Cookies

Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer or other end device. The use of cookies helps us to analyze your use of the website, improve the services and products offered, improve security and prevent fraud attempts. We distinguish between different types of cookies:

Session cookies are temporary cookie files that are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser.
Persistent cookies are cookie files that are stored until they are actively deleted or automatically removed after a certain period of time.
First-party cookies are cookies that are set directly by us.
Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a third-party provider.

Personal data may be stored in cookies on individual pages if you have expressly consented to this beforehand, e.g. to avoid having to re-enter access data. In principle, you can also access all information on our websites if you have deactivated cookies in your Internet browser. If you do not accept cookies, this can lead to functional restrictions of our offers.

You give your consent by clicking on "Accept all" or as part of the individual settings you have made. Your data may then also be processed in third countries outside the EU, such as the USA, which do not have a comparable level of data protection as in the EU and where, in particular, access by local authorities may not be effectively prevented. The legal basis for this is Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you do not agree to this, you can change your consent at any time.

Below you will find detailed information about the individual services on our website:

Contact form

thyssenkrupp Decarbon Technologies GmbH processes the following data about you to process your request if you provide it in the contact form: Title, first name, surname, e-mail, street, zip code, city, telephone number and the content of your request. We will pass on your personal data to recipients if this is necessary to fulfill your request. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data depends on your request and may result from a contract with you (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or on the basis of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) of our legitimate interest in providing you with a good service. We are supported in the operation of our contact form by our IT service providers as processors. We process your data - if the processing is based on your consent - until you withdraw your consent or - if the processing is based on a balancing of interests - until you object to this or for the purpose of your request until it has been dealt with. It is not possible to process your request without providing the data required to contact you and to understand and process your request. The other information is voluntary. This service is only intended for persons over the age of 18.

If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), you can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. If we process your personal data on the basis of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), you can object to the processing at any time with effect for the future.

In addition, we process the "referrer" information as part of your use of the contact form (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), which is deleted after 4 weeks at the latest. Without the collection of this information, it is not technically possible to use the contact form.

Please note that inquiries are processed via the Microsoft Dynamics program and your data is stored there as part of your request.

Your data protection rights

You have the right to request information about the personal data stored about you in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In addition, you can request the correction or deletion of your data in accordance with Art. 16 and 17 GDPR. You may also have the right to restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR and the right to receive the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. If you have given us your consent to data processing, you can revoke this at any time without any formal requirements and without any adverse effects. Please note that the revocation has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation and that it does not extend to such data processing for which another permission exists and which may therefore also be carried out without your consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact the controller or data protection officer named below.

In accordance with Art. 77 GDPR, you also have the option of lodging a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Information about your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 General Data Protection Regulation (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 point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests); this also applies to any profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(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 defense of legal claims. The objection can be made informally and should preferably be addressed to the controller or data protection officer named below in the privacy policy.
