This website presents the companies of the NIQUA Group. For our online shops, the privacy policies of the respective operating company published there apply. For questions about data protection, please contact us at info@niquagroup.com.

2. Hosting and provision of the website

Our website is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, and delivered via its global network. When you access the website, technically necessary data is processed: IP address, date and time, page accessed, referrer URL, browser, operating system and device information. The purpose is to provide the website and ensure its stability and security, including protection against attacks and automated access. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and functional operation of the website. Cloudflare acts as our processor.

3. Cookies, fonts and tracking

We do not use cookies for analytics or marketing purposes, nor any tracking services. Cloudflare may set technically necessary cookies to protect against attacks and automated access (§ 25(2) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The font used is embedded locally; no connection to the servers of Google or other font providers is established when you access the website. Images and videos are delivered from our own server.

4. Contact form, dealer search and contact by email or phone

If you contact us via the contact form, the dealer search form, by email or by phone, we process your details (e.g. name, company, email address, phone number, country and your message) in order to answer your enquiry. Enquiries via the forms are transmitted via our server at Cloudflare to the responsible mailbox of the NIQUA Group; we use an email service provider as a processor for sending them. If your enquiry concerns a specific company of the NIQUA Group, we forward it to that company. For the dealer search, we name a dealer near you; we do not pass your data on to dealers without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete the data when it is no longer required for processing and no statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Job applications

If you apply to us via the form or by email, we process your details and application documents in order to carry out the application procedure. Only the persons involved in the selection process at the respective hiring company of the NIQUA Group have access. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG. If no employment relationship is established, we delete your documents six months after the end of the procedure, unless you have consented to longer storage (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

6. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send you information about new tools, catalogues and trade fair dates. We use the double opt-in procedure: after subscribing, you receive an email in which you confirm your subscription. As proof of consent, we store the time and IP address of the subscription and of the confirmation. We use GetResponse S.A., Grunwaldzka 413, 80-309 Gdańsk, Poland, as a processor for sending the newsletter. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter or by email to info@niquagroup.com. After you unsubscribe, we delete your address unless we need to retain it as proof of earlier consent.

7. Embedded videos (YouTube)

On some pages we embed videos from our YouTube channel. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The videos are only loaded when you click “Play”; before that, no data is transferred to YouTube. We use the privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). After your click, in particular your IP address, device and browser information and the page accessed are transmitted to YouTube, and YouTube may use cookies or similar technologies. A transfer to Google LLC in the USA is possible; Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is the consent you give by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG), which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future.

8. Links to social networks and online shops

Our website contains simple links to our profiles on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube and to our online shops. Data is only transferred when you click a link. The privacy policies of the respective provider apply there.

9. Recipients and transfers to third countries

Where necessary, recipients of your data are Cloudflare (hosting and server), GetResponse (newsletter), our email service provider, our IT and email service providers and the responsible companies of the NIQUA Group in Germany, Italy and Switzerland. For Switzerland, there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission. Where data is transferred to the USA, this is done to companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or on the basis of EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR).

10. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21), as well as the right to withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. Where we process data on the basis of legitimate interests, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation. To do so, please use the contact details in section 1.

You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is: Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz (State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Rhineland-Palatinate), Hintere Bleiche 34, 55116 Mainz, poststelle@datenschutz.rlp.de.

11. Further information

You are not obliged to provide us with personal data. Without your details, however, we cannot handle enquiries, applications or newsletter subscriptions. We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing. The website is protected by an encrypted connection (TLS). We will update this privacy policy if the website, the services used or the legal situation change.
