Privacy policy
1. Introduction
With the following information, we would like to give you as a “data subject” an overview of how we process your personal data and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary for us to process your personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to “Pokolm Frästechnik GmbH & Co. KG”. With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as securely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions are always susceptible to security risks to some extent, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.
You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:
- Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.
- Only you should have access to the passwords.
- Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
- Do not use the same password for different websites, applications or online services.
- This applies in particular to the use of publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other persons: You should always log out after logging in to a website, application or online service.
Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives. Instead, they should contain a combination of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions
The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We want our privacy policy to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
1. Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
2. Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
3. Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, filing, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
4. Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
5. Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
6. Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7. Data processor
A data processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
8. Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.
9. Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
10. Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
5. Legal basis of the processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (in conjunction with Section 25(1) of the German Teleservices Data Protection Act (TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our company premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Lastly, processing operations may also be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Our products and services are generally aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.
6. Transmission of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR,
2. the disclosure of data pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR is permitted to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
3. there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, or
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
In order to protect your data and to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer of data to third countries in accordance with Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Article 45 GDPR.
7. Technology
7.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” instead of “http://” in the website’s URL and by the padlock symbol in your browser address bar.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.2 Data collection when visiting the website
If you only use our website for information purposes, do not register or otherwise provide us with information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect the data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is data that your browser regularly transmits to our server (in “server log files”). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded:
1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (known as the “referrer”),
4. the subpages that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of access to the website,
6. an Internet Protocol address (IP address) and,
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to
1. deliver the content of our website correctly,
2. optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
This data and information that is collected is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest stems from the data collection purposes listed above.
7.3 Encrypted payment transactions
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., your account number when issuing a direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a chargeable contract, this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions made using the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard or direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” instead of “http://” in the website’s URL and by the padlock symbol in your browser address bar.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.4 Hosting by Strato
We host our website with Strato AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin (hereinafter referred to as Strato).
When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g., IP addresses in log files) are processed on Strato’s servers.
The use of Strato is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is displayed and provided as reliably as possible and that it is secure.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Strato in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that Strato processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
You can find more information about Strato’s privacy policy at: https://www.strato.de/datenschutz/
8. Cookies
8.1 General information about cookies
Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.
Information is stored in the cookie that results from the connection with the specific end device used in each case. However, this does not mean that we will immediately become aware of your identity.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness; these cookies are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically recognize that you have already visited us and remember which entries and settings you made so that you do not have to enter them again.
Additionally, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our products and services for you for the purpose of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage duration of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.
8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies
The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
9. Contents of our website
9.1 Data processing for the processing of orders
The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the processing of the contract, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the authorized credit institution in the scope of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we provide explicit information about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
9.2 Contacting us / contact form
Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g., via a contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected when a contact form is used can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for contacting you and performing the associated technical administrative work. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
9.3 Application management / job board
We collect and process the personal data of job applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 6(1)(b), 88 GDPR in conjunction with. Section 26(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
10. Newsletters
10.1 Advertising newsletter
On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you order the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.
We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. In principle, you can only receive our company’s newsletter if
1. you have a valid e-mail address and
2. you have registered to receive the newsletter.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you first entered for the newsletter subscription using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter can be revoked at any time. There is a link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
11. Our activities in social networks
So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own channels and pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations relating to this, within the meaning of Article 26 GDPR.
We are not the original provider of these websites, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precautionary measure, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult for you to protect your rights, e.g., your rights to information, deletion, objection and so on, and processing in social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or to analyze user behavior by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used and your user behavior may be assigned to your own social network member profile.
The processing operations of personal data described here are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis is provided by Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR.
As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g., your right to information, correction, deletion, and so on) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in social networks is provided below by the respective social network provider we use:

12. Web analysis
12.1 Google Analytics Universal
On our websites, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see “Cookies”) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as
1. the browser type/version,
2. the operating system used,
3. the referrer URL (the previously visited page),
4. the host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and
5. the time of the server request,
is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to analyze the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that the data cannot be assigned (IP masking).
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl).
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

13. Partner and affiliate programs
13.1 DoubleClick
This website contains components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a trademark of Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), under which special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to place and display user-relevant advertising and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. The cookie is also used to avoid multiple displays of the same advert.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advert in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which adverts have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplication. The cookie ID also enables DoubleClick to record conversions.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact.
Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website.
These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

14.2 Google Photos
We use the Google Photos service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to store images that are embedded on our website.
Embedding is the integration of specific third-party content (text, video or image data) that is provided by another website (Google Photos) and then appears on the website in question (our website). A so-called embedding code is used for embedding. If we have integrated an embedding code, the external content from Google Photos is displayed immediately by default as soon as one of our web pages is visited.
Your IP address is transmitted to Google Photos via the technical implementation of the embedding code that enables the display of images from Google Photos. Google Photos also records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Google Photos may collect information regarding which of our subpages you have visited and which links you have clicked on, as well as other interactions you have carried out when visiting our site. This data can be stored and analyzed by Google Photos.
These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
This US company is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This tool can be used to implement website tags (i.e., keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) and manage them via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you.
The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have made a deactivation at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

As with any other website, Yumpu receives your IP address as well as information about your web browser, operating system, date and time of access and the so-called referrer data, i.e., information about the page from which you came to the website with the Yumpu components, provided that the referrer data is not masked by your browser.
The use of Yumpu is based on our legitimate interest in offering an attractive presentation of our website and products within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

In individual cases, we process personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a task carried out in the public interest.
