Hinke Tankbau takes the protection of personal data very seriously and will treat your personal data in the strictest confidence and in accordance with the respective legal regulations.

  • Site visited on our domain
  • Date and time of the server enquiry
  • Type and version of browser used
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • IP address

A combination of this data with other data sources will not be made. The basis for processing personal data is Article 6 (1f) GDPR.

Your personal data will not be used for any other purpose or transferred to third parties.  According to the information of our provider, the log files will be deleted after seven days.


Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your computer. Cookies enable us to make visiting our website more attractive and allow the use of certain functions. Some cookies are session cookies. Such cookies are deleted automatically at the end of the browser session. Conversely, other cookies remain on your computer until you delete them. These cookies allow us to automatically recognise your computer during your next visit. When using a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured to ensure that cookies are deleted automatically when closing the program. However, please note that by refusing the use of cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. The setting of cookies, which are necessary for executing electronic communication processes or providing certain functions desired by you, is based on Article 6 (1f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in ensuring its best possible functionality as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the website visit. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), they will be dealt with separately in this data privacy policy.

Contact form

Data provided via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for any follow-up questions. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request based on Article 6 (1f) GDPR. If your contact refers to the performance of a contract, the legal basis for processing this data is based on Article 6 (1f) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after processing your request. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. Statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – shall be unaffected.


Facebook

This website uses Facebook social plugins operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). These plugins can be recognised by the Facebook logo or by the terms “Like” and “Share” in the Facebook colours (blue and white). For information on all Facebook plugins, click the following link: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

We use the “DoubleClick” solution to better protect your personal data. As such, the plug-ins are initially deactivated. Use of the “DoubleClick” solution prevents connection to the Facebook servers being established when opening this website. When activating the plugins, which results in giving your consent (Article 6 (1a) GDPR) to data transmission, a connection to the Facebook servers is established. The plugin transmits data, including your IP address, to Facebook. The website operator has no influence on the type and scope of the data that the plugin transmits to the Facebook servers. 
In our opinion, Facebook receives information about which websites you are currently and have previously visited. By integrating plugins, Facebook also receives information about your browser having accessed the respective page of our website. This refers to visitors who do not have a profile on Facebook or are not currently logged into Facebook. The data collected (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook Inc. server in the USA and stored there. Interaction with the plugins is transmitted directly to the Facebook servers and stored there. Interactions will also be posted on Facebook and displayed there to your contacts. 

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. However, this revocation has no influence on the data that has already been transmitted to Facebook.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and setting options for protecting your privacy, please visit Facebook’s privacy policy: www.facebook.com/policy.php


YouTube

This website uses embedded videos to display and play videos of the YouTube platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04E5W5, Ireland. We provide these videos to better showcase our product portfolio and to give our customers an insight into our manufacturing and logistics processes.

We use the embedded videos in the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, activates the collection, processing and storage of personal data only when the videos are played back. When playing the respective YouTube video, YouTube sets cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to information, YouTube cookies are used  to capture video statistics, prevent fraud and improve user friendliness. If you are signed in to Google and click on a video, the data may be linked directly to your Google account. If you do not want the information to be linked or assigned to your Google account, log out of your Google account in advance. Google nevertheless creates a user profile (even for users who are not logged in) and evaluates it. The basis for processing this data is Article 6 (1f) GDPR. Google has a legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising, market research and designing its website. You have the right to object to the collection and processing of these user profiles (right of objection). You must send your objection to YouTube directly. Please note that when using YouTube, personal data may also be sent to the servers of Google LLC. (USA). 

Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played back, every time you visit this website a connection to Google servers may be established, which could trigger further data processing without our influence.

Further information on YouTube’s data privacy policy can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

We have obtained your consent to process your personal data pursuant to Article 6 (1a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent provided to us at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the Consent Tool cookie used on the website. 
 

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google (Universal) Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your computer and which enable analysis of your website use. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website (including your abbreviated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. In this case, data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. 

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizelp()”. This guarantees anonymisation by abbreviating the IP address and consequently preventing the address being linked directly to an individual. In exceptional circumstances, the full IP address will be transmitted to and abbreviated on a server of Google LLC. in the USA. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with further services associated with the website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser when using Google (Universal) Analytics will not be combined with any other data from Google.

Our website uses the function “Demographic Characteristics” from Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the website users. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data from third-party providers. Mapping of the data to a specific person is not possible. The aforesaid processing, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies, will only be carried out if you have expressly consented to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 6 (1a) GDPR. Without your express consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the website. 

You can withdraw your consent provided to us at any time with effect for the future. Withdraw your consent provided to us by deactivating this service in the Consent Tool cookie used on the website. We have concluded a commissioned data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website visitors and to not transmit this data to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies in your web browser. However, please note that by refusing the use of cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your use of the website, including your IP address, and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible via the ad setting in your Google account and by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

For the transmission  of data from the EU to the USA, Google invokes so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are supposed to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The operator/provider of this website has no influence on this data transmission.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to ensure that the locations indicated by us on the website are easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1f) GDPR. Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is based exclusively on Article 6 (1f) GDPR; you can withdraw your consent provided to us at any time.

Further information concerning the handling of user data can be found in the data privacy policy of Google: policies.google.com/privacy.


MyFonts 

This website uses MyFonts, an Internet-based web design service provided by MyFonts from Monotype Imaging Holding Inc., 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA, to display text and fonts correctly. This means that your browser loads the required backgrounds (fonts) into your browser cache when you access a website.
 
MyFonts calculates its claim to remuneration for the provision of the fonts according to the number of website visits. We use a tracking pixel, i.e. a single-pixel image file, which is stored on our website, to enable access count measurement and to count website visits that have taken place. 

Insofar as personal data is processed during the described processing activity, it is done pursuant to Article 6 (1f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in determining the access figures for the proper determination of the remuneration claim. 

Further information on the MyFonts data privacy policy can be found at:

Processing of personal data

The website operator only processes your personal data if this is permitted by law or you have consented to the processing of personal data concerning you. Personal data refers to all information used to identify you, and which is traceable to you. You can also visit this website without having to reveal personal information. However, in order to improve our online service, we store (without any direct personal reference) your access data (see above) to this website. Anonymisation of the data does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. In principle, your personal data will not be transmitted to a country outside the European Union or to an international organisation. We do not use any automated decision-making processes pursuant to Article 22 GDPR. Should we use these processes in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately, insofar as this is required by law.


Application process

We only process applicant data for the purpose of and within the scope of the application process in accordance with the legal requirements. Applicant data is processed for the performance of a contract within the scope of the application process pursuant to Article 6 (1b) GDPR and Article 6 (1f) GDPR, insofar as data processing becomes necessary for us, e.g. within the scope of legal procedures (in Germany, Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act also applies).

The application process requires applicants to provide us with applicant data. The necessary applicant data can be found in the job descriptions. Basically, this includes personal information, postal and contact addresses and the documents belonging to the application, such as a cover letter, CV and certificates. In addition, applicants can provide us with additional information voluntarily. By submitting an application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their personal data for the purposes of the application process in the manner and to the extent set out in this data privacy policy. Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) GDPR are disclosed voluntarily within the scope of the application process, the processing of this data is additionally carried out pursuant to Article 9 (2b) GDPR (e.g. data concerning health data, such as severely disabled, or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) GDPR are requested within the scope of the application process, the processing of this data is additionally carried out pursuant to Article 9 (2a) GDPR (e.g. data concerning health data, if this data is necessary to exercise the profession). However, if applicants send their applications by email, please note that communication by email is not generally encrypted and the applicants themselves must ensure encrypted communication. We shall therefore accept no responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and our server. Instead of applying by email, applicants still have the option of sending their applications to us by post. In the event of a successful application, the data provided by the applicants may be further processed by us within the context of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the job application was unsuccessful, the personal data of the applicants will be deleted. The personal data of applicants will also be deleted if they withdraw their application; something they are entitled to do at any time. Subject to a justified revocation by the applicant, erasure will take place once the six-month retention period has elapsed. The personal data is stored for the purpose of processing any follow-up questions about the application and to furnish proof in proceedings under the General Treatment Act. As part of the application process, we offer some applicants the opportunity to be included in our “applicant pool” for a period of two years on the basis of the applicant’s consent within the meaning of Article 6 (1a) GDPR and Article 7 GDPR. A declaration of consent is sent to the respective applicant. The application documents in the applicant pool are processed exclusively within the framework of future job ads and the employee search and are erased at the latest once the deadline has passed. Applicants are informed that their consent to inclusion in the applicant pool is voluntary, has no influence on the current application process and that they can withdraw their consent provided to us at any time with effect for the future and have the right to object within the meaning of Article 21 GDPR.

Applicants will be provided with separate data protection information after receipt of their application documents.


Your data privacy rights

Since your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the data controller:

You have the right to information (pursuant to Article 15 GDPR) about the personal data concerning you that we have stored and how this data is processed, about any data transmission to other bodies and about the duration of the storage. You may also receive extracts or copies to exercise your right to information.

If the data is inaccurate or no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you may request the rectification (pursuant to Article 16 GDPR), erasure (pursuant to Article 17 GDPR) or restriction (pursuant to Article 18 GDPR) of personal data concerning you.

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction (pursuant to Article 16, 17 or 18 GDPR) of the processing of the data vis-à-vis the data controller, then the latter is obliged to communicate this rectification, erasure or restriction to all recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves to be impossible or would involve disproportionate effort. You have the right to demand that the data controller informs you about these recipients.

You have the right to data portability (pursuant to Article 20 GDPR). Accordingly, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to a data controller, in a standard, structured and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided if the processing is based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising this right to data portability, you shall also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This right shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

IF YOUR PARTICULAR PERSONAL SITUATION SHOULD GIVE RISE TO REASONS AGAINST THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT (PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 GDPR) TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU, PROVIDED THAT PROCESSING IS BASED ON A LEGITIMATE INTEREST. IN THIS CASE WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU UNLESS COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING ARE DEMONSTRATED.

If you have expressly consented to the processing of personal data concerning you (pursuant to Article 6 (1a) GDPR), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (pursuant to Article 7 (3) GDPR). The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. 

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the Member State where you reside, the Member State in which your place of work is located or where the alleged infringement took place, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Where possible, your applications made in exercise of your rights should be sent in writing to the address stated above or directly to our data protection officer. If you have any concerns or questions about the processing of personal data and information concerning you, you can contact our data protection officer (see above for contact details).


Storage period of personal data 

The storage period of personal data is determined by the legal basis, the purpose of processing and, under certain circumstances, the statutory retention periods.

 The legal basis for processing personal data is Article 6 (1a) GDPR: 
This data is stored until the data subject withdraws his or her consent. 

The legal basis for processing personal data is Article 6 (1b) GDPR: 
If there are statutory retention periods in conjunction with the performance of a contract which are processed pursuant to Article 6 (1b) GDPR, this personal data will be duly erased after expiry of the statutory retention period, insofar as it is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or entering into a contract. 

The legal basis for processing personal data is Article 6 (1f) GDPR: 
In the case of personal data processed pursuant to Article 6 (1f) GDPR, we retain this data until the data subject exercises his or her right to object. Unless our legitimate grounds for processing override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject. We will continue to process the personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. 

Insofar as no specific storage periods are specified in the above data protection information, stored personal data will be erased and no longer processed where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
