Data Protection

1 . Website Visit (Server Log Files)

Purpose and legal basis: When you access our website, i.e. even if you have not registered in advance or provided us with data in any other way, log data and device information, such as browser type and browser version, the operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request and the IP address are automatically recorded. The aforementioned data is automatically stored and transmitted to us in the form of server log files and is used to ensure basic technical functions. Without this data, the functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed, which may result in individual services being unavailable or restricted.

Your personal data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website as well as ensuring system security and detecting misuse.

Recipients & Third country transfer: We use technical service providers for the operation and maintenance of our website who act as our processors. All service providers are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially.

Since the data collected may be transferred to our country organization, Hillenbrand Inc. in the USA, we use EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as suitable guarantees to ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring data to third countries.

Storage period: The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For data used to provide the website, this is generally the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of the storage of data in server log files, this is the case after 14 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.

Profiling: We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person, but we reserve the right to check server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

Objection: You can object to the use of your personal data for the above-mentioned purpose at any time or request the deletion of your data if it is no longer required for the provision of our services or for other legitimate purposes. To do so, please send an email with your request to dataprivacy@coperion.com.

Purpose and legal basis: We use cookies (small text files that web pages store on a user's device to uniquely identify the user's browser or to store information or settings in the browser) and similar technologies such as web beacons (tiny, mostly invisible image files or scripts used to prove that certain content has been viewed or clicked on) on our website to provide basic website functions, store preferences, see how our services are used and to provide a customized experience. In addition, these technologies help us to better understand user activities and patterns and to enable online advertising and are used in this context for the operation of Google Analytics and Remarketing (see sections Website analytics and Remarketing).

4 . Remarketing

Purpose and legal basis: We commission our advertising partners, including third-party providers (such as Google) and social media companies, to place ads with a remarketing option. For this purpose, the user's interactions on our website, such as the products and services they are interested in, are analyzed. This enables us to present interest-based advertisements to users of our website on other websites in the Google Display Network, such as Google Search or YouTube. For this purpose, we use a so-called tracking pixel on our website, which collects the data and sends it to the Google ad server to display personalized ads. 
If you have accepted the use of the above-mentioned cookies in the cookie consent tool, the data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Recipients and third country transfers: For websites in the Google Display Network where we make cross-border data transfers, we ensure that relevant safeguards are in place to ensure adequate protection for personal data. We also comply with applicable data protection laws.

5 . InFocus Newsletters and Promotional E-Mails

Purpose and legal basis: Coperion regularly sends information mailings and our inFocus newsletter to customers or interested parties in order to inform them about innovations, offers and events. If you would like to receive the inFocus newsletter offered on the website, you can register for it via the online registration and the so-called “double opt-in” procedure (DOI procedure). This means that following your newsletter registration you will receive an e-mail in which you must confirm your newsletter registration again. This measure is necessary to ensure that a registration is actually lawful and has been made by the owner of an e-mail address.

The processing of your personal data for advertising purposes is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), which you can revoke at any time. We also send trade fair invitations and promotional information to our customers by email in accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, provided they have not objected to this (see Lead data section). Here too, you can object to the processing of personal data for advertising purposes at any time (see section Revocation).

Recipients and third country transfers: Depending on the division responsible, emails are sent via the email platform Inxmail or DotDigital. As software operators, Inxmail GmbH, Wentzigerstr. 17, 79106 Freiburg, Germany, and Dotdigital EMEA Limited, No. 1 London Bridge, London, SE1 9BG, United Kingdom, are therefore also recipients of the data. The data collected may be transferred to our country organizations in third countries to enable the mailings controlled from there to be sent. 

To ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to third countries, we use EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as suitable guarantees.

Storage period: Your personal data will be processed for the above-mentioned purpose until you object to the processing for the purpose of such advertising. Data stored by us for other purposes, such as e-mail addresses for the member area (e.g. MyCoperion), remain unaffected by this. 

Profiling: We only use anonymized data to determine the open rates or click rates of our mailings. At no time is this data evaluated on a personal basis.

Revocation: You can object to receiving trade fair invitations, newsletters and promotional information at any time by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link in the footer of the promotional e-mails we send. Please note that by objecting, you will be removed from all e-mail distribution lists of Coperion and our companies (see also section Data exchange within the Coperion organization).

6 . Data Exchange Within the Coperion Organization

Purpose and legal basis: For the purpose of optimizing our internal processes and creating a uniform database, personal data is exchanged within the Coperion organization. This consists of the following brands: Baker Perkins, Bakon, Coperion, Coperion K-Tron, Diosna, Gabler Engineering, Herbold Meckesheim, Kemutec, Peerless, Raymond Bartlett Snow, Shaffer, Shick Esteve, Unifiller Systems and VMI.

The processing is carried out taking into account your legitimate interests and on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in efficient cooperation and the uniform maintenance of business contacts within the group of companies. Access to personal data is regulated for a specific purpose and based on roles. Data will not be passed on to third parties outside the Group without your consent or another legal basis. 

As a consequence of our gradual merging of sales and marketing activities, Coperion sends trade fair invitations, newsletters and promotional information by e-mail to existing customers of the above-mentioned companies if you have consented to the disclosure of your data for use for advertising purposes by the technology brands of Coperion and the receipt of such advertising (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if this is permitted under Section 7 para. 3 UWG (see section inFocus Newsletter and promotional e-mails).

Recipients and third country transfers: The above-mentioned companies belong to Coperion, but are currently separate legal entities. A data processing agreement has been concluded between all companies belonging to Coperion in accordance with applicable EU law. Since Coperion and the acquired companies operate worldwide, data may also be shared with third countries under certain circumstances.

To ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to third countries, we use EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as suitable guarantees.

Revocation: You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time by sending an informal email to dataprivacy@coperion.com. You can also object to receiving trade fair invitations, newsletters and advertising information at any time by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link in the footer of the advertising we send. Please note that by unsubscribing, you will be removed from all e-mail distribution lists of Coperion and our companies (see paragraph inFocus newsletter and advertising e-mails).

7 . Webinars

Purpose and legal basis: Coperion offers customers free webinars that are conducted with the GoToWebinar software from the provider GoTo Technologies, based in the USA. The purpose of these webinars is to provide technical information, train participants and discuss relevant topics. In addition, Coperion processes the data provided via the registration form in the course of the follow-up of the webinar participation, in particular to answer queries, to individually clarify the participants' need for information or advice and to provide further, topic-related content.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) EU-GDPR in a practicable and user-friendly implementation of the webinar, including a good user experience for the purpose of external presentation of the company and in the follow-up of the webinar, which includes answering open questions of the participants as well as the individual clarification of any information and consulting needs with regard to our products. Contact will only be made in relation to the topic of the webinar and only to the extent necessary to answer your questions or to determine your needs.

Recipients and third country transfers: Your personal data, including the questions asked in the webinar, will be provided to the responsible sales employees. Depending on the group of participants in the webinar, the data collected may be transferred to sales staff based at one of our country organizations located outside the EU. In addition, the data transmitted to us is recorded in a lead management system that is maintained by our country organization, Hillenbrand Inc. in the USA.

Furthermore, the software provider GoTo Technologies is also the recipient of the data provided by you via the registration form and processes the data on our behalf and exclusively for the purpose of registration and realization of the webinar in question. GoTo Technologies uses end-to-end security measures to protect your data, such as end-to-end encryption using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and 128-bit encryption in accordance with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). No unencrypted information is stored on GoTo Technologies systems. In addition, an order processing contract has been concluded with GoTo Technologies in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

To ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to third countries, we use EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as suitable guarantees.

Storage period: All data relating to the webinar will be automatically deleted no later than 24 months after the webinar in the GoToWebinar dashboard, unless there is a legal obligation to retain it. As our webinars are offered several times a year, keeping participant lists for 24 months enables us to better understand and compare the target group reached.

Profiling: During the webinar, the software automatically records various attention factors of the participants in order to calculate an individual interest rate. This data is manually deleted before being transferred to our lead system and is neither systematically analyzed nor used for profiling purposes.

Revocation: You can object to the use of your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes at any time or request the deletion of your data if it is no longer required for the provision of our services or for other legitimate purposes. To do so, please send an email with your request to dataprivacy@coperion.com.

8 . Lead Data (e.g. via Campaigns)

This so-called lead data is transmitted to us by the publisher after completion of the campaign.

We process all personal data transmitted by the publishers on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, in particular for the maintenance and follow-up of business contacts in our lead management system. In addition, we use this data to inform you by e-mail about relevant specialist content, events, trade fairs or new products from Coperion if you have consented to receiving such advertising (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) (see section inFocus newsletter and advertising e-mails).

Recipients and third country transfers: The personal data provided by you in the context of a campaign is first collected by the respective platform (e.g. a publisher) and then transmitted to Coperion in the form of lead data. Access to this data takes place via our central lead management system and is reserved for authorized Coperion sales employees and external sales partners - including sales intermediaries (sales representatives). As part of our global sales structure, the transmitted data is transferred to our country organization in the USA and processed there in our lead management system. In addition, as Coperion operates internationally, authorized sales representatives or partners based outside the European Union (EU) may have access to lead data relevant to their region.

To ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to third countries, we use EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as suitable guarantees.

Storage period: The storage period for lead data is 24 months unless deletion is requested before this period expires.

Profiling: This data will not be merged with other data sources.

Revocation: You can object to the use of your personal data by Coperion at any time or request the deletion of your data if it is no longer required for the provision of our services or for other legitimate purposes. To do so, please send an e-mail with your request to dataprivacy@coperion.com.

Depending on the event, these are entered by our stand personnel in a mobile lead app and subsequently entered into our lead management system.

Recipients and third country transfers: As part of our global sales structure, the transferred data is transmitted to our country organization in the USA and processed there in our lead management system.

To ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to third countries, we use EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as suitable guarantees.

Recipients and third country transfers: As part of our global sales structure, the data transmitted, in particular from our contact form, is transferred to our country organization in the USA and processed there in our lead management system.

Storage period: If a contract is concluded between you and Coperion as a result of contacting us via the contact form, we will check after three years whether we still need your data or whether statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

To ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to third countries, we use EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as suitable guarantees.

Storage period: If you are not hired, your data will be deleted no later than six months after completion of the application process. This period is based on the statutory provisions, in particular to safeguard possible claims under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

In this case, we will store your data for a maximum period of 12 months unless you withdraw your consent beforehand. If you register in our talent pool, we will ask you for further consent to store your data every 11 months. If you do not comply with this request, your data will be automatically deleted after a further 30 days.

In cases where an employment relationship is established, we will store your data for at least the period of employment in order to be able to guarantee the performance of the employment relationship.

Profiling: The tools we use enable us to screen application documents faster with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Nevertheless, no automated decision-making takes place in our recruiting or application process. Our recruiters are always involved in the review of applications and decide whether an applicant will be considered in the further application process. In addition, (potential) applicants are never compared with each other in an overarching scoring model. 

Revocation: You can revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time or request the deletion of your data if it is no longer required for other legitimate purposes. To do so, please send an e-mail with your request to dataprivacy@coperion.com.
