Information on data security
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Duration of storage
Unless the following description of the individual processing purposes does not contain any specific information on the storage period, we will store your personal data until the specific processing purpose no longer applies. If you revoke a consent granted to us or if your request for deletion is granted, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in this case, we will delete the data after these reasons no longer apply.

Transfer of personal data

HELORA Oberflächentechnik GmbH is entitled to transfer the user’s personal data to affiliated companies if this is necessary for the processing of the legal transaction or if the person concerned has consented to the transfer of data.
Even processors employed by us (Art. 28 DSGVO) may receive data for the above-mentioned purposes. These are in particular companies in the categories IT services and IT security.

Data transmission to third countries
Countries outside the European Union (and the European Economic Area “EEA”) handle the protection of personal data differently from countries within the European Union. In the event that data is transferred to third countries, we have taken appropriate measures to ensure that your data is processed as securely in the third countries as within the European Union. We conclude standard data protection clauses provided by the Commission of the European Union with service providers in third countries. These clauses provide appropriate guarantees for the protection of your data with service providers in third countries.
No data will be transferred to third countries during a only informative visit to our website without your consent.

Obligation to provide your personal data
