Privacy Policy

Data Protection Policy

Thank you for visiting our website and for the interest you have shown in our company and our products. Protecting your privacy while processing your personal data and maintaining the security of all business data is an important issue to us that we take into account in all our business processes. The personal data that we collect from you during your visit to our website is processed confidentially and only in accordance with statutory provisions. Data protection and information security form part of our company policy. The websites accessible via the adico-polydiamond.com domain are provided by ADICO. ADICO websites may contain links to websites of other providers which are not covered by this data protection policy.

Personal data are those items of data that make it possible to identify you. Here the issue is not whether it is possible to identify you based on a single piece of information. The more information and data that can be combined, the more accurately the person can be identified. Personal data include, e.g., the name, address, age, e-mail address and telephone number of a person.

1. Collection, processing and storage of personal data by ADICO

ADICO collects, processes and saves your personal data only if these actions are permitted by statutory regulations or you have given your consent. We obtain these data in two ways: either you provide the data to us or we collect the data during the utilisation of our services.
The provision of personal data as part of this website is prescribed neither by law nor by contract, nor is it necessary in order to enter into an agreement. However, there are some services of this website or that we otherwise offer that you will not be able to use if you do not provide data.

1.1. Data you share with us

Generally speaking, you can use our website without directly providing us with personal information. For some services, we will ask you to provide personal information that is needed for us to be able to provide the service, or so that we can carry out the respective service quickly and in a user-friendly manner. Detailed information on all of the services that are offered by ADICO on this website can be found under “Individual services” (see below in section 3).

1.2. Data we obtain during your utilisation of our services

Some data are produced automatically and for technical reasons when you visit our website. The following information is acquired without any action on your part and saved until it is deleted automatically:

  • IP address,
  • Web browser used, including language and browser software version
  • Operating system and the respective interface
  • Web page from which access is made (Referrer URL)
  • Date and time of the access.
The data stated are processed by us for the following purposes:
  • To ensure the smooth establishment of a connection to the website,
  • To ensure our website is pleasant to use,
  • To evaluate the system security and system stability.
  • To evaluate statistics

The legal basis for the processing of the data is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest stems from the purposes stated above for collecting the data. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected to identify you.

We also use cookies when you visit our website. You will find more detailed explanations in point 2 of this data privacy statement.

1.3. Forwarding of data

In general, we do not pass on personal data to third parties. If data is transferred to third parties in individual cases, then the transfer is carried out on the basis of appropriate agreements.

In individual cases, it may be necessary for us to transfer information to recipients in so-called “third countries” for other purposes, such as the execution of contracts. “Third countries” are countries outside of the European Union or the Agreement on the European Economic Area, where it cannot necessarily be assumed that there is a level of data protection comparable to that within the European Union. If the information that is transferred includes personal data, prior to any such transfer, we will ensure that the third country or the recipient in the third country guarantees the necessary adequate level of data protection. This may in particular result from an “adequacy decision” granted by the European Commission, which determines that there is an adequate level of data protection for a specific third country as a whole. Alternatively, we can base the transfer of data on “EU standard contractual clauses” that have been agreed with a data recipient. Further information on appropriate and adequate safeguards necessary for ensuring a sufficient level of data protection is available upon request.

Further information on EU standard contractual clauses can be found via https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en and information on adequacy decisions via https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en.

Through appropriate measures and regular controls, we ensure that the data we collect cannot be viewed or accessed by unauthorized persons from outside.

If we obtain your consent for certain online marketing measures (e.g. tracking or newsletters), the legal basis for the processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Insofar as the data processing takes place initiation and/or for the fulfillment of a contract with you, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Otherwise, the data processing is based on the legal basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, according to which the processing of personal data is possible even without the consent of the data subject, if the processing is necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, override. Here, we invoke our interest in direct marketing pursuant to Recital 47 a.E. GDPR. Our legitimate interest also follows from the fact that specific online marketing measures enable us to ensure the effectiveness of the campaigns we create and the effective use of the resources deployed for this purpose.

If you do not want HubSpot to collect and process the aforementioned data, you can refuse your consent or revoke it at any time with effect for the future. To do so, simply use the cookie banner.

In addition, you have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest. Details can be found in chapter 4.3 of this privacy notice. 

Furthermore, we delete the personal data collected via HubSpot as soon as the purpose for which it was collected has been achieved, unless legal retention periods prevent deletion.

If you make use of your right to object, we will cease the processing of the related data.

5. Retention period

Generally speaking, we retain personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes of processing, or we have a legitimate interest in such retention and your interests in not retaining the data do not outweigh our own.

As soon as personal data is no longer required for the purposes of processing, or retention of this data is not legally permissible, we will delete any personal data without the data subject needing to intervene.

Personal data that we are required to retain in order to fulfil our retention obligations will be retained until the end of the respective retention requirement. If we retain personal data exclusively for the fulfilment of retention requirements, any processing in this respect is generally restricted, so that the data can only be accessed if this should be necessary in relation to the legal obligation to retain data.>
