We hereÂwith advise you that the transÂmisÂsion of data via the InterÂnet (i.e., through e‑mail comÂmuÂniÂcaÂtions) may be prone to secuÂriÂty gaps. It is not posÂsiÂble to comÂpleteÂly proÂtect data against third-parÂty access.
Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)
The data proÂcessÂing conÂtroller on this webÂsite is:
Thomas FindÂeis
MAWERA HolzfeuerungsanÂlaÂgen GmbH
NeuÂlandÂstraĂźe 30
6971 Hard am Bodensee
AusÂtria
Phone: +43 5574 74301–0
E‑mail: info@mawera.com
The conÂtroller is the natÂurÂal perÂson or legal entiÂty that sinÂgle-handÂedÂly or jointÂly with othÂers makes deciÂsions as to the purÂposÂes of and resources for the proÂcessÂing of perÂsonÂal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addressÂes, etc.).
Storage duration
Unless a more speÂcifÂic storÂage periÂod has been specÂiÂfied in this priÂvaÂcy polÂiÂcy, your perÂsonÂal data will remain with us until the purÂpose for which it was colÂlectÂed no longer applies. If you assert a jusÂtiÂfied request for deleÂtion or revoke your conÂsent to data proÂcessÂing, your data will be deletÂed, unless we have othÂer legalÂly perÂmisÂsiÂble reaÂsons for storÂing your perÂsonÂal data (e.g., tax or comÂmerÂcial law retenÂtion periÂods); in the latÂter case, the deleÂtion will take place after these reaÂsons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website
If you have conÂsentÂed to data proÂcessÂing, we process your perÂsonÂal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if speÂcial catÂeÂgories of data are processed accordÂing to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicÂit conÂsent to the transÂfer of perÂsonÂal data to third counÂtries, the data proÂcessÂing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have conÂsentÂed to the storÂage of cookÂies or to the access to inforÂmaÂtion in your end device (e.g., via device finÂgerÂprintÂing), the data proÂcessÂing is addiÂtionÂalÂly based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The conÂsent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulÂfillÂment of a conÂtract or for the impleÂmenÂtaÂtion of pre-conÂtracÂtuÂal meaÂsures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. FurÂtherÂmore, if your data is required for the fulÂfillÂment of a legal obligÂaÂtion, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR.

Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries
Among othÂer things, we use tools of comÂpaÂnies domiÂciled in the UnitÂed States or othÂer from a data proÂtecÂtion perÂspecÂtive non-secure non-EU counÂtries. If these tools are active, your perÂsonÂal data may potenÂtialÂly be transÂferred to these non-EU counÂtries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these counÂtries, a data proÂtecÂtion levÂel that is comÂpaÂraÂble to that in the EU canÂnot be guarÂanÂteed. For instance, U.S. enterÂprisÂes are under a manÂdate to release perÂsonÂal data to the secuÂriÂty agenÂcies and you as the data subÂject do not have any litÂiÂgaÂtion options to defend yourÂself in court. Hence, it canÂnot be ruled out that U.S. agenÂcies (e.g., the Secret SerÂvice) may process, anaÂlyze, and perÂmaÂnentÂly archive your perÂsonÂal data for surÂveilÂlance purÂposÂes. We have no conÂtrol over these proÂcessÂing activÂiÂties.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data proÂcessÂing transÂacÂtions are posÂsiÂble only subÂject to your express conÂsent. You can also revoke at any time any conÂsent you have already givÂen us. This shall be withÂout prejÂuÂdice to the lawÂfulÂness of any data colÂlecÂtion that occurred priÂor to your revoÂcaÂtion.

THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the impoÂsiÂtion of restricÂtions as far as the proÂcessÂing of your perÂsonÂal data is conÂcerned. To do so, you may conÂtact us at any time. The right to demand restricÂtion of proÂcessÂing applies in the folÂlowÂing casÂes:
- In the event that you should disÂpute the corÂrectÂness of your data archived by us, we will usuÂalÂly need some time to verÂiÂfy this claim. DurÂing the time that this invesÂtiÂgaÂtion is ongoÂing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the proÂcessÂing of your perÂsonÂal data.
- If the proÂcessÂing of your perÂsonÂal data was/is conÂductÂed in an unlawÂful manÂner, you have the option to demand the restricÂtion of the proÂcessÂing of your data in lieu of demandÂing the eradÂiÂcaÂtion of this data.
- If we do not need your perÂsonÂal data any longer and you need it to exerÂcise, defend or claim legal entiÂtleÂments, you have the right to demand the restricÂtion of the proÂcessÂing of your perÂsonÂal data instead of its eradÂiÂcaÂtion.
- If you have raised an objecÂtion purÂsuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each othÂer. As long as it has not been deterÂmined whose interÂests preÂvail, you have the right to demand a restricÂtion of the proÂcessÂing of your perÂsonÂal data.
If you have restrictÂed the proÂcessÂing of your perÂsonÂal data, these data – with the excepÂtion of their archivÂing – may be processed only subÂject to your conÂsent or to claim, exerÂcise or defend legal entiÂtleÂments or to proÂtect the rights of othÂer natÂurÂal perÂsons or legal entiÂties or for imporÂtant pubÂlic interÂest reaÂsons citÂed by the EuroÂpean Union or a memÂber state of the EU.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For secuÂriÂty reaÂsons and to proÂtect the transÂmisÂsion of conÂfiÂdenÂtial conÂtent, such as purÂchase orders or inquiries you subÂmit to us as the webÂsite operÂaÂtor, this webÂsite uses either an SSL or a TLS encrypÂtion proÂgram. You can recÂogÂnize an encryptÂed conÂnecÂtion by checkÂing whether the address line of the browsÂer switchÂes from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearÂance of the lock icon in the browsÂer line.
If the SSL or TLS encrypÂtion is actiÂvatÂed, data you transÂmit to us canÂnot be read by third parÂties.

We hereÂwith object to the use of conÂtact inforÂmaÂtion pubÂlished in conÂjuncÂtion with the mandaÂtoÂry inforÂmaÂtion to be proÂvidÂed in our Site Notice to send us proÂmoÂtionÂal and inforÂmaÂtion mateÂrÂiÂal that we have not expressÂly requestÂed. The operÂaÂtors of this webÂsite and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsoÂlicitÂed sendÂing of proÂmoÂtionÂal inforÂmaÂtion, for instance via SPAM mesÂsages.
4. Recording of data on this website
Cookies
Our webÂsites and pages use what the indusÂtry refers to as “cookÂies.” CookÂies are small data packÂages that do not cause any damÂage to your device. They are either stored temÂporarÂiÂly for the duraÂtion of a sesÂsion (sesÂsion cookÂies) or they are perÂmaÂnentÂly archived on your device (perÂmaÂnent cookÂies). SesÂsion cookÂies are autoÂmatÂiÂcalÂly deletÂed once you terÂmiÂnate your visÂit. PerÂmaÂnent cookÂies remain archived on your device until you activeÂly delete them, or they are autoÂmatÂiÂcalÂly eradÂiÂcatÂed by your web browsÂer.
In some casÂes, it is posÂsiÂble that third-parÂty cookÂies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third-parÂty cookÂies). These cookÂies enable you or us to take advanÂtage of cerÂtain serÂvices offered by the third parÂty (e.g., cookÂies for the proÂcessÂing of payÂment serÂvices).
CookÂies have a variÂety of funcÂtions. Many cookÂies are techÂniÂcalÂly essenÂtial since cerÂtain webÂsite funcÂtions would not work in the absence of the cookÂies (e.g., the shopÂping cart funcÂtion or the disÂplay of videos). The purÂpose of othÂer cookÂies may be the analyÂsis of user patÂterns or the disÂplay of proÂmoÂtionÂal mesÂsages.
CookÂies, which are required for the perÂforÂmance of elecÂtronÂic comÂmuÂniÂcaÂtion transÂacÂtions, or for the proÂviÂsion of cerÂtain funcÂtions you want to use (e.g., for the shopÂping cart funcÂtion) or those that are necÂesÂsary for the optiÂmizaÂtion (required cookÂies) of the webÂsite (e.g., cookÂies that proÂvide meaÂsurÂable insights into the web audiÂence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a difÂferÂent legal basis is citÂed. The operÂaÂtor of the webÂsite has a legitÂiÂmate interÂest in the storÂage of required cookÂies to ensure the techÂniÂcalÂly error free and optiÂmized proÂviÂsion of the operator’s serÂvices. If your conÂsent to the storÂage of the cookÂies and simÂiÂlar recogÂniÂtion techÂnoloÂgies has been requestÂed, proÂcessÂing occurs excluÂsiveÂly on the basis of the conÂsent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this conÂsent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browsÂer in such a manÂner that you will be notiÂfied any time cookÂies are placed and to perÂmit the accepÂtance of cookÂies only in speÂcifÂic casÂes. You may also exclude the accepÂtance of cookÂies in cerÂtain casÂes or in genÂerÂal or actiÂvate the delete funcÂtion for the autoÂmatÂic eradÂiÂcaÂtion of cookÂies when the browsÂer closÂes. If cookÂies are deacÂtiÂvatÂed, the funcÂtions of this webÂsite may be limÂitÂed.
In the event that third-parÂty cookÂies are used or if cookÂies are used for anaÂlytÂiÂcal purÂposÂes, we will sepÂaÂrateÂly notiÂfy you in conÂjuncÂtion with this Data ProÂtecÂtion PolÂiÂcy and, if applicÂaÂble, ask for your conÂsent.

We use the LinkedIn Insight tag to obtain inforÂmaÂtion about visÂiÂtors to our webÂsite. Once a webÂsite visÂiÂtor is regÂisÂtered with LinkedIn, we can anaÂlyze the key occuÂpaÂtionÂal data (e.g., career levÂel, comÂpaÂny size, counÂtry, locaÂtion, indusÂtry, job title) of our webÂsite visÂiÂtors to help us betÂter tarÂget our site to the relÂeÂvant audiÂence. We can also use LinkedIn Insight tags to meaÂsure whether visÂiÂtors to our webÂsites make a purÂchase or perÂform othÂer actions (conÂverÂsion meaÂsureÂment). ConÂverÂsion meaÂsureÂment can also be carÂried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also feaÂtures a retarÂgetÂing funcÂtion that allows us to disÂplay tarÂgetÂed adverÂtisÂing to visÂiÂtors to our webÂsite outÂside of the webÂsite. AccordÂing to LinkedIn, no idenÂtiÂfiÂcaÂtion of the adverÂtisÂing addressee takes place.
LinkedIn itself also colÂlects log files (URL, referÂrer URL, IP address, device and browsÂer charÂacÂterÂisÂtics and time of access). The IP addressÂes are shortÂened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn memÂbers across devices) hashed (pseuÂdoÂnymized). The direct idenÂtiÂfiers of LinkedIn memÂbers are deletÂed by LinkedIn after sevÂen days. The remainÂing pseuÂdoÂnymized data will then be deletÂed withÂin 180 days.
The data colÂlectÂed by LinkedIn canÂnot be assigned by us as a webÂsite operÂaÂtor to speÂcifÂic indiÂvidÂuÂals. LinkedIn will store the perÂsonÂal data colÂlectÂed from webÂsite visÂiÂtors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own proÂmoÂtionÂal activÂiÂties. For details, please see LinkedIn’s priÂvaÂcy polÂiÂcy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

7. Plug-ins and Tools
YouTube with expanded data protection integration
Our webÂsite embeds videos of the webÂsite YouTube. The webÂsite operÂaÂtor is Google IreÂland LimÂitÂed (“Google”), GorÂdon House, BarÂrow Street, Dublin 4, IreÂland.
We use YouTube in the expandÂed data proÂtecÂtion mode. AccordÂing to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any inforÂmaÂtion about visÂiÂtors to this webÂsite before they watch the video. NevÂerÂtheÂless, this does not necÂesÂsarÂiÂly mean that the sharÂing of data with YouTube partÂners can be ruled out as a result of the expandÂed data proÂtecÂtion mode. For instance, regardÂless of whether you are watchÂing a video, YouTube will always estabÂlish a conÂnecÂtion with the Google DouÂbleClick netÂwork.
As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this webÂsite, a conÂnecÂtion to YouTube’s servers will be estabÂlished. As a result, the YouTube servÂer will be notiÂfied, which of our pages you have visÂitÂed. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visÂit our site, you enable YouTube to directÂly alloÂcate your browsÂing patÂterns to your perÂsonÂal proÂfile. You have the option to preÂvent this by logÂging out of your YouTube account.
FurÂtherÂmore, after you have startÂed to play a video, YouTube will be able to place varÂiÂous cookÂies on your device or comÂpaÂraÂble techÂnoloÂgies for recogÂniÂtion (e.g. device finÂgerÂprintÂing). In this way YouTube will be able to obtain inforÂmaÂtion about this website’s visÂiÂtors. Among othÂer things, this inforÂmaÂtion will be used to genÂerÂate video staÂtisÂtics with the aim of improvÂing the user friendÂliÂness of the site and to preÂvent attempts to comÂmit fraud.
Under cerÂtain cirÂcumÂstances, addiÂtionÂal data proÂcessÂing transÂacÂtions may be trigÂgered after you have startÂed to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our conÂtrol.
The use of YouTube is based on our interÂest in preÂsentÂing our online conÂtent in an appealÂing manÂner. PurÂsuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitÂiÂmate interÂest. If approÂpriÂate conÂsent has been obtained, the proÂcessÂing is carÂried out excluÂsiveÂly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insoÂfar the conÂsent includes the storÂage of cookÂies or the access to inforÂmaÂtion in the user’s end device (e.g., device finÂgerÂprintÂing) withÂin the meanÂing of the TTDSG. This conÂsent can be revoked at any time.

8. Custom Services
Handling applicant data
We offer webÂsite visÂiÂtors the opporÂtuÂniÂty to subÂmit job appliÂcaÂtions to us (e.g., via e‑mail, via postal serÂvices on by subÂmitÂting the online job appliÂcaÂtion form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purÂpose and use of the perÂsonÂal data colÂlectÂed from you in conÂjuncÂtion with the appliÂcaÂtion process. We assure you that the colÂlecÂtion, proÂcessÂing, and use of your data will occur in comÂpliÂance with the applicÂaÂble data priÂvaÂcy rights and all othÂer statuÂtoÂry proÂviÂsions and that your data will always be treatÂed as strictÂly conÂfiÂdenÂtial.
Scope and purpose of the collection of data
If you subÂmit a job appliÂcaÂtion to us, we will process any affilÂiÂatÂed perÂsonÂal data (e.g., conÂtact and comÂmuÂniÂcaÂtions data, appliÂcaÂtion docÂuÂments, notes takÂen durÂing job interÂviews, etc.), if they are required to make a deciÂsion conÂcernÂing the estabÂlishÂment or an employÂment relaÂtionÂship. The legal grounds for the aforeÂmenÂtioned are § 26 BDSG accordÂing to GerÂman Law (NegoÂtiÂaÂtion of an EmployÂment RelaÂtionÂship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (GenÂerÂal ConÂtract NegoÂtiÂaÂtions) and – proÂvidÂed you have givÂen us your conÂsent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any conÂsent givÂen at any time. WithÂin our comÂpaÂny, your perÂsonÂal data will only be shared with indiÂvidÂuÂals who are involved in the proÂcessÂing of your job appliÂcaÂtion.
If your job appliÂcaÂtion should result in your recruitÂment, the data you have subÂmitÂted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purÂpose of impleÂmentÂing the employÂment relaÂtionÂship in our data proÂcessÂing sysÂtem.
Data Archiving Period
If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withÂdraw your appliÂcaÂtion, we reserve the right to retain the data you have subÂmitÂted on the basis of our legitÂiÂmate interÂests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the appliÂcaÂtion proÂceÂdure (rejecÂtion or withÂdrawÂal of the appliÂcaÂtion). AfterÂwards the data will be deletÂed, and the physÂiÂcal appliÂcaÂtion docÂuÂments will be destroyed. The storÂage serves in parÂticÂuÂlar as eviÂdence in the event of a legal disÂpute. If it is eviÂdent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6‑month periÂod (e.g., due to an impendÂing or pendÂing legal disÂpute), deleÂtion will only take place when the purÂpose for furÂther storÂage no longer applies.
Longer storÂage may also take place if you have givÂen your agreeÂment (ArtiÂcle 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statuÂtoÂry data retenÂtion requireÂments preÂclude the deleÂtion.
