With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our Internet pages without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the "AICHELIN Ges.m.b.H.". By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by mail.
You can also take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. For this reason, we would like to provide you with some tips on how to handle your data securely:
Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, your own name or names of relatives, but upper and lower case, numbers and special characters.
The responsible party in the sense of the DS-GVO is:
AICHELIN Ges.m.b.H., Fabriksgasse 3, 2340 Mödling, Österreich
Representative of the responsible: The managing director(s)
E-mail: [email protected]
You can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection.
The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance Maker when issuing the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the 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
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
3. Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, 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 limiting their future processing.
5. Profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person's job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.
6. Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person..
7. Order Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
8. Receiver
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.
9. Third Party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.
10. Consent
Consent is any expression of will in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative act, given voluntarily by the data subject for the specific case in an informed manner and unambiguously, by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Article 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO (in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TDDDG) serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in 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 a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DS-GVO.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d DS-GVO.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).
We do not transfer your personal data 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 Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO,2. the disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) (f) DS-GVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c DS-GVO, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.
In order to protect your data and to allow us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) DS-GVO may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 DS-GVO.
A transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below does not take place.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
1. you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DS-GVO,
2. the disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) (f) DS-GVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c DS-GVO, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you.
As part of the processing operations described in this Privacy Policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ Schrems II). To protect your data, we have concluded commissioned 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 pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) DS-GVO may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 DS-GVO.
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 requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a "https://" instead of a "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.2 Data collection when visiting the website
When you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call of a page by you or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can 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 arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
4. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of an access to the Internet site,6. an abbreviated Internet protocol address (anonymized IP address) as well as,
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. This information is rather required in order to
1. deliver the contents of our Internet site correctly,
2. optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
3. to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
Therefore, we evaluate these data and information on one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.
7.3 Cloudflare (Content Delivery Network)
Our website uses functions from CloudFlare. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc. 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.
CloudFlare offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. Technically, the transfer of information between your browser and our website is routed through CloudFlare's network. CloudFlare is thus able to analyze the data traffic between users and our websites, for example, to detect and prevent attacks on our services. In addition, CloudFlare may store cookies on your computer for optimization and analysis.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When disabling cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
We have concluded a corresponding agreement with Cloudflare on the basis of the DS-GVO for order processing or according to EU standard contractual clauses. Cloudflare collects statistical data about visits to this website. The access data includes: Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type along with version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. Cloudflare uses the log data for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer.
If you have consented to Cloudflare being used, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO. In addition, there is a legitimate interest on our part to use Cloudflare to optimize our online offer and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. The personal data will be kept for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose of processing. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose.
This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. There is hereby an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 DS-GVO, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

13.1 Google AdSense
We have integrated Google AdSense into this website. The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of advertisements on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party websites to match the content of the respective third-party website. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of internet users, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on your IT system. Setting the cookie enables Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by us and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated is accessed, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and commission billing. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in websites to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows statistical evaluation to be carried out. The embedded tracking pixel enables Alphabet Inc. to recognise whether and when a website was opened by your IT system and which links you clicked on. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the visitor flow of a website.Google AdSense transmits personal data and information, including your IP address, which is necessary for recording and billing the advertisements displayed, to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the express consent of the data subject in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

13.2 Google Ads with conversion tracking
We have integrated Google Ads into this website. The operating company of Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows advertisers to specify certain keywords in advance, which are used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user enters a keyword-relevant search result in the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the predefined keywords.The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and to display third-party advertising on our website.If you access our website via a Google ad, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on your IT system. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify you. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping basket of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website, provided that the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a user who has accessed our website via an AdWords ad has generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. We in turn use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads and to optimise our Ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via technical procedures to third parties.These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR has been made, so that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.You can view the data protection provisions and further information from Google AdSense at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
14.1 Google Maps
We use Google Maps (API) on our website. Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
