PRIVACY POLICY

Video Hosting Platforms

Video Hosting Platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and others.

• YouTube Videos
  We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored on the YouTube platform and can be played directly from our website. YouTube is a service of Google LLC, D/B/A YouTube. 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter as ‘Google’). The videos are all embedded in the so-called ‘2-click-mode’, which means that no data about you as a user is being transferred to Google if you do not activate the video function. Before the video function’s activation, only a preview image loaded from our own web server is being displayed.

  Data will only be transferred to Google if you activate such video functions. Once being activated, we have no influence on this data transfer. The data transfer is carried out regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

5. Social media hyperlink

We have included hyperlinks to the following social media services on our website: LinkedIn and Facebook.
These hyperlinks are designed in the form of the corresponding logos and are stored on our own server. This means that when our website is loaded for the first time, no data about you as a user are transferred to the respective provider. You will be directed to the respective website only if you click on the logos. Further data about you may be processed on this website.
We have no influence on this data processing on the respective linked websites.

C.   Are you obliged to provide us with this data?

When you visit our website, the information specified in section B. 1. a. as well as the information from the cookies classified as strictly necessary is processed automatically. The transfer of this information is voluntary. Without the provision of this personal data, we cannot display the requested page.
If you...

• ...allow us to use cookies that are not classified as strictly necessary,
• ...want to contact us and send us an e-mail or use our contact form (including the necessary reCAPTCHA query) or
• ...want to see embedded YouTube videos

...the transfer of the information is voluntary.
If you contact us, we cannot answer your inquiry in the chosen way without the provision of the personal data required in the individual case. As far as cookies are concerned, the lack of consent can lead to a restriction of the functionality of the website or parts of it. Embedded videos cannot be played without your consent.

D.   To whom do we pass on your personal data?

Within our company, only persons and departments are granted access to your personal data as far as they need it to fulfil the abovementioned purposes.
We also involve service providers. These service providers will only act on our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection requirements.
Otherwise, we will only pass on your data to third parties if:

• you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
• the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
• there is a legal obligation for us to pass on the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, or
• this is legally permissible and, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual relationships with you.

A transfer of your personal data to service providers in a third country will only take place if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are fulfilled.

E.   How do we secure your personal data?

BTC uses technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously revised in line with technological developments.

F.   What rights do you have?

You have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation including the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, if you request it from us in writing:

• Right to access: the right to obtain access to your information (if we’re processing it), and certain other information (like that provided in this Privacy Policy);
• Right to correct: if your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete you have the right to have your personal information rectified;
• Right to erasure: this is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions. For example, we have the right to continue using your personal data if such use is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
• Right to restriction of processing: the right to suspend the usage of your personal information or limit the way in which we can process it. Please note that this right is limited in certain situations: When we are processing your personal information that we collected from you with your consent you can only request restriction on the basis of: (a) inaccuracy of data; (b) where our processing is unlawful and you don’t want your personal information erased; (c) you need it for a legal claim; or (d) if we no longer need to use the data for the purposes for which we hold it. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for restriction of the use of their personal information to make sure the restriction is respected in future;
• Right to data portability: the right to request that we move, copy or transfer (where technically feasible) your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, for your own purposes across different services;
• Right to object: the right to object to our processing of your personal information including where we process it for our legitimate interests, direct marketing;
• Right to withdraw consent: if you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal information with your consent up to that point is unlawful).

Exercising these rights is free of charge. However, you are required to prove your identity by means of a two-factor-authentication. We will engage reasonable efforts consistent with our legal duty to supply, correct or delete personal information about you.
To exercise your rights, please contact us, for example by e-mail or by post. You will find the contact details in section A.

G.  Where can you complain?

You have the right to lodge a complaint with our data protection officer (for contact details see Section A) or with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
In either case, you can contact our Lead Data Protection Authority:

Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen

H.   Data protection for minors

This website is intended for persons who are at least 18 years old. If a minor submits personal data via this website, we will delete this data and not process it further as soon as we become aware of this fact.

En outre, BASF partagera vos données personnelles entre les sociétés BASF qui sont responsables de vous en tant que partenaire commercial (potentiel). Les deux transferts susmentionnés ont pour but de gérer les données des clients dans l'ensemble du groupe BASF et de préparer des campagnes de marketing mondiales et des activités liées à la vente.

La base juridique de ce partage de données est notre intérêt légitime à conserver vos données personnelles au sein de notre groupe.

Nous partagerons vos données personnelles avec d'autres sociétés affiliées du groupe BASF si elles nous fournissent des services informatiques ou si cela est nécessaire pour des raisons opérationnelles, telles que le suivi des responsables des ventes ou l'élaboration de matériel et de contenu marketing personnalisés. En outre, nous transmettrons vos données à caractère personnel aux prestataires de services techniques informatiques auxquels nous faisons appel et qui nous fournissent des services. Nos prestataires de services informatiques sont soigneusement sélectionnés et régulièrement contrôlés par nos soins. Ils ne traitent les données personnelles qu'en notre nom et en stricte conformité avec nos instructions, sur la base des contrats correspondants pour le traitement des commandes. 

Nous conservons vos données personnelles collectées dans le cadre de votre consentement aux fins susmentionnées jusqu'à ce que votre consentement soit révoqué. 

Vous pouvez révoquer votre consentement à tout moment, avec effet pour l'avenir, en nous notifiant votre révocation dans notre centre de préférences en matière de consentement. Chaque courrier publicitaire que nous vous enverrons sur la base de ce consentement contiendra un lien distinct vous permettant de révoquer votre consentement. 

Vous êtes libre d'accorder ou de refuser votre consentement. Cela n'a aucune incidence sur votre visite de ce site web et de cette plate-forme. 

Si vous révoquez votre consentement, nous n'utiliserons plus vos données personnelles à des fins de marketing, sauf si nous disposons d'une autre base juridique. La révocation de votre consentement n'affecte pas la légalité du traitement des données qui a eu lieu jusqu'à ce moment-là.
