4. Cookies
The websites of NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows Internet sites and servers to assign the specific Internet browser in which the cookie is stored. This enables the visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate between the individual browser of the data subject and other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website in the user’s interest. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data every time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
5. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH collects a series of general data and information with each access of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following can be collected: (1) the types and versions of browsers 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 subpages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve the purpose of averting danger in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH does not draw conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide necessary information to law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH evaluates these anonymously collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

11. Data Protection in Applications and the Application Process
12. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a person came (the so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” add-on for web analytics through Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our websites is from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By placing the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently make commission settlements possible.
By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, are stored. With each visit to our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure on to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the web browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Additionally, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. To achieve this, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that any data and information about the visits of internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable privacy provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
13. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, 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 do not override them. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).
14. Legitimate Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
15. Duration for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.
16. Statutory or Contractual Requirements to Provide the Personal Data; Necessity for the Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide Such Data
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data for a contract to be concluded, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract, or necessary for the contract conclusion, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
17. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
This privacy policy was created using the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as the External Data Protection Officer in Dresden, in cooperation with the data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can assign the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website according to the user’s needs. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not need to re-enter their login data during every visit to the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time through an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
5. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH collects a series of general data and information with each visit to the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected: (1) the types and versions of browsers 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 subpages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to protect against dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH does not draw conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the persistent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary information in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, this anonymized data and information are evaluated statistically and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
6. Subscription to Our Newsletter
On the website of NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals via a newsletter about the company’s offers. The newsletter from our company can generally only be received if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject has registered for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address provided by the data subject for the first time for the newsletter subscription, using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to trace (possible) misuse of the data subject’s email address at a later date and thus serves to legally protect the data controller.
The personal data collected during newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Additionally, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed via email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or related registration, such as in the case of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. No personal data collected in the context of the newsletter service is shared with third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has granted for the newsletter distribution can be withdrawn at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. Additionally, the data subject has the option to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller in another way.
7. Newsletter Tracking
The newsletters of NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a tiny graphic embedded in HTML-formatted emails to enable logging and analysis. This allows for statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were clicked by the data subject.
The personal data collected through the tracking pixels in the newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize the newsletter distribution and better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subjects. This personal data is not shared with third parties. Data subjects have the right to withdraw their separate consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After a withdrawal, the personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH as a withdrawal.
8. Contact via the Website
The website of NUTECH Gesellschaft für Lasertechnik und Materialprüfung mbH includes information required by law that allows for quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general electronic mail (email) address. If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by the data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not shared with third parties.
9. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided by European directives and regulations or other legal provisions to which the data controller is subject.
Once the storage purpose no longer applies or the storage period prescribed by European directives and regulations or another competent legislator expires, personal data is routinely and in accordance with legal regulations blocked or deleted.

11. Data Protection in Applications and Recruitment Process
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits their application documents electronically, for example, via email or through a web form on the website of the data controller. If the data controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship, in compliance with legal requirements. If the data controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that there are no other legitimate interests of the data controller preventing deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
12. Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, aggregation, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service captures, among other things, data about the website from which an affected person came to our website (known as referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition ensures that Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the internet connection of the affected person when accessing our websites from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that display the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the affected person’s information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the affected person’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data such as the IP address of the affected person, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of the visitors and clicks and to enable commission billing.
Through the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which the access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the affected person are stored. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the affected person, 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 disclose these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the affected person’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time through the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the affected person has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and to the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such processing. To do so, the affected person must download and install a browser add-on from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about the visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a notice of objection by Google. If the affected person’s information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the affected person must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the affected person or another person under their control, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
13. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the affected person is a party, such as processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or benefits, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the affected person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the affected person do not override those interests. Such processing operations are specifically permitted because they were mentioned explicitly by the European legislator. In this regard, it was considered that a legitimate interest might be assumed if the affected person is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
14. Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
15. Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the retention period expires, the relevant data will be routinely deleted, provided they are no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.
16. Legal or Contractual Provisions for Providing Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Affected Person to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision
We inform you that providing personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may arise from contractual arrangements (e.g., details about the contractual partner). It may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract for an affected person to provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, the affected person is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Non-provision of personal data would result in the contract with the affected person not being able to be concluded. Before providing personal data, the affected person must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the affected person on a case-by-case basis whether providing the personal data is legally or contractually required or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
17. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
