1. Using the website and our IT systems (maintenance and security)


Purposes of processing
In order to operate and maintain our IT systems and the company website, to ensure data security and to prevent abusive or fraudulent behaviour, we process our users' personal data solely as required for the provision of our services and its contents.

Legal bases and (substantial) legitimate interests
We process your data for pre-contractual provisions or contractual duties (such as fulfilling the terms and conditions, terms of use and article 6, paragraph 1, lit. b of the GDPR) to the extent legally required (article 6, paragraph 1, lit. c of the GDPR, e.g. consent to authorise cookies and ensuring the appropriate level of data security), as well as for the following (substantial) legitimate interests, based on article 6, paragraph 1, lit. f of the GDPR):

  • ensuring a fullyfunctional and attractive representation online,
  • maintaining data security,
  • efficient internal administration within the company / group.


Receivers or receiver categories and transfers to third countries or international organisations
Transfers are not intended but users of our services and published data (such as comments) are, however, public and potentially accessible worldwide. If required, the data may be transferred to prosecution authorities, courts etc. for asserting legal claims made by the controller or third parties.

We use the services of the following processors:

Google Analytics
Our site uses Google Analytics, a web based analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To deactivate Google Analytics, Google provides a browser plug-in at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Google Analytics uses Cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow us to store specific information regarding the user on their device while they use the website. This allows analysis of the use of our web page via Google. The information collected by the cookie about the use of our pages (including your IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We wish to make clear that Google Analytics has been extended on this website using the code 'gat._anonymizelp();' in order to provide an anonymised record of IP addresses (known as IP masking). If anonymisation is active, Google abbreviates all IP addresses within European Union Member States or in other signatory countries to the EEA Agreement, so that no assumptions can be made about to your identity. In exceptional cases only, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. Google complies with the data protection provisions of the "Privacy Shield" agreement. It is registered with the US Department of Trade's Privacy Shield programme and uses collected information to examine usage of our website, to compile reports for us in relation to this usage, and to provide us with other related services. You can find more information at http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

tawk.to
This website collects and stores anonymised data for the purposes of web analysis and in order to operate the Live Chat system for answering Live Support enquiries. This technology is provided by tawk.to inc., 187 East Warm Springs Rd, SB298 Las Vegas, NV 89119 (www.tawk.to). This anonymised data can be used to create pseudonym profiles. Cookies can be used for this purpose. These are small text files which are saved locally on the website user's computer, thus (potentially) allowing the user to be recognised in the event of a repeat visit to our website. The pseudonymised user profiles will not be associated with personal data regarding the bearer of the pseudonym without the separate and explicit permission of the data subject. Technical measures are taken to ensure that IP addresses are anonymised automatically. You can prevent any form of web analysis by changing the appropriate settings on your browser (e.g. handling of Cookies).

This serves to differentiate whether entries are made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing.
The service includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Cloudflare for the Turnstile service to Cloudflare.
We use Cloudflare Turnstile in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and avoiding abuse and spam.

Newsletter
On our website, you have the option of signing up for Felder KG's free newsletter via our contact form. The newsletter gives information about current offers, new products, special promotions and exclusive savings with respect to our range of goods and services. As part of this service, and on the basis of your consent, we will gather and process additional information about this (known collectively as usage data).

We use what is known as a "tracking pixel" in order to conduct statistical analyses for our newsletter. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format in order to allow log files to be recorded and analysed. This means that newsletter campaigns can be evaluated. With this tracking pixel, we can identify whether or not an e-mail has been opened by the person in question. Additionally, we also see which links are clicked most often by our recipients, which in turn allows us to optimise the content of the newsletters and adapt to the recipients' interests. The legal basis for processing data once someone has subscribed to the newsletter is Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, given the consent of the user. We would like to note that when dispatching the newsletter, we work with the company Emarsys, which has its head office in Vienna (Märzstrasse 1, 1150 Vienna). The data is to be stored and processed exclusively within the European Union.
This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. If a data subject objects to this data collection, then at present, the only option is to unsubscribe from the newsletter.

In order to stay in touch with our clients, communicate with interested parties, and represent Felder KG, we appear on certain social media networks.
We use this data for the purposes of market research and advertising. For example, this includes advertising products and services offered by the company, taking measures to gain customers and to improve customer loyalty, improving our online and offline appearance and improving overall client communication. Users' personal data is therefore processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. As an operator on a social media network, we have a legitimate interest in providing users with information and communicating with users effectively.

We are entitled to store personal data on our servers unless permission is withdrawn. This means that your data will be stored at least until the termination of the business relationship or until the end of the applicable guarantee, warranty, limitation and statutory retention dates; moreover, the data may be stored until the termination of any legal disputes that may require data as evidence. In the case of services for which compensation claims may be asserted in accordance with the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) or other legislation (such as product liability), we store this data for the required duration.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that there is no obligation to submit your data via social media channels. You are also very welcome to choose a different channel in order to contact us (Website, E-mail).

Facebook
On Facebook, we operate a fan page as a joint controller, as defined in Art. 26 of the GDPR. In accordance with this agreement, Facebook is responsible for fulfilling most of the duties relating to data protection legislation, especially for complying with obligations to maintain transparency, data security, reporting data breaches and asserting the rights of data subjects. If you get in contact with us regarding these issues, we will pass your enquiries on to Facebook. Facebook complies with its duty to provide information on "Insights" here.


In the proceedings C-210/16 on 5 June 2018, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that when using "Page Insights" during the operation of a fan page, the responsibility is held jointly by the operator and Facebook. Within Europe, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland is responsible for matters concerning data privacy.

Alongside Facebook, we are jointly responsible for the data processing, insofar as we are able to influence the processing Facebook undertakes on your data. 
For all processing for which Facebook takes sole responsibility, we refer you to the company's data privacy policy.

As the owner of the fan page, we have no influence over the processing of your data but we can use this data to segment our posts. In this process, we analyse the data according to the following criteria:

  • Categories of data subjects: fans and subscribers, grouped according to gender, urban or rural regions and language.
  • User activity statistics: total number of page views, number of "Likes", use of posts and content on our pages, reach, video views, comments, shared content, responses, time users spend on the page, data regarding end devices.
  • Data regarding the Facebook groups linked to our Facebook page.


If you subscribe to our fan page or become a fan, it will be possible to access your Facebook profile in accordance with Facebook's terms of service and your privacy settings. Facebook collects your data for purposes including processing statistics for Insights in accordance with its data privacy policy. We have no say over this processing and can make decisions for evaluations only in the case of non-personal statistics on the basis of predetermined criteria.
Using the content collected, usage profiles can be compiled that can then in turn be used for adverts within and beyond the social media channel. This process is made possible through the use of cookies, which are stored on the user's computer. However, data pertaining to social media users can also be stored by the provider elsewhere, particularly when these users are registered and signed in to their social media account.
Generally, there will be no further processing of your data for other purposes. Nevertheless, depending on the purposes of communication, it may be necessary to process the data further, in accordance with our general privacy statement, available on our Homepage.

You can raise an objection to the processing in our area of responsibility at any time by deleting your own comments and likes or deleting a link you set up to our fan page, or by getting in contact with us (see the section on "Data subjects' rights"). For more information on your right to object or withdraw consent in relation to processing undertaken by Facebook, please contact that company. You can submit an objection to processing for which Facebook is responsible here: www.facebook.com or www.youronlinechoices.com.

Content and likes etc. published and shared by users on our fan page can be viewed throughout the world. Facebook also processes data outside the European Union on the basis of the "Privacy Shield" and the relevant adequacy decision, in accordance with Art. 45 of the GDPR. Facebook is therefore obliged to comply with the European data privacy regulations. You can find additional information about Facebook's Privacy Shield status here. We have no influence over the data collection and processing undertaken by Facebook for the "Insights" tool.

Instagram
Felder KG uses some features of the Instagram service on its website. Instagram is an online service for sharing photos and videos and belongs to Facebook. It operates as a mixture between a microblog and an audio-visual platform, allowing its users to circulate data in other social media networks.
The provider of Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.

We are responsible for the processing of data insofar as we are able to influence this processing.  For all processing for which Instagram takes sole responsibility, we refer you to that company's data policy.
Visiting our website activates certain Instagram features that make it possible to gather information on user behaviour. If the user in question is logged in to Instagram at the same time, this data can be matched with their user profile, in which case the data is processed and stored by Instagram. If you do not consent to this user profile being created, you can prevent it by logging out before visiting our website.

If a data subject objects to the processing of data located within our sphere of responsibility, they can first delete their own comments and likes, and they can also "unfollow" our page (for more information, see the section on "Data subjects' rights"). For more information on your right to object or withdraw consent in relation to data processing undertaken by Instagram, we ask that data subjects get in contact with that company (Data policy).
Posts that users have reacted to with a "heart" and shared content can potentially be viewed throughout the world. Instagram, like its parent company Facebook, processes data outside the European Union on the basis of the "Privacy Shield" and the corresponding adequacy decision, in accordance with Art. 45 of the GDPR. Instagram and Facebook are therefore obliged to comply with the European data privacy regulations. You can find additional information about Instagram's Privacy Shield status here.

LinkedIn
We have incorporated features by the company LinkedIn on this website. This platform is a social media network intended for cultivating existing business contacts and establishing new business relations.

Every time the website is visited, the LinkedIn features are downloaded to show a corresponding image of the browser in use. During this process, LinkedIn receives information about which sub-pages have been visited. You can look up more information about LinkedIn plugins here.
If a data subject is logged on to LinkedIn at the same time, the platform will receive information about user behaviour (e.g. which sub-pages are visited, how long the user spends on them, etc.). If plugins are activated, this information can also be matched to the relevant user's account. If users do not want this information to be transferred to LinkedIn, it is possible to log out before visiting our website.

The platform offers the option of unsubscribing from targeted advertising through personal preferences regarding e-mails and text messages. LinkedIn works with companies such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may use cookies. You can opt out of the use of such cookies here. Applicable data privacy regulations and cookie policies can be found here: Privacy policy | Cookie policy.
Posts that users have reacted to with a "like" and shared content can potentially be viewed throughout the world.

If the data subject is logged on to Pinterest at the same time, this data can be matched up with their user account. If you do not want this, we recommend logging out of Pinterest before visiting our website.
Public pins and pin boards are visible to everyone. This means that if data subjects object to this data processing, they should create private pin boards, and they should no longer follow the themes that we publish.

Pinterest is a global service. This means that data can also be stored and processed outside the European Union. In the EEA, however, the company is certified by the "Privacy Shield", which means that the European data privacy regulations must be complied with. You can find out more here.

Twitter
We have integrated some Twitter features on our website. Twitter is a microblog service owned by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900 in CA 94103 San Francisco, USA. On this platform, users can publish short and snappy messages ("tweets").
We are responsible for the processing of data only insofar as we are able to influence this processing. You can read more detailed regulations about Twitter's data privacy policies here.
