Privacy Statement
Privacy Statement
1. Introduction
With the following information we would like to give you as “person concerned” an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and of the rights resulting from the data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. If you want to use particular services of our company via our Internet site a processing of personal data might become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and if such a processing lacks a legal basis we will generally request your approval.
The processing of personal data, e.g. your name, address or e-mail address, will always be performed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR resp. DS-GVO) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable for “phg Peter Hengstler GmbH + Co. KG”. By means of this privacy statement we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the party responsible for the processing we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to make the protection of the personal data processed via this website as comprehensive as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transfers can always involve security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason you are free to transfer personal data to us via alternative channels, e.g. by phone or mail.

4. Definition of Terms
The privacy statement is based on terms that were used by the European issuer of directives and regulations when the General Data Protection Regulation was issued. Our privacy statement is formulated to be well readable and comprehensible for both our customers and business partners. To ensure this we would like to discuss the terms in advance.
Among other things, we use the following terms in this privacy statement:
1. Personal Data
Personal Data are all pieces of information that refer to an identified or identifiable natural person. A person is considered identifiable that can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by means of allocation to an identification such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identification or one or more special features which express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
2. Person Concerned
A person concerned is every identified or identifiable natural person whose data are processed by the party responsible for the processing (our company).
3. Processing
Processing is every process performed with or without the assistance of automated procedures or every such process sequence related to personal data such as the inquiry, collection, organisation, ordering, saving, adaptation or modification, reading, retrieval, usage by transfer, distribution or any form of provision, comparison or connection, limitation, deletion or destruction.
4. Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the goal to limit their further processing.
5. Profiling
Profiling is every kind of automated processing of personal data that consists in using these personal data in order to analyze or predict certain personal aspects related to a natural person, in particular aspects with respect to performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, residence or change of location.
6. Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in a way that the personal data can no longer be allocated to a specific person concerned without using additional information, if this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not allocated to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7. Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other place that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.
8. Recipient
The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other place that personal data are revealed to, no matter if this is a third party or not. Authorities that possibly obtain personal data within the framework of a particular investigation based on the law of the European Union or a member state are not considered as recipients.
9. Third Party
Third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other place except the person concerned, the person responsible, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the immediate responsibility of the person responsible or the processor.
10. Consent
Consent is any expression of will in form of a declaration given by the person concerned voluntarily, in an informed and unequivocal manner or any other unequivocal confirming action with which the person concerned makes it clear that he/she agrees with the processing of the personal data related to him/her.
5. Legal Basis of Processing
For our company art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in connection with § 15 para. 3 TMG resp. Telemedia Act) serves as the legal basis for processing procedures in case of which we request consent for a particular purpose of processing.
If the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a contract of which you are a contract partner, as it is the case in processing operations which are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of a further service or consideration the processing is based on art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are required for the execution of precontractual measures, e.g. in cases of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, e.g. to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the person concerned or another natural person. For example this would be the case if a visitor was injured in our company and his/her name, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be transferred to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In this case the processing would be based on art. 6 para. 1 lit.d GDPR.
In the end, processing operations might be based on art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above mentioned legal bases rest on this legal basis if the processing is required for the protection of a justified interest of our company or a third party insofar as the interests, basic rights and liberties of the person concerned do not prevail. We are allowed to perform such processing operations, in particular as they are explicitly mentioned by the European legislator. The latter has insofar taken the view that a justified interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
6. Transfer of Data to Third Parties
There is no transmission of your personal data to third parties for other purposes than those mentioned below.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
1. You have given your explicit consent to do so acc. art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR,
2. the transfer acc. art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR is permitted to safeguard our justified interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in case there is a legal obligation for the disclosure acc. art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR and
4. this is permitted by law and required for the processing of contractual relationships with you acc. art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR.
In order to protect your data and, if necessary, allow us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) we have concluded agreements on order processing on the basis of standard contractual clauses of the European Commission).
7. Technology
7.1 SSL/TLS Encryption
To guarantee the security of data processing and to protect the transfer of confidential contents such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send us as operators, this site uses SSL resp. TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection from the fact that the address line of the browser shows “https://” rather than “http://" and from the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.2 Data Collection during the Visit of the Website
If you just use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or transfer information to us in any other way we only gather such data that your browser transfers to our server (in so-called “server logfiles”). With each viewing of a page by you or an automated system our website gathers a series of general data and information. These general data and pieces of information are saved in the logfiles of the server. It is possible to gather
1. the 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 (a so-called referrer)
4. the subsites which are accessed on our website by an accessing system,
5. the date and time of an access to the website,
6. a shortened Internet protocol address (anonymized IP-address),
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using the general data and information we do not draw any conclusions about your person. In fact, this information is used
1. to correctly deliver the contents of our website,
2. to optimize the contents of our website and the advertisement for them,
3. to ensure the permanent functionality of our IT-systems and of the technology of our website and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities the information required for the prosecution in case of a cyber attack.
We evaluate these data and pieces of information gathered statically but also with the goal to increase data protection and data security in our company in order to finally ensure an optimum protection level for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server logfiles are saved separate from all personal data provided by a person concerned.
The legal basis of the data processing is art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our justified interest results from the purposes of data collection listed above.
8. Cookies
8.1 General Information on Cookies
We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser generates automatically; they are saved on your IT-system (laptop, tablet, smartphone) if you visit our site.
The cookie contains information that results from the respective end device used. This does not mean, however, that in doing so we immediately gain knowledge of your identity.
On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more agreeable for you. This is why we use so-called session cookies to find out that you have already visited particular pages of our website. Once you leave our site they are automatically deleted.
To optimize user-friendliness we also use temporary cookies which are saved on your end device for a defined period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services it is automatically recognized that you have been with us before, including your inputs and settings, so that you need not enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record and evaluate the use of our website in order to optimize our offer for you. These cookies allow us to automatically detect that you have been with us before if you visit us again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.
2. Legal Basis of the Use of Cookies
The data processed by cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of our website are thus required to safeguard our justified interests and those of third parties acc. art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
For all other cookies you have given your consent by our opt-in cookie banner in the sense of art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
9. Contents of our Website
9.1 Application Management / Job Platform
We gather and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of operating the application process. The processing can also be made in electronic form. This is especially the case if an applicant electronically transmits respective application documents, e.g. by e-mail or via web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant the data transmitted are saved for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the legal regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant the application documents are deleted two months upon notification of the decision of refusal unless there are any other justified interests on our part that prevent this. Other justified interest in this sense is, e.g., a burden of proof in a lawsuit under the General Equal Treatment Act (GETA).
The legal basis of processing your data is art. 88 GDPR in connection with § 26 para. 1 FDPA (Federal Data Protection Act).
10. Mailing of Newsletter
10.1 Mailing of Newsletter to Existing Customers
If you have provided your e-mail address when purchasing goods resp. services we reserve the right to regularly send you offers of similar goods resp. services as the ones already purchased from our product range by e-mail. Acc. § 7 para. 3 UCA (Unfair Competition Act) we need not request special consent for this purpose. Insofar the data processing is exclusively performed on the basis of our justified interest in personalized direct marketing acc. art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose there will be no mailing on our side. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the above advertising purpose at any time for the future by notifying the person responsible initially named. For this purpose, only transmission costs according to the basic tariffs will accrue for you. Upon reception of your objection the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.
10.2 Advertising Newsletter
On our website you will be granted the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data are transmitted to us when the newsletter is ordered.
Our newsletter informs our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals. In general, the newsletter of our company can only be received if
1. you have a valid e-mail address and
2. you have registered for the newsletter mailing.
For legal reasons, a confirmation mail in the double opt-in procedure will be sent to your e-mail address first entered for the mailing of the newsletter. This confirmation mail serves to check if you as holder of the e-mail address have authorized the reception of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter we also save the IP-address of the IT-system allocated by your Internet service provider (ISP) and used by you during the time of registration and the date and time of your registration itself. The collection of these data is necessary to be able to retrace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later stage and thus serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected within the framework of a registration for the newsletter are exclusively used to send the newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers of the newsletter can be informed via e-mail if this is required for the operation of the newsletter service or a respective registration, as this might happen in case of changes of the newsletter service or some change of the technical circumstances. No data collected within the framework of the newsletter service are transferred to third parties. The subscription of the newsletter can be terminated by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you gave us for mailing the newsletter can be revoked at any time. In every newsletter there is a respective link to revoke the consent. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website or to inform us accordingly in a different way.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR is the legal basis of data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter.
10.3 Evalanche
We use Evalanche to send our newsletter. Evalanche will not pass on the data designated here to third parties. Evalanche is an analysis service of SC-Networks GmbH, Würmstraße 4, 82319 Starnberg. Evalanche uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and allow to analyze your use of the newsletter. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the newsletter (including your IP-address) is read out and sent to a server in Germany.
The newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. This is a miniature graphics through which we can recognize if a newsletter has been opened by you or not. Within the framework of this retrieval first technical information such as information on the browser and your system, the end device used and the mail-client as well as your IP-address and time of retrieval is collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the service by means of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior by means of their places of retrieval (to be determined by the IP-address) or the times of access.
The statistical data collection also includes the information if the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, which links are clicked on and if the sending of the e-mail was successful. Beyond that the reading duration is recorded; this is performed on the basis of target groups. For technical reasons this information can be allocated to individual newsletter recipients, but it is neither our aspiration nor that of SC Networks/Evalanche to observe individual users. The evaluations rather serve to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents accordingly or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.
Such an evaluation is made in particular according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our justified interests in the display of personalized advertisement, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.
You can revoke your consent to the reception of our newsletter at any time. The unsubscription for this purpose can be made under the unsubscribe-link in every newsletter, in your personal mailing profile or by e-mail to phg@phg.de. You have the right to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time without the right of the previous data processing being affected.
11. Our Activities in Social Networks
To make it possible to communicate in social networks with you and inform about our services we are present with our own websites there. If you visit one of our social media sites we assume joint responsibility with the provider of the respective social media platform in the sense of art. 26 GDPR with respect to the processing operations triggered thereby relating to personal data.
In this case, we are not the original provider of these sites but only use them within the framework of the opportunities offered by the respective providers.
Therefore, as a matter of precaution we thereby inform you that your data may also be processed outside the European Union resp. the European Economic Area. The usage may therefore involve privacy risks for you because the protection of your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, revocation, etc., may be impeded and the processing in the social networks is often directly made for advertising purposes or to analyze the user behavior by the providers, while we are not able to influence this in any way. If user profiles are created by the provider cookies are often used resp. the user behavior is directly allocated to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here).
The processing operations of personal data described are made acc. art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our justified interest and of the justified interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a topical way resp. to inform you about our services. If you as a user have to submit a consent to data processing to the respective providers the legal basis refers to art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in connection with art. 7 GDPR.
As we have no access to the databases of the providers we point out that you best assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the opportunity to make use of your right to object resp. revoke (so-called opt-out) are listed below with the respective providers of social networks used by us:
11.1 XING
(Co-)responsible for the data processing in Germany:
XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany
Privacy statement: https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung
Information requests for XING members: https://www.xing.com/settings/privacy/data/disclosure
12. Web Analysis
Google Analytics
On our websites we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireand; subsequently "Google"). In this connection, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see item “cookies”) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as
1. browser type / version
2. operating system used,
3. referrer URL (the site visited before)
4. host name of the accessing computer (IP-address),
5. time of server request,
are transferred to a server of Google in the USA and saved there. The information is used to evaluate the usage of the website, compile reports about the website activities and render further services in connection with website and Internet use for purposes of market research and the needs-based design of these websites. Also, this information may be passed on to third parties if this is legally required or insofar as third parties process these data on behalf. Your IP-address will under no circumstances be brought together with other data from Google. The IP-addresses are anonymized in such a way that an allocation is not possible (IP-masking).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by a respective setting of the browser software; we would like to point out, though, that possibly not all functions of this website can be fully used in such a case.
These processing operations are only performed if you have given your explicit consent to do so acc. art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Moreover, you can prevent the collection and transfer of your data (incl. your IP-address) created by the cookie and related to your use of the website and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
Alternatively to the browser add-on, in particular with browsers on mobile end devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. An opt-out-cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data during visits of this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is placed in your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser you have to set the opt-out cookie again.
Further information on privacy in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics support (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
13. Advertisement
13.1 Google Ads with Conversion Tracking
We have integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in the search engine results of Google and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows advertisers to define certain key words in advance by means of which an ad in the search engine results of Google is only displayed when the user retrieves a keyword-releveant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network the ads are distributed by means of an automatic algorithm and under consideration of the previously defined keywords.
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is the operating company of the services of Google Ads.
The purpose of Google Ads is advertising for our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisement on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and a display of third-party advertising on our website.
If you get to our website via a Google ad Google places a so-called conversion cookie in your IT-system. A conversion cookie expires upon thirty days and does not serve to identify you. If the conversion cookie has not yet expired it can retrace if certain subpages, e.g. the shopping basket of an online shop system, was called on our website. By conversion cookies both Google and we can retrace if a user who has reached our website via an AdWords advertisement has generated turnover, i.e. performed or cancelled a purchase.
The data and information collected by using the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visitor statistics for our websites. In return, these visitor statistics are used by us to determine the total number of users who have been transferred to us via Ads advertisements, in other words to measure the success or failure of the respective Ads advertisements and to optimize them for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising clients obtain information from Google by means of which you can be identified.
The conversion cookie allows to save personal information, e.g. the websites you have visited. Thus, whenever our website is visited personal data, including the IP-address of the Internet connection you have used, are transferred to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may possibly pass on these personal data collected via the technological procedure to third parties.
You can prevent the placing of cookies by our website at any time by means of a respective setting of the Internet browser used and can thus permanently object to the placing of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie in your IT-system. Furthermore, a cookie already placed by Google Ads can be deleted by the Internet browser or other software at any time.
You also have the opportunity to object to interest-related advertising by Google. For this purpose, you have to call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from your Internet browser and choose the desired settings there.
These processing operations are only performed if you have given your explicit consent to do so acc. art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can call up further information and the current privacy statement of Google under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
14. Plugins and Other Services
14.1 Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookieless domain that does not collect personal data.
Through this tool “website tags” (i.e. tags included in HTML elements) can be implemented and administered via a surface. Through the use of the Google Tag Manager we can automatically retrace which button, link or which personalized image you actively clicked on and can then note which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.
Furthermore, the tool triggers other tags that might gather data on their part. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If you have performed a deactivation on domain or cookie level it continues to exist for all tracking tags that were implemented with Google Tag Manager.
These processing operations are only performed if you have given your explicit consent to do so acc. art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
14.2 Vimeo (Videos)
On our website plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated. When you call up a page of our website that includes such a plugin your browser sets up a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo. The content of the plugin is directly transmitted from Vimeo to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration Vimeo receives the information that your browser has called up the respective page of our website even if you do not have an account with Vimeo or are currently not logged in with Vimeo. This information (including your IP-address) is directly transmitted from your browser to a server of Vimeo in the USA and saved there.
If you are logged in with Vimeo this company can immediately allocate the visit of our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (e.g. confirmation of the start button of a video) this information is also directly transmitted to a server of Vimeo and stored there.
The data processing operations described are made acc. art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on the justified interest of Vimeo in market research and the needs-based design of the service.
If you do not want Vimeo to immediately allocate the data collected via our website to your Vimeo account you have to log out from Vimeo before visiting our website.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo and your respective rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please see the privacy statement of Vimeo: vimeo.com/privacy
With videos of Vimeo that are integrated into our website the tracking tool Google Analytics is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo’s own tracking which we cannot access and that cannot be influenced by our side. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for the tracking; these are text files that are saved on your computer and allow to analyze your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
These processing operations are only performed if you have given your explicit consent to do so acc. art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
