Purposes for which personal data are processed and their legal basis
Cookies & Co.
BME wishes to be open and transparent about how we use cookies when you visit one of our websites. Some of the cookies we use are essential to the operation of our websites, but there are also cookies which you can permit or block, as you see fit. We aim to provide you with the fullest possible information about the type of cookies we use so that you can make an informed choice about which ones you will or will not allow.
If necessary, we request and document your consent to the setting of cookies. The legal basis is point (a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, § 25, Para. 1, S.1 TTDSG. For this purpose, we process log file data, user agent (device, browser type, browser language, browser version, resolution) and consent data (consent yes/no, timestamp, data scope, data attributes, controllerID, processorID, consentID) using Javascript.
The data is stored in the European Union. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the proof of the information provided and consent to the cookies and there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.
You can permanently prevent the execution of the JavaScript at any time by making the appropriate settings in your browser. However, this would also prevent us from informing you about cookies.
Log files
When you visit our websites, BME stores the IP address, the time of access, the URL requested and the browser used. BME uses this data to detect errors in the execution of the pages and to ensure the IT security of websites and applications as well as their availability. The data is deleted after 90 days. The legal basis for this is point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR.
Social media
Some of the social media icons merely contain links to BME's appearances on these platforms, without any data being transmitted by their activation. If we would like to show you content from social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) and data could be collected from the social media platforms as a result, we will ask you for your consent in advance (point (a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR).
Website Login
BME offers a range of digital services. Access to these is via a personal account using the authentication portal, as a single sign-on system. To open an account, you need to enter your data, including title, name, e-mail address and country. Depending on the services used, further details may be required. If the use of the personal account involves the transfer of data to foreign affiliates of BME, we will inform you of this in advance. The legal basis is point (b) of Article 6 (1) GDPR. You can delete your personal account at any time, but you will then no longer be able to use the digital services.
Recipients of personal data
Only those recipients that have a compelling need to access your data in accordance with the above-mentioned purposes will be granted access to it. In this context, order processors and other service providers used by us may also receive data. These are companies in the category of IT services, call centre services and telecommunications. We have concluded the legally required contractual regulations with them in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, on purpose limitation, confidentiality and, where necessary, secrecy. Beyond this, we only pass on data if regulations permit or require this or you have consented to this.
Transfer to third country
Depending on your use of website login, data may be transmitted to recipients in third countries. However, as mentioned above, we will inform you of this in advance. In the context of remote maintenance of standard IT components, it cannot be ruled out in individual cases that an IT service provider from a third country may, in rare cases and to a limited extent, gain access to personal data for troubleshooting purposes. However, data will only be transferred if the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission as having an adequate level of data protection or has concluded EU standard contractual clauses.
Your rights under GDPR
With regard to the personal data concerning you, you have the following rights under the GDPR:
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not your data are being processed and about how we collect, process and store this data, Article 15 GDPR.
You can demand the rectification of inaccurate data or completion of incorrect or incomplete data, Article 16 GDPR.
According to Article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to demand the erasure of data, e.g. if the data is no longer required or is being processed unlawfully, if you have withdrawn your consent or declared an objection to the processing. Under certain circumstances, erasure can only take place when there are no longer any legal obligations to archive data.
You can also request the restriction of data processing under the conditions of Article 18 GDPR.
In certain cases, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. At the same time, you have the right to transfer this data to another controller or, if technically feasible, to have it transferred by us, Article 20 GDPR.
Pursuant to Article 7 (3) GDPR, you may revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.
Pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or a third party (point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR), unless we can prove compelling reasons for the processing that merit protection.
