Privacy policy

Der Schutz auf Sie bezogener Informationen ist uns ein wichtiges Anliegen. Diese Datenschutzerklärung informiert Sie daher über Umfang und Zweck der Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten bei der Nutzung unseres Online-Angebotes.

1. Introduction

Personal data is all data that contains information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable person. This includes, for example, your name, your e-mail address, your home address, your gender, your phone number, or even your date of birth and age (referred to as “personal data”).

We operate our website in accordance with the valid and applicable data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (“BDSG”). This privacy policy therefore provides an explanation of how we handle your personal data in connection with the use of our website.

However, personal data is not only processed in the context of our website, but also in many other processes in our company. In order to provide you as the data subject with as much detailed information as possible for these processing purposes, we have compiled this information here for the following processing activities:

2. Technology

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption (Transport Layer Security / Secure Socket Layer) to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that “https://” instead of “http://” is displayed in the address bar of the browser and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

2.1 Data collection when visiting the website

Every time you access our website, we obtain the following information about your computer, regardless of your registration status: the IP address of your computer, your browser request, and the time of this request. The status and the transmitted data volume are also recorded as part of this request. We also obtain product and version information about the browser used and the computer’s operating system. Furthermore, we record the website from which our website was accessed. Your computer’s IP address is only saved for the period of time in which the website is used and for the following three months. After this time, it is erased or anonymized by abbreviating it. The rest of the data is stored for a limited period of time.

We use this data to operate the website; in particular, we use it to identify and fix errors, to determine the utilization level of the website, and to make modifications or improvements. These purposes also cover our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

2.2 Use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer and that store certain settings and data for the purposes of exchange with our website via your browser. A cookie generally contains the name of the domain from which the cookie file was sent, as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier.

Cookies are used to make our website a more enjoyable experience for you. We use session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness. These are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically recognize that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the usage of our website and to evaluate our web pages for you for the purposes of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The period of time for which the cookies are saved can be found in the settings of the consent tool being used.

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, is therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

For all other cookies, you must give your consent to them via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

2.3 Hosting

We use Amazon Web Services to save the data collected by us. This is a web hosting service of Amazon Web Services, Inc., 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109, USA.

We use this service to save our data on Amazon servers. If you transmit data to us or if data is lawfully collected from you, this data is stored in the cloud. As the data is stored on servers in the USA, the possibility that security agencies in the USA may access it cannot be ruled out. Amazon is a participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of the personal data of EU citizens to the USA.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to provide a fast and secure website.

Further information about data processing can be found in the Amazon Privacy Notice at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/.

3. Content on our website

3.1 myBeckhoff

To register to use our “myBeckhoff” online service, you must provide the required details, such as your first name and last name, address, and e-mail address. We also save the date and time of registration, and the IP address.

When you register, a customer account will be created for you, and we will store the data for this account for as long as an active customer relationship exists. You have the right to request that your customer account be erased at any time.

As the data is required to execute and fulfill the “myBeckhoff” use agreement, the data processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

The data collected when registering for and using “myBeckhoff” is also transferred to our customer relationship management system (“CRM”) to manage and administer our relationship with you as a customer. We do this by using Microsoft Dynamics 365, a service provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.

The legal basis for transferring and storing the data in our CRM is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

With Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, we are also able to track and analyze the user behavior of our contacts on our website, provided they are logged into their myBeckhoff account. The legal basis for processing data for the purpose of analyzing user behavior is our legitimate interest in optimizing our website and offerings, and providing you as a customer with customized information (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

The data stored in the CRM is also shared with other companies within our group of companies. These companies also include companies that are based in third countries, which means countries outside the EU or EEA. An overview of the group of companies can be found here: Beckhoff group of companies.

The legal basis for transferring personal data to other companies within our group of companies is our legitimate interest in improving our offering company-wide (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, recital 48 of the GDPR).

3.2 Downloading software files

When you use “myBeckhoff”, you have the option to download various software files.

During this process, we store technical information, including your IP address, the time of the download, and details about the downloaded file, such as its name and version. In addition, we process your myBeckhoff user name, which allows us to track which user downloaded which software file and when this occurred.

This data processing is carried out on the basis of legal requirements in relation to export control and compliance with sanctions. More information about this is available in the Beckhoff Automation terms and conditions governing export control and sanctions compliance. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in avoiding potential disadvantages or sanctions.

The legal basis for processing this data is Article 6(1)(c) and (f) of the GDPR.

Information about what has been downloaded is also stored in our CRM. The legal basis for storing this data is our legitimate interest in optimizing our offerings and providing you as a customer with customized information (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). More information about this can be found in Section 3.1 of this privacy policy.

3.2 Newsletter

On our website, you have the option to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. If you subscribe to our newsletter, your e-mail address will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe. You will receive regular information by e-mail on current topics as well as e-mails for specific events, such as special promotions. The e-mails may be personalized and customized based on our information about you.

Unless you have given us your consent in writing, we use the double opt-in method for subscriptions to our newsletter, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have expressly confirmed that you wish us to activate the sending of the newsletter. We will then send you a notification e-mail and ask you to confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter by clicking a link in this e-mail. We record the opening of the newsletter and any links that this may contain. We also process the following data in connection with the use of the newsletter: the e-mail program that you are using, your operating system, the time of access, and your abbreviated IP address.

The legal basis for processing your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, provided that you have expressly subscribed to the newsletter. Within the limits of the legal requirements, it is also possible that you may receive our newsletter from us without your express consent because you have ordered goods or services from us, we have received your e-mail address in this context, and you have not declined to receive information by e-mail. In this case, the legal basis is to be seen as our legitimate interest in the transmission of direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

If you do not wish to continue receiving newsletters from us, you can withdraw the consent that you have granted at any time with effect for the future or decline to continue receiving the newsletter without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs at the basic rates.

Simply use the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter or send a message to our Data Protection Officer.

We use Microsoft Dynamics 365, a service provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland, to send and manage the newsletter.

3.3 Contact form (embedded in the website)

If you wish to contact our Sales, Technical Support, or Service teams directly, you can use the online contact form. If you wish to use the contact form, we record the personal data that you enter in the contact form, particularly your name and e-mail address. We also save the IP address and the date and time of the request. We process the data transmitted via the contact form solely for the purposes of responding to your request or concern.

You can choose which information to send via the contact form. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your reason for contacting us is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Once we have processed the matter, the data will initially be stored in case there are any subsequent queries. You can request that the data be erased at any time, otherwise we will erase the data once the matter has been fully resolved; legal retention obligations remain unaffected in each case.

3.4 Forms (linked on the website)

We use all kinds of forms, such as those required for registering for events and webinars, and for creating surveys and polls, which are linked on our website. We use Microsoft Forms to create these forms. This is a service provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.

When using Microsoft Forms, various types of personal data are processed, the scope of which depends on the information you provide in the forms, particularly in the case of open-ended questions.

The processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if this data is required for establishing, performing, or terminating a contractual relationship, such as when registering for events. If the personal data collected in connection with the use of Microsoft Forms is not required directly for the contractual relationship, the processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In such cases, such as when conducting surveys and polls in relation to our products, our legitimate interest is in effectively safeguarding the satisfaction of our customers and continuously improving our products.

We transfer personal data to other companies within our group of companies, and to service providers and data processors, for the purpose of maintaining contact and as part of the provision of our services. An overview of the group of companies can be found here: group of companies

The legal basis for transferring personal data to other companies within our group of companies is our legitimate interest in optimizing our offering (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

If you transmit data to us or if we collect it from you, this data is stored on Microsoft servers in the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK), and/or the United States of America (USA). The transfer of data to the UK and the USA is permitted on the basis of adequacy decisions of the European Commission. Microsoft is a participant in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The relevant decisions of the European Commission were published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

3.5 Participation in webinars

You have the option to take part in online webinars hosted by us by following various links on our website. The webinar will be hosted on the GoToWebinar platform. The controller of this GoToWebinar platform is GoTo Technologies Ireland Unlimited Company, The Reflector, 10 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, D02R573, Ireland.

GoTo Technologies Ireland Unlimited Company also processes personal data. This includes, among other things, your IP address, the participant information provided at the start (such as first and last names), and the audio, text, and video data transmitted.

The processing is required for the purpose of performing a contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In these cases, our legitimate interest is in hosting webinars effectively.

3.6 Canto media database

To manage and provide media content (such as photos and videos), we use the digital asset management system of Canto GmbH, which is based at Lietzenburger Str. 46, 10789 Berlin. Canto’s privacy policy can be viewed at https://www.canto.com/privacy-policy/.

Canto GmbH is part of the Canto Inc. group of companies, which is based in the United States. Canto Inc. is certified as a US company under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 of the GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further safeguards or additional measures.

When the media database is accessed, Canto processes technical access data, including in particular the IP address, information about the browser being used, the operating system, the screen resolution, and the date and time of access. This data is processed for the purposes of providing and securing the service.

The legal basis for using Canto is our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, in particular in ensuring efficient and secure management and provision of media content.

4. Analysis

To statistically evaluate the usage of our website, we use the open-source software Matomo, a web analysis service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, which we operate on our own servers.

The data collected through Matomo is stored in a database for the purposes of usage analysis in order to optimize our web pages. The data collected includes the abbreviated IP address, the time, the web pages accessed, the website from which you accessed our website (“referrer”), the browser used, the period of time you stayed on our web pages, and the frequency of access.

The evaluations generated with Matomo are anonymized and cannot be used to identify an individual person. The data stored by Matomo is not linked to any other data sources.

If personal data is collected in the short term, it is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the analysis of user behavior to improve the content, user-friendliness, and technical stability of our website. After anonymization, the data is no longer subject to the GDPR.

5. Integration of third-party services

For certain features of our website, we access third-party services. These services are primarily optional features that you need to explicitly select or use. We have concluded contractual agreements with the relevant providers for the provision or integration of their services and we do everything we can to ensure that the third-party providers give transparent information about the extent to which personal data is processed and comply with data protection provisions.

5.1 Google Maps

We use Google Maps to generate directions and display the locations of branches on maps. This is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”).

In order to display the maps and fonts, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our web pages are accessed.

If you access Google Maps when you visit our website, Google saves a cookie on your end device via your browser. Your user data is processed by Google in order to display the location and generate directions. Google may use servers in the USA for this purpose.

The legal basis for use is your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Google can use the data transmitted to Google to identify the web page from which your request was sent and the IP address to which the directions are to be transmitted.

If you do not agree to the saving and processing of your data, it is necessary to prevent the installation of cookies. You can do this by configuring the relevant settings in your browser. In this regard, we refer to our statements on the subject of cookies.

The use of Google Maps is subject to the Google Terms of Service as well as the general terms and conditions. The Google Privacy Policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

5.2 Vimeo

In order to display videos on our website, we use Vimeo (Vimeo LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Vimeo”).

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You grant your consent by allowing the integration of external content.

If you grant your consent to the embedding of videos from Vimeo, a connection to the Vimeo servers in the USA is established in order to display the video. For technical reasons, your IP address is transmitted to Vimeo and processed by Vimeo for this purpose. In addition, the date and time you visited the relevant page is recorded.

If you are logged in to Vimeo when you visit our web pages on which a Vimeo video is embedded, Vimeo assigns the collected user data to your personal user account. To prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our web pages or configure the account settings on Vimeo accordingly.

Vimeo uses Google Analytics for the purposes of web analytics. Google Analytics saves cookies on your end device via your web browser and sends Google information about the use of our web pages on which a Vimeo video is embedded.

If you do not agree to the saving and processing of your data, it is necessary to prevent the installation of cookies. You can do this by configuring the relevant settings in your browser. In this regard, we refer to our statements on the subject of cookies.

More information on the collection, use, and processing of data by Vimeo and on your rights and ways to protect your privacy can be found at http://vimeo.com/privacy.

6. Social media

In addition to our website, we use various social media pages for information transmission and communication. You will find links to these pages on our website, and links to our website on these pages.

When you visit one of our social media pages, we share responsibility with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations that this triggers, within the meaning of Article 26 of the GDPR.

We are not the original provider of these social media channels; rather, we merely use them within the scope of the options made available to us by the respective providers. We therefore wish to make you aware that your data may be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, even by providers that are based in Europe.

Your personal data is processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider to enable us to communicate with you in a modern way and inform you about our services.

If you, as a user, are required to provide consent to data processing to the respective providers, the legal basis for doing so is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, please be aware that the best way to exercise your rights as a data subject (for example, your rights to information, rectification, or erasure) is to contact the respective provider directly.

7. Your rights

If you would like to exercise the rights listed below and/or would like further information, you can contact our data protection officer at any time.

7.1 Rights of the data subject

You have a large number of rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, provided the statutory requirements are met.

You have the right to:

  • access information (Art. 15 of the GDPR)
  • rectification (Art. 16 of the GDPR)
  • erasure (Art. 17 of the GDPR)
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 of the GDPR)
  • data portability (Art. 20 of the GDPR)
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 of the GDPR)

7.2 Right to object

n addition to the rights listed in 7.1, you also have the right to object in accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR. Separate information about this right is provided below:
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling in accordance with Article 4(4) of the GDPR, if applicable. In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data further unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If you object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, we will no longer process this data for such purposes, including any associated profiling in the context of direct marketing.

8. Retention period

We will erase your personal data when the respective purpose of storage no longer applies and provided no statutory provision requires that we retain it (e.g., a retention obligation under the German Fiscal Code and/or the German Commercial Code). For example, if you have created a user account, you can cancel it – or, if you have granted your consent, you can withdraw this at any time with effect for the future.

If erasure is not possible in individual cases, the processing in question will be restricted.

Finally, the retention period is also based on the statutory limitation periods.

9. Transfer to third countries

To ensure the protection of personal data in international data transfers, Beckhoff complies with the applicable statutory provisions and uses recognized mechanisms such as the standard contractual clauses of the European Union or equivalent regulations.

In certain cases, personal data is transferred to recipients in third countries. Third countries are countries outside the EU and the EEA. As the level of data protection in these countries is often not comparable to that in the EU or EEA, it is possible that government agencies may access personal data without Beckhoff or the data subjects being informed. Legal prosecution of such access may offer little prospect of success. Information on data transfers to third countries can be found in our privacy policy.

The transfer of personal data to third countries takes place on a legal basis, which may vary depending on the individual case. The basis is either the consent of the data subject (Art. 49(1)(a) of the GDPR), the performance of a contract (Art. 49(1)(b) of the GDPR), an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 of the GDPR), or the use of EU standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) of the GDPR).

Beckhoff reserves the right to adapt the legal bases for future international data transfers if this becomes necessary due to changes in legal, regulatory, or operational requirements. Any changes will be made in accordance with the applicable data protection laws.
