSGVO and further technical measures have been taken. In principle, we have no influence on further data processing by the third-party provider. Further information on the handling of personal data by LinkedIn can be found at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

l) Online job applications 

It is possible for you to apply to vacant positions online on our website. The personal data provided in this context is only used for the application process. You are not legally or contractually required to provide personal data for the application process. However, please note that we cannot process your application unless your personal data is provided.

The data concerning your application will be stored until a final decision has been made concerning the vacant position, then it will be deleted. This does not apply if you have expressly consented to having your data saved in the Ensinger applicant pool, or if an employment relationship is established due to your application. In this case, the data from your job application will be processed in the context of your employment relationship.

Your application data is processed on the basis of Article 88 (1) GDPR as read with section 26 subsection 1 sentence 1 Federal Data Protection Act.

• You can demand the correction of incorrect personal data
• You can demand the erasure or restriction of processing of your personal data and
• You can demand to receive the personal data that you have provided in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

If you have given us consent, you also have the right to revoke your consent with future effect at any time.

You can assert the aforementioned rights against us, for example, by means of a communication using one of the contact methods indicated at the end of this data protection declaration.

You also have the opportunity to contact the competent supervisory authority in the event of complaints concerning the handling of your personal data.

You have the right to object to the processing of personal data relating to you that takes place on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter e or f EU-DSGVO at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

Ensinger GmbH will no longer process the personal data relating to you, unless it can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is used for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

If the personal data relating to you are processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to the processing of the personal data relating to you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is associated with such direct advertising.

If you object to the processing for purposes of direct advertising, the personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services -- and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC -- you have the opportunity to exercise your right of objection by means of an automated proceeding, in which technical specifications are used.
