Among other things, Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM enables us to manage existing and potential customers as well as customer contacts. With the help of Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, we are able to record and analyse customer interactions via email. The personal data collected in this way may be used for communication with the potential customer or for marketing measures (e.g. newsletter mailings). The provider of the “Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM” system we use is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.

We analyse our newsletter campaigns with technical support. The newsletters contain what are known as tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we as the Controller can see if a data subject has opened an email and when. Through customised links, it is also possible to record which links in the email were called up by the data subject. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific receiver.

As the Controller, we use these exclusively for the statistical evaluation of our newsletter campaigns in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to tailor future newsletters to your interests more effectively.

The service provider may use the receivers' data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a specific user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimisation of the dispatch and presentation of the newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the service provider does not use the data of our newsletter receivers to contact them directly or to pass on the data to third parties.

As part of our online advertising, we use the Customer Match feature from Google Ads. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Customer Match enables us to display personalised advertisements to specific user groups with whom we already have contact, e.g. existing customers or newsletter subscribers. This enables us to show you relevant content and offers and to target our advertising measures more efficiently.

For this purpose, we transmit personal data, e.g. your email address, telephone number, address, user ID and mobile device ID to Google in hashed form (SHA-256 hash). Google then compares this data with existing Google user accounts. If a match is successful, the user concerned is assigned to a Customer Match target audience. This target group can then be used in Google Ads campaigns. If you are logged into a Google service (e.g. YouTube, Google Search or Gmail), you may be shown our Google Ads campaigns as part of our target audience.

Google can also analyse the profiles of users we upload and compare them with the profiles of other Google users. The purpose of this comparison is to find users who have similar characteristics (e.g. same age). These new target groups are referred to as “similar target groups” and can also be used for our advertising campaigns to reach potential new customers.

When personal data is transferred to countries outside your country of residence, we take appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection (e.g. through contractual agreements or other legal mechanisms). In particular, if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA)/EU and your personal data is transferred to third-party service providers in countries that are not considered adequate by the European Commission, we establish and implement appropriate contractual, organisational and technical measures with these third-party companies. This is achieved by applying the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, by reviewing the countries to which the data may be transferred and by introducing specific technical and organisational mechanisms.

When using Google Ads Customer Match, data transfer to Google's parent company in the USA, Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountainview, CA 94043 USA, cannot be ruled out. By consenting to the use of Google Ads Customer Match, you expressly consent to the transfer of your data to the United States. To be able to guarantee adequate protection of your personal data in the event of the transfer of personal data to such so-called third countries, we have concluded what are known as EU-US standard contractual clauses with Google. Google LLC is also certified under the EU/U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Since 10 July 2023, an adequacy decision by the European Commission has been in force for data transfers to the United States, certifying an adequate level of protection for data transfers to the United States – subject, however, to the proviso that the respective service provider can demonstrate certification under the DPF. Google LLC is certified under the DPF and consequently guarantees an adequate level of protection for personal data comparable to that of the EU.

b. Purpose of processing

The purpose of data processing is to enable personalised advertisements to be displayed to specific user groups. The basis for the use of Google Ads – Customer Match is your consent. You may revoke this consent at any time without giving reasons, with effect for the future. You can revoke your consent by sending an email to dataprotection@weidmuller.dk or by post to Weidmüller AB, Box 31025, 200 49 Malmö, Sweden.

c. Storage period

We generally store your personal data until the purposes for which it was collected no longer apply. Google usually deletes the hashed data we upload 48 hours after the matching process has been completed. Users are stored as part of a Customer Match target audience for 540 days after the last upload or update of their data.

However, the YouTube videos can only be accessed by clicking on them separately. This technique is also called “framing”. When you call up a (sub-)page of our website on which YouTube videos are embedded in this form, a connection is established to the YouTube servers, and the content is displayed on the website by informing your browser.

YouTube content is only integrated in “enhanced privacy mode” where available. YouTube itself provides this mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially save any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are called up, the IP address and the following data are transmitted, indicating in particular which of our Internet pages you have visited: date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (specific Internet page), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred in each case in bytes, website from which the request comes (link), browser used, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service (e.g. Google+) before accessing the page or are permanently logged in. As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, through the enhanced privacy mode, YouTube only saves cookies on your device which do not contain any personally identifiable data unless you are currently logged in to a Google service.

When personal data is transferred to countries outside your country of residence, we take appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection (e.g. through contractual agreements or other legal mechanisms).

In particular, if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA)/EU and your personal data is transferred to third-party service providers in countries that are not considered adequate by the European Commission, we establish and implement appropriate contractual, organisational and technical measures with these third-party companies. This is achieved by applying the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, by reviewing the countries to which the data may be transferred, and by introducing specific technical and organisational mechanisms. In the course of use, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. To be able to guarantee adequate protection of your personal data in the event of the transfer of personal data to such so-called third countries, we have concluded what are known as EU-US standard contractual clauses with Google. The European Court of Justice considers the USA to be a country with a sufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. Since 10 July 2023, an adequacy decision by the European Commission has been in force for data transfers to the United States, certifying an adequate level of protection for data transfers to the United States – subject, however, to the proviso that the respective service provider can demonstrate certification under the DPF. Therefore, where possible, we communicate with the service provider to ensure the protection of your personal data with any additional measures that may be required.

b. Purpose of processing

The basis for the use of YouTube cookies for the associated storage of information on your device and its subsequent retrieval is based on GDPR art. 6(1)(a) (consent). The subsequent processing of your personal data is also based on your consent.

You can withdraw these consents for the future at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our OneTrust Cookie Settings.

a. Type and scope of processing

To display our training locations or to show you our wholesalers, we use the "Google Maps" component of the company Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google". Google Maps is only loaded after you have given your consent through our cookie settings. When displaying the dealer locations through the "Google Maps" component, Google sets cookies to process user settings and browser data, including your IP address and interactions with the map, when displaying the map and the associated functions. This may involve transfers of personal data outside the EEA/EU. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is therefore based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for organisations participating in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We operate fan pages on the social networks Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, XING, YouTube, Twitter, and Thingiverse. As operators of these fan pages, we are joint Controllers with the operators of these networks. When you visit one of our fan pages, the Controllers process personal data. As the Controller for the fan pages, we have entered into agreements with the social networks that, among other things, regulate the conditions for the use of these pages. We have integrated this privacy policy into the corresponding fan pages, from which you can obtain further information.

Moreover, social plug-ins from these social networks are included on our website and are offered by the respective company (“provider”). The social plug-ins are identified by the respective buttons on our website. Based on the data transmitted via the social plug-ins to the respective service, the service may be able to correlate you with your associated account. To enhance the protection of your data on our website, social plug-ins are integrated using a method known as the “two-click solution”. This ensures that on accessing one of our websites containing social plug-ins, no automatic connection is established with the servers of the respective provider.

Activation of the respective social plug-in function takes place in two stages. To activate a social plug-in, first, you must click on the link on our website. This activates the social plug-in and your browser initiates a connection to the servers of the provider. With a second click, you can interact with the social plug-in and send your recommendation, for example. If you are already logged into one of the social networks, the providers can directly correlate the visit to this website with your social media profile. If you click on and interact with the social plug-ins, information is also sent directly to one of the provider’s servers, where it is stored. The information may also be published on the social network and appear there under your contacts. Should you wish to prevent the direct correlation of data collected via our website with your profile, you will need to log out of your account with the respective provider prior to visiting our website.

The processing is based on GDPR art. 6(1)(a) (consent). You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser and OneTrust Cookie Settings.

Details about the extent and purpose of data collection by the provider as well as the processing and use of your data can be found in the privacy notice on the provider's website. You will also find further information on your data protection rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data confidentially. To prevent loss or misuse of the data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organisational security precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adapted in line with technological progress. However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures may be disregarded by other individuals or organisations over whom we have no influence. In particular, unencrypted data, e.g., when transmitted by email, can be read by third parties. From a technical point of view, we have no influence over this. It is the user's responsibility to protect the data they provide from misuse by means of encryption or other methods.

Our website contains hyperlinks to the websites of other providers. When activating these hyperlinks, you will be redirected from our website directly to the website of the other provider. These can also be the corporate websites of Weidmüller's partners. You will recognise this by the change of URL, among other things. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on other websites. For information on how your personal data is handled on other websites, please refer directly to the respective websites.

Your personal data will only be disclosed or otherwise transferred to third parties if:

• we are legally obliged to do so on the basis of an official or judicial order
• we are entitled to do so, e.g. because this is necessary to prosecute criminal offences or to exercise and enforce our rights or
• you have given prior consent
• the necessary legal requirements are met.

Third parties within the meaning of this section may also be the affiliated companies within the Weidmüller Group. The legal requirements for sharing and transferring data within the group of companies are met by the necessary data protection agreements.

We use service providers to provide services and to process your data relating to our services. The service providers process the data exclusively within the scope of our instructions and have been obligated to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. All processors have been carefully selected and are only provided access to your data to the extent and for the period required to provide the services or to the extent that you have consented to the data processing and use.

These disclosures may involve the transfer and processing of your personal data to other countries or jurisdictions. In cases where we transfer your personal data to other members of the Weidmüller Group, third parties or our service providers, we ensure that our agreements with them are governed by relevant legal mechanisms and safeguards, including data transfer agreements, designed to ensure the protection of your personal data.

You have the following rights (subject to the local laws applicable to you) in relation to the personal data we hold about you:

You have the right to request information from us about the data we have stored about you, as well as about its origin, receivers, or categories of receivers to whom this data is transferred to and the purpose for which it is stored.

If you have given your consent to the use of data, you can withdraw this consent at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future. To do so, simply send an email to dataprotection@weidmuller.dk or a written notification to Weidmüller AB, Box 31025, 200 49 Malmö, Sweden.

You may request the correction of inaccurate data or the completion of your data stored with us.

You have the right to erase and block the data we have stored about you. The erasure of your personal data usually takes place within two working days after the exercise of this right as a data subject. If statutory retention obligations or other legally established reasons prevent deletion, your data can only be blocked instead of deleted. After the erasure of your data, no more information can be provided.

If you request the return of the personal data you have provided to us, we will return it in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format; alternatively, you may ask us to transmit your personal data to another Controller in the same format. However, we will only be able to offer the latter option if this is technically possible.

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you on grounds relating to your particular situation, provided that the data processing is based on our legitimate interests. Unless we determine that we have compelling legitimate grounds for such processing that override your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is necessary for legal reasons, your objection will be upheld.

When you contact us by email at dataprotection@weidmuller.dk or by post to Weidmüller AB, Box 31025, 200 49 Malmö, Sweden, we will store the data you provide (your email address, your name and telephone number, if applicable) in order to answer your questions or respond to your request. We will delete the data obtained in this context as soon as it no longer has to be stored, or we will restrict its processing if we are unable to delete the data due to our statutory retention obligations.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data constitutes a violation of your rights.
